TOEFL
STRATEGY FOR STRUCTUE WRITTEN AXPRESSION AND READING COMPREHENSION
Preparation Strategy :
1.Read
It might sound obvious but the best way to practice
for TOEFL’s reading test is to read as much as possible beforehand on as wide a
variety of topics as possible. Current affairs, health, sports, it doesn’t
matter. Also, cover all the media in your reading materials like books,
online texts, and also magazines. Familiarize yourself also with the size of
texts that are 700 words long.
2. Practice Past Test
You need to always remember that TOEFL is a standardized test. This means it always follows the same format. Practice past tests to familiarize yourself with the format
3. Practice Summing Up
Never presume you know the meaning of a text while you are reading it.
Always stop at the end of each paragraph and try to sum up what you have just
read (even if it have to whisper rather than say it out loud)
4. Learn To Guess Unfamiliar Words
When you are faced with a new word what do you do? Panic? Consult a
dictionary? Neither of these responses will help you in your exam. Learn to
guess the meaning of new words from the context of a passage or the words and
paragraphs which surround it.
5. Learn To Pick Out Pronouns
When you speak, you know there is a big difference between the pronouns he,
she and it. It is the same when you are reading. Learn to pay attention to the
pronouns in a text so you know to whom or what it is referring, especially if
there are multiple characters in the text. This could be the difference between
you answering a question correctly and incorrectly
6. Relax
In order to really capture the meaning of a text, you need to be relaxed so
that you can focus on it completely. If you are very nervous you might miss
important, and maybe obvious, points. Develop relaxation techniques like deep
breathing during the test or even a yoga session before it! Whatever keeps you
calm and works for you should not be ignored.
