How do I prepare the speaking sessions?

Although you can discuss about whatever you want with your partner, here you have some guidelines.

1. You may select some TOEFL sample questions (see below) and ask them to your partner. You may change roles for the next question and so on. Try to use the same amount of preparation time as in the real TOEFL (15 seconds)

2. You both may select some newspapers articles, read them before the session, and discuss about them.

3. You may discuss about personal stuff (your country, your family, your background, your favorite restaurant, etc.). Remember that the first two TOEFL questions are about a personal preferences and choices.
