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. The library will also add more study carrels and quiet zones on the third floor to accommodate increased demand. This change aims to reduce noise complaints and provide better study environments for all students.

W: Did you see the email about the library? I think it's a great idea. M: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending to 24/7 during finals sounds good, but it's only for one week. What about the rest of the semester? Many of us have deadlines earlier. W: But that's when the pressure is highest. And the extra quiet zones are helpful—I've had trouble finding a silent spot before. M: True, but they're only adding them on the third floor. The first floor is still going to be noisy. Plus, staying open all night might encourage last-minute cramming, which isn't healthy. I'd rather they extended hours throughout the semester. W: I see your point, but at least they're trying something. I still support it.
