What do they finally decide to try?
Two late evenings for a month — O ensaio de duas tardes durante um mês substitui a proposta de abrir até às oito todos os dias.
The proposed late evenings are Tuesday and ___.
Thursday — A propõe Tuesday and Thursday por causa do horário do pessoal.
B questions how well the survey represents all residents.
True — A maioria das respostas vem de utilizadores das mesas de estudo; B distingue esse grupo de todos os residentes.
Why would the library open later on the trial mornings?
To keep within the budget — A relaciona adiar uma hora a abertura com respeitar o orçamento, não com reduzir a procura.
A noon visit is enough to show demand for evening opening.
False — B diz que devolver um livro ao meio-dia informa pouco sobre a procura ao fim do dia e pede uma contagem separada.
They will review the figures after ___ weeks.
four — A concretiza o prazo em four weeks; é o momento de rever os dados do ensaio.

Abre-a quando já tiveres tentado: lê-la antes transforma isto numa leitura.
A The survey says people want the library open later. Shall we move closing time to eight every day?
B I wouldn't go that far yet. Most replies came from people who already use the study desks, not from all residents.
A But they are the people likely to come in the evening.
B Possibly. Still, a popular request isn't the same as actual attendance. Could we try two late evenings for a month?
A Tuesday and Thursday would suit the staffing schedule. We'd have to open an hour later on those mornings to stay within our budget.
B Then make that trade-off clear. Otherwise the morning users will think they've simply lost a service.
A Should we count every visit as support for the trial?
B Count evening visits separately, and ask whether people came because of the new hours. Someone returning a book at noon tells us little about evening demand.
A So we'll announce the trial, explain the later morning opening, and review the figures after four weeks.
B Yes. If the evenings are quiet, that won't mean nobody values the library. It will mean this particular timetable needs another look.
