TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend the library's opening hours on weekdays from 10 PM to midnight. This change aims to accommodate students who prefer studying late. Additionally, the university will add a new quiet study area on the third floor to reduce noise disturbances. These improvements are part of the university's commitment to enhancing the academic environment.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's great! I often lose track of time when I'm studying, and I hate having to pack up at 10 PM.\nW: I agree about the extended hours, but I'm not so sure about the new quiet area. I mean, the third floor is already pretty quiet.\nM: But that's just it—it's not always quiet. Sometimes people have group discussions there. Having a dedicated quiet floor will really help me focus, especially before exams.\nW: That's true. I've had times when I couldn't concentrate because of chatter. And I guess the extra two hours will help us both get more work done.\nM: Exactly! And with the new quiet area, we can actually use those hours productively.
