Topic Development (2/4):
The speaker attempts to support the statement about the importance of studying math and science with personal examples. However, the argument could be more coherent and persuasive. The development of ideas lacks depth and breadth as the speaker focuses on job availability without considering other potential benefits of studying math and science, or acknowledging the merits of art and literature. The speaker is advised to further develop their points and provide more well-rounded, nuanced arguments.

Narrator
Now listen to two students discussing the article.
Female student
Did you see that article?
Male student
Yeah—and it sounds like a great idea. It’s really good for the students in that program.
Female student
Don’t they cook in class anyway?
Male student
Well, yeah, they do . . . but my cousin was in the program a few years ago, and she said that it’s very different to cook for a lot of people in that kind of atmosphere than to cook for classmates.
Female student
Why is that?
Male student
Well, in class you can take your time. But, cooking for more people, there’s more pressure—I mean, you’re in a rush, people are waiting . . . and it might be easy to make a mistake with all that stress . . .
Female student
Then they’ll think you’re a bad chef, right?
Male student
Absolutely!
Female student
So, OK, it’s good practice. But what about the extra cost?
Male student
Well, look at it this way. You’ve eaten at some of the fancier restaurants in town, right?

Male student
Well, these students . . . they’ll be making fantastic meals. And it’s gonna be cheaper than going out to one of those restaurants.

Read the passage about target marketing. You will have 45 seconds to read the passage. Begin reading now.
Reading Passage:
Target Marketing
Advertisers in the past have used radio and television in an attempt to provide information about their products to large, general audiences; it was once
thought that the best way to sell a product was to advertise it to as many people
as possible. However, more recent trends in advertising have turned toward
target marketing. Target marketing is the strategy of advertising to smaller, very
specific audiences—audiences that have been determined to have the greatest
need or desire for the product being marketed. Target marketing has proved to
be very effective in reaching potential customers

Nowadays, something you notice more and more is television commercials that are made specifically for certain television programs. So, let’s say a company wants to sell a telephone . . . a cell phone. Now, during TV shows that young people watch— you know, shows with pop music or teen serials—they create a commercial that emphasizes how fun the phone is. You know, the phone has bright colors, and they show kids having a good time with their friends. And, well, the company wants the kids watching TV at this time to want to buy this phone—this phone that’s made especially for them. But, the same company will make a different commercial to be shown during, say, a program about business or a business news show. Now, for this group of people, businesspeople, the company will have to show how efficient their phone is, how it can handle all business easily and maybe even save money. And here’s the thing—it’s basically the same phone; the company has just made two different commercials to appeal to different groups of people.

Now listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.
Professor
Why do we do the things we do? What drives us to participate in certain activities . . . to buy a certain car . . . or even to choose a certain career? In other words, what motivates us to do what we do?
Well, in studies of motivation, psychologists distinguish between two very different types. Our reasons for doing something, our motivations, can be extrinsic—in other words, based on some kind of external reward like praise or money . . . or they can be intrinsic . . . meaning we engage in the activity because it pleases us internally. Both create strong forces that lead us to behave in certain ways; however, intrinsic motivation is generally considered to be more long-lasting than the other.
As I said, extrinsic motivation is . . . external. It’s the desire to behave in a certain way in order to obtain some kind of external reward. A child, for example, who regularly does small jobs around the house does them not because she enjoys taking out the garbage or doing the dishes but because she knows if she does these things, she’ll be given a small amount of money for doing them. But how motivated would the child be to continue doing the work if her parents suddenly stopped giving her money for it?
With intrinsic, or internal, motivation we want to do something because we enjoy it, or get a sense of accomplishment from it. Most people who are internally motivated get pleasure from the activity . . . so they just feel good about doing it. For example, I go to the gym several times a week. I don’t go because I’m training for a marathon or anything. I just enjoy it. I have more energy after I exercise and I know it’s good for my health so it makes me feel good about myself. And that’s what’s kept me going there for the past five years.
Narrator
Using points and examples from the talk, explain the two types of motivation.
My speaking transcript:
According to the Professor there are two motivations theory the first one is external reward and the second one is intrinsic motivation. the professor gives one example about child that doing house job such as throwing garbage outside the house and if the child do it for joy it can be lasting longer and if the child doing it for just to get money from their parents it will be not doing it again if the parents not around. moreover the professor give some personal example, he going to the gym for the past 5 years because he enjoyed it and give him energy and feeling good everyday so he kept doing it to the gym
ChatGPT Assessment, based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 4 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development):
Delivery (3/4):
The speaker's delivery is generally clear, with only minor hesitations and pauses. The speech is easy to follow and understand. However, the natural rhythm and intonation could be improved to make the delivery more engaging.
Language Use (2.5/4):
The speaker uses a range of vocabulary and some complex sentences, but there are several grammar and word choice errors. For instance, "there are two motivations theory" should be "there are two theories of motivation," and "it will be not doing it again if the parents not around" is not grammatically correct. More accuracy in language use would enhance the speaker's performance.
Topic Development (3.5/4):
The speaker does a good job summarizing the two types of motivation and providing specific examples from the lecture. The response could be enhanced by more clearly delineating the concepts of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and how they differ. However, the overall response is organized, maintains focus on the topic, and effectively communicates the main points from the lecture.
