TOEFLスピーキング Task 2

University Library Announces Extended Hours During Finals Week. Starting Monday, the library will be open 24 hours a day through Thursday of finals week to accommodate student study needs. Additional study spaces on the first floor will be available, and a new quiet study zone will be added on the third floor. Campus security will increase patrols during overnight hours to ensure safety.

Man: Did you see the library announcement? I think it's great that they're staying open 24/7 during finals. I always study better at night when it's quiet, so this really helps me. Plus, the extra study spaces mean I won't have to fight for a seat. Woman: I'm not so sure. I mean, it sounds good, but I worry about safety. Even with more patrols, I wouldn't feel comfortable walking back to my dorm at 3 a.m. Also, the new quiet zone is on the third floor, but that's where all the group study rooms are. It's going to be noisy with people moving around. Man: But for me, the night hours are perfect. I have a part-time job during the day, so I can only study late. And the quiet zone is separate from the group rooms, so I think it'll be fine. Woman: I see your point, but I still think the noise will be an issue. I prefer the library to close at a reasonable hour so I can get my sleep and study during the day.
