TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university library will extend its operating hours to 24/7 during midterm and final exam weeks. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to reduce noise disturbances. These changes aim to accommodate students' varying schedules and improve study conditions.

Student 1 (Man): Did you see the library announcement? I'm really excited about the 24/7 hours during exams. Last semester, I had to leave at midnight when I was cramming for my finals, and it broke my concentration. Now I can study all night without interruptions. Also, the new quiet floor is perfect! I can never find a silent spot near my dorm. But I wonder if they'll have enough staff to manage the extended hours. Still, I think it's a great move overall. Student 2 (Woman): I'm not so sure. I mean, 24/7 hours sound good, but most students, like me, prefer to study early in the morning. The library already opens at 7 a.m., which is fine. And adding a quiet floor might not solve the noise issue because the real problem is people talking on the main floors. They should enforce stricter rules instead. Plus, extending hours will increase operating costs, which might lead to higher student fees. I'm against this plan.
