Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university library will extend its hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study zone will be added on the third floor to accommodate students who need a distraction-free environment.

M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea, especially the 24/7 hours. Last finals week, I had to leave at midnight when I was in the middle of reviewing for my biology exam. It was really frustrating. W: I agree, but I'm more excited about the quiet study zone. The current study areas are so noisy. People talk on their phones or chat with friends. I can't concentrate at all. M: Exactly. And with the extended hours, I won't have to rush my studying. I can take breaks and still have plenty of time to prepare. W: Plus, the quiet zone will help me focus better, so I'll be more efficient. That means I can get more done in less time. M: Right. I think these changes will really help us perform better on our finals.
