Understanding the Purpose of a Conversation
Listen to the following conversation between a student and a professor.
Student: Good morning, Professor Smith. I wanted to ask you about the readings for this week. I found the article quite interesting, but I am not sure how to relate it to our upcoming project.
Professor: Good morning! I’m glad you found the article interesting. The main point is that it discusses various theories that can apply to your project. I suggest you focus on the sections that discuss practical applications. They provide great examples you can use in your work.
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.
