TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Notice: The university will extend library hours to 2 a.m. during finals week, starting next Monday. This change aims to provide students with more study space during peak exam periods. Additional security staff will be on duty to ensure safety.

Woman: Did you see the notice about the library staying open until 2 a.m. during finals? I think it's a great idea. Man: Really? I'm not so sure. I mean, most students won't use it that late. The library is already pretty empty after 10 p.m. Woman: But for those of us who are night owls, it's perfect. I have a group project, and we often can't find a quiet place to meet late. Man: But what about the extra cost for security and utilities? The university could spend that money on more important things like new computers. Woman: Actually, I think it's worth it. Many students work part-time during the day and can only study at night. Plus, having a safe, quiet place would help reduce stress. Man: I see your point, but I still think it's unnecessary for the majority.
