情景英语听力：托福考试前的准备—TOEFL Test Preparation

To get into many colleges and universities in North America, international students have to take the TOEFL Test (Test of English to Speakers of Foreign Languages) and get a good score on the test. Today, the test is used to determine how well a student might perform at an institution of higher learning. The test evaluates students listening, writing, speaking, and reading skills. To prepare for the test, students need to improve their language skills and learn test-taking strategies to do well on the test. Taking a TOEFL class help students prepare, but reading extensively and listening to academic lectures and news programs---and talking about them---can increase your ability to answer questions on the test.
