Invata engleza/ The TOEFL exam

Some people, due to some requirements coming from their employers or authorities from countries they intend to migrate, have to sit in the TOEFL examination.
The exam is also based upon the reading, speaking, writing and listening skills. Major requirements: good knowledge of grammar and fluency.
A few tips:
The reading test is based upon some kind of long texts (7oo words or so), whose topics are rather unusual and not very common. Be relaxed, you are not supposed to know anything about the topics of the texts, but read the text attentively and carefully do the tasks. These are sometimes based on details. You should also be careful about the timing, which leads to the most important aspect of the TOEFL examination, the time frame.
For all the tasks you have to perform, you need to respect the timing and this is especially difficult for the speaking test. For this task, you will either read or listen to some sentences or a text. Sometimes you have to do both and the task is based on both of them. The topics are easy, based upon everyday life situations. After you listen or read the task, you have 30-60 seconds to prepare and then 45-60 seconds to speak. It is rather tight because you have to think fast and you do not have time for taking notes. So structure your response in your mind and do not stop talking until the time is up.
I admit I notice during the preparation courses that the speaking test was the trickiest.

More on the TOEFL examination

This article is dedicated to the listening task.
For the listening task, no matter if you have the Paper Based TOEFL (PBT), the Computer Based TOEFL (CBT) or the Internet Based TOEFL (iBT), you will have a title and a picture to introduce you to the topic. Then you have to listen to a rather long dialogue or text and after that you do the tasks. The tasks are usually multiple choice (grilă, as we say in Romanian) and based upon details and not general ideas from the listening text.
A few tips:
While listening, take notes because you cannot remember all the details when performing the tasks. Also you will not have time to write everything, but in order to do so, write in short(summarize)  so that you can cover the most important details.
If you do not know  how  to respond to a task, do not leave it that way, but circle or choose an answer (any answer) and all the time be aware of the timing. If you are a little bit behind schedule, do not panic and try to concentrate on the exam. More about this exam you can find here.
