Speaking Task One: Describe a City or Country

Because you might get a question asking you to describe a city or country, you should pick a city (for example: Paris, London, Tokyo) and a country (for example: India, Australia, Italy) and learn about it. Memorize two or three things about both your chosen city and chosen country. That way, any question about a city or country can be answered with your memorized statements.

GOOD LUCK!

Snacks on Test Day

TOEFL gives you only a 10-minute break between the listening and speaking sections. Be sure to bring a banana and a powerbar or some other source of protein and carbohydrate.  You'll need the energy for the second part of the test!

GOOD LUCK!
