TOEFL Speaking Task 2 Practice Test #10
Instructions
You will read a short passage and listen to a conversation on the same topic. You will then be asked a question about them. After you hear the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.
The question for TOEFL Speaking Task 2 is almost always the same: The woman (or man) expresses her opinion about the proposal described in the letter. Briefly summarize the proposal, then state her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. This format stays consistent across tests.
Reading Passage
Improving Textbook Accessibility for Students
At the beginning of every semester, students must wait until classes begin to find out which textbooks they will need. Since many students already register for their classes in advance, it would be incredibly helpful if the list of required textbooks were available at the time of registration. This would not only give students the opportunity to shop around for more affordable textbooks but also allow them to start reading in advance, making it easier to stay on top of their coursework.
Sincerely,
Alexandra Norris
Listening
Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
Man: Hey, did you see Alexandra’s letter?
Woman: Yeah, what do you think?
Man: Well, it’s great. She really makes some good points, like the thing with the university bookstore is, if you buy a brand new textbook, it can be pretty expensive, and they usually have only a few used textbooks around. They are cheaper, of course, but they sell out quickly.
Woman: That’s true.
Man: So this would give students time to look around on their own. You know, maybe they could find the books they need online, get books a few months ahead of time using the Internet.
Woman: I agree.
Man: So this way, students might be able to save a little money.
Woman: Right. So what do you think about her second point about the reading assignments?
Man: I agree with that too. It just makes a lot of sense, because things get really busy when the semester first starts, and it can be hard to find time to keep up with all of the assignments. But students usually have some free time right before the start of the semester.
Woman: So we’d have a good opportunity to do some preparation.
Man: Exactly.
