TOEFL 말하기 Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 2 AM on weekdays during finals week. Additionally, a new 24-hour quiet study room will be added to the main library. These changes aim to provide more flexible study options for students during high-stress periods.

Woman: Did you see the new library announcement? I'm thrilled about the extended hours during finals! Last semester, I had to leave at midnight when I was in the middle of reviewing for my biology exam. Now I can stay until 2 AM and get more done. Man: I agree, but I'm even more excited about the 24-hour quiet study room. The regular study areas get so noisy. But wait, won't the extra hours and the new room cost a lot? I mean, they need more staff and maintenance. Woman: That's true, but I think it's worth it. I know many students like me who work part-time during the day and can only study at night. This gives us equal opportunities. Also, the quiet room will help me concentrate better, which means I can finish my work faster and not waste time. Man: Good point. I hadn't thought about the part-time angle. And yeah, a quiet space is a game-changer for deep focus.
