Six skills
1 module test questions should be selected from the computer test interface.
According to Zhang Hongwei, director of the North American Examination Project Department of Beijing New Oriental School, because the new TOEFL test is implemented by relying on the computer network, it is best for candidates to do the online version of the test questions when choosing the simulation questions, which is the same as or close to the computer test interface, because this will help candidates to be familiar with the interface, keyboard, grasp the time and switch from the paper-and-pencil test. Doing two or three sets of simulation questions in the environment of computer examination interface is beneficial for candidates to adapt to the examination rhythm and environment. Like the real new TOEFL online test, candidates can choose according to their own needs. During the period before the exam, candidates need to do 2 to 5 sets of fully computerized simulation questions, and then prepare for further review according to the questions.
Trick 1: Longman comprehensive course has a CD-ROM with two sets of module questions, which are basically the same as the interface of the new TOEFL computer test. Candidates can find and do it. In addition, the charging test questions on ETS (Education Examination Service) official website are exactly the same as the formal test questions, and the time, status and on-site experience are exactly the same. After the candidates pay tens of dollars, within 5 days after completing this set of module questions, ETS new TOEFL examiners will give a report, pointing out the existing problems of the candidates. Koolearn.com also launched two sets of simulation questions on this website, the price is much cheaper than that on ets official website, each set of 60 yuan.
2 sudden listening is the key to the increase in scores.
Candidates' listening ability must be very strong, and it is absolutely not difficult to get high marks. The new TOEFL test pays more attention to communication, combining listening, speaking, reading and writing to test candidates' comprehensive English (Q bar) ability. In fact, three of the four parts of the exam are listening. First of all, the listening part is more difficult, and the past small dialogues have been changed into long dialogues and long paragraphs, so candidates are required to have a particularly strong listening level. Secondly, there are six problems in spoken English. Questions 1 and 2 ask candidates some simple topics, such as "Describe what the city you live in is like". The last four questions in spoken English are all related to listening. According to the questions you heard, you can see that listening accounts for a particularly large proportion. Third, part of writing is called "comprehensive writing". Read an article first, then listen to another article, and then summarize and write according to what you have read and heard, which truly combines reading, listening and writing, making the exam more scientific. In the final review process, if the examinee's listening comprehension is weak, he must be guided by the model test questions, be familiar with the environment and strengthen listening training, which will also improve in a short time.
Tip 2: The exam often tests some campus scene dialogues and academic jokes of various subjects. The official guide to the new TOEFL test published by ETS has clearly explained the content and types of listening tests, and candidates can read through the questions in the book.
3 vocabulary cauldron rice do a general review
TOEFL requires candidates to have a large vocabulary, which is entirely for reading. Because nearly 1/3 of the questions in reading are vocabulary questions, each article will have four questions to examine lexical synonyms and synonyms, accounting for a considerable proportion. Candidates with large vocabulary are more popular.
Tip 3: The importance of vocabulary is beyond doubt. Typing is the key to displaying a large number of vocabulary. You should practice typing quickly and accurately, and you must not be careless in spelling.
Learn to remember the main points with simple symbols.
Because the new TOEFL test is conducted on the computer interface, it is impossible to draw key points and take notes on the test questions, so candidates must develop the habit of taking notes and the ability to take notes quickly. The recording of the listening test is only a few minutes, and in this process, candidates can't see the questions, and candidates may understand them, but there are many important details in the questions that must be recorded, so that they can be sure when answering questions. Therefore, in listening, we should "play hard" to take notes and learn to remember the main points with simple symbols. Four of the six listening readings are lecture notes, all of which are five or six minutes long. What you thought you could remember, in the end you actually forgot. So whether it's useful or not, listen and remember. The last four questions in the oral part also depend on taking notes, because these questions all ask what you heard and then relay it, so that if you take notes well, candidates can look at the notes and answer them, and nine times out of ten they will be right. Notes can also be used in written form. Write down the main points you hear and find out the corresponding points, so that writing is not a problem.
Tip 4: Candidates can quickly form their own set of notes by practicing for a week 10 days, and there are many shortcuts to take. For example, the upward arrow indicates rapid development, the downward arrow indicates declining performance, and there are many abbreviations. Candidates can invent some symbols according to their own habits.
5 practice anti-interference answering questions in advance
Candidates should practice answering oral questions in a disturbing environment during this period. Because the candidates in the same examination room answer questions at different speeds, sometimes when many people are still watching, some people begin to listen. Such interference is inevitable. Start practicing answering questions in a noisy environment now, and be sure to make the answer clear. Record the first two questions for 45 seconds, and the second question for 60 seconds. Therefore, candidates should also practice the ability to express their views and attitudes on a question in one minute and exercise the organizational ability of language logic in a short time.
Tip 5: Candidates must look at the answers. There are some points in the middle of the beginning and the end, so that the examiner will think that you are very good, and you are very logical and complete in a short time, and your score is definitely not low.
6 Calculate the final "deadline" in advance
Because the new TOEFL is a computer test, candidates lack great autonomy in the allocation of test time. Therefore, it is very important to plan the examination time and learn to do the questions under the pressure of time limit. For example, a reading must be completed within 20 minutes, an oral topic must not be overtime within 45 seconds, and writing is the same, and it must be completed within 30 minutes. Do several sets of computer simulation questions, and candidates can adapt if they do them completely according to time.
Trick 6: For example, if the oral test record is just 45 seconds, the examiner can't hear anything if it is missed. Therefore, when practicing simulation questions, we should set a final "deadline" for ourselves. How many seconds before the oral exam, you must open your mouth and how many minutes before you can write.
