Task 1
The question:
"Teenagers should work while they go to school, so they can learn how to be more responsible."
My Answer:
For me I really agree that teenager should work while they go to school not only because they will learn how to be more responsible but also it will teach them in a real world on the job market in for their future. it's so beneficial for them. for instance I have my friend that really good at work I don't know how come at his first day on the work he could afford attention for many people because he gives such a brilliant idea to the bosses, then I realize that he already work or at least pretend to work since he was at school

Based on TOEFL iBT rubrics, here's an assessment of your answer for the question, "Teenagers should work while they go to school, so they can learn how to be more responsible":
Delivery: 6/10
Your answer is generally easy to understand but contains several grammatical mistakes and awkward phrasing, which might disrupt the listener's understanding at times. For example, "I have my friend that really good at work" could be improved to, "I have a friend who is really good at his job."
Language Use: 5/10
You have several language issues, including sentence structure errors and incorrect or missing punctuation. Mistakes like "for me I really agree that teenager should work" could be revised to "I strongly agree that teenagers should work." The misuse of commas, lack of proper capitalization, and misspellings also impact the clarity of your answer.
Topic Development: 6/10
You do address the prompt by stating that you agree teenagers should work while attending school. You mention responsibility and give an example involving your friend to support your point. However, the example isn't directly related to responsibility, which is the focus of the question. The point about "teaching them in a real world on the job market for their future" could also be expanded upon for clarity.
Overall, while your answer does communicate your agreement with the statement and provides an example, there are areas for improvement in terms of grammatical accuracy, clarity, and relevance to the topic.

Task 2
Reading Passage:
More Flexible Meal Plans
As of right now, the school offers only one meal plan to students, which permits them to
eat at the cafeteria once per day for the entire school year. The problem with this is that
there are students who are busy with part-time jobs away from campus and don’t have
time to eat at the cafeteria on a daily basis. Since these students still want to eat at the
cafeteria occasionally I believe it would be best if the school started to sell meal plans that
provide a specific number of meals which students can eat whenever they want. Not only
will this be more convenient, but it will also increase the cafeteria’s income as a greater
number of students will consider taking advantage of its services.
Sincerely,
Johnny B. Goode
Listening Passage:
Man: Hey Lisa, did you read Johnny's letter in the school paper?
Woman: Yeah, I'm just finishing it now, actually. I can't believe he finally complained about it.
Man: Yeah, and I think it's great. Almost everyone I talk to agrees that the cafeteria should be more flexible when
it comes to meal plans. I mean, I'm not crazy about the cafeteria food, but I like to go there to meet up
with friends and hang out. I'd buy a 50-meal plan, for example, but I would never get the yearly meal plan.
Woman: Yes, I guess you have a point, but, won't this make the meals more expensive? I am on the school's
meal plan right now and the one thing I love about it is the price. It's so cheap.
Man: I don't see why a new meal plan structure would affect the price of the current system. It's basically just
adding more options. Even though I might have to pay more per meal for my plan, it fits my schedule
better. This type of structure is going to make everyone happy, both the students who don't plan on eating
at the cafeteria every day, and the school, which can make a bit more money from the variety of options.
And even students like you who are already on the meal plan won't be affected by this change
Woman: I guess you're right. Maybe Johnny will get what he wants after all.
The question:
The man expresses his opinion on cafeteria meal plans. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives for holding that opinion.
My Answer:
From the conversation it can be inferred that the man is agree with Johnny letter that suggests the campus not only give only one meal plan but also give several options for students. according to the man that he think that the cafeteria should offer more meal because he wants occasionally go to the cafeteria to eat or just hanging out with friends. moreover he believed that the cafeteria called for more Revenue if they enhance more menus. moreover according to him add more menus should not be expensive and not a fact any other students who already one meal plan

Based on the TOEFL iBT rubrics, here is an assessment of your answer to the question about the man's opinion on cafeteria meal plans:
Delivery: 6/10
The answer is mostly understandable but includes multiple errors that sometimes interfere with meaning. Phrases like "the man is agree with Johnny letter" would be clearer as "the man agrees with Johnny's letter."
Language Use: 5/10
The response contains several grammatical and syntactic errors, such as "according to the man that he think" which could be more accurately phrased as "according to the man, he thinks." Punctuation and capitalization issues are also present, making the text harder to follow. Moreover, the word "menus" is used incorrectly; the original topic is about meal plans, not menus.
Topic Development: 7/10
Your answer generally captures the man's opinion and the reasons he holds it, but it has some inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, you correctly note that the man supports more flexible meal plans because it fits better with different schedules, but you incorrectly mention that "he believed that the cafeteria could call for more Revenue if they enhance more menus," which is a misinterpretation of the original point about revenue from more flexible meal plans, not menus. Additionally, there's a misrepresentation regarding the expense: the man actually says it might cost more per meal, but it's worth it for the flexibility.
Overall, your answer indicates a basic understanding of the man's opinion and reasons but suffers from language errors and some inaccuracies in recounting the details.

Task 3
Reading Passage:
Types of Leadership
Every day we come across leaders in school, business, and life, and each has their own
unique approach to managing others. The way people use their power and authority
differs from person to person, but there are some recurring patterns. In business theory,
there are two main types of leaders: instrumental and expressive. Instrumental leaders are
very demanding individuals. Leaders of this type expect their employees to be professional
and focused on work rather than on relationships with their colleagues. In contrast,
expressive leaders are concerned about employee well-being. They believe strong
relationships and a positive work environment improve a group’s overall productivity.
Listening Passage:
“Okay, so, you may have never heard of the terms instrumental and expressive before when it comes to
leadership, but I bet you could think of a couple of people who fit these descriptions.
Now, I used to have a part-time job working as a waiter at a restaurant. I had a boss named Bill who was a
typical instrumental leader. Not only was he good at managing his business, but he also had extensive
experience as a waiter. He had high standards in the way we treated customers and he expected all of us to do
the same. The waiters were almost completely forbidden to speak with one another while at work, even when we
didn't have any customers. He felt that if we focused on our tasks and the customers, not on each other, we
wouldn't get distracted or become lazy. He did have a successful restaurant, but there were certainly other
approaches he could have taken that weren't so strict.
You know, my boss right now is Professor Green, the head of my department. She really knows how to treat the
university staff with respect. While there are rules we have to follow and deadlines we must meet, she hardly ever
pressures us. She treats us like adults and we, the teaching staff, all do our jobs to the best of our abilities
because we don't want to disappoint or upset her. She holds weekly staff meetings, so we can communicate
about problems in class and even holds parties at her home once a month. We all feel like part of an open and
honest team, and that would not be possible without her expressive type of leadership.”
The question:
Using the examples from the lecture, describe two types of leadership.
My Answer:
There are two kind of leadership the first one is intensive leadership who value work Focus rather than relationships. the next one is expressive leadership who has more focus on relationship between peers and working environment. from the professor on lecture talk about example of those two kinds of leadership. the first one the lecturer mentioned about Bill her supervisor in the past on the restaurant bill has very expensive and extensive experience really tied to the employee and they will told the employee to do the same all the time maybe it's a cold sore the cafe is not so good in the. the Prof that lead with and Le feel happy about this because Professor Green concerned about happy situation on the work environment and also give some weekly staff meeting to meet each other

Based on the TOEFL iBT rubrics, here's an assessment of your answer regarding the two types of leadership described in the reading and listening passages:
Delivery: 6/10
While your answer is mostly understandable, there are errors and awkward phrasings that can disrupt comprehension. For example, the sentence, "the first one the lecturer mentioned about Bill her supervisor in the past on the restaurant bill has very expensive and extensive experience really tied to the employee," is difficult to follow.
Language Use: 4/10
The response contains several grammatical errors, awkward phrasings, and misspellings, which could confuse the listener. For example, "intensive leadership" should be "instrumental leadership," and "work Focus" should be "work focus." Punctuation and capitalization are also inconsistent. These issues reduce the clarity of your answer.
Topic Development: 7/10
You manage to capture the essence of the two types of leadership—instrumental and expressive—and provide examples for each from the lecture. However, there are inaccuracies and omissions. For instance, you incorrectly describe Bill as having "very expensive and extensive experience," which seems to be a misinterpretation of "extensive experience." Additionally, some points are unclear or fragmented, such as "maybe it's a cold sore the cafe is not so good in the." There is also a mix-up in referring to the lecturer as "her" and "Bill" as her supervisor, while the lecture suggests it's the speaker's past boss.
Overall, your answer communicates the basic differences between the two types of leadership but has room for improvement in clarity, grammatical accuracy, and completeness.

Task 4
Listening Passage:
“We spend approximately one-third of our lives sleeping. Given that the average life expectancy for most of us
falls between 73 and 79 years old, we can expect to spend approximately 25 years of our lives sleeping.
Surprisingly, the reason why we humans sleep is still mostly a mystery, but there are a few theories that attempt
to explain the function of sleep.
One popular hypothesis argues that sleep is essential in order for us humans to restore the resources we use
throughout the day. The same way that bears hibernate in the winter when resources are scarce, perhaps people
sleep at night to reduce the amount of energy they use. It has recently become fashionable to argue that people
need to sleep at least eight hours a night in order to function at their optimal physical and mental capacity. I'm
sure all of you have felt pretty sluggish after a late night with just a few hours of sleep, so this theory makes
sense, intuitively.
However, there are others who are not convinced by this simplistic explanation of why we sleep and have
proposed other explanations.
Another popular theory proposes that sleep is an adaptive response to predatory risk. In other words, our great
ancestors were more likely to be hunted and killed at night by other animals, so a desire to sleep in a safe,
comfortable area was an evolutionary mechanism that helped shield us from harm. As I'm sure you are all
aware, there are more risks at night time since visibility is so low. We haven't adapted our senses in the same
way other creatures have to survive throughout the night. Accordingly, it makes sense to believe that sleep is a
biological response to our environmental conditions, but, just like the theory involving energy conservation, there
are some who disagree.”
The question:
Using points and examples from the talk, describe the two theories that explain why humans sleep.
My Answer:
According to the professor there are two kind of theory about why humans sleep. according to her even if we already sleep or very much today but sleep reason still mystery. the first theory about why we sleep is about sleep really important and essential to restore our resources like animal do hibernation it restore our energy and according to her 8 hours of sleep should be Optimum for our physical and mentally. the next theory is about adaptive to predatory reasons because since we are like an animal we are finding some solution to no harm which is in the night while feasibility is so low we can do sleep without any harm from predatory

Based on the TOEFL iBT rubrics, here is an assessment of your answer about the two theories explaining why humans sleep:
Delivery: 6/10
Your answer is mostly understandable but contains several awkward phrasings and errors that can disrupt comprehension. For example, "sleep reason still mystery" could be better expressed as "the reason we sleep is still mostly a mystery."
Language Use: 4/10
Your response includes several grammatical errors, incorrect word choices, and awkward phrasings that could confuse the listener. For example, "according to her even if we already sleep or very much today but sleep reason still mystery" is difficult to understand and lacks proper syntax. Consistent issues with punctuation and capitalization further reduce the clarity of your answer.
Topic Development: 8/10
You successfully mention the two theories about why humans sleep and offer some detail about each, but there are some omissions and inaccuracies. For instance, while you correctly mention that the first theory is about restoring resources, you do not capture that it is often compared to animal hibernation. Your explanation of the second theory mentions "predatory reasons," which is a reasonable summary but could be clearer. Also, you mentioned that the professor is a woman, while the listening passage did not specify this.
Overall, your answer captures the key points of the two theories but could be improved in terms of clarity, grammatical accuracy, and completeness.
