TOEFL Listening Part A - Skill 6: Agreement

 

TOEFL Listening Part A
SKILL 6: AGREEMENT
 
Expressions of agreement are common in Listening Part A, so you should become familiar with them. The following example shows agreement with a positive statement.

Example
On the recording, you hear:
    (man)       : I thought that the meal was overpriced. 
    (woman)  :  Me, too
    (narrator) : What does the woman mean?
In your test book, you read:
    (A) There were too many spices in the meat.
    (B) She has the same opinion of the meal as the man.
    (C) She wants to share the man’s meal.
    (D) The price of the meal was great.

The expression me, too shows agreement with a positive statement, so the woman means that she has the same opinion as the man. The best answer is therefore answer (B).
 
The following chart lists common expressions that show agreement. You should become familiar with these expressions.
