TOEFL speaking practice for independent and integrated tasks

What you’ll practice

Give complete TOEFL speaking answers with better structure, timing control, and source-based clarity.

Task-specific focus

• Independent tasks: clear opinion + two supporting reasons.
• Integrated tasks: summarize key points without adding unsupported claims.

Timing routine

1. 15-20 seconds planning.
2. 45-60 seconds speaking with clear transitions.
3. Short review: identify one grammar and one coherence fix.

Useful phrases

• “The reading states…, while the lecture explains…”
• “Together, these points show that…”

Mini role-play

Prompt: “Do you agree that online learning is more effective than classroom learning?” You: “I partly agree because online learning gives flexibility and access to global resources. However, classroom learning offers faster interaction and feedback.”
