TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. The library will also add a new quiet study floor on the fourth level. These changes aim to accommodate increased student demand for late-night study spaces and reduce noise complaints.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's great, especially the 24/7 hours during finals. Last year, I had to leave at midnight when I was in the middle of reviewing for my biology exam. It was so frustrating. W: True, but I'm more excited about the new quiet floor. The current quiet areas are always crowded, and people still talk or type loudly. A whole floor dedicated to silence would really help me focus. M: Exactly! And because the fourth floor is less accessible, it will naturally attract fewer students, so it's perfect. Plus, the extended hours mean I can study at my peak time, which is late at night. I think these changes will really improve our study environment. W: I agree. I hope they also add more outlets and better lighting on that floor, but overall, I'm fully supportive.
