Long Conversation
Part B of the
Listening Comprehension section of the TOEFL test consists of two long
conversations, each followed by a number of questions. You will hear the
conversations and the questions on a recording; they are not written in your
test book. You must choose the best answer to each question from the four
choices that are written in your test book.
The
conversations are often about some aspect of school (how difficult a class is,
how to write a research paper, how to register for a course) or about general
liv ing (renting an apartment, playing sports, going to the bank). The
conversations can also be about topics currently in the news in the United
States (desalination of the water supply, recycling of used products, damage
from a storm or some other type of natural phenomenon).
