• Toefl Tips 2 (Speaking)

  • Toefl is in fact such an exam that requires numerous strategies to achieve what you want to do.  During this part , i will try to explain the things test takers should do in “Speaking Part” . i will try to express my experiences and what kind of difficulties i have faces during the warming up period.

    1 ) The most important thing is that on the test day before going to the test center , practise some and rehearse all question types to flush your throat.

    2)The first 2 questions are independent ones which means their not being related with either a listenign passage or a reading passage , but it is directly correlated with your experiences and imaginations. you will  hear 2 questions like “what is the most important event in your life ” or ” what is the most crucial characteristics that a teacher should have” do not forget you dont have to tell the truth while answering these questions, just use your imagination.

    3)Never ignore that the exam time is not the best time to use new vocabulary, just keep your answers satisfying what is asked and try to keep your voice stabilized so that the listener should feel comfortable when listening  your answer instead of getting frustrated due to his/her being obliged to rate your answer low or fair.

    4)The next  and the last 4 questions are integrated ones,during each of which you firstly read a passage or note then listen to a passage then mix them to create the solution required. When you read the passage , do not read it in detail just skim the passage so that you observe main points.DO NOT FORGET you will be capable of seeing the passage when you finish listening the passage and before starting the response. probably you will have some time to get ready to answer , for the integrated questions it should be 30 seconds , for the independant ones it is 15 seconds.

    5) Try not to miss any significant points within the reading passage , it will trigger grade losses vitally.

    6)You may want to build complex and long sentences ,but if they are gramatically wrong their complexity does not make any sense . You need to determine the sharp point between the complexity of the passage and its not  being grammatically incorrect.

    7)The last but may be one of the most significant justification you need to obey is that FINISH YOUR RESPONSE before the response time is up. you may have started to create really a good sentence about the concept or question but if it is incomplete , i mean, if time is over , the it will play a negative role instead of adding any valuable point.

    These are pure advises according to post-exam feelings. these are the things i thought causing grade losses. i got 22 over 30 in speaking exam.  if the above conditions were all satisfied it could be between 27-30…

    Wishing Best
