📖 Texto de lectura

Campus Announcement: The university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. This change aims to provide more study space for students preparing for exams. Additionally, the library will add extra study lounges with power outlets and free coffee available from 10 PM to 6 AM.

🎧 Conversación de audio

Student A: Did you see the email about the library staying open all night during finals week? I think it's a great idea. I always struggle to find a quiet place to study late at night in my dorm. This will give me a proper space to focus without distractions. Also, the free coffee is a huge bonus—it will save me money since I usually buy expensive coffee from the café when I pull all-nighters. I can now study longer without worrying about my budget.

❓ Pregunta The man expresses his opinion about the announcement. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives.
