TOEFL iBT January 24, 2016: Speaking Task 5 @aalaeeTOEFLiBT
In this conversation, the woman is facing a problem; the man was supposed to drive her and accompany her to watch a play, but the man realized that he still got one class to go at the last minute, so there would be no one to drive her to the play.
So here are two solutions for her. The first one is that the woman can drive the man’s car by herself. Another solution is the woman can take a public transportation.
I think the woman should definitely choose the first solution because it’s such an exhausting thing to take a bus, which may cause her a lot of energy and time and most importantly, it is not the cool thing to do.

TOEFL iBT January 24, 2016: Speaking Task 6 @aalaeeTOEFLiBT
In the lecture, the professor talks about the contributions of railroad to America and gives two examples to illustrate it.
The first example is that the business could sell their products to a further place and get more revenue. Like in the past, the business which sold clocks could only sell its clocks to local people. Overtime, with the expansion of railroad, the business could deliver their clocks to the entire country and sell to more people.
Another example is to make it possible to transport raw materials like coal. In the south of America, there were no factories due to lack of coals because factories needed energy provided by coals. With the expansion of railroad and coal utilization, which could transport coal from other regions to the south, more and more factories could be built up there.

ANALOGY (n.) and ANALOGOUS (adj
A similarity or likeness
Did you know that for most of its history, the GRE included a number of ANALOGY questions? For example, students were asked to see the ANALOGY or similarity between a tree and a forest and a star and a galaxy. The ANALOGY is that a tree is part of a forest in the same way that a star is part of a galaxy. Although the ETS test writers removed analogies, they still expect students to recognize analogies in readings. Don't let the phrase "is most ANALOGOUS to" confuse you. The question is asking you to identify a situation or example that is most similar to the one in the reading passage.
Quick Quiz
