TOEFL Speaking Task 2

Campus Announcement: Starting next semester, the university library will extend its weekday hours to 2 a.m. and add more group study rooms on the second floor. This change aims to accommodate students' late-night study needs and encourage collaborative projects. The library will also introduce an online booking system for all study rooms to ensure fair access.

M: Did you see the library announcement? I'm really excited about it. W: Really? I'm not so sure. Extending hours sounds nice, but who will actually use the library at 2 a.m.? Most students prefer studying at home or in dorms late at night. M: But many students, especially those with part-time jobs, can only study late. And the additional group study rooms are great for our project work. W: I guess, but the online booking system could be a problem. It might be complicated and hard to use, and not everyone has reliable internet access. M: I think it'll be fine. The system will be simple, and the library will provide training. Plus, more rooms mean less competition for space. W: Well, I still think the money could be better spent on more books and databases instead of rooms and hours that few will use.
