TOEFL SPEAKING question 2 (9 samples)

This video is proposing 9 practice tasks for the SECOND question in the speaking section of the TOEFL IBT. You will also find sample responses for each of the tasks. These were included with the original CD. If anything, these samples can teach you the format of a good response. But don't let yourself be discouraged by the quality of their language and content. You will only have 15 seconds to prepare and I'm sure these guys took hours to write those samples... So the judges don't expect this kind of quality. But what they do expect is the level of organization they display. So when preparing your response, make sure you respect the following pattern

1: A Clear Topic Statement
2: 2 reasons to hold your opinion
3: Details and examples for each of your reasons.
4: A concise concluding statement... (example: those are the reasons I believe... kind of thing)

With that in mind, you should be able to get a good score for this question. That is if your grammar and vocabulary are appropriate... of course.

@SmobblBobbl Would you prefer to select a roommate or let University assign a roommate to you?

But I got it only after listening the answer :)

@Honeyrandom OMG!

[andrehpinto]

@TheAttachedMom, I got all different ones... but yes, don't be afraid of lying and saying anything just to fulfill the speaking time!

[TheAttachedMom]

@andrehpinto lying is what I gotta do, I think, ))

So, did you get any of those sample topics or you got another ones?

[SmobblBobbl]

[SmobblBobbl]

i am used to hear different accents, but for some reason, I even do not understand question 7!

[andrehpinto]

@pklinh97 Keep practicing! I'm writing from U.S right now! It worths every minute I spent studying!

And remember, you don't need to have this perfect accent they do in this video. And feel free to lie in your answers! Just come-up with anything! hahha

@andrehpinto Congratulations! I wish I could be as good as you :)
