TOEFL Speaking Task 2 Practice Test #26
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
Suggestions to Improve the Bike Loan Program
The university’s bicycle borrowing system at the gym is a great initiative, but a couple of adjustments could make it even more convenient. First, the borrowing time should be limited to a maximum of four hours to ensure that more bikes are available throughout the day when students need them. Also, instead of requiring a cash deposit, the program should allow students to leave their student ID cards as collateral. That way, students wouldn’t need to worry about carrying cash just to use a bike.
Sincerely,
Valerie Nunez
Listening
Narrator: Now listen to two students discussing the letter.
Woman: Hey, did you read that letter? What do you think?
Man: Yeah, I read it. I understand what she’s saying, but I really don’t agree with their suggestions.
Woman: How come?
Man: Well, students often need to borrow the bikes for longer periods of time, sometimes a whole day.
Woman: What for?
Man: Well, like to do stuff off campus, for instance, my friends and I on the weekends, sometimes we like to ride bikes to the state park outside of town and do some hiking there. And it basically takes the whole day. It’s night time by the time we get back.
Woman: So if you had less time, you wouldn’t be able to do that.
Man: Right. And also her other suggestion doesn’t seem practical to me.
Woman: The card thing?
Man: Yeah, that’s not going to work. What if you wanna enter a campus building? Even though you can get into most of the classroom buildings without a card, there are certain buildings on campus where you need to show your card to get in, like the library and dining hall.
Woman: Yeah, that’s true. So students wouldn’t be able to go to any of those places till they got their cards back.
