TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Extended Library Hours During Finals Week Starting Monday, the library will be open 24 hours a day through the end of finals week. This change is intended to provide students with more flexible study spaces during the exam period. Additionally, the library will offer free coffee and tea from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. each night. We hope these extended hours will help reduce stress and support student success.

Man: Did you see the announcement about the library being open all night during finals? That's great, isn't it? Woman: Actually, I'm not so sure. I mean, it sounds nice, but I think it might cause more problems than it solves. Man: What do you mean? More time to study is always good. Woman: Well, first, the free coffee will just make people more awake, but then they'll be too jittery to concentrate. And second, if the library is open 24 hours, it will be really noisy with so many students coming and going all night. I prefer a quiet place to study, and I think the extended hours will just make it crowded and distracting. Man: Hmm, I see your point. But I still think it's helpful for those who need late-night access. Woman: I understand, but I just don't think it's the best solution.
