1.Understand the gist of the article.

In fact, many listening questions do not require us to understand every detail of the material, but rather to be able to grasp the idea and the framework of the text. Therefore, it is advisable to develop the ability to listen to short texts. This is very important for TOEFL listening scores, because TOEFL round model listening, especially lectures, does not require us to know every detail, more importantly, the professor's ideas and important details of the whole text.

Many people listen to a listening material and ask him what he heard, he can only say a scattered word, which is not enough, the main method is to take notes according to the content of the TOEFL listening lecture, and then retell the full text in English according to the brain's memory and the key content of the note, and then repeat until a lecture can be successfully repeated.

1.Listen to past papers.

The best way to improve your TOEFL listening score is to listen to past past questions. Do the real questions one by one, and do them repeatedly, for the questions you made, look at the original text, and then find out why you are wrong, careless or misheard.

Do a good job of summarizing some of Wang Chun's wrong questions, but it is best to summarize multiple sets of questions together to see if the answers to certain questions are insufficient, and find out your weak links.

2.Master the rhetorical devices in listening.

Two common figures of speech in TOEFL listening are exaggeration and simile.

Exaggeration is a rhetorical device that is deliberately exaggerated or pompous; It is characterized by achieving a strong rhetorical effect through the illogical exaggeration of the object.

Simile is to connect them with certain figurative words, such as like and as, with the help of people's desire to be cautious and leaky, so as to clearly show the similarities between the two and make the expression more vivid and interesting.

Only by understanding these rhetorical devices can we understand the extended meaning of the text and better answer the questions.

3.Learn about the American way of thinking.

American logic has a great influence on the new TOEFL listening test. According to American thinking, a speech should be structured like this: first, the main body paragraph explains the main points.

Questions will appear in the body paragraph to illustrate the main points. Usually in the first question, the approximate answer will appear in the subject sentence and 30 seconds before the start of the article. There will be questions in the sub-arguments and details, and the details related to the main idea are the next test center settings, which are all test points summarized according to American thinking.
