TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: The university will extend the library's hours to 24/7 starting next semester, citing increased demand for late-night study spaces. To accommodate this, the library will reduce its weekend hours from 10am-10pm to 10am-6pm. The administration believes this change will better serve students during exam periods.

Man: Did you see the new library hours? I think it's a terrible idea. I mean, 24/7 during the week is great, but cutting weekend hours? That's when I do most of my research and group projects. Woman: Really? I actually think it's a smart move. Most students study late on weekdays anyway, and weekends are usually quiet. Plus, the library staff can focus on restocking and maintenance when it's closed. Man: But not everyone has weekend classes or jobs. I work on Saturdays, so Sunday is my only free day to catch up. And with the library closing at 6, I'd have to rush home. Also, group projects often meet on weekends—where are we supposed to go? Woman: True, but the university could open other buildings. Still, I see your point. Maybe they should keep it open at least until 10 on Sundays.
