[TOEFL] Task 5_Practice 2_1

DIALOGUE READING
Please read aloud the dialogue with your tutor.
READ
Female:
Have you seen the announcement posted a while ago? The volleyball competition is moved to the same day as the examination.
Male:
The examination is next week, right? What happened? I thought the competition will be held this Saturday.
Female:
They moved the schedule to next Monday. The organizers of the competition said that there is a problem with the venue. Other schools will use it next week.
Male:
That really is a problem. Your team needs you in the competition but you also need to take your examination.
Female:
I know. I really don’t know how to deal with this.
Male:
The competition will be held in the afternoon, right? You can take your examination in the morning. Then, head to the venue for the volleyball competition after.
Female:
That would be really difficult. I need to warm up before the competition starts. I will not have enough time to do both on the same day.
Male:
Can’t someone fill in for you while you’re not there? Maybe you can find a substitute player.
Female:
We can’t do that because the name of the players were already registered last week. We can’t just add another player before the game. I hope they’ll move the date of the competition again.

SAMPLE ANSWERS
1.
What is the female student and the male student doing?
The female student and the male student are talking about a problem the female student has.
2. What is the problem?
The problem is that the female student has an examination on the day of the volleyball competition.
3. What is the male student’s first solution?
The male student offers two solutions to solve her problem. His first solution is to take the examination in the morning then head to the venue of the competition after the examination.
4. What is the male student’s second solution?
His second solution is to have someone fill in for the female student while she is not there.
5. Which solution do you agree with?
I agree with the first solution because it provides a practical result. She can take her examination in the morning then catch up with the competition in the afternoon. Having someone to fill in for her is not possible because a player cannot play unless his/her name is registered in the competition. Since the registration is already over, they cannot add another player to the team. If she can finish her examination fast, she can still warm up before the competition starts.

DIALOGUE READING
Please read aloud the dialogue with your tutor.
READ
Female:
Oh no! I left my P.E. uniform. I need it for our softball game in our class today.
Male:
Do you remember where you put it?
Female:
Yes, I put it in my locker together with my shoes earlier.
Male:
Why did you put it in your locker?
Female:
It was too heavy to carry in my bag. I had 3 classes before our P.E. class today.
Male:
I see. Why don’t you get it from your locker? You still have time before P.E. class starts.
Female:
I can’t because our P.E. class will start in 5 minutes. My locker is in the other building, it will take me at least 15 minutes to get there. I’m afraid I might get back here late. Our professor will deduct some points from the team’s total score if there’s a late member.
Male:
If that’s the case, maybe you can ask our professor if he’ll allow you to be the scorer for today’s game. Then, just play next week.
Female:
I don’t think that will work because our professor is too strict. Also, he said during our last class that those students who will not play as scheduled will be marked as absent.

SAMPLE ANSWERS
A female student and a male student are talking about a problem the female student has.
The problem is that she left her P.E uniform in her locker.
The male student offers two solutions to solve her problem.
His first solution is to get her P.E uniform from her locker since she still has time before her class starts.
His second solution is to ask her professor if she can be the scorer for today’s game and play next week instead.
I agree with the first solution because asking her professor to let her be the scorer for today’s game might cause a problem in the long run since she will be marked as absent. If she goes back to her locker and gets her P.E. uniform, she will have a bigger chance to attend their class and play at their softball game.

READ AND PRACTICE

Good morning, everyone.

It’s a great pleasure to be here today.

Please let me introduce myself. I am Dan Wilson from North Shore High School.

In my presentation today, I’m going to report on the number of students enrolled in private universities last school year.

I will start the presentation now.

The graph shows that only 30 percent of students were enrolled in private universities. As you can see in the graph, the remaining 70 percent of students were enrolled in state universities. Based on a survey, the top 2 reasons why only 30 percent of students chose to enroll in private universities are the following. First, the tuition fee in private universities is expensive. Second, the slots offered in private universities are limited.

In summary, only 30 percent of students were enrolled in private universities, while the rest were admitted in state universities last school year.

Please raise your hand if you have any questions.

Therefore, I conclude that schools should inform students of the scholarship programs offered in different private universities.

Thank you for listening. Let’s now wrap it up for today.
