SOME TIPS TO IMPROVE TOEIC SPEAKING PART 5 (PROPOSE A SOLUTION)
1. Follow a fixed structure every time
A stable template helps you speak confidently.
Recommended structure:
- Greeting + acknowledgment
- Repeat the problem briefly
- Give 2–3 practical solutions
- Close politely
2. Summarize the problem in 1 short sentence
Do not repeat the entire prompt.
✔ “You said customers are complaining about long waiting times.”
❌ “I heard that many customers said that they have been waiting for a very long time and…”
Short + clear = more time for solutions.
3. Always give two solutions
TOEIC wants multiple suggestions.
Example solutions:
- Call someone
- Send an email
- Extend business hours
- Offer discounts
- Hire temporary staff
- Move the meeting
- Order replacement parts
Giving 2 solutions is enough for a high score.
4. Use simple, safe, business-friendly vocabulary
You don’t need complex words.
Examples:
- “I recommend…”
- “It would be helpful to…”
- “One option is to…”
- “Another solution is to…
