All Speaking Tasks
b Try to use one new vocabulary word or phrase each day.
b Make a one-minute recording of a fluent speaker of English. (It can be
someone you know or a recording from the internet, TV, radio, etc.)
Replay the recording two times to get familiar with the speaker’s rhythm
and intonation. Then play the recording a third time, and try to speak
aloud along with the speaker. Even if you don’t pronounce all the words
correctly, this will help you become familiar with the stress and intona-
tion patterns of fluent speakers.
b When practicing for the TOEFL iBT test using the tips above, take 15 seconds to
think about what you are going to say before you speak. Write down a few
key words and ideas, but do not attempt to write down exactly what you are
going to say. (Raters will be able to detect responses that are read and will
give them a lower score.)
b As you listen to English speakers, try to identify words and expressions
that help connect the speakers’ ideas. Then try to include these expres-
sions when you speak in order to introduce new information, to connect
ideas, and to mark important words or ideas. This helps listeners more
easily follow what you are saying. (For example, “on the one hand,” “what
that means is,” “one reason is,” “another difference might be.”)
b Monitor your progress and ask an English teacher or tutor to evaluate
your speech using the appropriate Speaking rubrics. (See pages 184–187
for the rubrics.)

Writing Tips
Integrated Writing Tasks
b Find a textbook that includes questions about the material at the end of
chapters, and practice writing answers to the questions.
b Read an article that is about 300–400 words long. Make an outline that
includes the major points and important details of the article. Use the out-
line to write a summary of the information and ideas. Summaries should
be brief and clearly communicate only the major points and important
details. Be sure to paraphrase using different words and grammatical
structures.
