📖 Reading Passage
Campus Notice: The university will be extending library hours to 24/7 during final exam weeks. This change aims to provide students with more flexible study options. To accommodate this, additional security staff will be hired, and the library's café will remain open throughout the night. The extended hours will begin on the first day of finals and end on the last day.
🎧 Listening Conversation
Man: Did you see the notice about the library being open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea. I often pull all-nighters before my big exams, and it's so inconvenient to have to leave at midnight. Plus, studying at home has too many distractions—my roommates can be really noisy. With the library open, I can focus better. Woman: But won't that be a waste of money? Hiring extra security and keeping the café open all night must be expensive. Man: Yeah, but think about the benefits. Students who live off-campus might not have a good place to study. Also, it shows the university cares about our success. I'm sure many students will use it, so it's worth the cost. Woman: I see your point. I just hope it's not too crowded. Man: That's another reason—having more space and time reduces the stress of finding a seat. Overall, I'm really supportive.
