Give yourself 15 seconds to prepare your response. Then record yourself speaking for 45 seconds.  \nSome people enjoy taking risks and trying new things . Others are not adventurous; they are cautious and prefer to avoid danger . Which behavior do you think is better?  \nExplain why .  \nPreparation Time: 15 seconds  \nResponse Time: 45 seconds  \nSpeaking Practice Question 1: Independent Speaking  \nPractice (Explain a Choice): Response Tips  \nTo respond to this particular question, you should clearly state what your opinion is: Do you think it is better to take risks or to be cautious? Then you should give reasons to support your opinion . If you take the position that you think it is better to take risks and try new things, you might give an example of a time when you or someone you know took a risk and was rewarded.  \nThe example should have good details, and the relationship between the example and your opinion should be clear. If you take the  \nposition that it is better to be cautious, you might give an example of a situation where being cautious is beneficial. You might continue to develop the response by contrasting what would happen in this situation if a risk were taken .  \nKeep in mind that there is no “correct” answer to this question . Either behavior can be supported with examples. The important part of this task is to make sure that you state your opinion and develop your response with good examples and relevant details.  \nAs with all speaking tasks, your response should be intelligible, should demonstrate effective use of grammar and vocabulary, and should be well developed and coherent. This task is scored using the Independent Speaking Rubrics.  \n[https://www.ets.org/s/toefl/pdf/toefl_](https://www.ets.org/s/toefl/pdf/toefl_)  \n[speaking_rubrics.pd](speaking_rubrics.pd)  \nSpeaking Practice Question 2: Integrated Speaking Practice (Campus-Related): Passage, Conversation, and Question  \nDirections: The University is making a change in the courses it will offer. Read the article from the university newspaper about the change. Give yourself 45 seconds to read the article.  \nSculpture Courses to Be Discontinued  \nUniversity administrators announced yesterday that the sculpture program, a division of t he art department, will be eliminated.“The main reason is a lack of student interest,” reported one administrator.“Although the number of art students has increased, fewer and fewer art majors are taking sculpture classes.”Furthermore, the department’s only sculpture professor is retiring this year.“Given the art department’s limited budget,” the  \nadministrator explained,“it just doesn’t make sense to hire a new full-time professor to teach sculpture for only a handful of students.”  \nDirections: Read the transcript.  \nNarrator: Now listen to two students discussing the article.  \nMale student: Everything alright?  \nFemale student: Yeah, I’m just upset about that article I showed you this morning …  \nMale student: Why, what’s the big deal?  \nFemale student: Well, as an art major, I think it’s a big loss for the department. The university’s got it all wrong.  \nMale student: What do you mean?  \nFemale student: Well, the low enrollment isn’t because art majors don’t want to take these classes. Problem is, who has time to take them when there are so many other requirements?  \nMale student: I don’t understand.  \nFemale student: See, the classes they’re eliminating are all optional. The required courses are mostly painting and drawing, and they take up all our time.
