I am a junior high school student. I want to study in America. Do I have to take the TOEFL test? How to learn TOEFL?
The new TOEFL test consists of four parts, namely reading, listening, speaking and writing. The full score of each part is 30 points, and the full score of all the questions is 120. ? 1. Reading: There are three articles? Different from the old TOEFL, candidates do not need to read the full text before answering the questions, but read the articles in sections during the process of doing the questions. Each article has 1 1 questions, all of which are multiple-choice questions. Except for the last question, all the other questions are aimed at a certain part of the article, and the order of the questions is consistent with the order of the paragraphs in the article. The last question is a question about the whole article, asking candidates to choose several options to summarize or summarize the whole article. The length of the new generation of TOEFL reading articles is slightly longer than that of the old version, and the difficulty is also increased. The duration of this section is 1 hour, during which candidates can review and modify the submitted answers. ? Second, listening: canceled the short dialogue? It consists of two long campus situational dialogues and four classroom speeches, each lasting about 5 minutes. Because it is a computer test, candidates can't know the test questions before listening to the recorded materials. When playing the recorded data, the corresponding background picture will be displayed on the computer screen. Candidates can take notes while listening. Candidates cannot review and modify the submitted answers. This part lasts about 50 minutes. ? Listening ability is undoubtedly the key to the success of the new TOEFL. Except reading, no matter which part is inseparable from "listening". Listening is a weak link for candidates in China. At present, one of the effective ways for China candidates to improve their listening comprehension is "listening writing", that is, listening attentively to relevant listening materials and writing down what they have heard sentence by sentence. There are also software specially used to practice the new TOEFL dictation, such as the new TOEFL dictation king software. One disadvantage of "listening writing" in improving listening comprehension is that it may be time-consuming at first. ? 3. talk: put TSE (test? Yes? Spoken language? English) into the new TOEFL. ? But compared with the current TSE, it has changed a lot. There are 6 questions in this section * * *, and the duration is about 20 minutes. ? The first and second questions require candidates to explain their views on a topic. ? Questions 3 and 4 require candidates to read a short passage within 45 seconds, then hide the short passage and play a dialogue or class speech related to the short passage. Finally, candidates are asked to answer relevant questions according to the short passages they read before and the dialogues or classroom speeches they play. Candidates have 30 seconds to prepare and then 60 seconds to answer. For example, the article describes two plans to expand the school gymnasium. In the dialogue, a classmate explained his position, that is, which scheme is in favor of and which scheme is against, and listed several reasons. Ask the examinee to describe his/her position in the dialogue and explain what reasons he/she cited to support this view. ? Questions 5 and 6 require candidates to listen to a campus situational dialogue or classroom speech, and then answer related questions. Candidates have 20 seconds to prepare and then 60 seconds to answer questions. For example, first broadcast a lecture on marketing, the professor lists two methods of market research, and then ask candidates to describe the two methods of market research listed by the professor with the viewpoints and examples in the lecture. ? Candidates can take notes during listening to help answer questions. When preparing and answering questions, a countdown clock will be displayed on the screen. ? 4. Writing requires candidates to complete two compositions within 1 hour. ? One of them is similar to the old TOEFL, which requires candidates to explain their views on a topic within 30 minutes, and requires more than 300 words. ? The other requires candidates to read an article first. After five minutes, the article disappears and the lecture related to the article is played. The lecture notes list some arguments to refute the arguments and arguments in the article. Then ask the candidates to write a composition within 20 minutes, summarize the arguments and arguments of the class speech, and state how these arguments and arguments refute the arguments and arguments of the article. The required number of words is between 150 and 225 words. When writing, the article will reappear on the screen. This composition does not require candidates to elaborate their views. ? Fifth, try again? In the general practical examination, candidates often encounter additional questions in listening or reading, or both reading and listening may be added at the same time. The extra test part is not counted (some people say that they can count points and say that they will draw several questions to give points), but candidates don't know which part is the extra test part in advance (sometimes the classic extra test can be judged), so they should take it seriously.
