📖 Reading Passage
The university announces that starting next semester, the campus library will extend its hours to 24/5, remaining open from 5:00 PM on Sunday to 9:00 PM on Friday, with Saturday closed for maintenance. The library will also increase the number of study rooms available for group projects, converting some quiet study areas into collaborative spaces.
🎧 Listening Conversation
M: Did you see the new library announcement? I’m not thrilled about it.
W: Really? I thought it was great—more hours means more time to study.
M: But they’re closing on Saturday! That’s when I do most of my weekend work, and now I’ll have to cram everything into Sunday evening. Plus, converting quiet areas into group rooms is a disaster for me—I need silence to focus, and my study spot will be gone.
W: I see your point, but for me, the extra late-night hours are perfect because I work part-time during the day. And more group rooms help my study group meet without hassle.
M: Well, I hope they’ll reconsider, or at least keep some quiet zones.
