🎧 Listening Conversation
Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea.
Man: Really? I'm not so sure. 24/7 only during finals? Most of us need late nights throughout the semester, not just then.
Woman: True, but at least it helps when pressure peaks. And the quiet floor—that's overdue. Last finals, I couldn't concentrate because of group study chatter.
Man: But adding a quiet floor might not solve it. They could just enforce rules on existing floors. Plus, extended hours will increase staffing costs, which might lead to fewer new books.
Woman: I see your point, but I still think it's a step forward. The quiet floor gives us a dedicated space, and 24/7 during exams shows the university listens to student needs.
