TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Dining to Expand Late-Night Options

M: Did you see the announcement? They're keeping the dining hall open until midnight now! I'm thrilled—I always get hungry studying late, and the vending machine snacks just don't cut it. W: I get that, but I'm not so sure. I mean, who's going to staff it? They probably have to cut hours during the day or raise meal plan prices to pay for it. I'd rather they focus on improving food quality at regular times. M: I see your point, but I think it's worth it. I know so many students who skip dinner because of evening classes or labs, and they end up eating unhealthy stuff. With this change, we'll have a real meal option, which could help with focus and health. W: True, but I still worry about the cost. They might reduce the variety of food at dinner to save money, which would be a downside for most of us. M: Actually, they said they'll use part-time student workers, so it might not cost that much. Plus, it could create more on-campus jobs for us. I think it's a win-win.
