📖 Texto de lectura

M: Did you see the announcement about the library hours? I think it's a great idea. I often have to leave at 10 PM right when I'm in the middle of studying. Extra time will help me finish my work without rushing. Plus, hiring student assistants is smart—it gives more on-campus jobs to students like us. I know many friends who need part-time work. The only downside might be increased noise at night, but I think it's worth it.

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