The exam waiting room is different from the examination room. All the students are waiting for the exam inside. Note: There is often a waiting time of half an hour to one hour before the exam. Suggestion: Pay attention to a few things during this time: recall reading questions; Oral skills; Composition template; Recall jj; Go to the toilet; Try to relax by chatting with the classmates around you.
In my examination room, getting to the examination room in advance does not guarantee that you will get in early. Going in is based on the existing list. So students with letters are often the first to go in, but unfortunately I am the first to go in. Turns out it doesn't matter much. As long as you are familiar with the buzzing background sound, I suggest you try to do TOEFL exercises in the canteen.
Enter the classroom and hand in your ID card and student ID card. I didn't have a student ID card and handed in my driver's license (learning to drive is such a useful thing). Make a beautiful face and let the obscene middle-aged man take pictures.
Sitting in front of the arranged computer, the photo just taken suddenly appeared. It turned out that the middle-aged man didn't capture my beautiful expression just now. Your name and admission ticket number are under the photo. Check it and start the audition.
Pay attention to the words on the screen when listening? Practice? This word means that the formal exam has not yet started. There will be an oral topic, usually a task 1 Many students will repeat the same sentence or keep shouting like drakes? Hello, hello, hello? . It is suggested that this topic be practiced as a formal exam to find out the feeling. After the audition, the screen will show: successful or unsuccessful. If the audition fails, don't try to find the classroom administrator first, because they are often very busy at this time, and many students come in one after another and have no time to take care of you. Try to hold the microphone closer and speak louder, and often the second audition will be successful. This is my situation. The second time is not enough. Try again patiently for the third time. The third time is not enough. Try to find the classroom manager.
7 The reading section begins. First, the first item appears on the right side of the screen, and the 20-minute countdown begins. Pull the scroll and press the Next key in the upper right corner of the screen before the first question appears. In the current exam questions, articles and questions each account for half of the screen. The article is on the right and the exam questions are on the left.
There is only one reference question for all the reading questions today. A new rhetorical question appears, which is to ask you the role of a paragraph in the article.
At the beginning of the exam, the buddy behind me suddenly patted me on the shoulder and said that my chair had been hitting his desk. His big hand startled me, and it took me seven seconds (equivalent to Liu Xiang running the 59.78m hurdles). Each seat in the education building is really small, so one: I suggest you lose weight and adjust your sitting posture on the spot before starting the exam. Two: I strongly advise Mr. Gan Lin not to go to this test center.
10 read three articles. The first one is 20 minutes. You can't go back when the time is up. The second and third articles add up to 40 minutes. Can you press it? Review? Key back to any topic in the middle. The second article took me 20 minutes and 30 seconds, and the third article took 19 minutes and 30 seconds. I didn't take the time to check these three articles. I prefer to do one thing at a time and take the time to check and improve the accuracy of each question. I didn't take the extra reading test today. I took an extra listening test.
1 1 Because of the extra test, the listening part listened to 3 dialogues and 6 speeches. It was disgusting to hear it later, but the later it was, the simpler it felt. The first conversation and the second speech in the first part are often difficult to hear clearly, probably because I wanted to hit you from the beginning. Pay attention to taking notes. If there is a conflict between taking notes and mastering ideas, you would rather not take notes and concentrate on understanding. Of course, this involves a technical problem of taking notes quickly.
12 The black friends and professors who appeared before the beginning of the listening section are the same as those who appeared in the ETS official TOEFL online test. I feel very intimate when I see it, and the people who appear on the screen selected by ETS are often ordinary and elegant-that is, they are as handsome as Beckham, which makes you feel intimate without distracting you. Official website of TOEFL Quanzhen Online Model Test: www.ets.org/toeflpractice suggested buying model test questions if possible. Or through various channels, gain relevant model test experience. I didn't review before this TOEFL, so I did a set of simulation questions, and I felt very impressed when I met the real questions at the test center.
13 Some students may have internal anxiety before taking a break. First of all, pay attention to the second item I mentioned above. Second, if this happens, we must hold back at the critical moment. It is suggested that some relevant training should be carried out during self-study in the school library. Remember not to be possessed!
After the listening part of 14 is over, the screen shows that the countdown starts in 5 seconds 10 minutes-which means you can leave your seat immediately and do what you like-for example, drink red bull; Eat chocolate; Go to the bathroom. Note: the rest time is only 10 minutes-not much for one second; Not for a few seconds. So you'd better watch your watch. In addition, there is a countdown of 10 minutes in the upper right corner of the screen, and some students are too stupid to see it. Did they stare at the screen for a long time? Rest in five seconds? Tip, when you notice it, the countdown may show that there is only 9 minutes to rest-people can be stupid, but they are not stupid.
After 15 came back, the oral exam began. Personally, I think speaking test is the most needed skill among the four tests-especially timing. Because there is not enough relevant training before, it turns out that the preparation time of 15 seconds or 30 seconds is always much shorter than expected. In addition, the limited answer time (45 seconds or 60 seconds) always goes much faster than expected. So I ended a few questions in a hurry and was very passive. Everyone should learn a lesson and find opportunities to train with a stopwatch in peacetime.
16 the first question of the composition question must be to read a paragraph and then listen to a speech. The views of writing and speech are often opposite. Pay special attention to taking notes when you speak. You don't need to take notes on the text, just read it and make an appropriate summary. Although words will disappear when spoken, they will reappear when writing articles.
17 the second question of the composition requires more than 300 words, and reading, conception and writing add up to 30 minutes. It took me three or four minutes to read the topic and conceive it. It is very important to conceive and design the framework of the article. Spending an extra minute here may mean helping you to be efficient in the later writing process.
18 Hangzhou candidates are advised to stay in Zhejiang Xinyu City Hotel one or two days in advance if they take the exam in Zhejiang Education Building. Standard room 260 yuan/day. Tel: 057 1-85394888. It's convenient to go to the examination room, and it can also cultivate fighting spirit (it's too comfortable at home or school).
19 You can't bring a pen into the examination room. Only pencils are provided at the examination site. There is an unlimited supply of test papers, and I used six sheets of paper for the whole exam. The current paper is yellow. It is recommended to be familiar with taking notes on yellow paper with a pencil before the exam. At the same time, it is suggested to put a pack of wet paper towels in your pocket, which can not only remove dust during the exam (for friends who are neat), but also wipe their faces and refresh themselves at any time.
The new TOEFL test is really difficult, but it is definitely not insurmountable. This is a long journey. Of course, this is no longer a detail. On the contrary, it is a summary.
