Task 2
Reading Passage:
Starting from the upcoming academic year, the university will introduce a mandatory health and wellness course for all incoming freshmen. The course aims to educate students about balanced nutrition, exercise, stress management, and mental well-being. The class will include both theoretical and practical components, such as yoga sessions and nutritional workshops. The university administration believes that this course will equip students with essential life skills and improve their overall college experience. The course will be taught by qualified instructors and guest lecturers from the healthcare industry. All students must pass this course to proceed to their sophomore year.
Listening Passage:
Student A: Hey, did you hear about the new health and wellness course they're making mandatory for all freshmen?
Student B: Yeah, I just read the announcement. I don't know how to feel about it, honestly.
Student A: Why? I think it's a great idea. College students are notorious for leading unhealthy lifestyles, especially with all the stress and fast food around. This course could be a lifesaver.
Student B: I get your point, but making it mandatory seems a bit much. What if someone's already active and health-conscious? For them, it might feel like a waste of time.
Student A: Even if you're active and health-conscious, there's always room to learn. The course covers not just physical health but also mental well-being and stress management. I think that's beneficial for everyone, regardless of their current habits.
Student B: Fair enough, but what about the students who are already juggling a packed academic schedule? Adding another mandatory course could really throw them off balance.
Student A: Well, I read that the course will be designed to be less demanding than other core subjects, so it shouldn't be too heavy of a load. Plus, the skills you learn might actually help you manage stress, which could improve your performance in other courses.
Student B: That's a good point. But what about the resources? They have to hire qualified instructors, guest lecturers, and maybe even build new facilities. Who's going to pay for that?
Student A: I assume it's factored into our tuition or subsidized by the university. Either way, I think it's an investment in student health, which is important.
Student B: I can see the merits, but I'm still not entirely convinced. With rising tuition costs, any additional financial burden should be critically assessed.
Student A: That's a valid concern. Maybe they should conduct a student survey before fully implementing it to gauge how many people are actually in favor.
Student B: Yeah, a more democratic approach could be useful. Let's see how it plays out.
The question:
Summarize the points made in the reading and the conversation. Specifically, what does the university hope to achieve with the new course and how do the students in the conversation feel about it?
My Answer transcript:
The campus has a plan to create a new mandatory healthy and wellness class for freshman in order to improve their study exper. according to the conversation between two students it can infer that they have three concern about this plan. the first concern is about the mandatory classification of this class according to the students they think it's too much because it could be some students already have a good habit on physical or Wellness but the other student said that it should be some room to learn even if already experience on that discipline. The second concern is about how about students who already busy in schedule according to the conversation they agree that it should be less demanded class and it should be help students to reduce the stress of that busy schedule. the last concern from the students is about the resources in order to the tuition fee they suggest campus Shield take a survey to students about the increasing increment of students fee

Based on the TOEFL iBT speaking rubrics, here is an assessment of your answer:
Delivery: 6/10
Your delivery is mostly understandable, but it lacks smoothness at some points. Phrasing like "it can infer that they have three concern" could be more naturally rendered as "it can be inferred that they have three concerns." These rough patches make the delivery less fluid, impacting the overall clarity.
Language Use: 5/10
You do cover the essential vocabulary relevant to the task, but there are several grammatical errors. For example, "healthy and wellness class for freshman" should be "health and wellness class for freshmen," and "they suggest campus Shield take a survey to students" is not clear or grammatically correct. These errors hinder the overall communication to some extent.
Topic Development: 7/10
You manage to capture the key points from both the reading and the conversation. The points are organized around three main concerns, which makes the summary easy to follow. However, the ideas could be more clearly articulated, and additional details or examples would enhance the response.
Overall, your speaking skills show promise, but there are areas for improvement. Focusing on grammatical accuracy and the clear expression of ideas will help elevate your performance in TOEFL iBT speaking tasks.

Task 3
Reading Passage:
Emotional Intelligence, often abbreviated as EQ, refers to the capability of recognizing one's own emotions and those of others, discerning between different feelings and labeling them appropriately, using emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and managing emotions to adapt to environments. Unlike IQ, which measures cognitive intelligence, EQ gauges how a person perceives, understands, and manages emotions. Research suggests that a high EQ often correlates with strong leadership qualities, interpersonal skills, and overall success in both personal and professional life. Thus, some experts argue that EQ is as crucial as IQ, if not more so, for achieving success.
Listening Passage:
Professor: "Good morning, everyone. Today, we're going to delve deeper into the concept of Emotional Intelligence, or EQ as it's commonly known. The concept has taken center stage in a variety of fields—psychology, business, even education. While IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, measures cognitive abilities like mathematical skills and logical reasoning, EQ focuses on emotional and social skills.
You see, IQ tests have faced criticism for being limited tools that measure a narrow set of abilities. These tests often neglect key aspects of human intelligence such as empathy, self-awareness, and the ability to manage relationships. In fact, EQ might be a better predictor of success in the workplace and personal life. Think about it—good leaders not only need to be smart but also emotionally intelligent. They need to understand their team's dynamics, listen actively, and be able to resolve conflicts effectively.
Moreover, unlike IQ, which tends to be stable throughout life, EQ can be developed and improved upon. That's why you find workshops and training programs focused on boosting your emotional intelligence. Companies and educational institutions are beginning to realize this and are placing an equal if not higher emphasis on EQ during hiring or admissions processes.
For instance, let's say you're really good at mathematics—a true genius. But if you can't work well in a team, can't communicate your ideas effectively, or handle criticism, your skills will remain underutilized. You may excel in solving equations but fail in solving human problems, which are often more complex and nuanced.
In summary, Emotional Intelligence complements cognitive abilities and enriches our understanding of human intelligence. Research has shown that people with high EQ tend to be more successful in almost all realms of life, be it personal relationships or professional endeavors."
The question:
Based on the reading passage and the lecture, discuss how Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, is considered to be important in personal and professional life. How does the lecture extend the information provided in the reading?
My Answer transcript:
The lecture is talking about comparison between EQ and IQ EQ is very critical because it is the center of psychology business and education. according to the professor EQ is controlling emotion self-awareness and social adaptability in fact the professor mentioned that EQ lead to leadership and overall success and also relationship since EQ concerned about empathy and relationship that's obviously for the ones who has good EQ would be shining on the community or the job there at. the professor Give an example about mathematical question genius that even he can solve the mathematical problem that's IQ it is useless if he unable to work in team

Based on the TOEFL iBT speaking rubrics, here's how your answer could be assessed:
Delivery: 6/10
Your delivery is understandable but could benefit from clearer articulation and a more natural flow. Phrases like "that's obviously for the ones who has good EQ would be shining on the community or the job there at" are a bit difficult to follow and could be streamlined for clarity.
Language Use: 5/10
You manage to use relevant vocabulary to discuss the topic of EQ, but there are notable grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. For example, "EQ is very critical because it is the center of psychology business and education" could be better structured for clarity. Such errors affect the ease with which your message can be understood.
Topic Development: 7/10
You do cover the key points from the reading passage and the lecture, summarizing the importance of EQ in personal and professional life. You even include an example from the lecture to illustrate a point. However, your response could be more focused and better organized to effectively summarize the material and highlight how the lecture extends the information in the reading.
Your speaking skills show potential, but there's room for improvement in clarity, grammatical accuracy, and organizational structure. Focusing on these areas can help improve your performance in future TOEFL iBT speaking tasks.

Task 4
Listening Passage:
"Good afternoon, students. Today we're going to discuss a fundamental theory in biological sciences: the theory of evolution. This theory, as many of you may know, was most prominently put forth by Charles Darwin in the mid-19th century, although earlier naturalists like Jean-Baptiste Lamarck also contributed to its conceptual framework.
The basic premise of the theory is that all life forms on Earth share a common ancestry and have evolved over time through a process known as natural selection. This process favors traits that increase an individual organism's chances of survival and reproduction within a specific environment. Over countless generations, these small changes can accumulate and lead to the emergence of new species.
Now, what evidence supports this theory? First, let's look at the fossil record. By examining layers of sedimentary rock, scientists have been able to chronicle the changes in various species over millions of years. This historical record clearly shows transitional forms of life that bridge the gap between ancestral and modern species.
Secondly, genetic evidence has been increasingly vital. DNA studies have shown the genetic commonalities among various species, supporting the idea that they share a common ancestor. Additionally, observed instances of natural selection in contemporary ecosystems further substantiate the theory.
However, it's important to note that not everyone agrees with this theory. Criticisms come from different angles. Some are religiously motivated, arguing that life forms were created by a higher power in their present forms. It's important to note that this argument is not based on empirical evidence but rather on belief systems.
There's also a scientific critique, albeit from a minority within the scientific community. These critics argue that while microevolution, or evolution within species, is observable and well-supported, macroevolution—the creation of new species—is less supported by empirical evidence. They question whether natural selection alone can account for the complexity and diversity of all life on Earth.
To sum up, the theory of evolution is one of the most robust theories in the scientific community, supported by evidence from fossil records to genetics. But it's not without its critics, ranging from those motivated by religious beliefs to a minority within the scientific community itself. And that makes the debate around it one of the most dynamic and enduring in the field."
The question:
How does the lecturer present the theory of evolution, and what are the criticisms mentioned? Discuss the types of evidence supporting the theory and differentiate between the bases of the criticisms.
My Answer transcript:
The lecture is about the fundamental theory on biology is the evolution Theory. the professor talk about evidence and the criticism about this theory. the first evident about this theory is the fossil record, according to the professor various species from the fossil feeling the gap transitional between ancestors and and our modern life-being. And the second thing that he mentioned it's about genetic that has many commonality between ancestor and modern life-being. furthermore the professor talk about the criticisms came from religious views that seeing this theory on their beliefs not from the empiric data. Then the second criticism come from minor scientists that believe micro evolution is possible but macro is not

Based on the TOEFL iBT speaking rubrics, here is your assessment:
Delivery: 6/10
Your delivery is mostly clear, although there are portions where your phrasing could be smoother. For example, phrases like "the fossil feeling the gap transitional between ancestors and and our modern life-being" could be confusing to listeners. While understandable, more fluidity in speech could make your message clearer.
Language Use: 6/10
Your response contains some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing, which can disrupt the listener's understanding. For example, "the professor talk about evidence and the criticism about this theory" could be more accurately phrased as "the professor talked about the evidence and criticisms of this theory." Despite these issues, the core message and relevant vocabulary are present.
Topic Development: 7/10
You effectively summarize the main points of the lecture, mentioning both the evidence supporting the theory of evolution as well as the criticisms it faces. However, your response could benefit from being more detailed and structured to make it easier to follow. For instance, explicitly mentioning natural selection as a process could have added depth to your summary.
Overall, your speaking shows capability, but there are areas that you can focus on to improve. This includes ensuring grammatical accuracy, using more precise vocabulary, and adding details to enhance the richness of your response.
