Task 2
Reading Passage:
The University Library is adjusting its operating hours beginning next week. This change will extend weekday hours until midnight, with the library closing at 10:00 pm on weekends. This new schedule is in response to student requests for extended study time, particularly during the examination periods. Additionally, quiet study rooms will now be open 24/7 for those who require a focused environment. The library staff encourages feedback on these changes to further align with students' needs. For more information, please visit the library's website or contact the information desk directly
Listening Passage:
Student A: "Hey, did you hear about the new library hours?"
Student B: "Yeah, I just saw the announcement. I think it's great that they're extending the hours. It's going to be really helpful during exams."
Student A: "True, but I wonder if they have enough staff to cover the extra hours. And what about the security in the quiet study rooms if they're open 24/7?"
Student B: "Good points. Maybe they have considered that, and they will have some security measures in place. They probably had to hire more staff too."
Student A: "I hope so. I also worry about the noise level. If more people are using the library late at night, it might become too noisy to study."
Student B: "Well, they mentioned the quiet study rooms being open 24/7. Maybe that will help. But you're right; they need to manage the noise in the main areas."
Student A: "I think I'll send them feedback on that. These changes are good in theory, but they need to make sure everything is well-managed."
Student B: "Absolutely. It's clear they're trying to accommodate students' needs, and I think with some fine-tuning, it could be a great improvement for everyone. I'll join you in sending feedback."
Student A: "Sounds like a plan. Let's make sure our voices are heard."
The question:
"What are the main points and concerns discussed by the two students regarding the new library hours, and how do they feel about the changes? What actions do they propose to address their concerns?"
My Answer:
The library has a plan to adjust their operating hours to extend until 10:00 p.m. for the main area and will be 24/7 availability of quiet room. Furthermore the conversation from two students it can infer that they have two following concerns. the first one is about security and staffs the students suggest University supposed to be give more staff and security. and secondly about the noise level on the main area the student has a suggestion it should be manageable properly. lastly the students will give a feedback into the library office regarding their suggestion
please do assessment follow these criteria:
- based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 10 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development)
- since it is a transcript, please ignore punctuation symbols errors
- please consider in actual setting that I only have 45~60s to response
Delivery: 7/10
Your delivery is clear and mostly coherent. You have covered the main aspects of the discussion, including the main points and concerns, and actions proposed by the students. However, there are some minor inaccuracies and omissions, such as failing to mention the weekday hours extending until midnight and the weekend hours being until 10:00 p.m. Since this is a written response, other aspects of spoken delivery, such as intonation and pacing, can't be assessed.
Language Use: 6/10
The language use is mostly understandable, with some clear control of grammar and vocabulary. However, there are noticeable grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that may impede understanding. For example, "it can infer" would be better as "it can be inferred," and "supposed to be give more staff and security" could be revised to "the University should provide more staff and security." Also, some sentences could be clearer to provide a more logical connection between ideas.
Topic Development: 7/10
The response effectively addresses the main points and concerns of the students and the actions they propose. You identified the essential elements of the changes to the library hours and students' concerns about staffing, security, and noise. However, there is a lack of specific details, such as acknowledging the positive aspects that the students found regarding the changes. The response could have also been enriched by reflecting the positive attitude of the students towards the changes while also expressing their concerns.
Overall, the answer is fairly strong, capturing the main points of the conversation but missing some finer details and suffering from some language issues. In a spoken setting, addressing these areas within the given time frame would lead to a more cohesive and comprehensive response.

Task 3
Reading Passage:
Cultural anthropology is the scientific study of cultural aspects of human societies. It examines cultural norms, beliefs, practices, and social structures to understand how humans interact within their communities. Cultural anthropologists often engage in fieldwork, immersing themselves in different cultures to gather detailed insights. Their findings contribute to various fields such as sociology, psychology, and economics. Understanding cultural anthropology helps in recognizing the diversity of human experiences, fostering empathy, and offering solutions to global challenges like poverty, inequality, and discrimination.
Listening Passage:
Cultural anthropology extends far beyond the examination of traditions or customs. It looks deeply into the underlying values, perceptions, and social dynamics that form the backbone of a society. Through participant observation, cultural anthropologists immerse themselves in the daily lives of the community they are studying. They strive to see the world through the eyes of the local people, understanding their rituals, relationships, and responses to changes. This approach offers a unique lens to observe how cultural factors influence everything from family structures to political decisions. Moreover, it highlights how interconnected human beings are, regardless of geographical boundaries, and helps us appreciate the complexity and beauty of different cultures. The discoveries made in cultural anthropology have practical applications in areas such as international development, healthcare, and education, making it a vital field in today's interconnected world."
The question:
"How does the lecture elaborate on the information provided in the reading passage about the methods and applications of cultural anthropology? Provide specific details to support your answer."
My Answer:
The reading message and the professor talk about cultural and tripology how is so important for us to understand the norms and prospective of local culture. the professor emphasize more about the methodology of anthropologists that see the world through the lines of local people so it would contribute to understanding social structure from families into Political decision. moreover while reading message only mentioned about the international solution regarding diversity inclusivity and discrimination the professor emphasized about Healthcare and education could be resolved by Solution by this cultural anthropology method
ChatGPT Assessment, based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 10 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development):
Delivery: 5/10
The delivery of the answer is somewhat coherent but lacks precision in conveying the main points of the reading and listening passages. The response does touch on the importance of understanding local culture and the methods used by anthropologists, but it lacks clear elaboration on how the lecture extends the information from the reading passage. There are also some inaccuracies in the details mentioned.
Language Use: 4/10
Language use in this response is somewhat unclear, with noticeable grammatical errors and awkward phrasing that can hinder comprehension. For example, "cultural and tripology" is confusing and appears to be a typo or misunderstanding of the term "anthropology." Additionally, phrases like "see the world through the lines of local people" could be more clearly expressed. Better control of grammar and vocabulary would significantly enhance the clarity and quality of the response.
Topic Development: 5/10
The response identifies some key aspects of cultural anthropology and attempts to discuss the methods and applications as elaborated in the lecture. However, the explanation lacks depth, and specific details are either incorrect or missing. The connection between the reading and listening passages is not clearly articulated, and some critical insights from the lecture, such as the practical applications in international development, healthcare, and education, are not sufficiently explained. The response would benefit from a more careful selection and organization of the details to fully address the question.
Overall, the response captures some essential elements but struggles with clear articulation, accuracy, and depth. In a time-restricted spoken setting, focusing on clear language use and ensuring that the main points and specific details are correctly and succinctly presented would lead to a more effective response.

Task 4
Listening Passage:
"Good afternoon, students. Today, we are going to discuss the fundamental principles of evolutionary biology, a branch of biology that studies the process of evolution and the diversification of life on Earth.
The theory of evolution by natural selection was famously proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in the 19th century. It suggests that species change over time and that these changes are driven by natural selection, where traits that enhance survival and reproduction become more common in subsequent generations.
To start with, let's consider the concept of variation. Within a population, individuals show differences in their traits. Some of these differences may provide advantages in surviving and reproducing. For example, a bird with a longer beak might be more successful at obtaining food.
Next, we must consider inheritance. Traits that confer an advantage are more likely to be passed down to the next generation. This leads to an increase in the frequency of these advantageous traits over time.
Finally, let's discuss the concept of adaptation. Over many generations, these advantageous traits become more and more common, leading to a change in the population as a whole. This process leads to the formation of new species, or speciation.
The evidence supporting the theory of evolution is vast and comes from various fields such as paleontology, genetics, and comparative anatomy. Fossil records show gradual changes over time, while DNA studies reveal the genetic connections between different species.
It's crucial to understand that evolution is not a linear process but a branching one, where species can diverge into multiple new species.
In conclusion, evolutionary biology helps us understand the interconnectedness of life and the dynamic processes that have shaped the living world as we know it today. It is a field that continues to grow and evolve, just like the organisms it studies."
The question:
"How does the concept of natural selection contribute to the process of evolution, and what evidence supports the theory of evolution as discussed in the lecture?"
My Answer:
From the lecture about fundamental Health Evolution biology which discuss about natural selection that species actually change over time there are three main things regarding this natural selection. the first one is variation that the proof every single individual might be different depends on survival and reproduction for example the professor mentioned about longer beak of bird will be survived more because it easier to find food. The second one is about the traits that passed to the Next Generation over and over that makes specious changing and lead us to the third point. the third point is the adaptation some researcher conclude adaptation is about volatility genetically and Anatomy and some evidence regarding this it's DNA connection between species. Lastly the professor talk about this kind of field of study is really important to understand connection of life and still growing time over time
ChatGPT Assessment, based on TOEFL iBT rubrics in scale out of 10 for each rubric (Delivery, Language Use, Topic Development):
Delivery: 6/10
You managed to cover the main concepts of natural selection: variation, inheritance, and adaptation. However, the delivery is somewhat jumbled, and some essential details are lost or confused. For instance, you mentioned "Health Evolution biology" instead of evolutionary biology, and there's some repetition and lack of clarity in the explanation of the three concepts. Overall, the delivery could be more precise and well-structured.
Language Use: 5/10
The language use in your response is understandable but has several grammatical errors and awkward phrasings that may impede comprehension. There are issues with word choice, sentence structure, and tense consistency. Examples include "that the proof" instead of "proving" or "as proof," and "specious changing" instead of "species changing." The language issues detract from the overall quality of the response but don't entirely hinder the main points from coming across.
Topic Development: 6/10
The response adequately addresses the main aspects of the question, explaining the concepts of natural selection and mentioning evidence supporting evolution. However, some essential details are missing or misunderstood, such as the importance of fossil records, and the misinterpretation of adaptation as "volatility genetically and Anatomy." The inclusion of these details would have enriched the answer and provided a more comprehensive understanding of the lecture's content.
Overall, your response captures some of the key elements of the lecture but struggles with clarity and depth. Improving the language use and organizing the information more coherently would likely enhance the quality of the response. In a time-constrained setting, focusing on precise language and ensuring that the main points are correctly presented would be essential.
