What is the best way to prepare to TOEFL® Test?

[Donisha]

Hi,

I got started to prepare to TOEFL-Test, but by lookingat that big book, I get a headacke. Maybe just because I cant start with this book?

IS there anyone of you who could share his or her thoughts by giving some tipps how to learn to use the preparation book (even there are some tipps in book itself, but I wanted you to give me some advise).

Every respond will be appreciated.

Hello,

Maybe you should stop making spelling mistakes before sitting for the actual test.

Best regards

I mean that you have to know the correct spelling of words.

Another advice, don't rely solely on the book, diversify your sources - listen to the radio (in English, of course), watch English programmes on the TV, read in English, think in English...

Hope that helps.

I think it is not enough to be fit in englishjust by surrounding myself with english language related things liek TVs, Radios post its

An example for it is the student who studied the foreign languag at University for 5 years and couldn't udnerstand even a whole sentence as he arrived in an english-speaking country.

He thought the language he learned seemed to be not the same he heard of native speaker then.

I just want to find a solution of this issue improving my English without having the opportunity of surrounding myself with live English.

I know people, who has gained experience by working with native speakers without any test or smth.

Sometimes I think the test are not the only prove of the knowledge at all.

Are u agree with me?

Yes, I agree with you. Tests don't always show real knowledge.

The only effective way to learn a way is practising it.
