Hello to all, I want to talk in this article about a special examination that

is very popular

and every person should take this test.

This test is called ( TOEFL Test).

What does TOEFL mean ?

TOEFL means =a test of English as a foreign language

Ok… why is of that important?

TOEFL test is important because it tests your skills in English

and determine whether you are qualified for the University or not.

OK…how many kinds of TOEFL are there ?

There are two kinds of TOEFL. .The paper TOEFL and the computer TOEFL

Paper TOEFL : The paper TOEFL is consist of four

parts. They are ..listening , grammar, reading , and writing.

You will face 50 questions in listening that it will be divided into

thirty normal conversations, twenty conversations between two people or

more ,

and the rest of the ten will be in lectures.

the grammar test will be 50 questions

but don’t worry it will be easy.

The reading test will be from 60 questions and here is the way….

There will be 6 articles and each article will have 10 questions,

the reading test is very hard though..

In writing the test you will be given 30 minutes to write about something. This thing varies from the subject the examiner gives you.

Now let’s go to the computer test.

the computer test has the same category as the paper test,

but the listening part has 25 questions and some times 50

questions .The grammar part has 20 questions, and the reading

part has about 60 questions

For me, I think the computer test is better because in listening

part you will have your own mouse so ..it makes it easy to listen

rather than having big stereos.

WHAT is the grade of TOEFL ?

The grade of TOEFL starts from 300 and ends with 690 ( I

guess)….most colleges in USA want a grade from 500 and above. community colleges

need ( most of it 450 and above ) and most of the universities want 50

and above

Advises for the TOEFL?

1- Practice English a lot

2-Don’t be nervous before the examination (believe me this is personal

experience)

3-Be cool

4- Try to do TOEFL exams at home…………in other words ..practice
