Understanding the Purpose of Assistance in a Library
Listen to the following dialogue between a student and a library assistant:
Student: Hi! I was looking for some information on historical architecture for my project, but I’m not sure where to start. Could you help me?
Library Assistant: Of course! We have a whole section dedicated to architecture. I suggest you check out the books in the art and history section. We also have some databases that might be beneficial. Would you like me to show you how to access them?
Student: Yes, that would be great! Are there any specific authors or periods I should focus on?
Library Assistant: Well, I recommend looking into works by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Gothic period, as they have a lot of relevance to your topic. Also, our digital archives have some interesting articles that could provide a deeper insight.
Student: Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
Library Assistant: No problem at all! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
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.
