Thank you very much.
thanks for these listening tips. they are quite helpful…really gets you ready for the real test day. i will be letting my friends know about this when they do their TOEFL…….
I found it with a terrible mistake.Can’t we make it not to pause frequently during listening? Due to pause I could not practice with it.
I really liked all of these videos, thank you, I’m getting ready to my TOEFL exam
hey Sushil, it’s pausing because ur internet connected is slow. u may load the full video first before starting ur session. That way u can listen to it without pausing. good luck
I liked it!! And I found it really useful to practice a specific listening subskill, which is to get the main idea, but what about focusing on specific details? Probably, it would better to provide only one or two examples of listening to practice it, but with the number of questions that are regularly included in a real TOEFL iBT test.
thank you so much! And please, wish me good luck, i am taking the test next weekend!!! :S
it was very useful practise 4 the tofil thnkx
