Let's talk about TOEFL®

[Timothy Tu]

Hi, Great English WebSite!

Thank you for providing the rich english materials to us. I'm Chinese, I got to know your web site recently from a english news. I got many help from your web.

I want to take Toefl on Noverber this year. Can you give me some suggestions? where can I find the Listening Toefl freely?

Dear Timothy Tu,

Many thanks for your positive feedback. So, you are taking the TOEFL test this November and want to prepare for the listening section. As you know the TOEFL assesses your overall listening comprehension which means you should listen to authentic English audio sources every day. People often think that there are specific materials that prepare you for a specific test. If that were the case all you had to do would be to purchase those courses, complete all the exercises and you would be prepared for the test. However, tests like the TOEFL or the TOEIC are designed to establish your command of the English language. So, it follows that any English language training activity you engage in will increase your level of English and thereby your chances to score high on the TOEFL or TOEIC.

Do you have access to English language TV or radio? For example, have you tried listening to the BBC through the Internet? What about DVD's? Can you get them from a library? Also, you might want to purchase audio materials — it's a good investment into your future. Let me know what you think and we can talk about it here.

Hi Vivien,

Thanks a lot for giving us some tips on how to improve our English. As you know learning a language means to establish a certain set of habits. For example, in English the personal pronoun I is always spelled with a capital «I» and the personal pronoun «you» has three letters. Please, do stick to some basic rules when you participate in our forum because there are many people reading your texts and you want to expose them to proper English, don't you?
