TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend the library's opening hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added on the third floor, designated for individual silent study only. The change aims to accommodate increased student demand during exam periods and improve study conditions.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea! Man: Really? I'm not so sure. The 24/7 hours during finals week sound nice, but I doubt many students will actually use them late at night. Most people study during the day. Woman: But I will! I'm a night owl, and the current closing time at midnight cuts into my best study hours. Plus, having a quiet floor is perfect for me—I get distracted easily. Man: I see your point, but the quiet floor will take away group study space. The second floor is already cramped for group projects. Woman: Actually, the new floor is on the third, and the announcement says it's for individual study. They're not reducing group areas. And with more space, fewer people will be crammed into the main reading room. Man: Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I was too quick to judge.
