📖 Reading Passage

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/5 (Sunday night through Friday night) starting next semester. This change aims to accommodate students' varying study schedules and increase access to resources during final exams. To manage costs, the university will reduce the hours of the campus gym, closing it at 9 PM on weekdays instead of midnight.

🎧 Listening Conversation

Student 1 (M): Did you see the email about the library going 24/5? That's awesome! I'm always pulling all-nighters before finals, and the library closing at 2 AM kills me. Now I can study whenever I want. Student 2 (W): I get that, but I'm not happy about the gym closing early. I work out after my evening classes, and 9 PM is too early. Many of us use it then. Also, I think the library was already open until 2 AM, which is enough for most students. The extra hours will probably be wasted except during finals, but the gym cut hurts everyone who values fitness.
❓ Question The woman expresses her opinion about the announcement. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives.
