📖 Reading Passage
Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university library will extend its opening hours to 24 hours during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study zone will be added on the third floor to accommodate students who prefer a silent environment. The administration believes this change will reduce stress and improve academic performance.
🎧 Listening Conversation
M: Did you see the library announcement? I think it's a great idea.
W: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours sounds nice, but it's only for finals week. Most of us need late-night study spaces throughout the semester, not just then.
M: That's true, but at least it's something. Plus, the new quiet floor is a big win. I can never find a silent spot now.
W: I get that, but the third floor used to be group study space. Now we'll lose that, and group projects will be harder.
M: Hmm, but I still think it's worth it. The quiet zone is exactly what many students have been asking for.
