TOEFL 말하기 Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week and add a new quiet study floor. To fund this, the library will reduce its print journal collection by 20% and move to digital-only access for those titles. The administration believes this change will better meet student needs for study space and modern resources.

M: Did you see the library announcement? I'm really excited about the 24/7 hours during finals. I always struggle to find a place to study late at night. W: I get that, but I'm not so thrilled. Reducing print journals is a big deal for my research. I often need to browse physical copies for my history thesis. M: True, but digital access is faster and you can search more easily. Plus, the new quiet floor will be a game-changer—no more noisy group study areas when I need to focus. W: I suppose, but not all old journals are digitized. And last semester, the quiet floor was always full. I doubt one floor will be enough. M: But the 24/7 hours alone solves the space issue. I think it's worth the trade-off. W: Maybe for you, but I still think losing print is too risky.
