Also, don't forget the important tips on how to answer question 2 on the test...
Would you prefer to go on a long trip by car or by train?
If i have to choose from car and train for long trip then i prefered to go by train only.
first resone is that if i go by train then i do not have to drive. I simply use my this time in reading books or any other magazines. And after long driving may be i can not enjoye the place of my destination. And if i go by train then i feel like fresh so i enjoye my trip as well as the place of destination also.
Second resone why i prefer train becouse, i meet with different peoples. And i talk with him and get involved in good discossion. And that way i improve my communication skills and mack new friend from different field.
So in my oponoin for long trip i would go by train ruther then driving car.
give me sugession
THis is a good response DJP. You stated your preference and then gave two supporting reasons.
Just a few corrections- it should be "After a long DRIVE" not driving, OR "I may not be able to enjoy my destination because I may be too tired after such a long drive".
I'd say about a score on 4. It's just needs a bit of polishing up, but the structure is there.
djp99,
This is really good. But I would suggest you to record this rather than writing because speaking is different than writing. You have to practice speaking for the exam.
By writing it's hard to judge the timing,intonations and pronunciations.
But overall its good.
Hope this helps :)
hello....please...i am stuck with the question 15,33.....can u give me some examples to get some idea? please!
Hello mike,
I will try to help you.
Here are my reasons (short notes)
15. Some students try to do moderate amounts of homework on a daily basis. Others prefer to get their homework done in one go over 1-2 days. Which do you prefer?
Homework on a daily basis
* can concentrate more on studies and easy to understand the lectures
* less burden
33. Some people want to have specific instructions or directions when they try something new. Other people like to experiment and work things out for themselves. Which do you prefer?
Experiment and work things out
* easy to remember and long lasting
* more satisfying and rewarding
Hope this helps!!

thank u all
but i am reallu afraid from this section I mean the speaking part ...
how could i practice?
is it by writing the answer first and then try to memorize it ..
because when i read some question and keep tring to answer ..i cant even have the ideas or the reasons...:(
I think this a good idea but in my opinion this practice must be few just for organizing mind.
After that it's better to record our speaking and then hear to that.
by the way I am fresh on studying TOEFL and so that probably my idea is not completely true.
