🎧 Listening Conversation
W: Hey Tom, did you read the announcement about the library? I think it's great! M: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours is nice, but the quiet floor is unnecessary. W: Why? It would help so many students who can't concentrate in the main areas. M: But we already have a quiet study room on the third floor. Most students don't use it because it's too small and stuffy. W: That's true, but the new floor will be bigger and better equipped. M: Still, I think the library should focus on more important things, like updating the old computers. Many students complain about them. W: Well, I guess we see it differently. For me, the extra hours are the real benefit—they let me finish my projects without rushing.
