TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/7 during finals week, starting next Monday. This change aims to provide students with more flexible study time. However, the university will reduce the number of available study rooms during this period to accommodate maintenance work. Students are encouraged to use the main reading areas instead.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library during finals week? I think it's great that they're keeping it open all night. I often study best late at night, and this gives me more options. W: I agree about the 24/7 hours, but I'm worried about the reduced study rooms. I always book a group study room for my project meetings. With fewer rooms, it'll be harder to find a quiet space for group work. M: That's true, but the main reading areas are usually quiet, and we can still meet there. Plus, the extended hours mean we can spread out our study time, so there's less crowding overall. W: I see your point, but group discussions aren't allowed in the main areas. That's why study rooms are essential. I think they should have kept all rooms available, even if it meant shorter hours. M: Well, I still support the change. The extra night hours are more valuable to me than having more rooms during the day.
