Immigrants from Li Xiaolai

It was written by Mark, the winner of 1 12. I didn't write it ~

First, prepare

1, reference book

OG: The whole is simple, and the guidance of the reading part is worth reading, which helps to understand the questioner's thinking.

△: Listening is just difficult, but speaking and writing are difficult (sometimes there are no clear three points, but there will be clear three points in the real exam). Reading is long enough but simple.

Li Xiaolai 185 Full Score Composition: The quality of the articles is uneven, so it is not recommended to read them all.

TOEFL reading topic 100 (old support): The article is relatively short and can be used as an introductory exercise.

Vocabulary book: Words are recorded by classification, Wang's, and basically all the words on the market will do.

2. Classification

1) reading

Personal experience is to read a paragraph and do a few questions, and then read a paragraph and do a few questions, because there is no order of questions, and TOEFL articles are generally modular and simple in structure, and most arguments will appear at the beginning or end of each paragraph.

The way to practice is to do more questions. After finishing, analyze each question, why the choice is wrong or why it is right, and find clear clues in the article.

2) Listen

There are two ways to listen. One is to listen attentively, not take notes, and then answer questions from memory. Another way is to bury your head in rote learning and finally answer the questions in your notes. It is recommended that the trunk listen carefully and remember the details carefully.

There will be some obvious test sites in listening, which XDF also said. For example, there are pauses, stutters, long syllables, students asking questions and so on. Take notes when you hear this.

If you are determined, you can practice listening and copying and listen to a silent sentence. Listen to 10 national geography in a down-to-earth manner, and your strength will be improved immediately. If you can't find the material, it's also good to listen to Delta's listening jokes.

Method of taking notes: consider a set of your own symbols. For example, the antagonistic relationship is >: < It means "important" with a five-pointed star, which can improve the speed of notes. But if you do this, you must practice before the exam, otherwise you may slow down because you are unfamiliar.

3) Oral English

Preparing templates is a popular method. Prepare your favorite books, personal hobbies and favorite subjects. With the template, the first and second questions are almost in the bag. The arguments of the last four questions are basically clear. Just remember the details carefully, and there are basically certain patterns when answering. You can recite the template if you are not confident.

You can refer to the 185 question bank for preparation. Basically, the first two questions in oral English can't escape from this range.

When practicing oral English, I recommend sitman Repetition Software (which can be downloaded online) to record your own voice and compare it with the ideal situation.

There is also listening and speaking more. Watching American TV shows such as Friends and PB (I watched Friends twice before the exam) is helpful for listening and speaking. The suggestion is to watch some movies you have seen before, otherwise you will be easily attracted by the plot. You can use this adjustment when you are depressed in reading and writing.

4) Composition

There are templates for small compositions, and the arguments for real exams are clear. Just put it in the template step by step. The feeling of a big composition is that the more the better. Type hard when you see the composition topic. Basically, the TOEFL composition is also modeled. The first paragraph throws out arguments, and then the structure hints at what to say later. The second, third and fourth paragraphs are respectively elaborated and illustrated with examples. Finally, I have time to summarize it with the ending paragraph, echoing before and after.

Second, before the exam

1. Full-time problem

The preparation period cannot be full-time, and it is not cost-effective to abolish TOEFL for one or two months. But it should be a week before the exam. Let the body have enough time to adapt to the biological clock of the exam and find the feeling of the exam through the model exam.

2. Model test

Book module test: it is recommended to do DELTA and other book module tests in advance. On the one hand, find out what it feels like to do problems for three to four hours in a row. On the other hand, it's not a computer model test, and it feels quite bad, as a preparation before the real model test.

Barron: Personally, I feel better and the difficulty is quite high. Even the extra test is a simulation. 1 set ***7 sets are good model test materials.

ETS official question: the set given at the time of registration, I suggest to do it early, because it has shrunk, and there is only one set of questions in each link. But because it is official, it is more suitable as a primary introduction.

Kaplan is said to be difficult, but I haven't done it. It is said that because it is difficult, don't lose heart if you don't do well.

3. The machine warps

Although the function of machine meridians is not the most important, we still have to take a look. It is unrealistic to expect exactly the same, but the extra test parts are predictable. Additional test items for reading and listening have been flooded. If you have seen the machine classics, you can recognize them at a glance in the examination room. This time is not only prepared, but also a good boost to self-confidence. Therefore, it is recommended to look at the warpage of the tester.

4. All the preparatory work

1) Physiology: If you pass the SAT, you don't need to prepare, because the SAT takes longer; If you haven't participated in the SAT, it is recommended to exercise for a week or two before the exam to prepare for the 4-hour exam. Swimming, running, cycling are all ok (just don't lift weights ...)

2) biological clock: If the exam is at 8 am, you should adjust your biological clock one week before the exam and don't get up too late.

3) Psychology: nothing more than cultivating self-confidence. TOEFL is a benchmark. Just through it. 1 10 and 1 15 have no difference. At present, TOEFL is more convenient than SAT, and can be tested all over the country. Although it is difficult to register, you can report it at any time. If you don't do well in the exam, you will have a chance to take it again.

4) Red Bull/Coffee/Cool Oil: Find a refreshing product that suits you.

5) Endurance problem: If you take the listening test, you have to listen to 9 articles. Therefore, you should not be distracted during listening training.

5. The day before the exam

1) Step on it: Step on it if possible. In addition to ensuring no mistakes in the exam, it can also reduce some tension and strangeness for the real exam. Examination mentality is very important.

2) Prepare certificates and other personal belongings: two certificates-student ID card and ID card. If you sign up with a passport, you only need a passport. Prepare red bull, chocolate and other items.

3) Exercise: make yourself tired and ensure the quality of sleep.

4) basically don't review any more. You can take a model test, but you should relax and find the feeling.

Third, the examination room

1. Process:

1) The notice says to arrive 30 minutes early, but it is suggested to arrive earlier, so that you can have the initiative to pick the order of admission.

2) After the time is up, the invigilator asks the candidates to sit in their seats in order (you can choose at this time, and it is recommended not to be too far ahead, unless you want to contribute to future generations; Don't be too backward, otherwise people will die ugly when doing listening and speaking), and then send a letter of commitment for candidates to fill out (that is, to ensure that the exam questions are not leaked, and so on). )

3) Check the certificate when filling in the letter of guarantee.

4) Enter the site when everything is ready, and enter the site in two or three.

5) After entering the site, put the bag in the designated place.

6) take photos

7) The invigilator will take the candidates to randomly assigned positions and give you draft paper and pencils (three draft papers will not be given, you can wipe them, and try to save space and not be extravagant when practicing).

8) Audition, and then start to answer questions.

2. Examination process:

1) Reading: Reading for the first time will be stressful, because it is a completely unfamiliar environment and the brain has not yet entered the state. Articles 2 and 3 will definitely be restored. So don't be nervous if you are short-circuited temporarily, just keep watching.

2) Listening: Pay attention to the first article, because the ear has not yet entered the state, and it is easy to miss some content. So remind yourself to be careful before listening for the first time.

3) Rest: This is the key. Go back to your seat after the break. At this time, if you don't click the Continue button, you won't enter the oral part, which means you can take as long as you want. But don't be idle, you may overhear others speak spoken English, which is entirely possible. Write it down and guess the question. Summarize your answer and read it carefully. Then click continue, which is equivalent to reading rather than saying. Although this method is good, it is not a panacea. You may not be able to hear clearly or at the scene. You can't expect this to get high marks. You still need to practice more at ordinary times. ) this method can only solve the first two problems, and you still have to rely on yourself later.

There is nothing to say in the future. If you feel tired, hold on and don't lose your job. Basically, in the examination room, the mental state is relatively exciting, and there will be no symptoms of excessive fatigue.

In addition:

Because TOEFL is a highly modular test, templates appear. Many structural languages are immutable in TOEFL and can be refined by themselves. To put it bluntly, templates are just tools to cope with exams and get points in the short term. If you really want to get a genuine high score, you need to accumulate your own strength.
