TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Notice: The university will extend library hours to 24/7 during final exam week, starting next Monday. This change aims to provide more study space for students. Additional security staff will be hired, and a quiet study floor will be designated in the east wing.

Student A: Did you see the notice about the library being open 24/7 during finals? I think it's a great idea. I often pull all-nighters before exams, and having a quiet place to study is crucial. Last semester, I had to study in my dorm, but my roommate's friends were always noisy. So, the extended hours will really help me focus. Student B: I see your point, but I'm worried about safety. Walking back to my apartment at 3 a.m. feels risky, even with more security. Also, the university could have used that money to buy more books or update our online resources, which benefit everyone, not just those who study late. Student A: That's true, but for me, the benefit of having a quiet space outweighs those concerns. I'll just use the campus shuttle at night.
