TOEFL การพูด Task 2

Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours during finals week from 10 PM to 2 AM. This change aims to accommodate students who prefer late-night studying. However, to fund the extended hours, the library will reduce its weekend hours from 10 AM-6 PM to 12 PM-5 PM during the regular semester. The university believes this balance will better serve student needs.

Man: Did you see the announcement about the library hours? I think it's a great idea! I always pull all-nighters during finals, and having the library open until 2 AM would be a lifesaver. Plus, I can't focus at home with my roommate's noise. Woman: Really? I'm not so sure. They're cutting weekend hours. I use Saturday afternoons to do my research papers. If the library closes at 5 PM, I'll have to rush my work. Man: But think about it—most students are cramming for finals, not writing papers on weekends during the regular semester. The extended hours target the busiest time. Woman: Maybe, but what about commuters like me? I can't stay until 2 AM because I have a long drive. The weekend cut hurts us more than the late-night extension helps. Man: That's true, but the library is already crowded at night during finals. I think it's worth the trade-off.
