TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Notice: The university will extend the library's weekday hours to 24 hours starting next semester. This change aims to provide more flexible study time for students, especially during exam periods. The extended hours will require additional staffing and will be funded by a slight increase in the student activity fee.

Man: Did you see the notice about the library being open all night? I think it's a great idea. I often pull all-nighters before finals, and having a quiet, well-lit place to study is so helpful. Plus, my roommate is always noisy, so I need an escape. Woman: I see your point, but I'm not so sure. The extra fee is a bit much for students already on a tight budget. And don't forget, most of us already have access to 24-hour study spaces in the dorm lounges. Man: True, but those lounges are not always quiet or clean. And the fee increase is only five dollars per semester, which is pretty reasonable for the benefit. Woman: Well, if it means better study conditions, maybe it's worth it. I just hope they actually keep the library quiet and safe at night.
