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.

University Should Invite a Business Leader as Graduation Speaker

I strongly believe that the university should invite a business leader to deliver the keynote address at this year’s graduation ceremony – perhaps a high-ranking executive from one of the prominent corporations in the area. Business leaders serve as excellent role models for students because they embody the essence of professional success. These individuals are influential, make critical decisions on a daily basis, and have earned impressive salaries through their hard work. Additionally, bringing a business executive to speak would further solidify our business program’s reputation as the largest and most prestigious in the state. This could attract prospective students who would see firsthand that our university offers a top-tier business education.
