🎧 Listening Conversation
Man: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea. Woman: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours to 24/7 sounds good, but it's only for finals week. Most students need late-night study space throughout the semester, not just then. Man: That's true, but the quiet floor is also helpful. I've often been distracted by group study sessions on the main floors. Woman: I get that, but they could simply enforce quiet rules on existing floors. Adding a whole new floor seems expensive and might take time to build. Man: Maybe, but I still think it shows the university cares. Plus, the extra floor will be ready by next semester, so it's not that slow. Woman: I suppose, but I'd rather they focused on extending hours every day. That would benefit more students. Man: Well, I see your point, but for me, the quiet floor is the biggest win. I'll definitely use it.
