Hi ouliogroove, congratulations for the amazing job you`ve doing so far, your videos are of extreme importance for me, even though we know it`s almost impossible (that`s why it`s a sample xD) to speak so fluently and clearly without being a native speaker, it provides an amazing guidance. Continue with the great job!!
@Liduniya thanks! Kind of... but it is all about practicing! You have to be as fast as you can to right down a quick answer, just some brief ideas to support you while speaking and avoid long and embarrassing pauses! Just practice as most as you can!
Just follow the same way of speaking and whatever u choosed as a reason for your choice , it will be accepted as long as u can talk about clearly and fluently , what they care about is how u speak and how u use ur vocabulary and grammer .I did the exam after I saw these videos and I got 26 , What I need help in is how to write in the toefl writing section , the highest score I got was 22 and I need at least 24/30.
As for indoor or outdoor sports, it depends, people who enjoy indoor sports may like that kind of clean and that sport environment, especially those office people who want to keep in fit and practice muscle and strength. While those who enjoy outdoor sports may have more free time than those who like indoor sports, for outdoor sports always require some more time and preparation, such as traffic tools, car, bike, etc, it is really hard to say which one is much better or not than the other, some kind of systematically combination of both is definitely a perfect choice.
@cooleryj, I've spent one entire month of my vacation studying for the exam. One thing I realized was that every day, when I started to study, my brain kind of need a litle time to get used to the english language and "forget" the portugueese. So, when I took the exam I've spent like half an hour reading some stuff in english so I could get in touch with the language sooner, not just in the exam. It worked with me.
Well, the sample responses are considered A++, complete and grammatically perfect... But of course you don't need to aim for that to get a good score. Remember that you have 15 secs to prepare, so it is virtually impossible to come up with something nearly as good as the samples. Now the best advice I can give you is to follow the "newly added link" in the MORE INFO section and it will lead you to the scoring grid. It is pretty neat and well done and this is what the judges use to grade you.
Hmm it's said that we need to include examples but the samples don't do that. I mean whit this type of questions there aren't much examples to include.. soo would it be wrong if we don't include any examples?
@Vooalja, you don't need to speak as fast as those guys, neither with this perfect accent... Just try to organize your ideas and speak fluently! Try to use a book as well.. I've used Kaplan.
the videos that you uploaded is very helpful. Of course, it will help us to gain higher score. I mean uploading this kind of videos will be very fruitful endings. But I wanted to read the .pdf under the link (in more info). But it seems there is problem related this (file was moved or removed it is unknown) Please help me.
Hey toefler , I took the exam today and the question they asked was : what should universities do to make the studends help decreasing the polution ?? And the second question was : do u prefer playing games and sports for enjoying or for winning ??? O.o
As for the method to solve the problem of the extra money, deposit or consuming it, it is really a problem, but it is easy to solve than other problems in life we may face everyday. Deposit some and consume some the other to fulfill your demand of goods or essentials,
@Laparanoicafierita , take a look at my other comments… When I was preparing myself for the exam the grade 100/120 seemed kind of impossible! But since this is a standardized exam, all you need to do is practice, practice a lot, and you will get used to this kind of questions.
These videos are not completely correct because they do not talk about the background but they start talking from the examples. But,it is ok we can get an idea on how to response on these kind of questions, thanks :)
Actually, what the purpose EST designed this test for international test taker? It doesn't base on realistic answer that a not native language attempt to this pronunciation and adding more information just 60 seconds.
Keep this in mind as you prepare for the TOEFL iBT: ETS uses a variety of accents during the listening, speaking, and writing sections of the exam to simulate the types of English speakers that you may encounter while attending a university. For example, in addition to having an Online TOEFL Course, I am an English Composition professor at California State University, San Bernardino. At my school, we have professors, some of whom have non-native speaker accents of American English, who come from more than 30 countries from around the world. Therefore, as you work on improving your listening comprehension abilities, do some practice at National Public Radio online, where you will definitely get a variety of accents.
Hell yeah! You have my support. I played it back about 20 times and still coudln't get what he was saying! Horrible english. I had to turn on the subtitles.
hi every one i love it this video very much beaches is helper me for how can i speak perfectly in a test and know also i can speak outside by this word and thanks very well for every thing
The question #7 is: Would you prefer to select your own roomate or let the university assign a roomate to you? Include reasons and details to support your explanation.
@pklinh97 Keep practicing! I'm writing from U.S right now! It worths every minute I spent studying! And remember, you don't need to have this perfect accent they do in this video. And feel free to lie in your answers! Just come-up with anything! hahha
A British accent is the original English accent - not just another variety...if you can't understand a British accent you obviously need to keep practising your listening skills! Nothing rustic about it...
I don't see anything wrong with his accent and he is just speaking English with a lazy tongue, which is a common problem that not worth paying attention to.

Precisely!!! I had to listen to it four times before i understand the question.

I am not even able to answer this stupid nonsense qusetion in my own language...
But we do

I've been trying for a year and a half now , yet didn't pass it .
Great job.
Thank you for uploading this video. It is very helpful!
I made 663 out of 667 in TOEFL around 1991. It put me in top 1% between 2,000,000 students. Made 100-100-94
Thank you so much for uploading these videos.
@andrehpinto how long did u use for preparing Tofel?
i am used to hear different accents, but for some reason, I even do not understand question 7!
Hmm it's said that we need to include examples but the samples don't do that. I mean whit this type of questions there aren't much examples to include.. soo would it be wrong if we don't include any examples?
Nice example. It seems to be that TOEFL exam is kinda hard, but it's not. :D Thank you for your examples.
@Vooalja, you don't need to speak as fast as those guys, neither with this perfect accent...
Just try to organize your ideas and speak fluently!

why the reasons are opposite to each others.I don't think it supposed to be like that :S
The transcript for question 7 is:
"Would you prefer to select your roommate or let the university assign a roommate to you" :)
@TheAttachedMom, I got all different ones... but yes, don't be afraid of lying and saying anything just to fulfill the speaking time!
Hey toefler , I took the exam today and the question they asked was : what should universities do to make the studends help decreasing the polution ??
And the second question was : do u prefer playing games and sports for enjoying or for winning ???
O.o

@SmobblBobbl Would you prefer to select a roommate or let University assign a roommate to you?
But I got it only after listening the answer :)
Thank you for posting
!
Oh, was it very tough?
Very helpful. Thanks a lot
@andrehpinto lying is what I gotta do, I think, ))
So, did you get any of those sample topics or you got another ones?
These videos are not completely correct because they do not talk about the background but they start talking from the examples. But,it is ok we can get an idea on how to response on these kind of questions, thanks :)
Thank you so much
good collection
Wtf is he saying at 1:32?
Thanks mate!
I think it's about speaking more than finding good explanation
It's too difficult for me:((
How long did you study?
great!
Thanks
Wow! Congratulations! Was it very difficult?
Actually, what the purpose EST designed this test for international test taker? It doesn't base on realistic answer that a not native language attempt to this pronunciation and adding more information just 60 seconds.
wtf is wrong with question #7 i would never understand that guy until I listened to the response @@~
bitch please>>
I agree with you the readers´ accent is awful

I don't see anything wrong with his accent and he is just speaking English with a lazy tongue, which is a common problem that not worth paying attention to.
