Challenge to Beliefs: A Personal Experience
In many cultures, people often encounter situations that challenge their beliefs or perspectives. Think about a specific instance in your life where you were confronted with a viewpoint that was markedly different from your own. Describe this experience in detail, explaining how it affected your understanding or influenced your beliefs. Be sure to include what the differing viewpoint was, how you reacted at the time, and what the outcome was for both you and the individual or group presenting that perspective.
Note: This question has been adapted from its original format to accommodate a reading-based version. In the official TOEFL exam, speaking and listening sections require verbal responses and audio prompts, which are not represented here. Please note that this adaptation may not fully reflect the nature or difficulty of the official exam. The audio feature for these sections will be available soon.
