Is it necessary to explain the reading passage in one or two sentences or should we start with the women or men's opinion right away and then state the change and the opinion together? I am asking because many instructors says students should not spend time stating what the reading passage says, it is a waste of time and they only want you to focus on the opinion expressed. Other instructors say the opposite.
At the end of the sample response the student gives her personal opinion about the proposal. As far I am concerned, in this type of question you need to convey information from two sources and report it, staying the student's opinion (agrees/disagrees) in the conversation and his/her reasons for holding that opinion. You cannot say your personal opinion because this is not what the task ask you to do. In this question you must work as a "reporter".Also.......what about the case in which the student has mixed opinions?. I have taken the test before an had a question in which the student agrees with one of the reasons for the change and disagrees with the other reason.
This video is not showing the full response of the student, you can find this example with the full conversation in the ETS page, under "free speaking practice set"
I have an issue with the response. The man did not talk about historic significance or wastage of money. But the response covered these points as the reason for holding the point. Is that valid?
I did this example when i was studying, and if you look carefully in the "listening" audio tape bar, this video is not showing the full response of the student. The student in fact, talks about the historical value of the old building. You can find this example in the ETS page, under "free speaking practice set", or in the free test prep planner.
@@felipebarrera3060 the original lecture was talking about how the auditorium is one of the oldest buildings related to the university and was supposed to be preserved and not destructed for new one.
