Speaking and writing TOEFL® topics list

[Yassin]

Hi everybody,

It is left six days before taking TOEFL test. I am a bit confused because this is the

first time i take this exam in its new version. If someone has just taken the test,

please give me some advice. It would be kind of you if you tell me about some

speaking and writing topics. As well, how was your experience.

Thanks in advance.

Bye

Hi Yassin!

You should speak with your friends or family and you must give up studying on longman IBT which is really poor for the exam.You can study on Cambridge listening and you may develop your skills still.At least you can be familiar with listening questions if you focus Cambridge book.

In the exam I have asked 39 questions in reading section.I think it was really good and easy and I can say that longman's reading section is similiar with toefl's.In section 2 I have asked 51 questions and it was terrible and boring.It had nothing to do with Longman's.After section 2 I had a break time about ten mins then I started the exam again.Speaking section was not really hard actually some people could not talk with computer but I could.You dont need to be afraid to this section and the last section was terrible again because I could not understand reading part so I could not write easily my first essay.Finally in the end of exam you will be asked some questions which are about the exam as a survey then you can go out.

This exam is really difficult and takes 4-4,30 hours but again ı say that you dont need to be afraid this exam.If you study hard,you will be able to pass it.Good luck
