🎧 Listening Conversation
Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I'm so excited! 24/7 hours during finals week will be a lifesaver. I always study best late at night. Man: I agree, but the maintenance closure bugs me. They're closing the library for two days right before finals. That's when I need to access the physical textbooks and quiet study spaces. Woman: True, but they said to use online resources. I think it's worth it. Plus, the maintenance means fewer broken printers and more reliable Wi-Fi during finals. That's a big plus. Man: I suppose. But two days without a library is tough for group projects. Woman: Groups can meet elsewhere, like the student center. And with the extended hours, we'll have more time overall to study. I think it's a smart trade-off.
