Came here right after receiving my TOEFL scores, just to thank you for the wonderful resources you provide for free! I got a 119/120 (30 R 30 L 30 S 29 W). Your speaking templates are amazing, I was never confident in my speaking abilities until I came across this channel, your templates helped me a lot! You're a legend!
@9999ssjvegeta if you could share ur materials, how did u prepare for it ,I'm actually a sophomore student in college of languages ,my major is English translation , I'm not gonna do the test you know ,but I wanted to improve my english , do you think prepare for toefl will improve my english , cuz I am sick of learning english randomly in general ,I thought if I am stick to a teofl I will be more organized what do you think
I am a very old student living in South Korea. Your professional video helps me a lot. I've been looking for tons of videos for my TOEFL test, but I think your channel is by far the best. Thank you so much!
Michael, thank you very much for helping me with all your tips. You are amazing, man, love you and your presence here on youtube, your videos helped me to score more than 90 in less than a week of study! I wish many blessings to you!
Thank you for releasing this new video! I have been watching your videos for a while and they are really helpful. My test date is 1/16 and I hope my speaking can be 27! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this video! I found it very helpful. I will take the TOEFL in 2 weeks and your resources has been invaluable, thank you so much! This is totally off-topic but I love the presentation slides you use😅! May I ask which platform you use to make these on video, is it zoom? 😄
Thank you this is really great. So easy to understand. It helps a lot. I’m gonna be taking my toefl test this 31st of this month. I am nervous really, but thanks to you . This gave me hope and courage to take the test. God bless you.
Thank you for this valuable video. I was wondering about paired choices whether we can choose one side and talk about other side, or are we allowed to talk about the drawbacks of the other side somewhere when we are talking about the plus points of our choice.
Thank you so much! One question: doesn't it affect the score negatively when only one reason is given? I've always encouraged everyone to give 2 reasons, but it appears that isn't too necessary.
Hi Michel! Thank you so much! I was extremely worried for speaking part in TOEFL but your videos turned out to be of tremendous help. I scored a 28 in speaking and a 25 in writing! However, I was surprised to see a 21 in listening section. I had been scoring really well in listening practice tests and I thought I did well in actual test too. How do I find out my weak link in listening?
Hi, thank you so much for the video. It is extremely helpful. I wanted to ask, will it affect our score if we manage to include one example for each reason?
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have a question can I use the 2020 guide for the toefl integrated and independent essay videos that you posted 3 months ago for my exam in Jan 30 ??
The sample answers in all of the videos are meant to represent very high scoring responses. Just keep that in mind. You don't need to speak this much unless you need 30 points. Just do the best you can.
Tnx a lot for your useful TOEFL videos. I have a question about the test. I heard some people saying that the ETS volumes or/and ETS Official Guide book and CD's tests are easier than the main test which we take in test centers, is this right ? They say that ETS does this to attract students to take the test. Please answer this question, because I want to practice more. Thank you sir.
To prepare for this independent speaking task ( especially so many different topics), what reading materials or other resources do you recommend to use? Thanks !
What I struggle with is finding what to say. I know the template, I have the vocabulary, but I just don't know what to say. I cannot think of reasons AND examples in just 15 seconds, specially with topics that I don't care about or haven't thought about. What do you recommend to improve this?
As a student who was born and grown up only in Japan with no international backgrounds it’s quit difficult even just to change the statement from “teachers should assign ....’ to ‘children should be given...’.Omg... 😂😭 still trying to learn though...
Hello! Thanks for the best content! I have one question. How can I improve my speaking skills? Actually, I cannot find the good reasons for question, so I cannot support exactly. Do you have any idea about my problem? 🙏
Hello, sir. Your videos are amazing. Actually, i am gonna take my toefl at september 18 and a really have trouble coming up with the ideas. I checked your video about four types of ideas for writing part but they don't always fit. Do you have any recommendations to solve my problem? Thank you, by the way) 😊

3:49 template

Ha ha. Thanks. I really ought to get the time stamps done for the new videos.
Thank you so much for all your helping us
It's my pleasure!
Michel, please make videos about the 3rd and the 4th speaking questions.
Just watch the versions from last year. They are just as good. :)
@@Toeflresources thank you very much teacher.
great. it really helped me to prepare task 1. when will you post the templates and samples for remaining three tasks?
Probably over the next two months. The videos from 2019 are fine, though. You can just use them.
Thank you this is really great. So easy to understand. It helps a lot. I’m gonna be taking my toefl test this 31st of this month.
I am nervous really, but thanks to you . This gave me hope and courage to take the test. God bless you.
good luck, you're gonna do great!
Hey, how did it go?
Thank you for this valuable video. I was wondering about paired choices whether we can choose one side and talk about other side, or are we allowed to talk about the drawbacks of the other side somewhere when we are talking about the plus points of our choice.
Both are fine. You have a lot of flexibility in this task. The main thing is to focus on proper language use and delivery.
Thank you))) Your video helped me) I am so happy))))
Glad I could help! Have you already taken the test?
Thank you so much! One question: doesn't it affect the score negatively when only one reason is given? I've always encouraged everyone to give 2 reasons, but it appears that isn't too necessary.
I don't think it is a problem. I talk about this in the video. :)
@@Toeflresources thanks, exactly, that's why i asked since it wasn't there in the videos from previous years. Is it still "better" to give two?
@@fatemeh5984 have u ever done the test ,what was ur score
damn! It's so helpful. I should have subscribed to this channel earlier!
I'm glad it helps!
That was awesome , thanks for such useful lecture
Most welcome!
great video and pretty detailed
Glad you liked it!

You should take some practice tests and see which question types you mess up on. Use official materials for the best results.
Thanks alot for those helpful videos.
Could you please upload a video about, how to practice all four skills at home. I mean without teacher. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thx it helps me a lot:)
Glad it helped!
Hi Micheal, THX! Does it matter that I could not speak the unusual name of the animals or plants mentioned in the listening section?
Probably not a big deal.
Hi, thank you so much for the video. It is extremely helpful. I wanted to ask, will it affect our score if we manage to include one example for each reason?
I think one reason is fine.
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I have a question can I use the 2020 guide for the toefl integrated and independent essay videos that you posted 3 months ago for my exam in Jan 30 ??
Yes you can! They are totally fine. I might not even make new videos this year.
Hello,
Can we provide 1 detailed reasons with only one personal example?
Thank you!
Sure!
みんなこんなに喋れるの…？日本語で理由考えるだけで時間足りないのに、それから英語に訳すなんて時間足りなさすぎる…
The sample answers in all of the videos are meant to represent very high scoring responses. Just keep that in mind. You don't need to speak this much unless you need 30 points. Just do the best you can.
@@Toeflresources thanks. I will do my best.
Let me know how your test goes!
Tnx a lot for your useful TOEFL videos.
I have a question about the test.
I heard some people saying that the ETS volumes or/and ETS Official Guide book and CD's tests are easier than the main test which we take in test centers, is this right ?
They say that ETS does this to attract students to take the test.
Please answer this question, because I want to practice more.
Thank you sir.
I think they are about the same.
Is there a specific reason why you didn't use the word "comprehensive" in the example of the preference question like you did last year ?
No reason. The samples were too long last year, so I shortened them a bit.
@@Toeflresources Thanks for the prompt reply! 😀
To prepare for this independent speaking task ( especially so many different topics), what reading materials or other resources do you recommend to use? Thanks !
Check out a few samples: www.toeflresources.com/speaking-section/toefl-speaking-samples/
What I struggle with is finding what to say. I know the template, I have the vocabulary, but I just don't know what to say. I cannot think of reasons AND examples in just 15 seconds, specially with topics that I don't care about or haven't thought about. What do you recommend to improve this?
You can shorten it to just one reason.
Today is my toefl exam wish me luck🤞
Hey, how did it go?
As a student who was born and grown up only in Japan with no international backgrounds it’s quit difficult even just to change the statement from “teachers should assign ....’ to ‘children should be given...’.Omg... 😂😭 still trying to learn though...
Don't get too fixated on paraphrasing the question. That is just a tiny little part of your overall answer.
Hello! Thanks for the best content! I have one question. How can I improve my speaking skills? Actually, I cannot find the good reasons for question, so I cannot support exactly. Do you have any idea about my problem? 🙏
That's a pretty big question. I guess the best way is to simply practice. Use the language. Talk to people.
Hello, sir. Your videos are amazing. Actually, i am gonna take my toefl at september 18 and a really have trouble coming up with the ideas. I checked your video about four types of ideas for writing part but they don't always fit. Do you have any recommendations to solve my problem? Thank you, by the way)
😊
Maybe try reading some sample essays for inspiration - www.toeflresources.com/sample-toefl-essays/
@@Toeflresources Thank you
i'll try it
Let me know how it goes!
Cool ^^
I'm stuttering. How it will affect the score?
It is impossible for me to predict. Sorry.
so it is not necessary to say "that is why I think so " at the end?
also, I have my test in 3 weeks, so I am looking forward to videos about other speaking questions haha
It is not necessary. :)
@@armanc2111 feb 17 :)
My tutor told me that if you don't have the second reason,I could give 2examples.is this correct??
That's fine. There are no "rules" about what you can and cannot do.
What if the time is ended and I didn't finish saying my answer while I was talking so normally
Nothing is recorded after time runs out. You had better finish in time!
dear all: as TEACHER said PROVIDING ONLY ONE REASON IS FINE...
Yeah. One reason is fine. :)
