Understanding the Purpose of Academic Guidance
Listen to the following conversation between a professor and a student regarding a university project.
Student: Professor, I have a question about the project we need to submit next week.
Professor: Sure! What do you need help with?
Student: I’m not sure how to start the research. Do you have any suggestions?
Professor: Yes, it’s important to first outline your main ideas. You should pick a recent article related to your topic, and summarize it. This will help guide your research.
Student: That sounds good! Is there a specific format we should follow for the citations?
Professor: Absolutely! Make sure to use APA format for all your references.
Student: Thank you, that really helps!
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.
