我如何準備托福
目標: iBT 80 (PBT 550)
準備時間: 半年
準備方法: 前三個月補習,後三個多月複習
採分割的方式複習,
每天聽, 說, 讀, 寫都唸一點
每天唸書時間: 3小時
_____________________________________________________________________
聽
Campus talk 比較簡單,我只複習長篇聽力,由於長篇聽力
老師都有檢討過,因此複習時,我就將不懂的專有名詞,單字,片語寫在一本小筆記本裡,考前一兩週只要看這本筆記就好了
說
老師上課時都會教答題的技巧,將五題的句型背好,平時多想第一,二題的答題內容
每天挑一組考題的兩三題準備,練習模擬當天考試情形,可請朋友幫忙計時
讀
讀的部分要多作題目喔! Paraphrase的題目和最後的整合題要小心
可以在讀完一篇文章對內容最深刻時先到最後面去答整合題
替代字是最好拿閱讀分數的,如果同時在準備GRE單字時,會發現閱讀的替代字都很熟悉,沒有要考GRE的話,平時可以查托福同義字
寫
老師教的寫作模式和外面賣的參考書都大同小異
即使沒補習,學校圖書館也可以借得到書
我推薦這本: 電腦考托福寫作突破
最後,我想分享準備托福的心情: 積極,耐心,專心準備 平常心看待挫折
