TOEFL Speaking Task 2 Practice Test #12

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.

Making Professor Evaluations Public

The university currently requires students to complete written evaluations for their professors at the end of each course. However, the current system is private, as only professors read these evaluations after submission. I propose that the university publish these evaluations online for everyone to see. By doing so, both professors and students would benefit. Professors would be encouraged to enhance their teaching if they knew their course evaluations were publicly available. In addition, prospective students could read the evaluations and make more informed decisions about which classes to take.

Sincerely,
