The TOEFL practice of English dross
You should prepare the TOEFL with the purpose of really learning English well, instead of messing yourself with a bunch of seemingly gorgeous skills with little success. In the end, you can not only get good grades, but also really improve your foreign language ability.
English learning is always an inextricable pain for many people. Let's take a look at Douban users' own TOEFL experience shared by Douban users. Prepare with the mentality of learning English well and open a door to the world for yourself.
[my TOEFL study]
received a letter of soybean oil a few days ago. Probably complaining about the difficulty of preparing for TOEFL, the scum of the training class teacher, self-study, and procrastination, I don't know what to do.
I can only say that the first time I prepared for the overseas exam, I had the same habit.
my TOEFL class is one-on-one with Tina.
Tina teaches well. When she studied psychology in the United States, she emphasized that "changing students' behavior habits and improving their ability can improve their grades."
I still remember such a special and queen teacher. Her composition class is very good (for the benefit of the hand-reaching party: if you are interested, you can poke it, there is free audio), which is very useful, which has completely changed my view of English writing.
if you ask me what is the most important thing to learn from Tina, it is that just focusing on the skill itself is hooliganism, and only focusing on the philosophy behind the skill makes sense.
A good-looking shortcut is not necessarily the right way, but some seemingly boring behaviors can help you learn English.
[memorize words]
but if you want to improve your English ability in a short period and beat the exam quickly, you should swipe the words and quickly break your vocabulary to about 1W.
vocabulary is the basis of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
the method of memorizing words is not much to say here. There are many books and software on the market. I only have 3 experiences in memorizing words:
-A lot & amp; many times! Memorize about 100,200 at a time, brush the word book
many times
-keep reading when memorizing words! After reciting TOEFL words for the first time, you can start to do exercises and read them the second time. By reading, you can increase your understanding of the words
-Buy Red Treasure Book & amp; use the word memorization software & amp; to listen to the word radio station! When I first came into contact with TOEFL reading, I felt very broken when I chose a reliable word book and learned ~
[Reading]
in a down-to-earth manner.
there are some words. Don't speak English. I don't know what it means in Chinese.
I used to have a time when I opened the TPO. Get;_
but after reading a few articles, I began to have some understanding of the topic.
I think the most important thing is not to read as a task, you should read the topic as "100,000 whys" or popular science reading.
curiosity is an important thing that makes everything happy. Once you have the desire to explore, the process of learning will become a pleasant adventure.when it comes to questions like whether or not to skip, my opinion is-- take whatever you like.
I don't skip the party; if you think skipping is useful to you, jump.
if you know why you're doing this? Reading skills are not fashionable, there is no point in following the trend, it must serve for effective reading.
the key to the improvement of reading level is to read a certain amount.
if you don't like reading at ordinary times, and you don't intend to like reading in the future, then your English proficiency should be like this your whole life.
all in all, besides doing exercises, you should read more English books. If you like to watch Xiao Yan monosodium glutamate soup, you can change Chinese into English. For those who like to pay attention to all kinds of big events, watch the Economist. Change some of your Chinese reading materials into English and follow your preferences. There is no need to read Jane Austen, but you can read it if you like it. I recently read a book written by George Orwell, which is quite recommended. The sentence is very good and the content is quite interesting.
[listening]
as an experienced obsessive-compulsive disorder lover, dictation is my favorite pastime.
write down every word you hear neatly on A4 paper; it brings more satisfaction than eating COLD STONE on a hot day.
the problem is that this habit does not help do problems.
so, this habit has been complained about by Tina. And. I was asked not to take dictation, but to write, listen, judge the meaning, and then decide what notes to take.
I was forced to do it her way, and the effect was improved, but that didn't stop me from trying to hammer her to death.
my listening experience is that I usually listen to more words.
when doing listening exercises, you should be able to grasp the main points and don't get caught up in trivial details.
"High score 120" is especially recommended here. You must not brush the real questions as soon as you come up. In the end, if you remember all the answers to the real questions, there will be no questions to do.
[Writing & spoken amp;]
I have met the most narcissistic TOEFL teacher who asked us to recite the model essays he wrote. The next day, I dropped out of class decisively.
to write a good TOEFL composition, the core is not to memorize the model essay, but to change the way of thinking!
for example, in our high school composition, many teachers like affected big words and pile up empty essays that look like they don't understand but think they are very powerful. If you take the TOEFL like this, congratulations! You won't get a high score!
TOEFL emphasizes logic, inference, and detail. It requires you to express your opinion, infers the evidence, shows the details step by step, and completes the entire composition.
when practicing, you can write in Chinese instead of English to clarify your arguments and opinions. Wait until your logic is clear, and then start to write it into English. I think we should first pay attention to "improving your thinking ability", and then dwell on the problem of words and sentences.
spoken English is the same as composition.
the most important thing is what you want to say, how you plan to say something, and then how to say it. The only way to deal with spoken English is a lot of practice & amp; a lot of imitation & amp; a lot of listening to what others say. The quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change, so you should push your brain to turn faster.
[my opinion on TOEFL]
if TOEFL is a very difficult exam, absolutely not. Compared to GMAT, LSAT, and the like, it is a person with very poor fighting ability. If it is easy, it needs a lot of new knowledge. You can use TOEFL as an opportunity to understand and learn what you have been missing.
you should prepare for the TOEFL to learn English well, instead of giving yourself a bunch of seemingly gorgeous skills with little effect. in the end, you can not only get good grades but also improve your foreign language ability.
when you have learned English well, colleagues can go to the soup is not hot, fanfiction.net friends; young men and women who care about society, can read more different opinions; do not buy things will be best friends, can unimpeded search for all kinds of beautiful things; movie lovers can watch their favorite movies without waiting for the subtitle group.
the wall is high and foreign languages are difficult, but you still have to learn. Only in this way, your world will not be confined to a certain place, you can feel that the world is flat, and you dare to walk away.
