In this post, you\u2019ll have a chance to practice your response to an integrated speaking task\u2014specifically, this is an example of task number two. This question is taken from the six practice tests in Magoosh TOEFL<\/a>, only it is in a slightly different format because this is only a blog post. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

In the second and third speaking tasks, you both read and listen before you speak. The reading is always first; you’ll get 45 seconds to read the text. <\/p>\n

Read<\/h1>\n

So first, let’s do just that! Give yourself no more than 45 seconds to read the text below. Google is always helpful for that.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/p>\n

Listen<\/h2>\n

When you’re finished reading, it’s time to listen to a conversation between two students. They’re going to talk about the text you just read.<\/p>\n

You can take notes while you listen, so definitely get a piece of paper. They’ll be a huge help when you try to answer the question, later.<\/p>\n

Listen to the conversation here<\/a><\/p>\n

Speak<\/h1>\n

And finally, since this is a speaking<\/em> question, you need to answer a question! Keep in mind that you will need to answer in a time limit. <\/p>\n

Also, you will want to record your answer, so go to online-voice-recorder.com<\/a> and get ready to answer.<\/p>\n

Here’s the question:<\/p>\n

The female student expresses her opinion about why she disagrees with the university\u2019s new policy. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And your time limits:<\/p>\n

Prepare: 30 seconds<\/a>
\nSpeak: 60 seconds<\/a><\/p>\n

After you answer, save your response. Every response you give when preparing for the TOEFL should be saved. That way, you can return to it later and learn from your mistakes. Think about what could be better, and try the same task a second, third, or even fourth time to get it just right. The better you understand the structure of integrated TOEFL speaking tasks, the better you will answer. <\/p>\n

PS. In you’re not sure how to structure your response, here’s a template<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The TOEFL was updated in August of 2019, and Tasks 1 and 5 are no longer included on the exam. The remaining tasks have been renumbered this way:<\/p>\n

Task 1<\/del>
\nTask 2 >>>> Task 1
\nTask 3 >>>> Task 2
\nTask 4 >>>> Task 3
\nTask 5<\/del>
\nTask 6 >>>> Task 4<\/p>\n

You can read more about these changes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
