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:

Man:
Oh. Yeah. There was that big storm out east. huh?
Woman:

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 ...
