I have been listening to TOEFL for half a year, how should I prepare?

1.Increase your vocabulary. Proficiency in vocabulary in common test scenarios, including learning scenarios Memorizing words must be able to correct pronunciation.

2.Repeat memory.

3.The ears are familiar and form an auditory image. The reason why candidates feel that they can't understand is that there are too many new words, even if the speed of speech is slow, they still don't know what to say. Memorizing words must not only use the eyes, but also listen to the words, speak the words, and make the ears familiar with it.

4.Memorize words selectively. Verbs and adjectives should definitely see one and the other because verbs are the soul of a sentence, and adjectives indicate positions, states, and moods. If you want to memorize words, go to the TOEFL vocabulary class at Beijing New Oriental to listen to the core vocabulary.

5.Master the pronunciation characteristics of TOEFL listening and beautiful sounds, and pay attention to continuous reading, swallowing, and sound change.

I can tell you responsibly that what you ask for in the title is impossible to achieve, listening is a long-term process, and there are no shortcuts.

However, according to your specific situation, since you can understand the conversation, it means that you have no big problems in basic pronunciation. In other words, it's not that you can't listen well, but that you don't have enough grasp of the subject. This should be considered a relatively advanced stage.

It is strongly recommended that you stop doing dictation, because dictation is only helping you solve the problem of pronunciation. The new TOEFL paragraph requires a grasp of the overall structure of the article. The 1-minute paragraph of the old trust and the 4 6-minute paragraph of the new trust cannot be the same in terms of level and depth, and the requirements for the test takers are also different.

At this stage of your life, you are still using Lao Tuo to do dictation, and it is certain that there is no progress. Just like a student who is always doing beginner and intermediate exercises, it is impossible to master the high school content even if he collapses.

Many people have a misconception when doing listening, thinking that they must understand all the texts in order to do it, but in fact, Xintuo spans more than a dozen disciplines in arts, science and engineering, and it is unlikely that every student can fully understand it. For example, there are a lot of science subjects that I teach to liberal arts students in Chinese, and they may not really understand. So, in the face of an article, it is already very good to be able to understand seventy or eighty percent.

Then it comes to the principle of ETS, which is very clear about the above fact. Therefore, the questions are relatively shallow, and according to the original text, there is generally no extension. More importantly, ETS will emphasize the question point, and there will generally be no strange vocabulary and expression in the point mentioning part, and it will usually be emphasized repeatedly.

You can't get these things in a short paragraph. Another point is that when you do dictation, you listen again in sentences, and stop to write after each sentence, which is a process of understanding. But when you are doing a long paragraph, or when you really do the question, you should listen to the "argument" as a unit, what details are in the argument is not very important, the real details of the question account for a very small proportion, and most of the answers to the question ultimately come down to the "argument".

said that those mock test software questions are not good, in fact, there is a big gap between what they do and ETS at this point. But when you are listening, there should be no pauses between sentences.

So, according to your situation, start practicing a lot of long jokes. It doesn't matter if you don't understand at first, it's because you're not used to this way of thinking, and it doesn't mean that your listening level is wrong. It's good to do it for a while, I started dictating all day long like you, and then I stopped and did a few 120s, and I turned around doing OG, which is basically all right (OG is relatively simple, suitable for finding confidence).

In addition, a method is introduced, which is to listen horizontally according to the discipline, and at the same time solve the professional vocabulary of the discipline, you can record the words of Zhang Hongyan by class, and the first classification is the subject classification. After memorizing the words, find out a few paragraphs of the subject, listen, do the questions, correct, and analyze the points of the question and the relationship between the topic and the article. You will find that although you don't seem to understand it well, the effect of doing the questions is actually very good.

After the test, you should relax, as for improving your listening and speaking, you should keep your daily conversation more open, imitate more, and if you have time, you can come to the IELTS lifebuoy to improve your speaking.

If you don't want to sign up for classes, you can watch the TV series with Chinese and English subtitles.

If you're going to school.

Recommend "Big Bang Theory" The academic atmosphere is very strong, and it is also very humorous, and you can also learn slang, new words, etc., highly recommended!

Hello classmates!

Now that there are only two weeks to prepare for the exam, it is impossible to improve your listening skills to a very high level, so the main task at this stage is to improve your test-taking skills and improve your scores. Stick to the mock questions every day. Here are some suggestions:

1. Study the explanation of the OG listening item question type and the explanation of the problem-solving skills.

2. Blue delta mock test practice to help understand the TOEFL test.

4. TPO test questions are real mock test drills.

5. Pay attention to the situation of the online ** test questions at any time, and track the practice in time.

Good luck with your exams!

Your problem may be a problem with vocabulary and pronunciation. Listen to the listening text a few times without looking at it, then listen to it a few times, compare it carefully, and experience what the problem is.

It's not the quantity that matters, it's the number. Dictate the same passage over and over again, to understand the pronunciation of words, many times you can't understand because your own pronunciation of a word is wrong, not the correct pronunciation at all, so you will not understand when you listen to listening. Also, learn to take notes.

TOEFL listening is all detailed questions, don't write them all down, learn to write down the key points. Often, the places he repeats or rereads are the test points.

It's best to go to New Oriental TOEFL training, where the effect is very good, two months of intensive training, my classmates went, and the listening and speaking standards were up.

On the one hand, it is necessary to strengthen listening practice, and listen to TPO every day for the remaining two weeks, at least 17 sets, enough for you to listen, and the other is to learn the skills of listening and doing questions, and some of the experience of doing questions should also be summarized. Before the test, you should simulate the environment of the test room. There is also the need to relax, the more nervous you are, the more you can't understand.

It is recommended that you don't think too much, go into battle easily, and fight again if you don't do well in the exam!
