TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Notice: The university will extend the library hours to 24/7 during final exams week. This change is intended to accommodate students' study needs. Additional security staff will be hired to ensure safety, and quiet study areas will be maintained. The extended hours will be in effect from the Sunday before finals to the Friday of finals week.

Man: Did you see the notice about the library being open 24/7 during finals? I think it's a great idea. Woman: Really? I'm not so sure. It might be noisy and crowded. Man: Well, they said they're adding security, and they'll keep quiet areas. I think it's helpful because I have late-night study sessions and the library is the only quiet place on campus. Woman: But I worry about safety at night. Walking back to the dorm at 3 a.m. is scary. Man: That's true, but they're hiring more security, so it should be safer. Also, I can plan my study time better without rushing to leave at 10 p.m. Woman: I see your point, but I still think it might disturb students who live near the library with the noise. Man: They said they'll maintain quiet areas, so noise won't be an issue. I think it's a win-win.
