🎧 Listening Conversation
M: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea.
W: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours to 24/7 during finals seems unnecessary. Most students don't study past 2 a.m. anyway.
M: But some do, especially for group projects. And the quiet floor is a big plus. I often get distracted by noise on the main floors.
W: True, but the quiet floor might not be enough. They should also enforce stricter noise rules elsewhere. Plus, staying open all night could increase security costs.
M: I see your point, but I still think it shows the university cares. It'll help those who really need it, and the quiet floor will benefit everyone.
