TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend the library's operating hours to 24/7 during final exam weeks. This change aims to provide students with more flexible study spaces. However, to accommodate this, the library will close for maintenance for two days before each exam week begins.

Man: Did you see the email about the library staying open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea! I always struggle to find a quiet place to study late. Woman: I see the benefit, but I'm worried about the two-day closure right before exam week. That's when I usually need to access the reference books for my term papers. Man: True, but it's only two days. They usually schedule maintenance during less busy times, and I can plan ahead and check out books early. Woman: Still, some students might not be able to plan that well. Man: But the extended hours during exams will help more students overall, especially those who work during the day. I think the pros outweigh the cons.
