    TOEFL Speaking Comprehension

    Task 1
    Preparation: 15 sec
    Pesponse: 45 sec
    Дается вопрос/тема для обсуждения, спрашивается ваше мнение о нем. Вы должны ясно сформулировать свое
    мнение и предоставить 2 причины, почему оно именно такое (в критериях оценивания не указано 2, но это
    очень желательно). Важно составлять сложные предложения, использовать transition words, обязательно приве-
    сти пример, наглядно поддерживающий вашу точку зрения.

    Example:
    TASK. There are many different approaches to academic studies, and all of them have specific benefits. Do you prefer
    to study for tests in a group, or to study alone? Include details and examples to support your explanation.

    ANSWER. I prefer studying for my tests all by myself. I feel this way for two reasons.
    First of all, I can focus entirely on what I need to learn. When we study in a group everyone has different weak spots,
    and they all deserve to be touched on, even if some members of the group are really strong in those areas. In contrast,
    when we work alone we can focus entirely on our own weak spots and therefore get the best possible test score.
    Secondly, I’m easily distracted which can have disastrous effects when I study in a group. For instance, last year I was
    preparing for a midterm exam with a bunch of classmates but we ended up chatting a lot about music and sports instead
    of studying. And, therefore, my test score was quite bad.

    Task 2
    Preparation: 30 sec
    Response: 60 sec
    Вам дается текст в виде достаточно краткого объявления/ письма/ статьи, а затем звучит диалог, в котором один
    из собеседников высказывает свою точку зрения относительно содержания письма. Вы должны briefly summarize
    то, что прочитали и услышали, при этом указав главные аргументы спикера из диалога.

    Text in the task (example): University to offer free Spanish courses this trimester. Due to an influx of exchange students
    from Spain and Latin America, starting this trimester the university will be offering free Spanish language tuition for
    interested parties. Participation in these courses is limited, however, and preference will be given to those students
    taking part in activities directly related to the exchange program. Go to the university website for further details.
    Answer (template):
    • According to the announcement/letter/article/... .

    • This is because [в объявлении указана причина изменений, здесь говорим про нее].

    • The man/woman/speaker opposes/supports/has a mixed opinion of/... this.

    • To begin with, she/he points out that... .

    • Moreover, she/he argues that ... . On top of that, ... .

    Task 3
    Preparation: 30 sec
    Response: 60 sec
    Вам дается текст на какую-то относительно научную тему (обычно это краткое описание какого-то термина из
    биологии, экономики, химии, астрономии, физики), после чего звучит лекция на 40 - 50 секунд, где профессор
    озвучивает некоторые примеры, связанные с этим термином. Вам нужно кратко дать определение термина и
    пересказать примеры, озвученные профессором.

    Task 4
    Preparation: 20 sec
    Response: 60 sec

    Слушаем лекцию 40 - 50 секунд и пересказываем ее, вставляя фразы наподобие "the lecturer says...". Стараемся
    не зацикливаться на деталях, проходимся по главным мыслям. Главное - передать основной посыл.
