TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added on the third level to accommodate increased demand. The administration believes these changes will improve student success and reduce stress during exam periods.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I'm really excited about the 24/7 hours during finals. Last semester, I had to leave at midnight right when I was in the zone. Now I can finally pull all-nighters without worrying about being kicked out. Man: I get that, but I actually have some concerns. The quiet study floor might not be enough. I mean, the third floor is already supposed to be quiet, but people still talk and eat there. Plus, extending hours to 24/7 means more noise and disruption for students living in nearby dorms. I think they should have invested in more group study rooms instead. Woman: Hmm, but the extended hours help so many students who work during the day. And they could enforce the quiet floor better with the new space. I think it's a step in the right direction.
