Where can I find examples of good response for the TOEFL® speaking section?

[Vipulkatira]

Hi All

Can some some please guide me to a resource where I can hear good responses to both Independent and Integrated speaking questions ?

I just want to hear some good answers so that I can learn from it.

Cheers

Hi Vipul,

As I mentioned in another post, please go over this blog. You would find links to recorded responses to the TOEFL speaking questions.

Hi Vipul and Gray,

Thanks for the reference to my blog, Gray, but the following links will probably be more convenient for getting directly to sample answers:

http://global-english.lefora.com/2008/08/29/toefl-ibt-speaking-independent-topic-list-open-cho/page1/
(That link has 40 independent speaking topics for question 1, and I've recorded 12 good sample responses myself - 8 of them with complete written transcripts and another 4 with my rough planning notes included)

http://global-english.lefora.com/2008/12/20/toefl-ibt-speaking-independent-topic-list-paired-c/page1/
(Another 40 independent speaking topics, this time for question 2, and I've recorded 4 sample responses with planning notes included)

http://global-english.lefora.com/2009/01/08/toefl-speaking-question-1-independent-task-jasons-/page1/
(Another independent speaking task answer for question 1, including my detailed notes about the format and content of the answer)

http://global-english.lefora.com/2009/01/10/toefl-speaking-question-2-independent-task-paired-/page1/
(Another independent speaking task answer for question 2, including detailed notes about format and content)

http://global-english.lefora.com/2009/01/10/toefl-speaking-question-3-integrated-task-notice-c/page1/
(A sample answer for question 3, including actual note-taking and explanatory notes about format and content)

There is a huge variety of answers from other test takers around that site for a variety of other questions (all 6 question types), and my own samples and explanations for more questions are being uploaded on a regular basis.


I hope this gives you the help you were looking for!

All the best,

~ Jason

Thank you Vipulkatira, Gary and Jason.
Vipu raised a nice question that I would like to know as well.
Then Gary and Jason provide some very useful information.
I have to improve my speaking skills.
