TOEFL

The TOEFL is a comprehensive English language examination required by more than 3,000
colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world. In addition,
foreign born professionals frequently need a TOEFL score for certification to practice their
profession in the United States or Canada.


Good reading skills and an ample vocabulary are keys to doing well on all sections of the TOEFL.
This section of the TOEFL specifically test these skills. Many TOEFL test takers complain that they
do not have enough time to carefully answer all questions in this section. It is very important that
you follow the instructions in this book so that you will use all the allotted time to your advantage.


As you read, you will find new words that you will want lo learn. One good way to learn
words is to make flash cards. Use small cards made of thick paper, like index cards The cards
should be small enough to fit in your pocket. On one side write the new word, then on the back
write a synonym for the word. You may also want to note the meaning of the word. Review these
cards as often as you can, perhaps with a friend who is preparing for the TOEFL.
You will be able to build a large "sight vocabulary" by using this method. Do not be
concerned if you are unable to actually use these words in conversation you have in English. With
time, they will become a part of your active vocabulary. Your ability to use new words is not as
important as your ability to recognize new words and their meanings.
MAKE WORD LISTS
Another good way to learn new words is to make word lists. Many students use a small
notebook for this purpose. When you discover a new word, add it to a list of words to be learned.
On one side of the page, list the new word. To the right of the new word, write a synonym for it.
Study the words by covering the synonym, looking at the new word, and recalling the synonym. It
is also useful to reverse the process so that you practice both the new word and the synonym.
LEARN WORDS FROM OLD TOEFL
Learn words that have been tested on previous TOEFLs. The under-lined words on previous
TOEFL tests are sometimes tested again, but they frequently appear among the four choices
presented as synonyms for new words that are tested. You can find words to put on your flash cards
or word lists on any TOEFL tests that you may have. TOEFL tests can be found in the TOEFL test
kits available from the Educational Testing Service.
