TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university will extend library hours to 24/7 during finals week. Additionally, a new quiet study floor will be added to the main library building. The extension aims to accommodate increased demand for study space during exams, and the quiet floor is designed to reduce noise disturbances for students needing focused study time.

Woman: Did you see the announcement about the library? I think it's a great idea! Man: Really? I'm not so sure. The 24/7 hours sound good, but they're only during finals week. That's not enough for me—I often need late-night study sessions throughout the semester. Woman: But the quiet floor is a big plus. I can never find a silent place to study, especially during the day. Man: I agree that's helpful, but they're only adding one floor. With so many students, it'll fill up fast. Plus, the 24/7 hours will mean more noise at night with people coming and going, which could disturb those studying on the quiet floor. Woman: Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. Still, I think it's a step in the right direction. Man: Maybe, but I wish they'd make the extended hours year-round and add more than one quiet floor.
