Task 1
The question:
Some people believe that university education should be free for everyone. Do you agree or disagree?
My Answer transcript:
I would say I disagree that University education should be free for everyone. I think everyone should pay the tuition fee and the monthly fee of University but for some student it should be facilitated by the campus of scholarship. it's because I think that everyone has a good economical status for the ones who has poor economical or so unlucky it should be can be facilitated by the campus and for instance I have my friends that's really good in academic but she never have good money on his pocket
Please do Assessment to my speaking TOEFL IBT Practice, based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 10 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development):
Certainly, I can provide an assessment based on the TOEFL iBT speaking rubrics, focusing on Delivery, Language Use, and Topic Development. The rubrics generally gauge pronunciation, intonation, pacing, grammatical accuracy, vocabulary, coherence, and completeness of argument.
Delivery: 6/10
Your speech seems generally clear but contains some issues that could affect comprehensibility. For example, the pacing is mostly even but could improve. There are no indications of major issues with pronunciation or intonation, but since this is a text-based format, it's hard to fully assess those areas.
Language Use: 4/10
There are several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings throughout your response. For example, "everyone has a good economical status for the ones who has poor economical or so unlucky it should be can be facilitated by the campus" is a confusing sentence that could be clearer. Additionally, there are inconsistencies like "University" being capitalized in one instance and not in others. Moreover, the term "economical status" could be more accurately referred to as "economic status." Vocabulary is somewhat limited and could be expanded to make the argument more compelling.
Topic Development: 5/10
Your answer does address the question and takes a stance, but it could be better organized and more fully developed. For example, you could offer a specific example to back up your claim about your friend who is academically strong but financially weak. The point about scholarships facilitating those with less economic means could be expanded upon. Also, a clearer introduction and conclusion would help structure the argument more effectively.
Overall, your speaking response shows a basic understanding of the task, but there are areas for improvement in clarity, grammatical accuracy, and argument development.

Task 2
Reading Passage:
"Attention all students, we are pleased to announce a new policy that will take effect starting next semester. In our effort to adapt to the technological advancements of the 21st century, all students will be required to enroll in at least one online course each semester. This initiative is part of our broader plan to make education more accessible and to prepare students for the digital age. We believe that online courses offer flexibility and a different set of skills than traditional classroom settings. Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to an exciting new phase of education."
Listening Passage:
Student 1: Hey, did you see that email about the new online course requirement?
Student 2: Yeah, I did. I'm not sure how to feel about it.
Student 1: What do you mean? I think it's a great idea! Online courses offer so much flexibility. You can do the coursework whenever you want.
Student 2: True, but not everyone is good at managing their time. Some people, like me, actually benefit from the structure of a physical classroom.
Student 1: That's a valid point. But think about it—online courses could help us develop time-management skills.
Student 2: Maybe. But what about lab courses or hands-on subjects? They can't be effectively taught online.
Student 1: You have a point there. But overall, I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
The question:
"Summarize the points made in the conversation, particularly how the two students feel about the new policy of requiring students to take at least one online course each semester."
My Answer transcript:
The campus has a plan to implement mandatory one online course for semester for every student in order to keep up with the technology and give more flexibility for students. according to the conversation the student one seems really happy about this announcement, in the other hand the student two not really sure that this plan will be beneficial for her because she has a problem with time management. Furthermore the student want convince the student two, by doing this online course it should be the student to learn how to manage the time. and they conclude that this plan should be has more benefits than drawbacks
Please do Assessment to my speaking TOEFL IBT Practice, based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 10 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development):
Certainly, I'll evaluate your TOEFL iBT speaking practice for Task 2 based on the typical rubrics of Delivery, Language Use, and Topic Development.
Delivery: 5/10
The written response generally conveys the idea, but some awkward phrasing could affect comprehensibility if spoken aloud. Since I can't hear your pronunciation, intonation, and pacing, it's hard to give a comprehensive assessment of the delivery. The text-based format limits the ability to evaluate this fully.
Language Use: 4/10
The response contains several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings, such as "in the other hand" instead of "on the other hand," and "the student want convince the student two," which could be clearer. The issues with language use could hinder the listener's understanding of your points. Vocabulary is somewhat limited, which detracts from the overall depth of the response.
Topic Development: 5/10
Your answer does capture the general gist of the conversation between the two students and summarizes their differing viewpoints. However, the argument could be more coherent. For example, the phrase "Furthermore the student want convince the student two" could be clearer and more explicit about which student is trying to convince whom and about what. The sentence "and they conclude that this plan should be has more benefits than drawbacks" is also unclear. A more organized approach, summarizing each student's opinion and their overall conclusion, would improve this section.
Overall, your response addresses the task but has several areas for improvement, particularly in language use and topic development.
=============
Task 3
Reading Passage:
Supply and demand are fundamental concepts in economics that describe the relationship between the availability of a particular good and the desire for that good within a market. The law of demand states that, all else being equal, as the price of a good increases, the quantity demanded decreases. Conversely, the law of supply suggests that as the price increases, the quantity suppliers are willing to produce and sell increases. These two forces interact to establish the market price. However, there are various factors, such as changes in consumer preferences or production costs, that can shift these curves, thereby affecting market equilibrium.
Listening Passage:
Professor: "Alright, class. We've discussed the basics of supply and demand, but what happens when the curves shift? Let's say, for instance, a technological breakthrough occurs, making it cheaper to produce smartphones. In this case, the supply curve would shift to the right, indicating an increase in supply. With more phones available at a lower price, we would likely see an intersection with the demand curve at a new, lower price level. On the flip side, if a new health report reveals that a popular food item has health risks, the demand for that product would decrease, shifting the demand curve to the left. Such shifts create new market equilibriums and can have wide-ranging economic implications."
The question:
How does the professor explain the factors that can shift the supply and demand curves, and what are the consequences of these shifts?
My Answer transcript:
The professor from the lecturer explain the supply and demand curve by giving examples. according to him that the law of demand he mentioned about for instance the technology has found how to make cheaper smartphone since the supply will be abundant and the price will be low so the demand curve should be shift to the right. on the other hand the professor mentioned about food that if one particular food giving higher price the demand should be lower and and the supply curve should be a shift to the left. dish shifting is really common on economy and it will be caused an equilibrium
Please do Assessment to my speaking TOEFL IBT Practice, based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 10 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development):
Certainly, I'll evaluate your TOEFL iBT speaking practice for Task 3 based on the standard rubrics of Delivery, Language Use, and Topic Development.
Delivery: 5/10
Given that this is a text-based format, it's hard to fully assess elements like pronunciation, intonation, and pacing. However, your written response does indicate a level of awkward phrasing that could potentially affect spoken delivery.
Language Use: 4/10
Your answer contains several grammatical mistakes and awkward sentence structures, such as "the professor from the lecturer explain," which makes the message less clear. There is a mix-up in the explanation of the shifts in supply and demand curves, and there are some confusing sentences like "dish shifting is really common on economy." These language issues could affect listener comprehension. Vocabulary is somewhat basic and could benefit from more specific and accurate economic terms.
Topic Development: 5/10
Your response generally captures the ideas from both the reading and listening passages, but there are some inaccuracies and omissions. For example, the professor didn't mention that a higher price for food would lower demand; rather, the professor mentioned a health report affecting demand. The answer would be more effective if these details were accurate and clearly articulated. Your explanation about new market equilibriums is vague ("it will be caused an equilibrium") and could be improved for clarity and detail.
Overall, your response needs improvements in all three areas, but particularly in language use and topic development for clearer communication of ideas.
=============
Task 4
Listening Passage:
Lecturer: Good afternoon, everyone. Today we're going to dive deep into a crucial chapter of American history—The Civil Rights Movement. This movement spanned approximately from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s and sought to end racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans.
The first key strategy of the movement was nonviolent protest. This was largely influenced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was himself inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence. Methods included sit-ins, where African Americans would peacefully occupy segregated spaces; bus boycotts, most famously the Montgomery Bus Boycott that lasted for 381 days; and marches, like the Selma to Montgomery marches, which sought to highlight issues related to voting rights. These nonviolent strategies aimed to showcase the injustices African Americans faced, drawing both national and international attention to their plight.
A second strategy was through legal avenues. Organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP, fought against racial discrimination through the court system. A landmark case in this regard was Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, which resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court declaring state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This set a precedent for further legal victories against segregation.
The third strategy was a more confrontational approach, epitomized by groups like the Black Panthers. Founded in 1966, the Black Panthers believed in self-defense and even advocated for the use of force if necessary to protect African American communities. They also focused on community-based programs, including free breakfast initiatives for children, to directly support black communities. While this approach was often criticized for being too aggressive, it played a vital role in empowering marginalized communities and bringing attention to systemic issues.
So, to sum up, the Civil Rights Movement was multi-faceted and employed a range of strategies—from nonviolent protests and legal action to more confrontational methods. All these converged to effect pivotal changes, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in voting.
The question:
What are the key strategies used in the civil rights movement according to the lecturer?
My Answer transcript:
The lecture is talking about American Civil Rights about coloring people that happen on 1950s to 1960s. the movement has three kind of type the first one is about non-violent protests that initiatives by Martin Luther King Jr this Initiative for instance a bus boycott for 350 days and marches for voting for by black people. the second initiative is about like legal movement that helped by NWACP organization they suing government about human rights of colored people. and last initiative is more confrontal they built black panther community this Community Serve for black people and color people such as giving free breakfast for kids

Certainly, I'll evaluate your TOEFL iBT speaking practice for this task based on the rubrics of Delivery, Language Use, and Topic Development.
Delivery: 6/10
Given that this is a text-based format, elements such as pronunciation, intonation, and pacing are not directly observable. However, the structure and phrasing of your written text suggest that you have a reasonable understanding of the content, but the awkward sentence structure could potentially affect the clarity of your spoken delivery.
Language Use: 4/10
Your response contains several grammatical errors and unclear phrasing that could affect comprehensibility. For example, "American Civil Rights about coloring people" is not a standard way to refer to the Civil Rights Movement or the African American population. Additionally, "the movement has three kind of type" is unclear and grammatically incorrect. The acronym for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is also incorrectly written as "NWACP" instead of "NAACP." Overall, the choice of vocabulary and the structure of sentences could be improved for better clarity.
Topic Development: 7/10
You do a reasonably good job of covering the key points from the lecture. You identify the three main strategies of the Civil Rights Movement: non-violent protests, legal action, and a more confrontational approach. However, there are some inaccuracies and omissions that hinder full understanding. For instance, the Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted for 381 days, not 350 days as you mentioned. Moreover, the specific examples given in the lecture, like the Brown vs. Board of Education case and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, are not referenced in your response.
Overall, your response generally addresses the question and captures the broad strokes of the lecture. However, improvements in language use and more accurate and detailed topic development could elevate your score.
