inform 8 / 21 Jun 1, 2012 #1Favorite Book :-This is a short essay. This is for TOEFL speaking section with time limit 45 secs. So request you to give your ideas. Check if it is short , if grammar is correct , whether flow or ideas are proper.--My favorite book is Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. I like this book because it is written in simple English.Firstly, this book is easy to understand as written in lucid English. I could finish reading the whole books in just one day.Secondly, this book includes a story of three students in a college and I like to read about college students as it reminds me to my college days. Some incidents like ragging are humorously portrayed in the book.Thirdly, the book is written in such a fashion that I was always inquisitive to know about the next chapter. I was so much absorbed in the book that I ended up reading it for the whole day continuously.These are the reasons why this book is my favorite book.Words : 132 ( Just for your reference ).---PS : My ending does not include words like :"In the end/ To conclude" due to time limit. I need to be direct.
ana_p 27 / 81 Jun 1, 2012 #2Sounds Good...:)I can understand about time. I would suggest, it will be better if you practice by recording instead of writing. You will know about your flow, speaking speed and pronunciation. I think above ideas are perfect and sufficient for 45sec.Hope this helps:)Good Luck!Thanks,Ana.
