TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 2 AM on weekdays. This change aims to provide more study time for students, especially during exam periods. Additionally, the library will add a new quiet study area on the third floor to accommodate increased demand.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea. W: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours seems unnecessary. Most students can manage their time well enough. M: But during finals, the library is packed, and many of us have to leave early when it closes at 10. Extra hours mean we can actually finish our work. W: I suppose, but who will staff the library that late? It must cost a lot, and the money could be used for more books. M: True, but the new quiet area is also a plus. The current study spaces are noisy, so having a dedicated quiet zone will help concentration. W: Well, I still think it's an overreaction. Students should just start studying earlier instead of staying up late.
