TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

The university will extend the library's operating hours during finals week from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. This change aims to provide students with more study space during peak exam periods. Additional security staff will be on duty, and a free late-night shuttle service will be added to ensure safe transportation for students returning to campus housing.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open later during finals? I think it's a great idea. I've often had to leave at 10 PM right when I was in the zone for studying. Now I can stay longer and get more done. W: True, but I'm worried about the late-night shuttle. It might not run frequently enough, and if I have to wait too long, I'd rather just go back to my dorm earlier. M: That's a valid point, but they said the shuttle will run every 15 minutes, so the wait shouldn't be too bad. Also, with more security, I'll feel safe even if I stay until 1 AM. Plus, having a quiet place to study without distractions helps me focus better than in my dorm. W: I guess you're right. I might use it a couple of nights, especially to prepare for my big exams.
