TOEFL要不要补习?
我觉得要看个人的英文能力，因为补习班主要是教考试技巧，网络上如ptt toefl版、SK2
toefl社团都有很多免费资讯可以利用。
建议可以上网做TPO，看自己的做题状况，再决定是否需要补习。
考满分或是小站托福都蛮好用的，也有APP可以下载，上班族通勤时练习时很方便。
各大补习班也有很多免费公开课可以去试听，我是有去听SK2的听力与口说公开课。
要先准备GRE/GMAT还是TOEFL?
大部分的人都说GRE/GMAT和TOEFL不要同时准备，因为两个考试的题型差很多。我自己是
因为时间很赶，所以补Mason GRE时，同时自修TOEFL。
先准备GRE/GMAT，提升阅读能力后再考TOEFL会比较轻松，我自己的心得是TOEFL的文章架
构比较简单，所以练习TOEFL TPO时，培养阅读的习惯，对GRE的阅读有一定的帮助，而GR
E的单字也可以帮助我在准备TOEFL时事半功倍。
接下来就分享我四科的详细准备方式
阅读
我的阅读能力没有特别突出，但在补GRE时，老师有教主动式阅读法，在阅读一篇文章时
，应该观察上下句子的相关性，比较可以在看完一篇文章后，记住各段落的重点。我也会
用尽量用一句话来概括每一个段落，这样做有助于最后一题的主旨题。
使用小站托福时，它有一个功能是会记录你错误的题型，对症下药会比较有效率。
听力
听力算是我的强项，两次TOEIC听力满分，但TOEFL的听力跟TOEIC其实差蛮多的。TOEFL的
听力一次3–5分钟，一不留意就会分心。
题材也相对多元，像是天文学或是艺术史，如果发现自己比较容易错某种类型的文章，可
以考虑补充一些背景知识。
准备方式也是练习TPO，听久了就会知道考点比较容易出现在哪，有转折词或做小结论的
部分容易出题。
我觉得在记笔记时，不必特别纠结字一定要拼对，在时间压力下，可以用简写、注音符号
或是图形，快速写下关键字。
口说
口说算是我蛮认真准备的一科，口说总共有四题：
S1：问你agree或disagree某件事情，What is your opinion? Explain why.
准备15秒，作答45秒。
S2：先给一篇阅读，再听一篇听力，通常听力会反对阅读的论点。准备30秒，作答60秒。
You will now read a short passage and then listen to a conversation on the sam
e topic. You will then be asked a question about them. After you hear the ques
tion, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to spea
k.
S3：先给一篇阅读，再听一篇听力，通常是阅读是在描述一个现象或专有名词，听力则是
会针对阅读的主题举例子佐证。准备30秒，作答60秒。
You will now read a short passage and then listen to a talk on the same academ
ic topic. You will then be asked a question about them. After you hear the que
stion, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to spe
ak.
S4：先听一篇听力做重点摘要，再口说回答问题，准备20秒，作答60秒。
You will now listen to part of a lecture. You will then be asked a question ab
out it. After you hear the question, you will have 20 seconds to prepare your
response and 60 seconds to speak. Now listen to a part of a talk.
我自己认为第一题最难，因为后面三题都是有提供你口说的素材，虽然题目百百种，你的
答案可以都用同一个或是类似的，我在听SK2的口说演讲课时，它是用money来举例，不管
问题是什么，都可以用我支持/反对的理由是因为我爱钱、我重视财富来回答。所以可以
想几个万用答案，在碰到题目时可以马上反应。
后面三题我有自己准备模板：
S2
In the reading material, the university is planning to ____________
Since_____________________,___________________(2 reasons)
In the conversation, two students are talking about this new policy/plan
And the man/woman agrees/disagrees with/like/unhappy about it.

mple of_________

推荐一个很好用的APP托福口说，身为一个分秒必争的上班族，我常常在走路或爬山时，
一边使用一边自言自语。

我建议可以加入J2 TOEFL，社团有免费提供最近的机经题，没空练写作的话可以针对常考
题，想几个论点或例子，我考试时就幸运遇到练习过的题目。
考场提醒
1.有时间去看看考场，考试当天比较不会紧张。
2. 阅读听力跟口说写作中间有休息时间，可以准备点心以防血糖过低。
3. 不要吃巧克力！我吃巧克力又忘记喝水，考口说时一度卡痰，幸好没影响到考试结果
。
4. 我考口说写作前，因为很紧张，没有马上进入考试页面，而是闭上眼睛深呼吸， 所以
开始考口说时，蛮多人已经进入写作阶段，受到的干扰比较少。
5. 我是在敦化地球村考试，虽然坐在最靠近马路的座位，但没受到什么影响。
考试心态
1. 建议要用一鼓作气的精神准备，毕竟考一次不便宜。
2. 上班族真的分秒必争，我都是利用搭捷运通勤时间练习阅读、听力，中午休息时间看
范文、抄打范文，走路练口说。
3. 考试前可以在ETS网站免费送四间学校的成绩单，如果已经确定申请校系的人可以好好
利用。
4. 早点报名考试，让自己有点压力蛮不错的，尤其到考试旺季一位难求。
最后祝福大家考试顺利～
