TOEFL IBT Speaking Question 4 (Tips&Examples)



In question 4 is more complex than the first three. However, not too much :) By the way, (: happy new year :)  You will read a passage(approximately 75–100 words), listen to part of a 150–220 word lecture and then you will be expected to summarize part of the information.


The topics for this question include academic lectures from:
• Life science
• Social science
• Physical science
• Humanitie.


It's so important that please take notes while you read and listen!


While you are answering question 4, 
  • state the general topic of the metarials set 
  • explain whether the listening supports or refuses the principles presented in reading;
  • introduce main points and supporting details from the listening passage and relate each of them back to the main points in the reading passage.


When you take notes, give them a letter to complete the template successfully.
