TOEFL Устная речь Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's opening hours from 10 PM to midnight on weekdays, starting next semester. The extension aims to provide more study time for students, especially during exams. Additional funding will cover staffing and utility costs, and the university expects this change to improve academic performance and student satisfaction.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's great! I often lose track of time while studying and get kicked out at 10. Now I can stay later without rushing. Man: I see the benefit, but I'm a bit worried. The library is already noisy at night with group projects. More hours might mean more distractions, not more productivity. Woman: True, but they could enforce quiet hours on the upper floors. Also, for students like me who work during the day, this is the only time to study. Man: I get that, but the 10 PM closing forces us to plan better. If we have until midnight, we might procrastinate more. Woman: I disagree. I think it's worth it, especially for those with busy schedules. The extra hours will reduce stress for many of us who have no other quiet place to study.
