		<description>Thi:

I just went to www.michaelbuckhoffnewsletter.com and counted 14 videos! I broke the 2 hour and 21 minute video into six videos so that it will be easier to get access to the information.
You need to see that speaking video ASAP, so go to the homepage and click on the hyperlinked text below the heading titled &quot;Bonus Content.&quot;

Let me know if you have any other trouble viewing the videos.

		<description>Vivian:

In some videos I posted at my TOEFL iBT Newsletter at http://www.michaelbuckhoff.com/newsletter.html, I addressed this very question.   Moreover, the speaking video I posted at 
http://www.michaelbuckhoff.com/newsletter.html covers this topic in a little of over 30 minutes of instruction.  To answer this question briefly, I will say one word: practice!

You need to practice speaking and regularly recording your voice as you complete independent speaking tasks.  Soon enough, you will be able to give an organized speech with adequate supporting details in about 45 seconds. It is possible, and I teach many TOEFLers who score above 26/30 on the speaking section.  You too can be one of them.

Now subscribe to my TOEFL iBT Newsletter so you can learn an effective study plan to help you score high on the speaking: http://www.michaelbuckhoff.com/newsletter.html  

Happy TOEFLing!
