We provide you a preparation procedure that has been proved very effective
by many students. You can adjust it based on your particular interests.
- In the early days of preparation, you may not be well based. You can make
each week as a group and arrange your time as follows
- From Monday to Friday:
- Extensive listening: Use 80% of your time to listen to a wide range of
materials, TV, Movie, Radio, Computer, Tape, etc. Try to be familiar with
American accent and form stronger IMPRESSION of natural English in
your brain.
- Practice listening: Spend the remaining time with EnglishMaster to get
familiar with the special style of TOEFL listening items.
- On Saturday and Sunday:
- Take one and just one full long listening test with EnglishMaster to
see how many incorrect answers you have. Don't be frustrated or mad or
disappointed if the result is terrible. Just remember the number of wrong
answers. That's it.
- Try to get a good rest and relax. If you still have mood, do some
listening activities as you did in the weekdays.
- In the middle days of the preparation, your base has been improved and you
are ready to take the test seriously now.
- Spend only 10% of your time on extensive listening of various
non-test-related materials.
- Spend 50% of your time on extensive listening of test items. The method
might seem weird to you, but it’s effective: Try to listen to EnglishMaster
TOEFL listening section under various mood and spirit: For instance, after a
long run, you haven’t even settle down, you put on your earphone and listen
to it. You wake up at midnight, you pick up the earphone and listen to it.
You make a phone call to your best friend or simply finish the kissing of
your spouse. You pick up the earphone and listen to it. Please note that
this is not the behaves of a moronic. In fact, this teaches you how to
handle the nervousness with easy since you have experienced all
psycho-status but still with sanity to listen to the computer and continue
with it.
- Spend the remaining time on intensive listening of test items. Replay
the content until you fully understand it.
- Write down your weak point and repeated errors.
- Take at least one full-length listening test with EnglishMaster every
other day.
- In the late days of the preparation, you need a breakthrough now.
- Study
our TOEFL listening insights and
our TOEFL
listening tips carefully. Try to understand everything they talk about.
Remember the ones you think may work for you and try to apply them to your
listening practice.
- Practice test items with all skills you learn. Find out your weak links.
- Spend some time on your weak points. For instance, you can't find out
the main idea of a long discussion or lecture. So practice more on longer
sections.
- Test full-length test more often. Because that kind of "authentic"
tests can help you overcome the nervous in the real test.
