 TOEFL Tips
• Use the English Language Every Day
Set aside time each day to communicate only in English. Listen, read, speak and write in English every chance you get.

• Write
Send emails, make notes for yourself and write down daily reminders, using new words and common expressions. This
helps with sentence structure and vocabulary.
• Listen

Listen to music, online broadcasts, radio, television and movies in English. The more you listen, the more you will
understand vocabulary and expressions. Music helps you acquire the rhythm and stress patterns of spoken English.
Listen closely to the words.
• Read

Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary. English-language reading materials — newspapers, magazines,
books and websites — are always available. See Engaging English® for additional ways to improve your reading skills.

• Speaking Tip
Concentrate on speaking loudly and clearly with good pronunciation and intonation. Try to speak in thought groups to
have good flow to your speaking. Pause after prepositional phrases and related thought groups. Add emotion and feeling
to what you are saying. Practice the same speech in your own language and then try to match the same gestures and
feelings when you use English.
