2019-03-25 TOEFL: tests

Homework (optional): If you want more feedback than a score and one sentence, email me this weekend with your own self-evaluations of your writings from today. What did you do well? What do you need to work on for next time? Did you do anything better or worse than your last writing for me? You can use the official score guide at https://www.ets.org/s/toefl/pdf/toefl_writing_rubrics.pdf to give you ideas.

Discuss difficult reading questions.
6 - purpose - B - The paragraph is about frontality. That’s why the functions of Egyptian statuary are discussed. Architecural settings explain “other statues” from the ones in temples and for rituals.
20 - fact - C (A and B describe the same situation, so they’re both incorrect. The first sentence of the paragraph talks about “the time they would normally have begun migration in the wild”)
32 - fact - B (The high-frequency sounds from ground-nesting birds “do not travel as far”, meaning the ones from the trees can be heard from farther away.)
