TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 2 AM on weekdays. This change aims to accommodate students' varied study schedules. To manage costs, the library will reduce its weekend hours, opening at noon instead of 9 AM on Saturdays and Sundays. The administration believes this adjustment better aligns with student needs.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library hours? I'm not happy about it. W: Really? I thought it was great news. I often stay late studying for exams. M: But think about the weekend change. Many students, like me, have part-time jobs on weekdays and only have time to study on weekend mornings. Opening at noon cuts into our prime study time. W: I see your point, but I rarely use the library on weekend mornings. I prefer studying late at night when it's quieter. M: That's true, but not everyone is a night owl. Plus, the weekend afternoons get crowded, so it's harder to find a quiet spot. I think they should keep the weekend hours and just add a few late nights. W: Well, I still support the change because it helps students who work during the day. But I understand your concern.
