TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus News: The university announces that it will extend the library's hours during finals week, from the current closing time of 10 PM to 2 AM. This change aims to provide students with more study space and reduce stress during exams. Additional security and shuttle services will be available to ensure student safety during late hours.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open until 2 AM during finals? I think it's a great idea. W: Really? I'm not so sure. I mean, I usually study better at home, and I worry about safety walking back to my dorm that late. M: But they're adding extra shuttles and security, so that should help. Plus, with more time, I won't feel so rushed to finish my papers. I can take breaks and still have time to come back. W: I see your point about the extended time, but for me, the late hours might not be worth it if I'm too tired to focus. I'd rather the library open earlier in the morning instead. M: Well, I think it's perfect for night owls like me. I can get more done without the pressure of the 10 PM closing time. W: I guess it depends on your study habits. Still, I'm a bit concerned about the noise and crowding if everyone stays later. M: That's true, but I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I'll definitely use it.
