Many people think that students learn course materials more effectively by taking exams, while others think that students learn more effectively by doing other activities, like completing projects, which one do you think is more effective?

This is actually an interesting topic that I have discussed before with my friends. I disagree that TV negatively impacts kids and should therefore be avoided. First, there are many educational programs out there, especially for young children. I remember when I was younger, I was allowed to watch Dora the Explorer every day. From that show, I learned the foundations of the Spanish language. Secondly, while there are some programs that are not kid-friendly, the television is an invention that is never going to go away. Children should not be shunned from it, but rather taught how to use the TV responsibly. Embracing TV is the best way to prepare kids for adulthood, when they can spend their time watching whatever they want.

Hands down, I would donate my money to a small local group. For one, I think that local charities do more for my community. When I was growing up, my parents always had us volunteer during the summer with a group that repaired the homes of those less fortunate in our town. Of course, someone had to pay for the supplies and equipment, but we provided the labor. Not only did those people get remodeled houses to live in, but our overall community was improved. If I had to donate money instead of time, I would donate to a local charity like that one because I would be able to see the impact that I was making on a more local level.

Which of the following companies would you prefer to work for? A company that offers you challenging and interesting projects but very few vacation days, or a company that offers you a job with boring work each day, but long vacations each year.

I would much rather have a boring job each day and longer vacations. First of all, I love to travel, so no matter what, I would want as many vacations as possible. When I was little, my mom worked for a company that offered few vacation days, so it was very unfortunate for our family because we hardly ever got away. Not only that, but I believe there are other things that can be interesting and exciting in your life besides your job. Even if work is boring, you can still have a good time with your friends and family or doing sports and hobbies in your free time. While interesting work projects would be nice too, they are certainly no substitution for long vacations every year.

To me, joining a sports team would definitely be the new hobby I would choose to learn. For one, playing sports is an excellent way to make new friends. It can be difficult to meet people these days, especially ones that share a common interest. But, if you enjoy the sport, your teammates will obviously enjoy it too. Another reason I would choose to join a sports team is because it keeps you fit. When I used to play volleyball, it was very physical. I never had to go to the gym, because I was able to stay healthy by playing volleyball every week. These are the reasons why, if I had to learn a new hobby, I would definitely join a sports team.

And after working with hundreds of students who earned their TOEFL Speaking score, I can tell you that while these sample responses are helpful, you might still have some trouble checking and grading your own responses.

Directions: You will now read a short passage and then listen to a conversation on the same topic. You will then be asked a question about the passages. After you hear the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak. Read a student letter in the university newspaper. You will have 45 seconds to read the letter. You may begin reading now.

Topic Development: This example is too short. It is only 52 seconds when on test day you will have 60 seconds to speak. Try not to have more than three seconds of silence. Besides that, the structure is excellent, the speaker began with the announcement and then transitioned to the man in the conversation.

Directions: You will now read a short passage and then listen to a lecture on the same topic. You will then be asked a question about the passages. After you hear the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak. Now read a passage from a business textbook. You have 45 seconds to read the passage below. You may begin reading now.

Topic Development: This example is a bit short, 53 seconds. Try not to have more than three seconds of silence on test day. However, she included all of the important information from the passages and showed how one detail leads to another.

Directions: You will now listen to part of a lecture. You will then be asked a question about it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.

But, believe it or not, there is also a benefit for the other baby chicks sharing the nest with the cuckoo bird baby. Once the cuckoo bird hatches, it provides the nest with protection. When the mother bird leaves the nest and a hungry predator comes to take advantage of her absence, the baby cuckoo releases a smelly odor that drives the predator away. If the other babies are allowed to remain in the nest with the cuckoo, then they are, in this way, also protected from these dangers.

Just like for the TOEFL independent speaking questions, you should check your own speaking responses using a checklist. The integrated speaking checklist is slightly different, but you follow the same steps to practice your TOEFL Speaking at home.

Hi Josh, thank you to you and the team at TST Prep for your amazing work. I just need to ask one question. In question 2, about the campus announcement. If the question asks us to summarise the points made from the listening, do we still need to mention the reasons from the change in the reading passage?

Hello, I am truly shocked at how the test is administered. I am fluent in English but have not yet been able to pass any of the four parts of the TOEFL. The practice test has nothing to do with how the actual test is administered. The only reason why I need to take the test is because I attended a University that is not recognized by TEA in Texas. What are some pointers that you are able to give me in passing the test? I am by like a 3 pts. from passing it. To be honest, I have already taken it three times and just wasting money on it for no good reason. Thank you

Hi Samuel and I am sorry to hear that you are having some trouble with the TOEFL Speaking. The easiest thing to do is to work with a teacher of course since they will be able to give you specific feedback, but if you can tell me some more about how you prepared before and how much time you have to prepare now I can give you some more specific feedback. You can shoot me an email at [email protected]
