TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Announcement: The university will extend the library's operating hours from 10 PM to midnight on weekdays, starting next month. This change aims to support students' academic needs during exam periods. Additionally, the library will provide free coffee and tea after 9 PM on these extended nights to promote a comfortable study environment.

Woman: Did you see the email about the library hours? I'm so excited! I always have to leave at 10 PM when I'm in the middle of studying. Man: Really? I think it's a waste of resources. Most students don't even stay past 9 PM, except during finals. And free coffee after 9 PM? That's just extra cost for the school. Woman: But think about it—many of us have part-time jobs and can't start studying until late. I know my roommate works until 8 PM, so she'd definitely use those extra hours. Man: I get that, but they could just extend hours only during exam week, not every day. And the coffee will make the library noisy and messy. I'd rather they spend that money on more books. Woman: Well, I think it's worth it. It shows the school cares about our needs, and I'll definitely be there every night.
