TOEFL requires candidates to prepare for the following aspects:
1, enough vocabulary.
If your vocabulary does not exceed 8000, your TOEFL score will not reach 100. Lack of vocabulary has three major hazards. First of all, reading vocabulary problems in the exam will lead to a lot of loss of points. Second, not taking effective listening notes will not only affect your listening performance, but also affect your comprehensive writing and speaking. Third, there is a lack of synonyms. Reusing the same word in writing and speaking will lower your score. These problems are common among senior high school students, whose self-study and self-control abilities are relatively weak.
2. pass the grammar.
In the past, we always mentioned "dumb English" and constantly attacked the traditional grammar teaching. Now the younger generation has gone to the other extreme-"semi-illiterate" English-listening and speaking is not a problem, reading is hardly enough, and writing is poor (poor grammar), which is why more and more people ask low-level questions, such as is TOEFL difficult? Mainly reflected in two aspects: when reading, all the words are in one sentence, or you still don't understand the meaning of this sentence; When writing, I memorized a lot of advanced vocabulary, but I couldn't write an article. Because the word is like "flour" and the grammar is "water", it becomes "dough" when kneaded together.
3. Combination of intensive listening and extensive listening.
The importance of listening practice is reflected in three of the four TOEFL items: listening, comprehensive oral English and comprehensive writing. Listening can never be improved in one day and one night, because the essence of listening is "intensive listening" rather than "extensive listening". The failure of listening practice is the result of wearing headphones all day without any progress. There are also some students who have good autonomous listening ability. They may have overseas experience or often communicate with foreign teachers. If they don't pay attention to their notes, the results of listening will not be recorded.
