Understanding Purpose of Speech: Study Tips
Listen to the conversation between a student and a senior student mentor.
Student: Hi! I'm really stressed about the upcoming exams. I don’t know how to prepare.
Senior Mentor: I completely understand. The best way to prepare is to create a study schedule. Prioritize the subjects you think are the hardest for you. Also, try studying in groups; it can really help reinforce what you’ve learned.
Student: That sounds helpful! Should I also take breaks while studying?
Senior Mentor: Definitely! Breaks are important. They help you stay focused and refreshed. Maybe use the Pomodoro technique—study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.
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.
