Here is a sample question for speaking three of the TOEFL iBT. Follow the instructions carefully. If you are unsure about how to answer this question then have a look at this video first. Good luck.
1) Read the following announcement about planned changes to the on campus bar. Take notes about the changes and the reasons given for them. You have 45 seconds reading time.
On campus bar to be closed earlier on weekends
As of the beginning of Semester two, the on campus student bar will close at the earlier time of 10 p.m. rather than midnight on weekends. This decision has been made for some important reasons. Recently, there have been several attacks on young women as they have been returning to their dormitories at midnight. As the internal bus services stops at 10.15 p.m. we feel that it is safer to close the bar at 10 p.m. to make sure that all students can return safely to their dorms by bus. There have also been several serious acts of vandalism on campus. They have all occurred after midnight and we feel that closing the bar early will prevent silly drunken pranks from ending in criminal offenses.
2) Now listen to two students talking about the plan. Take notes about what they think.
