Manage episode 316930383 series 3266959
Top tips for TOEFL
Reading and Listening
· Get used to the computer-based test, especially the 10 question types for reading and listening.
Use TEDtalks for listening practice. TED.com is a great resource for three reasons:
· It’s got lots, and lots of materials.
· It’s free.
· There’s an interactive transcript.
These three reasons make it the single best resource for leaning in English on the Internet.
Speaking
· Practice audio-recording your speaking with the strict time limit.
· And learn to maximize the time in speaking.
Writing
· Practice writing essays that follow the standard format for each type of writing.
· And learn to touch-type so that you can write faster on the laptop, and thereby write a long and more accurate essay.
Grammar
· For higher scores in writing and speaking, learn how to use complex sentence structures including dependent clauses, adjective clauses, and prepositional phrases.
· Learn how to show the connections between your ideas by using linking and reference words.
Sleep quality and well-being
· Understand that anxiety is normal when taking tests.
· Sleep well every night of the week before your test.
· This will be easier if you make time for 30-minutes of intense exercise every day.
