TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Notice: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/7 during final exam week. This change aims to provide students with more flexible study spaces. However, to ensure safety, all students must show their ID cards upon entry after 10 PM. Security guards will be stationed at all entrances.

Student A: Did you see the notice about the library staying open all night? I think it's a terrible idea. Student B: Really? I thought it would be great for cramming. Why don't you like it? Student A: First, the ID card requirement after 10 PM is a hassle. I often forget my card, and I don't want to walk back to my dorm just to get it. It defeats the purpose of having a late-night study space. Student B: That's true, but they need security. Student A: Second, I doubt many students will actually use it. Most people prefer studying in groups in the student center, which is already open late. The library is too quiet and isolated. I think the university should spend money on more group study rooms instead. Student B: I see your point. Maybe the announcement isn't as helpful as it seems.
