TOEFL การพูด Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 2 a.m. on weekdays and open 24 hours on weekends. This change aims to accommodate students' varied study schedules and provide more flexible access to resources. Additional staff will be hired to manage the extended hours, funded by a small increase in the student activity fee.

Man: Did you see the announcement about the library hours? I'm not thrilled about it. Woman: Really? I think it's great. I often stay late for my research. Man: I get that, but the fee increase bothers me. We already pay so much, and not everyone uses the library at night. Woman: But it's not just about night owls. The 24-hour weekend access helps commuters like me who can't come during the day. Man: Still, I doubt they need to hire many extra staff. They could use student workers or automated systems. Plus, the noise might disturb nearby dormitories if people leave late. Woman: I hadn't thought about the noise. But overall, I support the change because it shows the university values our study needs. Man: I see your point, but I'm concerned about the cost and the potential disruption. I'd prefer they focus on improving study spaces elsewhere instead.
