Topic: “Describe a successful person”
Dear Luschen;
Hi. This is my first voice message about one of the Toefl topics. Please evaluate this speaking practice.
Thanks
Topic: “Describe a successful person”
Hi Ati, I am sorry, but I am having difficulty understanding your message. I think it is a combination of your microphone and your speech. You seem to be speaking in a constant monotone and sort of mumbling instead of pronouncing each word clearly. Like, I said, it might be the microphone - maybe you are too close to it when you are speaking or there was too much background noise, but I can only understand about every third word.
dear Luschen Hi;
I try to remove those problems at the previous message. I hope this one is enough clear. Thanks of all your helps
This message has this topic: “Which brings you the greatest happiness: good relationships or good health?”
What I am speaking is the following passage;
I think both of them, namely good relationships and good health, are very important to bring somebody happiness and relaxation… maybe to the same extent… I think these two categories are directly related and are not separated… Undoubtedly without health a person is not able to establish positive relationships with others. For example when a person has a severe headache the only thing that, at time, he feels is to be alone. Not only this person is able to have a good relationship with someone, but also he may unintentionally upset others in this condition. In addition, having good relationships with others improves a person’s spirit and his health condition. So, I think both health and good relationships are important in bringing happiness and enjoyment of the life, to the same degree.
dear Mr. Lushen this is my third voice message. please evaluate this too. Thanks a lot.
topic:" Describe a place where you feel very happy, and explain why."
I am talking following passage:
If I am wanted to describe a place where I feel very happy, I should say the dorm… the dorm of professors and instructors that I am a member of that. I like this place very much because I can see my colleagues there at the free time. When we are at the dining room we usually speak about many different issues and sometime we share useful information about our majors together. I really have fun time there. For example at the evenings we go out the dorm and play badminton in the yard or pick fruits and vegetables from the garden, such as berry, pepper, and lemon. Sometimes students knock the door and want to enter and pick fruits. But most of the time they face their angry professors. Beside these, this place is really quite and I am comfortable in my private room and I can concentrate to my works without any distraction, or easily I can get rest when I am free. So, when I am at the dorm I am very relax and happy.
Very good!
Thank you
This is a step ahead
Salam dear Luschen;
How are you? I hope you are well and happy :). Could you please evaluate these two speaking practices? Thanks a lot.
First one has this topic:“Explain how birthdays are celebrated in your country. Use specific examples and details in your explanation”. I am speaking following passage:
We celebrate birthdays of our family members, relatives and our friends like what is done in many countries all over the world. We sometimes give a party, buy a gift, sing the birthday song,… congratulate his birthday and if we were very close to him even try to buy a birthday cake too. For example in birthday of my nephew I usually buy for him a toy. So, we celebrate birthdays like many other nations.
and the second has this topic: “Some students would rather write a paper than take a test. Other students would rather take a test instead of writing a paper. Which option do you prefer and why?”. what I am speaking is the following passage;
In the experimental courses or the ones which need a significant amount of researches I prefer to write a paper instead of taking a test, for example in the physics or chemistry laboratory courses. I think in such courses taking a test is not a good idea and the students should be asked to write a paper as a combination of what they’ve learned and what they’ve researched during their courses and, at final, their grades just would be based on these papers.
Thanks again;
my thoughts
Hi;
How are u? I hope you are good and lively as you always seem
Mr. Luschen my first speaking practice has this topic: “A possession is an object that you own. If you asked to choose one possession that you prize highly, which one would you choose? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.”
What I’m speaking is the following passage;
I will definitely choose to have a vast and equipped electronic library. I prefer the electronic type because it is more accessible than any other library and I think choosing books are so easy and convenient. Also, I could carry my library everywhere I go and I always can have access to an unlimited source of knowledge. So, I think the best possession is a vast digital library.
My second practice has this topic; “Some people enjoy living in a location that has a warm climate all year. Other people like to live in a place where the seasons change. Which type of climate do you prefer and why? Use specific reasons an examples to support your opinion.”
and I am speaking the following passage :);
I prefer to live in a location with four seasons. So, I can experience the strange and unique features of each season separately. For example I can see blooming the trees in the spring or I can enjoy watching leaves falling in the fall…the dance of dead leaves with the wind…or watching rain in the winter. Besides, I can benefit from different features of each season, for example I can enjoy from swimming in the summer or skiing in the winter.
Sincerely thank you for everything.
Hi Ati65, your recording does not work for me - I only hear the first 4 seconds or so - I am not sure what happened.
Good answer!
Dear All,
I would like to know if the JAVA which I downloaded it works. If it works please inform me so that I can communicate with forum members.
Thank you.
Martha
Yes, we can hear your voice message.
Hi Martha;
I listened to your voice message. It is just about a few seconds and is not complete. It seems the Java program that you’ve downloaded works well but maybe when you were recording your voice a problem occurred, or maybe just the server didn’t work well… I don’t know what exactly was the problem! I propose you to record again I will listen to it and will tell you about the quality of your message.
Dear Luschen;
Hi;
I want to answer this question. “Some people believe that the best way to succeed is to set goals and work hard to achieve them. Other people think that hard work is not as important as good luck. Which point of view do you think is true and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.”. Could you please listen to my voice message and evaluate this? Thanks a lot :).
What I am speaking is the following passage:
I think success has two important keys; setting goals and then trying hard to reach them. There is a famous saying among Iranians that “someone who hasn’t made a lot of efforts can’t make wealth”. For example, a student, who spends whole his time in asleep and at leisure, definitely could not make any achievement in educational field. So for each types of success, having goals and defining ways toward these goals and making enough endeavors are necessary.
Mr. Luschen, this is that one practice speaking that you could just heard a bit of it. I am recording that one again :), with this topic “A possession is an object that you own. If you asked to choose one possession that you prize highly, which one would you choose? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.”
What I’m speaking is the following passage;
I will definitely choose to have a vast and equipped electronic library. I prefer the electronic type because it is more accessible than any other library and I think choosing books are so easy and convenient. Also, I could carry my library everywhere I go and I always can have access to an unlimited source of knowledge. So, I think the best possession is a vast digital library.
Thank you for giving your time to me :);
Thank you very much for your advise. Let me try to record again and make a comment.
Thank you
