TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: New Library Hours Starting next semester, the university library will extend its hours to 24/7 during exam weeks. Additionally, a quiet study floor will be added to reduce noise distractions. The administration believes this will improve student performance and satisfaction.

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 only during exam weeks seems too limited. What about the rest of the semester? Many of us work on projects year-round. M: True, but at least it helps during finals. And the quiet floor is a big plus—it's often too noisy to concentrate. W: But they didn't mention adding more study rooms. The quiet floor might not be enough. Also, who will staff the library at night? It could cost a lot. M: I still think it's a step in the right direction. The late-night access will benefit many students. W: I see your point, but I'd rather see consistent longer hours and more staff support.
