This document provides tips for improving writing skills for the TOEFL iBT exam. It discusses the characteristics of successful writing for all task types, including clarity, accuracy, organization, main ideas and details. It outlines the two writing tasks: integrated writing based on reading and listening, and independent essay writing. Tips are provided for prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and formal writing. Additional recommendations include practicing summarization, outlining similarities and differences between texts, expanding vocabulary and sentence structure, avoiding grammatical errors, and reading extensively in English.
The document provides an overview of the four skills - reading, listening, speaking, and writing - tested on the TOEFL iBT exam. It describes the various question types for each section, including comprehension questions, charts, and integrated tasks. Scoring rubrics are included for speaking and writing that evaluate delivery, language use, topic development, and appropriateness to the task. The document emphasizes practical skills and strategies students need to develop for the exam, such as note-taking, summarizing, connecting ideas, and practicing with sample questions. Teachers are advised to provide exposure to the test format and extensive practice opportunities to prepare students.
The document provides information about the TOEFL speaking section. It takes 20 minutes and consists of 6 questions that assess delivery, use of English, response to the question, and ability to summarize information from readings and lectures. The tasks include speaking independently about experiences, preferences, or opinions; reading a passage and responding to a related conversation; and summarizing a lecture on an academic topic while providing examples. Raters evaluate clarity, grammar, vocabulary, question response, and summarization skills.
The document provides guidance on effective note-taking for the TOEFL exam. It explains that note-taking is allowed and essential in some sections to help remember information and answer questions. Good notes directly impact scores. Note-taking skills keep test takers focused, help remember information, and organize responses. The document offers strategies like focusing on main ideas, important words, questions and answers, and organizing notes logically. It also provides examples of outlining and mind mapping techniques and abbreviations to use.
The document contains 3 short conversations with clues about who is speaking, what they will likely do next, and where they are located. In the first conversation, a woman asks a man about missed assignments, indicating he is probably her teacher. In the second, a man says he will check books out from the library, so he will likely go to the circulation desk next. In the third, a discussion of water, sand, and sunscreen suggests the conversation is taking place at the beach.
The document discusses replay questions, which are questions that ask the learner to focus on a short part of a conversation or lecture and can inquire about the main idea, supporting facts, speaker's attitude or purpose, or inferences. Replay questions are not one of the six core listening skills but test comprehension of those skills by having the learner re-listen to a selected part of the audio. These questions are indicated by a headphone icon so learners know to re-listen to the audio segment before answering.
The document summarizes strategies for the TOEFL listening comprehension exam. It is divided into three parts: dialogs with 30 questions, extended conversations with 8 questions, and mini-talks with 12 questions. For the first part on dialogs, it provides 8 strategies: 1) focus on the conversation without distraction; 2) understand the context set by the first speaker; 3) understand the purpose of the conversation such as a request; 4) listen for precise meaning despite similar words; 5) listen for accurate vocabulary use; 6) listen for correct word order and structure; 7) use intuition or guess if uncertain and select one consistent answer letter; and 8) use the 12-second pauses efficiently without wasting time on

The document discusses best practices for effective notetaking. It recommends taking notes during classes and while reading materials to reduce the amount of information needed to study. Studies have shown that better notetaking leads to higher test scores, as regular note-taking helps improve recall and makes learning new information easier. The document also provides tips for organizing notes through outlining and Cornell note-taking methods, which involve separating key ideas from details to help map connections between concepts.
Farmers cultivate crops through irrigation and fertilization to intensify photosynthesis and obtain higher crop yields, though precipitation or drought can sometimes adversely affect agricultural production if rainfall is not adequate or occurs at the wrong time.
