TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week, starting May 10. This change aims to provide more study space for students during peak exam periods. However, to accommodate this, the library will close for maintenance for two days in early May, and some study rooms will be temporarily converted into quiet zones.

Student 1 (Man): Did you see the library announcement? I think it's a great idea! Having 24/7 access during finals is a lifesaver. I often pull all-nighters, and the current 10 PM closing time is really inconvenient. Student 2 (Woman): I see your point, but I'm not so sure. The two-day closure right before finals will disrupt my group project. We planned to use the library's resources and study rooms for our final presentation. Also, converting study rooms to quiet zones means less space for group work, which is counterproductive. Student 1: Well, I understand your concern, but for me, the extended hours outweigh those downsides. I can always work from my dorm during the closure, and I rarely use the group study rooms. The 24/7 access is exactly what I need to focus without interruptions.
