托福口语 Task 2

Campus Notice: The university will extend the library's operating hours to 24/7 starting next semester. This change aims to accommodate students' varying study schedules and reduce overcrowding during peak exam periods. Additional funding will be allocated to ensure adequate staffing and security during overnight hours.

Woman: Did you see the notice about the library being open 24/7? I think it's a great idea. Man: Really? I'm not so sure. I mean, it might help some students, but I doubt it'll be worth the cost. Woman: Well, for me, it's perfect. I work part-time in the evenings, so I can only study late at night. Right now, I have to rush through my work when the library closes at midnight. With 24/7 hours, I can study at my own pace. Man: That's true, but think about the extra expenses for staffing and security. The university might cut funding for other things, like new books or the tutoring center. Woman: Actually, the notice says they've allocated additional funding specifically for this, so they won't need to cut elsewhere. Plus, I've heard that many students complain about not finding seats during finals. This would solve that problem too. Man: I hadn't thought about that. Maybe it is worth it after all.
