TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend the library's opening hours to 24/5 (Monday through Friday). This change aims to accommodate students' varying study schedules and provide more flexible access to resources. To implement this, additional security staff will be hired, and a small technology fee of $15 per semester will be added to all students' bills.

M: Did you see the email about the library staying open all night on weekdays? I think it's a great idea. I often pull all-nighters before exams, and having a quiet place to study is crucial. The fee is nothing compared to the cost of coffee I'd buy at a café to stay awake. Plus, with more security, I'll feel safer walking around campus late. W: I see your point, but I'm not so sure. I rarely study past 10 p.m., and the fee affects everyone, even those who never use the library at night. It seems unfair. Also, hiring extra staff might mean fewer funds for new books and databases, which benefits all students. The library is already underfunded in those areas.
