SPEAKING BOOST
The best way to practice speaking is with native speakers of English. In some countries, you can find English-
speaking tutors to help you with conversation skills. You can also find a friend to practice speaking with every day
or record yourself speaking and evaluate your Speaking skills.
You might try these general activities to practice your Speaking skills:
• Listen to native English speakers and try to mimic their expressions. Learn to use idioms and other forms of
informal speech that sound natural and appropriate.
• Practice using contractions, such as it’s, there’s, and I’m, to sound more natural when speaking.
• Work on your pronunciation, including word stress, intonation patterns, and pauses.
The TOEFL Practice Online Speaking and Writing Practice Test will give you a realistic experience of the actual test
sections, plus it will show which questions you answer correctly and incorrectly.

You’ve reached the half-way point of your 2-week study plan! Take a day to relax and recharge. It’s important to
understand that taking breaks is not lazy!
Breaks allow your brain to rest and process the knowledge you’ve gained. Researchers
have shown that regular breaks help you retain information and perform better on exams.
Sample reflection: I read the strategies for the Speaking section and have been building my English
vocabulary. I talk with friends and people at work in English about many different topics when I can.
