TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's opening hours to 24/7 starting next semester. This change aims to accommodate students' diverse study schedules and increase access to resources. The extended hours will be implemented on a trial basis for one year, and students are encouraged to provide feedback.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library being open all night? I think it's a great idea. I'm a night owl, and sometimes I can't finish my projects during the day. With 24-hour access, I can study when I'm most productive. Also, it will reduce crowding during finals week. Last semester, I couldn't find a seat anywhere. W: I see your point, but I'm worried about safety. Walking across campus late at night could be dangerous, especially for students who live off-campus. And the library might not have enough staff to monitor all areas. M: That's true, but the university will probably increase security. Actually, they mentioned it in the announcement? No, they didn't, but I think they will. Overall, I'm still in favor because the benefits outweigh the risks.
