TOEFL Speaking Task 2 Practice Test #23

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.

Let Students Use Laptops During Class

Even though many students own laptops, we’re still not allowed to use them during class, and I believe this rule should be changed. Most students can type faster than they can write by hand, which means using a laptop to take notes would be quicker and would help us stay more focused during lectures. On top of that, laptops allow us to access the Internet, so professors could have us look up helpful information or browse images and websites related to the lecture. This would deepen our understanding of the material and make the learning experience more engaging.

Sincerely,
