TOEFL SPEAKING question 1 (9 samples)

[kahvaltimasasi]

I can not understand 3rd question and 6th question. Narrator's accent is so gay.

[shanavasSiegend]

hi guys . i think it would be better if we practice speaking .you can add me in skype shanavas.siegend.

[berkk1903]

i can speak like that even in my own language.we have to think dont we?

[ginametry]

@ milosskomi You have to get more than the required minimum always to be in the safe side...

Videos of ouliogroove in SPEAKING & LISTENING are sooooooooooooo beneficial,

Also Cambridge TOEFL preparation book is very good and advanced. You can get it from online amazon.

Have an organized schedule focusing on TOEFL only for a period from 21-30 days Maximum.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE

Good Luck

[milosskomi]

I only need 80 on Toefl. How much this can help me with that, I'm new in this, so any help is welcome thx

[ginametry]

For example: what is your favorite class? who is your favorite teacher ? who is the person who affected you the most? who is the one whom you cant forget and you appreciate ? ALL these Qs can have the same idea of answer to Q.1 here (about the English class and teacher ) and so on.....try to be practical in study and organize your schedule ...God with you all

[ginametry]

By the way, do not be scared from the sample answers here, they are IDEAL, in real exam you are not required to be as such of course, but within the sample answers here there are a lot of ideas which can be used to answer different Qs.

[ginametry]

I wanted to comment on this video long time ago to THANK Mr. Ouliogroove a loooooooooooooot for these nice videos specially the speaking and the listening tests.... I would like to advice everyone practicing toefl ibt to try them on youtube, they are so beneficial and available for free ......Do NOT MISS these videos guys and Good luck for all of us.

[foxhuyi1020]

My skype is foxhuyi add me for practice speaking please!!

[eldflaugavisindi]

Is it natural to try to strangle your examiner during TOEFL?

[eldflaugavisindi]

"i remember our teacher was always smiling"... maybe she had a twitch

[voytas1024]

Question 5 got me. I sat there for 15 seconds and couldn't think of an answer let alone reasons and examples to support it!

[markjones0000]

cheater Koreans in WC 2002

FUCK the sample answers

and the guy with the fucking british accent here !!!

[MouhadLuas]

thanks, your tips are valuable!

[GGothica]

Thank you very much. you are so kind. =)

[tam241]

sorry, but I don't understand the 6th question, which public.....do you enjoy going to?

[allbymyself77]

@tam241 which public place do you enjoy...

[royyour]

@tam241 which public place you want to go to...., answer could be a restaurant, a bar, club or night club.

[jianaozhonghua]

how much can these samples get?? full mark??

[soulcurry1]

None of the answers are 45 second. the speakers should have long been cut each time. =|

[gabv25]

@soulcurry1 thank you!! i was saying the same thing. That's really unfair! It means that if you want to give an answer as perfect as the samples you will never do it.

[Leo19Br]

Since when soccer is the most popular sport in Korea?

What about taekwondo?

These answers are to perfectly structured and follow the same pattern, sounds unnatural... download ETS TOEFL sample, gives you a much better perspective.

[grisknack]

i will never pass.......

[kgopisudha68]

these sample responses have a pattern. Firstly a thesis....followed by first reason supporting thesis with some details..

then comes second reason nd again details abt this reason nd finally a conclusion saying that "due to above reasons so and so happend"....

[ruchkal1]

Hi, thank you for the videos. They were really helpful for me. I got 27 for the speaking section with overall marks of 95. Thanks again

[IreneMilene]

Thank you so much for these tests!!! IJust before my test day I went through all of them and it really helped me. My TOEFL IBT speaking is 26 THANK YOU!!! BTW, TOEFL sample test also helped me a lot! Good luck!!!

[ssss1234123412341234]

practice 6, who would ever wanna talk about drinking beers on a standardized tests?

[var20111]

Hi Ouliogroove,

I got my results 2 days back, R 23, L 23, S 26, W 22 in my first attempt, that too with the preparation time of 20 days, This was possible because of your videos. Your speaking and listening videos are too good. Speaking videos will give us an idea of ideal answers although this much of perfectness is not needed in toefl exam to get good scores. And the level of listening videos are really good and match toefl standards. Thanks a lot.

[bhavi4all]

toefl low score???? was that the biggest obstacle that you had to overcome.. ?? lol....am jealous man...

[maggycol]

@bhavi4all you have to answer whatever that comes to your mind in just 5 seconds! Imagine! o.O

[bhavi4all]

@maggycol i know that :) i just gave my toefl exam yesterday .... but still.... there are many obstacles that come into your mind when you just listen to the word "obstacle" ...rather than toefl low score.. :)

[thegirlintube]

@bhavi4all It's not your obstacle???? I'm jealous of you. Though I'm wondering why you're here!?!?

[bhavi4all]

@thegirlintube

oh honey ... Why i was here??? i ll clear that doubt for you .. I was here , coz i had to prepare for my toefl exam. If you know what preparation is , and if you know what toefl is, then you might understand what i said :) .. and i scored 113 a long way back in toefl in first attempt. And i found these videos really helpful in my 2 days preparation for the exam. But i still stand by my word about the obstacle thing. I am still jealous of that girl/guy. :)

[bhavi4all]

@thegirlintube And yeah it was never a obstacle..not even close to being called as an "obstacle".. thats the answer to your orignal question :) .. so i cant say anything about you being jealous for this thing :) ...

[thegirlintube]

@bhavi4all you're not making sense, and your grammar was horrible, not to mention your spelling.

[bhavi4all]

@thegirlintube - i think i am making sense to anyone who knows english well :) ... and "please do mention my spelling mistakes" ..that might help me, because i really need to learn from someone who thinks toefl is a big hurdle, but still have guts to point out someone else's mistakes :) . Please. Help me out here. Point out the mistakes, and if you are right, i might accept them. :)

[bhavi4all]

@thegirlintube And regarding that profanity you used for me, on my profile, I ll reply here. First correction for you honey. If you really want to be technical, "Bitch" has to be used only for Girls, not for guys. only female gender actually. I mean thats being really technical. But I dont blame you for being ignorant of this fact, coz if you dont even know the basic english, then how can i expect you to be equipped with technical details of the language :) I hope i "made sense" this time.

[thegirlintube]

@bhavi4all and that's exactly I called you BITCH,

[rumit4all]

@thegirlintube "and that's exactly i called you bitch" ... lol... earlier i really thought you were good in english .. but from that reply , i can simply make out that you might not have even crossed 100 in toefl ...lol.... :) sorry ... but just my guess from that stupid reply of yours!!!

[dadosexy12]

God, the music at the begining is creepy :O

[kevinbacon21]

hey ouliogroove just want to say thanks to your vids.. it really helps a lot.

at last i passed my toefl.

I need to prepare for my nclex

thanks to you

toefl SUCKS!!! ^_^

[whattherussia]

Geez, hope I an nail it...

[nevineemile]

thank u very much for this post, it is very useful

[TripperDipper1]

Hi!

First of all, thanks a lot for these videos. They will help me a lot, because I am really weak in speaking.

Do you have more of these videos? Especially the sample answers further my progress!

And do you guys know when the time starts running? Do I have 15 seconds to prepare AFTER hearing the question or does the time already run when the narrator tells me the question?

[pirinas1]

@TripperDipper1  the time starts running aftrer the question..

[maggycol]

@pirinas1 i am going to pee

[pirinas1]

@TripperDipper1 time strats running after the question, its like having 5-10 sec extra time.At least thats what i remember from the last test that i took!

[pirinas1]

@TripperDipper1 time strats running after the question, its like having 5-10 sec extra time.At least thats what i remember from the last test that i took!

[ShreKun4uk]

I took TOEFL couple days ago and it went well. Thanks for these videos, they helped me a lot!

[JPons13]

I don't find it very helpfull when the answers eventually start lasting more than 45 seconds :(

[rebelx2x]

12 people failed

[lostmotel1]

guys, wtf is this? you heard the sample answer about the pub? is it the sample answer straight outta the manual of the perfect loser?? c'mon, enjoy bear, atmosphere...? screw her! my favorite place is a fuckin' club where I can get a whole lotta damn booze, hook up any chick that comes around and go back home wasted dancing on my hands!!!! thumbs up if you are game!

[LordZaamus]

So, Koreans are proud for their 2002 soccer robberies to Italy and Spain (that won the two successive World Cups)? Let them stay content with that then...

[LordZaamus]

The moment I had to overcome was when I got a low score on TOEFL........ man, you really had a most joyful life, didn't you? <.<

[taco127]

i like how the korean chick talked about how korea beat japan anf such..

shes a racist!

[KeyAis]

@taco127 korean and japanese don't like each other haha

[taco127]

@KeyAis im japanese and i like korean ppl haha

[KeyAis]

@taco127 oh, glad to hear that ^^

[WinxRosy]

My exam is day after 2mrw... didnt practice much and therefore ive 2 rely on my common sense... wish me luck

[XxxXedvXxxX]

"the moment I had to overcome"....that's the shttiest answer I have ever heard...I only listened to the beggining and I already knew it wasn't ok

[dunhillsolo]

I think it's not a listening practice part, why I need to listen to example very hard.

a lot of words connected to each other as they wanna confuse ppl. so unclear.

i have to do more practice!!

[alejnaarifi]

you mean 8 samples

[randname123]

I thought starcraft was korea's favorite sport

[Elmirgtr]

"15 seconds" is not fair

[prototypeko]

Parking car my ass !. can't u use a taxi ? . it's the food that's important.!

[Elmirgtr]

I really notice that I'm improving myself in speaking with your examples.I'm trying to speak in 45 seconds.thank you

[luizcadu]

Hi,

I'm just passing by to thank you for your very helpful videos! I took the test and got the score I needed to ask for a doctorate scholarship. Your videos were the most helpful material I found, especially for the speaking section, which is the hardest one for me!

[Evelynoto]

i can't understand the third question ._. please someone else explain me this X3 i playback over and over and a ican't get it omg!!

[ouliogroove]

@Evelynoto

Which custom from your country do you think people in other countries should adopt?

[Evelynoto]

@ouliogroove thank you C:

[protagonistpoint]

@Evelynoto, Hello buddy, I am going to make the Toefl iBT too. The question meant that: what do think the good things in your country that people from other countries should follow?, the answer for that question was for a girl from Koria I think :), wish you the best luck

[gazitron]

@Evelynoto yeah, the third question has luck of coherence =P

[ROIMEI]

Thanks for these nice videos. Any one knows how to obtain the audio script of these videos? because it is not easy to understand all the words.

[TheProtege81]

I thot I had no problems with the language but this made it even easier. Thank you a million times

[TheCoolHunk1]

This guy is a genius. He helped me get my desired goal in Toefl. In the first try I only got 84. But after practicing his videos I ended up with a 103. Here's my score in toefl:

Reading - 28

Listening - 24

Speaking - 27

Writing - 24

Thanks ouliogroove

[zuiepi4]

@TheCoolHunk1 GOOD JOB!

[Haasgen]

Hi all! I took the test last week and these samples helped me a whole lot! The test is just like that.

For those who want to prepare for it, I would suggest that you write your own answers, following the same structure of the samples.

After sometime you will improve and get it right.

Still waint for the scores...

[damiann77]

QUE .. ??? NO ENTIENDO NADA..solo se decir los numeros y algunas otras palabras como... well i think these sample answers are quite a scam... all of em have been answered by native eng speakers.. so they should have tried with real foreing students instead .... ... a verdad ke dijeron este wey no sabe ingles jaja

[Haasgen]

Was does she say in 7:37? What is this verb? "Remeness"???

[damiann77]

@Haasgen the word is reminisce means to remember or to collect memories from the past

[Haasgen]

@damiann77 Damiann! Thanks a lot! Reminisce... wow, I wouldn't have guessed.

[luvsulli1]

It is great. The only thing is that it's too hard for me. I mean for my age.

[elmagnifico23]

i could not understand what the man asking in practice 3 ? he speak with irregular accent i think.

[darchr90]

sorry but where's the topic sentence in the example with the restaurant? she begins by stating a reason ("parking")

[wrocky]

thanks to the author... you've been really a great help with my toefl review

[mohgdeisat]

Those are the best TOEFL training ever. I had only 10 days to practice for the whole TOEFL exam and I got 27 in the speaking section although I practiced only 3 days on the speaking section. Thank you so much.

My score is: Reading 26, Listening: 29, Speaking: 27, Writing: 24.

Total: 106

Thank you so much

[stellastella75]

How did you do that? Gongrats. I try to get 83 total and 26 in speaking to get my nursing licence. I have a realy hard time, even though, I thought I can speak engilsh. :(

[mohgdeisat]

I'll tell you something. Actually, you cannot dramatically enhance your skills in 10 days, however, they key is knowing question types and how to answer them. Regarding the Listening section, it is all about taking notes, if you can take good notes then you can answer almost all questions. Regarding the writing section, you have to practice on fast typing and fast thinking. Outline your essay before you write it. I didn't practice on TOEFL writing as I practised on GRE writing earlier.

[stellastella75]

Thank you for your tips. It helped me somehow :). Thak you again and good luck in the future.

[jgpilito]

It's imposible to talk like that on a conversation

[tam241]

in the 3rd sample, it seems to have some problems. The man at first states that he likes engineer but finally he says that engineer is not really perfect~.~!!

[edersao]

Thanks for share this material, I am going to take the test again, oh crap!!!!

[samarpan88]

Thanks a lot. I have my test on 1st nov.

[phanquockiet]

Haha. These people speaking in these samples are native English speakers. That is unfair!

[hukddo]

shit is easier than I thought. I hope I get dis kinds of questions on real test otherwise I'm fucked lol

[hj0219]

Thank u so much :)

[RossattoEdu]

thank you very much!!!!!!

[g0lly91]

I wish the questions were this easy in the real test..!

[Andy423166]

this one is easier than another one which is crazy hard

[septembrinol]

I was thinking that I couldn't answer this way in my mother tongue, either. This gave me an idea, maybe it could be helpful to other people. I will try to organize my ideas the way the ETS people expect me to, but replying in Spanish. I won't help me to practice my English but it surelly will improve the way I will be able to organize my answers in the future.

Good luck to all of us and thanks for the help!

[Zoffchen]

wow ye thats a good idea!

it almost drove me crazy because i thought i couldnt answer it in my native language either... but i never actually tried it. maybe itll help me =)

im so afraid of the speakinig section :S

[Nupurcute12]

cool..thanx

[nonodino]

The moment I had to overcome :)

[mapavignau]

hello!!Anybody can help me to understand the practice number 5??? I do not understand what the man says before overcome. Thanks.

[ouliogroove]

The question is:

Describe a moment or obstacle you had to overcome...

I hope this can help you. If it doesn't help you get back to me and I will try to help you more

[mapavignau]

Thank you so much!!! I am taking the exam next week and I am getting pretty nervous. Thanks again.

[ouliogroove]

I wish you the best of luck!

[monusac]

Hello ouliogroove. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP. YOU HELPED ME TO GET 104 IN TOEFL IBT.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN.

[nerintendo]

[esnous7]

Thanks god! I have the exam tomorrow and I was beginning to freak out. It is not possible for me to answer in that way even in my mother tongue!!

[Peppersystem]

Thanks a lot, this is helping me tons and it's making me more confident about the test. Keep the good job!

[robinmatch]

Awesome job. These videos are really helpful. Wish all of us luck tomorrow at the test

[margierose05]

[ramtinem]

Yes for example the memorable event in high school is 5 seconds.

[ramtinem]

I mean 55 seconds
