The university will extend the library's hours to 2 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday during the final exam period. The extra hours will provide students with more study space and reduce crowding. Additionally, the university will hire more student assistants to help staff the extended shifts, creating more on-campus job opportunities.
🎧 Listening Conversation
Man: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open until 2 a.m.? I think it's a great idea. Woman: Really? I'm not so sure. It might just be a waste of money. Man: But think about it—during finals, the library is always packed. I can never find a seat after 10 p.m. With extended hours, I can actually study late without having to camp out early. Woman: That's true, but the extra staff will cost the university a lot. Man: They said they're hiring student assistants. That's extra income for students, and it helps cover the cost. Plus, more students can study effectively, which might improve our grades. Woman: I hadn't thought about the job angle. Maybe it's not so bad after all.
❓ Question The man expresses his opinion about the announcement. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives.
