Reading
Before you can ace a test, you have to understand what it's testing. The TOEFL reading section is a test on how well you can read and understand passages in written English. On the TOEFL reading section, you'll get three to four passages. These passages are written like textbooks; you won't see anything weird, like poetry.
Before you can ace a test, you have to understand what it's testing. The TOEFL reading section is a test on how well you can read and understand passages in written English. On the TOEFL reading section, you'll get three to four passages. These passages are written like textbooks; you won't see anything weird, like poetry.
Each passage will be followed by 12-14
questions. That's 36-56 questions in total. The questions will only ask you
about information in the passage. It's a test of reading comprehension, not
outside knowledge. Most of the questions will be multiple-choice, but you'll
also get a few special type called 'reading to learn questions,' which you'll
learn about later in this lesson. There won't be any essays.
The Passages
Now that you know what's on the test, it's
time to dive into strategy. Let's start with the passages. After all, you have
to read the passages before you can start answering questions about them! Here
are some tips for managing the reading passages on the TOEFL:
1. Read for the main idea, not the details
Skim the passage quickly to get the main
idea. After you're done, try to summarize the main idea in one sentence, and
then go straight on to the questions. This is good strategy because you don't
get any points for understanding the passage; you only get points for answering
questions. Most of the details in the passage won't show up in the questions,
so you don't need to worry about them.
It's true that some questions will ask you
about details. But for those questions, you can always go back to the passage
to check the details as necessary. It's faster and easier to work this way than
to try to read for every little detail the first time around.
2. Don't get hung up on words you don't know
Even if there are several words in the
passage that you aren't familiar with, don't panic. Instead of sticking on
individual words, focus on the meaning of the sentence as a whole. If you can
understand that, you're set.
The Questions
Once you've read each passage, you'll turn to
the questions. You'll get the best results from doing the questions from easy
to hard and using the correct strategy for each type. Here's the list, from
easier to harder question types. The easiest questions will probably be?
1. Questions about word meaning
These are the 'In context, -------- most
nearly means?' questions. If you're not prepared for these, they can really
wreck your day, but once you know how to manage them, they're some of the
easiest questions on the whole test. The key to getting them right is this:
they're about word meaning in context, NOT dictionary definitions. English
words can have several different meanings depending on how they're used in a
particular sentence. The word meaning questions on the TOEFL are testing whether
you can figure out which particular meaning is being used in this particular
case.
To answer these questions, go back up to the
sentence and read it through. Underline the word you're being asked about and
think of a synonym or another word you could replace it with. Then go back to
the answer choices and pick the best match for your word. This will make sure
you're thinking about the way the word is used in context, not the dictionary
definition.
2. Questions with paragraph references
After you zoom through the word meaning
questions, move on to the questions that will tell you specifically which
paragraph they're referring to. They should start with something like 'In
paragraph two?' These questions are still fairly easy because they tell you
exactly where in the passage to look for the answer.
3. Other 'normal-looking' questions
After the paragraph reference questions,
tackle any other standard multiple-choice questions (one question, four answer
choices). Then go on to?
Exercise Reading :
Whereas literature in the first half of the
eighteenth century in America had been largely religious and moral in tone, by
the latter half of the century the revolutionary fervor that was coming to life
in the colonies began to be reflected in the literature of the time, which in
turn served to further influence the population. Although not all writers of
this period supported the Revolution, the two best-known and most influential
writers, Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine, were both strongly supportive of that
cause.
Ben Franklin first attained popular success
through his writings in his brother's newspaper, the New England Current. In
these articles he used a simple style of language and common sense
argumentation to defend the point of view of the farmer and the Leather Apron
man. He continued with the same common sense practicality and appeal to the
common man with his work on Poor Richard's Almanac from 1733 until 1758. Firmly
established in his popular acceptance by the people, Franklin wrote a variety
of extremely effective articles and pamphlets about the colonist's
revolutionary cause against England.
Thomas Paine was an Englishman working as a
magazine editor in Philadelphia at the time of the Revolution. His pamphlet
Common Sense, which appeared in 1776, was a force in encouraging the colonists
to declare their independence from England. Then throughout the long and
desperate war years he published a series of Crisis papers (from 1776 until
1783) to encourage the colonists to continue on with the struggle. The effectiveness
of his writing was probably due to his emotional yet oversimplified depiction
of the cause of the colonists against England as a classic struggle of good and
evil.
