IMPORTANT: The examples in this part of SECTION I are shorter than the actual mini
talks on the TOEFL examination. The actual mini talks usually have four
questions following them. |
|
Overheard Conversations |
|
Overheard conversations are conversations heard by someone who is not talking.
In some talks on Part C, you will hear a long conversation
between two or three speakers.
When you hear a conversation, you must be able to summarize the important ideas.
You will usually NOT be required to remember small details. |
|
EXAMPLE: |
|
Ted Parker: |
Are you Mrs. Williams? |
|
Mrs. Williams: |
Why yes. |
|
Ted Parker: |
l'm Ted Parker. I talked with you on the
telephone earlier today. |
|
Mrs. Williams: |
Oh, good. |
|
Ted Parker: |
Let me show you what we have in a new
Oldsmobile Cutlass. |
|
Mrs. Williams: |
I want to look at last year's model, too,
if you have any. |
|
Ted Parker: |
I have one. A red Delta 88 with 2,000
miles on it. It was a demonstrator. |
|
Mrs. Williams: |
A demonstrator? |
|
Ted Parker: |
That means that only the sales staff
have driven it. |
|
Question: |
Who is the man? |
|
Answer: |
A car salesman. |
