There are two different categories of questions in this section \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Question 1 &#8211; TOEFL speaking independent task<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions 2, 3, and 4: TOEFL speaking integrated task<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first task is a general knowledge quiz, whereas the second one includes listening, speaking and reading sections.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-bdddf09\" data-block-id=\"bdddf09\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-button-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button stk-block stk-0a90e3a\" data-block-id=\"0a90e3a\"><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/toefl-scholarship-types-application-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">TOEFL Scholarship Program In 2022<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TOEFL_Speaking_Templates_for_Practice\"><\/span><b>TOEFL Speaking Templates for Practice<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All sections of the Speaking section requires candidates to demonstrate their ability in either integrated or independent speaking tasks. One can expect to see questions like describing a familiar topic, discussing an academic course topic, or giving opinions on a campus situation. To begin preparing for this section of the test, one must read through each task carefully and understand its meaning in terms of what they will have to do, &amp; refer to the TOEFL speaking templates for practicing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1. TOEFL Speaking Task 1 \u2013 Independent Task<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these questions, candidates will be asked to decide between two options. They can choose any option but must support the choice with reasons. It is okay to prefer one over the other until it is backed with precise supportive facts and reasons. Candidates may encounter the following question types \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>Agree or Disagree &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To what extent does one agree or disagree with a statement? If an individual is asked such a question, the goal should be to back his or her belief with reasons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? With the advent of entertainment-focused technology, fewer books are read by people than before.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>Preference &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Would you rather choose an A or B, and why? These questions do not always ask about imaginary situations, but they do ask which option you prefer and why. Nevertheless, the choice should be backed by reasons.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you rather be rich or poor, and why?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>Description and Explanation &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What are your thoughts on this issue, and what evidence do you have to support them? Explain why. These types of questions must be read carefully to understand what to talk about and keep it as relevant as possible.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> People sometimes undergo surgical procedures to enhance or alter their appearance. They do this to become more attractive to others. Do you think this is a good idea?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>Advantages and disadvantages &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Discuss the pros and cons of an issue, then pick a side. Here, candidates must state both sides of an argument and then show why one is better than the other.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many students are asked to evaluate their professors at the end of the semester. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>Three Choices<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Potentially, this question type will provide you with three separate choices to select between. Select one, and back the decision with reasons&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Which of the following impacts environmental protection greatly? (1) Individual effort (2) Governmental regulations (3) Environmental awareness groups.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><b>If\/Imaginary<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; An &#8220;If or imaginary&#8221; question asks to imagine a situation and then decide how one would feel or what one would do based on the situation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Example:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Would you spend your money right away or save it? Use details and examples to support your choice.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The table below represents a TOEFL Speaking Templates format for independent Speaking task 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>[table id=313 \/]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"IELTS, TOEFL or PTE - Which one to choose | Live QnA With Saket Kohli &amp; Manisha Angre!\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wSzrs3rpw0Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2.
