TOEFL SPEAKING TASK 5: THE WOMAN DIDN'T SLEEP WELL LAST NIGHT BUT SHE HAS A PRESENTATION TODAY
Man:
How is it going, Mary? Weren’t you away this past weekend?
Woman:
Yeah. I flew out to see my family in Boston for the weekend. Just got back from the airport actually, what a mess! My flight was delayed several hours because of bad weather.
Man:
Oh. Yeah. There was that big storm out east. huh?
Woman:
Right. So I was at the airport like all night waiting for my flight to leave. I am supposed to arrive back to campus last night. But instead, I got in early this morning.

Man:
Oh.
Woman:

Man:
Well, if you feel okay with that.
Woman:
Well, I am definitely tired. I wouldn’t as quick or sharp as I normally am, but I’ve got an hour to go over my notes and the coffee ...
