The most important TOEFL IBT Speaking rules:
! Remember the structure of the answer: Introduction, Body, Conclusion;
! We speak naturally: No pauses, No rush, No muttering to yourself;
! We speak clearly: We can speak with any accent - the main thing is that your speech is clear to the speakers;
! Speaking in time: DO NOT end earlier, DO NOT start later, and vice-versa;
Question # 1: Essentially, this is Opinion Speaking on a given topic. You can present any ideas in English on a given topic, the main thing is that they are logical, consistent, understandable, have structure and meaning.
Question # 2: Here you need to summarize ideas from the short text provided to you and the pre-listened track (an excerpt of a conversation in English). The main thing is not to misinterpret ideas, not to confuse details, to be correct in everything.
Question # 3: - + . . , , , . .
