TOEFLスピーキング 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 to reduce noise disruptions. The administration believes these changes will improve student performance and satisfaction.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea! Man: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours during finals week sounds nice, but it won't help much if most students are already stressed and need breaks. Plus, a new quiet floor might not solve the noise issue—people still talk in other areas. Woman: But think about it: many students cram at night and need a place to study. And the quiet floor will give those who need silence a dedicated space. Man: I see your point, but I still think it's a waste of money. The library is already open until midnight, and most students leave by then. And adding a floor won't stop group study sessions from being loud in the main areas.
