★ Precautions before TOEFL speaking test

1. The complete answer is very important, 45 seconds, 60 seconds.

Because of the limited examination time, candidates have less than six minutes to speak. Therefore, it is a very basic ability to spend all your time on answering questions and leave a good impression on the raters. Never leave a blank time of more than 5 seconds at the end of the answer.

2. Open ending, high score.

Many times, candidates can't grasp the time when they talk about the last reason and detail, or they can't hear the last detail in the listening article at all. According to the answer given by ETS officials, the examiner will give a score and add: The speaker has the ability to talk about it, but there is not enough time. Therefore, the open ending can fish in troubled waters instead of leaving a blank.

3. There is a head and a tail, and there is a structure.

TOEFL pays attention to logic, so when answering questions, candidates must pay attention to adding related words and transitional words that indicate logic, such as signal words, for example, first, second, to begin and so on. In a few seconds before the end of the recording, the answer has been completed several times. Remember to add a sentence about it, or, thank you. Remember to have a structure from beginning to end.

4. Read this article for clues.

The third and fourth questions of TOEFL oral English are reading articles and listening articles at the same time, and the test center finally falls on listening articles, so many candidates will ignore reading articles. The main part of the article will explain two reasons or a reason and a result of the incident, and the listening article will discuss these two points. Read the article in question 4 to find the explanation of academic proper nouns.

5. Piece together the details, lose less and win more.

Listening to the content of the article in the sixth question of spoken English is generally difficult. Many students chose to give up without understanding the framework and structure of the article. They didn't answer any questions in the sixth question. Remember, because the topic is too difficult, it will tilt when grading, so remember to piece together the details as much as possible.

6. Use the topic to find clues.

If you don't read the article on the sixth question of oral English and the listening article is long, candidates will feel that they can't hear the two key points and the structure of the article. At this time, don't ignore the stem of the topic. Usually there is an obvious article framework in the stem of the sixth question, which is two key points.

7. Examples tell details and experiments tell data.

★ Precautions before TOEFL reading test

1. Use the buttons on the computer screen skillfully.

Here, I would like to remind candidates that TOEFL has two buttons that are often ignored by candidates, to review and view the text. The first button can be used to check the questions that you have missed or forgotten, and the second button can be used to browse the full text and grasp the main meaning and central sentence pattern when summarizing the prose.

You can take notes on appropriate topics.

There will be three special draft papers for the TOEFL test. Students can record important information on the draft paper when doing a single topic, such as sentence simplification, to avoid low-level mistakes such as fainting and misreading.

3. Examine the questions carefully and see the problems clearly.

Different types of TOEFL questions have different order and ways to do them. First of all, students should carefully look at what the question is, such as whether there are words like hint or hint, because the answer to this inference question will not appear directly in the original text. There is a difference between factual information and negative factual information.

★ Precautions before TOEFL writing test

1. Read the questions carefully and practice patience when doing them.

Reading the content of a good topic is more helpful to TOEFL's next writing. Try to think about the wonderful articles gathered by gorgeous usage and advanced vocabulary in the exam. It turns out that writing is off topic! If we can carefully read the implied information such as time or place implied in the topic in just twenty or thirty seconds before, this situation will never happen.

This requires not to write blindly and directly, but to be patient. Especially in comprehensive writing, you should read the three-minute article carefully, make corresponding notes and compare it with the following listening content, otherwise the listening points will be vague and confusing to remember.

Conceptual writing template

Although it is not recommended to use templates used by others, you must form your own writing style in the process of preparing for the exam, and you can sort out some templates according to different topics. The day before the exam, you can go through it all.

In terms of conception, both comprehensive and independent writing advocate: the first paragraph+the reason paragraph+the end, but the reason paragraph is slightly different.

Comprehensive writing reasons paragraph: three viewpoints correspond to three refuting or supporting viewpoints.

Reasons for writing independently: two or three paragraphs are acceptable, and the scope of conception can be developed around the idea of PECTS (people/pressure/environment/economy/culture/communication/technology/time/learning) as a brainstorming. At the same time, if you string these ideas into a paragraph in the reason paragraph, you can elaborate them in five ways: reason mining, quasi-theme-free, comparison, fact argumentation and example supplement.

3. Organize words and sentence patterns

Flexible and changeable language will enrich your composition and leave a deep impression on the examiner. For example, he is good at using advanced sentence patterns such as inversion, emphasis, attributive clauses and non-predicates. It will add color to your TOEFL writing. Sort out some high-scoring sentences, no matter what kind of topic you can use.
