TOEFL Speaking question 6 part 1 (4 samples)

[LuanNegreiros]

This isn't an English test. This is a "how much information can you remember and repeat" test.

[akshara24]

The man/woman Who discovered TOEFL was himself/herself not knowing ENGLISH and that person was a MORON who din't study during his SCHOOL Tests , and is forcing INNOCENT people like us ...to waste this TOEFL- TESTS on his behalf .....what a fuk

:D :D

[mahuob]

who aver watched that video he mast be speaking another lang...^_^

[wikashvidjai]

People's who were just an amature at bsc level is doing msc. WHILE I as the best of the best student, can NOT do it, because of toefl. Damm it.

Students of the msc are coming to me, for msc problems!!!! STudents of TU DELFT NETHERLAND. I still I can solve it!!!!

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???????

[Galatheallllllll]

PLEASE IGNORE the sample answers, they are misleading. The sample questions are fine though, they are good practice.

[byoung58]

ok,,, how dense are people ? intentional and un intentional innovations.

why a lecture ? U don't get the idea just by being alive ? whew........

I'm scared.............

[monicabitencourt]

[xogdragonxo]

[vekiel]

Interesting, youtube doesn't let me post a personal opinion about american standardized test, just "cheetos", which is a trademark.

[vekiel]

cheetos

[xthededx]

This not help you in a real conversation!!!!

[odeza0123]

hi ouliogroove i took my exam few weeks ago and used your videos as my study materials and i nailed it! Your uploads helped me =) thank you so much! got 27 in speaking.

[newwarsovereign]

Fuck it, I've only got 102 marks this time with speaking 20.

I really suspect it's due to the failure of microphone to record some of my voices, as before that there had been several times of failures in testing of the microphone.

[mumumu0131]

[hackerbek]

[bbbbbb222222]

[RedzicMuharem]

[Harmlesssma]

HOlly shit i'm gonna screw my exam!!! Normally i speak english well but damn i just block out if it comes to toefl! this is not helping instead it makes me see already failing the test!

[thegirlintube]

My biggest problem in question #6 is paraphrasing. I always go blank when it comes to making up my own way of saying.

[iZoia]

God, how helpful is this!! Thanks Oulio.

[iZoia]

God, how helpful is this!!

[kunalhmehta]

[felnaris]

Fuck. Speaking seems a little hard.

guess getting a good English grade on IGCSE doesn't mean shit

[naso00or91]

thanks for all affect and cooprations but , if you do not mind you can put some esiuer

than caltiouer

[rambalajir]

The preparation time provided is 20 secs and Not 30 secs,I guess in this video it is mentioned as 30 secs . ..

[1564mauricio]

I understood everything but I cannot record the information in my mind in order to give a little review, it is very frustrating.

[a1z1az1azzzaa]

@1564mauricio i got the exactly the same Problem I feel like my mind is going to blow off in 2 seconds -

[thegirlintube]

@1564mauricio taking note would help a lot.

[Tania0o0]

I wonder who invented the TOEFL exm..he/she definitely had no life O_o

[Galatheallllllll]

@Tania0o0 But he/she sure has a lot of money now...

[wikashvidjai]

@Tania0o0 Indeed, that person was maybe a stupid nerd (fool). And think that everone should be like him/her...That person should better never come close to me...You will get a nightmare for you whole life...!!!

[MrHasun]

I Bet that even a fluent english speaker will also gonna have trouble listining to this cuz they are speaking soo frekkin fast ! I hope that we do well in exam...

[8888Eastman]

great video

[danielitaiyta]

Good videos...But if in the real test. if the Toefl evaluators are expecting the student to speak with the same fluently of the sample speak, they are wasting time. In this sample the student have a perfect peaking performance like a native English speaker who does not need to take the Toefl test. I think that examples should be more realistic as the examples of the Toefl CD. ( comes with the book) Remember that this test is taken by students of many different countries.

Thanks

[thegirlintube]

@danielitaiyta I think the sample answers were perfect. They show us the proper way to answer the question to get a high score. I understand what you mean though. They're not very encouraging for us who don't speak English proficiently, and they're quite unrealistic to be that perfect answers.

[danielitaiyta]

@thegirlintube Exactly, and I couldn't help to feel a little frustrated when I compared my answer with video's sample, I really think this test was created not only to prove the English proficiency of foreign students, but also to take a huge amount of money from every single student, it must be a really good business for them!!!

[wikashvidjai]

@danielitaiyta

I USED TO BE THE BEST in the university (BSC). But because of this stupid toefl, I can NOT do my MSC since 2 years!!! Maybe because I never liked reading..It's th emost boring thing ever.

Now I dont have that spirit and passion again to do my msc, after watching 2years passing by doing nothing, then toefl.

In other word, I took the exam couple of times in these 2 years.

[danielitaiyta]

@wikashvidjai I totally understand your point, we all know this means a huge business, they don't have ethic at all, I was so frustrate when at after many times, I failed my test for 3 points on the speaking part, when I called to the TOEFL, they told me they could rescore for a extra fee of $70 and maybe I'll get the score that I need. So does it means, that the TOEFL evaluators are a bunch of liers? all they want is make a huge profit using the future of many foreign students

[sheila20102]

ouliogrove, how can I improve my score.? I need 26..I've taken this exam several times and I get only 24,23,22 in speaking, I kept practicing, recording my voice and meeting one on one volunteer tutors.I work in a customer service retail store and I speak English all the time.. Please help! Thanks.

[888gabriela1]

@mynikks:Can I ask some tips also, I took iBT 3x already but my speaking part always gets score of 22.. I am bit disappointed with the result but I really need to get 26 in any means..Thanks! hope you can help me

[MyNikks]

@The Saw124

Well its actually not tough if you are good at english with friends and others. If you are not very good try to first get command over english. I watched lot of good english programs on english channels. I learnt a lot from them But language was never my problem so was easy for me. Practise as many topics as possible.you can get many topics from internet.Try to record ur response while u practice n compare with ideal responses on youtube. also buy ETS TOEFL official guide. Good Luck

[TheSaw124]

@MyNikks.will follow ur advice thank u...God bless utk.c

[PowerBosnia]

Thanks a lot man!

[MyNikks]

Hey ouligroove,

got my TOEFL rsult today...

i prepared with help of ur video n scored 26 in speaking..

[TheImu77]

@MyNikks please guide me for the speaking ,, during my practice I am getting less around 20,, my other sections are ok.. near about 23 or 25 .. please guide me for the speaking...

[MyNikks]

peak ur response n record it in a video recorder or cell phone. then compare ur response with the sample response in video.

it's all about practice. you dont have to be complicated in answering. keep it simple and talk as if you are talking to a new friend. so you are little formal.

Thats IT!

[TheSaw124]

@MyNikks please guide me for the speaking section.. my other section are good..i need to get 26 in speaking.

[TheImu77]

I m sooooooooo relieved!!!

[samimaryan]

Is this an English test or a science test? why can't we test them on language here? Take a subject like shopping, travelling, technology, economy, job market, education, sports... endless...

[peligraso]

TOEFL is Test Of English as a Foreign Language. So native speakers do not have to take this test. If native speaker wants to be a TOEFL teacher, then they have to take TESOL test.

[ROMEOTHEBOY]

Do native English speakers have to do this test?

[kellouuu]

@ROMEOTHEBOY as a Foreign !!!

[ROMEOTHEBOY]

Do native English speakers have to do this test?

[ROMEOTHEBOY]

Do native English speakers have to do this test?

[jalen2803]

bacchamae: In my opinion the IELTS exam is much better in all the sections. It should be used other than the TOEFL.

[jalen2803]

Finalio: All THAT you have to do is TAKE notes. Although your advice is good I doubt that you are well sufficiently well versed. Thank you though. You should think of practicing yourself

[finalio]

Infact, i think this one is the easiest. All what you have to do is : TAKING NOTES !!

[nincho19]

I agree with you... it is easy to understasnd.

[ninushik]

@finalio AND organize your answer in 30 seconds!! :-s and THEN present it in a good convincing way...

[BFinesilver]

Jesus, the person who is responsible for TOEFL should be shot. A truly horid way to test English.

[anetteam1]

haha i dont know how to take notes in order to have a good speaking.

[bacchamae]

Oh man, the speaking part was the worst for me. I had a very bad cold during the test and was blowing my nose every 10 seconds (lol).

[mirimagicful]

hey ouliogroove these stuff are amazing ..it really helped me alot.. i was distracted and i couldn't find an exact source to guide me but your stuff are really accurate... i got total 115 and 28 in speaking..thanks again

[M7madbeeh]

[aymannamya1985]

[Xiahdancerz]

thank you very much for sharing this video

[sebaschpine]

I´d like to speak as fast and easy as those speakers from this video, but I´m afraid I have to reborn again: they are native Englisgh speaker...

[Lauradanielca]

You can also type "i-courses" and will find a great way to practice all TOEFL skills online.

[Lauradanielca]

Very good

[prigatdevisine]

It is so frustrating to know that I speak english a lot better in real life than I speak it when responding to these toefl questions :( 6 days until the test day..., I hope I nail it

[danielitaiyta]

@prigatdevisine I have the same feeling. My Toefl test is starting to become a challenge for me. My test will be tomorrow!!

[Enkrni]

the same as me........

[transferrin2009]

thanks for sharing!

[djalskees]

fuck this

too much

[priyakoko]

ssssoooo  hard!!!!!!!

[vandante666]

Man all those videos are wonderful, but would you mind to upload all the pdf to rapidshare or megaupload or mediafire. etc?. because I can't download anyone from the link you have post.... thanks a lot!

[ouliogroove]

Hi there, I have been told that the PDF link sin't working, but I will tell you how to find it on google. Just type "TOEFL speaking rubrics" and choose the first link on top. If you have PDF, you should be able to see it. if not, let me know and I will use your suggestion to get them to you.

[Hieu9008]

To those who score high, please grade the scripts of my response to see how many points I'll probably get. Thanks so much

"In this lecture, the professor talks about innovation, a technique that can enhance the qualities of something. He describes two types of innovation.

+ The first type is intentional innovation. The professor gives the example of the glasses that Benjamin Franklin invented to illustrate this.

+ The second one is accidental innovation. The professor cites ice-cream soda...

[bushmusharraf]

Heiu , it is impossible to tell exactly how much points yu will be able to score by reading ur response.

If u want actual evaluation , then post a video or audioResponse here, so that , we can judge ur accent as well as eloquency (clear ness) , pronunciation and enunciation.

All these things are critical in finally analyzing your score.

[bushmusharraf]

Incae u were inquring if ur notes taking was credible , then I beleive that u wrote too much of content .

In my case i wud have written only half of the material what u wrote .

[asadkhan1953]

TOEFL only helps you" how to lie"nothing else then that.stupid ETS.15 secs r given to answer the question more bluffly

[jordanie123]

thanks so much for these helpful videos. I took the exam and got 97 which-i think- is very good.

[bushmusharraf]

I dont think 97 is a good score...

which Schools are u applying ?

In canadian schools I dont see any school demanding less than 150 .

[xiaoyao528]

Isn't it a 120 full points test?~ I mean the IBT

[bushmusharraf]

If u got confused by my previous comment then excuse me pls casue i thought they were discussing CBT toefl

[jfcuella]

Thank you very much!! Your material was very helpful!! I got 110 in IBT.
