TOEFL 말하기 Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to reduce noise distractions. The administration believes these changes will improve student performance and satisfaction.

W: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea. M: Really? I'm not so sure. The 24/7 hours sound nice, but they'll cost a lot of money. The university could spend that on more important things, like updating the old computers. W: But finals week is so stressful. Having the library open all night helps students who work during the day. Plus, the quiet floor is a must—last year, I couldn't concentrate because of group chats in the main area. M: I get that, but most students have dorms or apartments to study in. And the quiet floor might not be enough. They should also enforce the noise rules strictly. W: Still, I think the benefits outweigh the costs. More study space and longer hours will help everyone, especially during finals. M: I disagree. I think it's a waste of resources. The university should focus on improving classroom technology instead.
