TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Beginning next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week only. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to the main library, accessible with a valid student ID. The administration believes these changes will improve student performance and reduce stress during exam periods.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I'm really excited about the 24/7 hours during finals week. Last semester, I had to leave at midnight when I was in the middle of studying for my biology exam. Staying all night would have helped me so much. W: I get that, but I think the quiet study floor is a bigger deal. I mean, the library is always so noisy with group projects and people chatting. I can never concentrate there. A dedicated quiet floor would be perfect for me. M: True, but they're only adding one floor. What if it's full? I'd rather they made the whole library quiet after 10 p.m. or something. But at least the extended hours mean I can study when I'm most productive, even if it's 3 a.m. W: I suppose you have a point. But I still think the quiet floor benefits more students who need to study during the day. The extended hours only help a few night owls like you.
