Integrated Speaking and Writing Tasks

This week, we took a look at some integrated tasks on both the speaking and the writing sections of the TOEFL exam. We also confirmed that taking good notes will be an important part of both of these tasks.
You can listen again to the conversations from the Integrated Speaking task and read the scripts as well, by clicking on the link for downloads on the right side of this page.

We will be practicing the part of the test regarding Integrated writing again on Monday, but in the meantime you should download the example of the Integrated Writing task (see the link on the right side of this page), listen again to the lecture (read the script if you need to), and then write your answer to the question:

"Summarize the points made in the lecture, and explain how they challenge the points made in the reading."

Remember to summarize important points in the listening passage as related to key points in the reading passage. You must write 150 - 225 words (or more) in 20 minutes (but take MORE time this time to make sure it is perfect!).
