TOEFL Talk
In the Online version
of the TOEFL
exam students are required to speak into a microphone and record their
voices. We can simulate this by having the students record there voices
on their computers. One open source software that I recommend highly is
Audicity.
If they have made their recordings on MP3 or an OOG format they can podcast their talks on the web. Question 1. Read the question below and on a piece of paper map out what you will say: Imagine that you have been elected Emperor of the Entire World for a week. Who would you talk to and what would you do?
Question 2. Using
a blank piece of
paper take notes while you Then
read the following
paragraphs: The Safer Less Dangerous Sex From the ideas of Psychologist Dr Anne Campbell http://biososial.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/campbell1999.pdf Historically
speaking,
men have ruled the
roost in almost every society since the dawn of civilization. From
their
position of power they have been able to spread ideas that are likely
to keep
them in control. And women's aggression has indeed been ridiculed as an
abnormality, an illness or madness. Even today there is a stigma
attached to
fighting talk in the powder room. All you girls should now have one
question on
your lips — what happened to women's liberation? Hang in there girls,
and just
remember, a revolution always starts with a whisper. Finally respond to this
question:
In
life, who do
you think has the more difficult time :
Men or Women? Explain your reasoning.
Question 3 Read the question below and on a piece of scrap paper and block out what you will talk about: Your school is to have
a visit by a
well known TV
journalist. You are to have a private interview with this Reporter.
What would you like to talk about and why?
