TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to reduce noise distractions. The extension will be funded by a small increase in student activity fees.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea! I always struggle to find a quiet place during finals, and the new quiet floor will be perfect. Plus, staying open all night means I can study when I'm most focused, even if it's 3 AM. The fee increase is tiny—like five dollars a semester—totally worth it for the convenience. Man: I see your point, but I'm not so sure. I mean, most students already have access to study spaces in dorms or cafes, and the fee affects everyone even if they don't use the library at night. Also, the quiet floor might not be enough—what about group study rooms? They're always crowded. Woman: But for me, the 24/7 access is a lifesaver. And the quiet floor is specifically what I need. I think they're addressing the main issues. Man: I guess, but I still think the money could be spent on more group rooms or better Wi-Fi. Woman: Well, I'm just happy they're doing something to help us during finals.
