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 complaints. The extension will require additional funding, which will be offset by a small increase in the student activities fee.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea!
Man: Really? I'm not so sure. The extra fee bothers me. We already pay so much for activities.
Woman: But think about finals week—we all struggle to find space, and many of us study late. The 24/7 access will really help.
Man: I get that, but the quiet floor is unnecessary. Most students already use headphones, and the noise problem is exaggerated.
Woman: Still, having a dedicated quiet floor will make it easier for those who need absolute silence. And the fee increase is small—like five dollars a semester. That's worth it for better study conditions.
Man: I suppose, but I'd rather they spent money on more books or better Wi-Fi. The quiet floor just seems like a waste.
Woman: I disagree. I think it's a smart investment in our academic success.
