*****TOEFL TIPS:
SPEAKING SECTION:
RECOMMENDATIONS OR CONCLUSION
“State whether you agree or disagree with the following statement. Then
explain your reasons using specific details in your argument. Teachers
should assign daily homework to students.”
I agree with the idea of giving children homework on a daily basis. I feel this
way for two reasons.
First of all, I think that it will help children to retain what they learn for a much
longer period of time. The only real way for kids to absorb a lesson is to
actually go home and repeat it as much as they possibly can. And in the long
run this kind of thing will lead to a lot more academic success.
I think it’s a great idea for kids to do household chores as soon as they’re old
enough.
First of all, this can teach children some really valuable skills that will come in
handy later in life. For instance, I was responsible for cooking breakfast for
my little brother every day before we went to school when we were both kids.
As a result, when I went away to college as a teenager I stayed really healthy
because I could cook my own meals instead of always going out for fast food
like my friends and classmates.
Secondly, parents and children can do household chores together and this
gives them a chance to bond. You know, as they work on things like cleaning
dishes or cooking food they can chat, and the kids might open up about what’s
going on in their lives.

5) CHOOSE AN ANSWER
If you do not know the answer to a question, choose an answer that you think might be correct
and go on. You can always go back and change that answer, provided you have enough time to
read the passage again. If you do not answer a question and if you do not have time to go back
when finishing the TOEFL Reading section, you may waste points because there is always the
chance that your answer is correct.
