thank you so much mr. alex

boby arianto

Excellent lessons, thank you.

balagog7

Thanks Alex, this video was very useful.

However, I’d like to correct a little misunderstanding: actually, according to ETS, it is not allowed to bring notebooks, pens or pencils to the test centre. They will provide sheets of paper (03 in general) and 01 pencil for the task takers. I personally hate this policy because I don’t like to use pencil. In addition, that one which was lent me had a very bad quality and needed to be sharp too many times.
If one of you guys have any question, please check the ETS website – test takers section.

See you.

Hi Alex.

Thanks for the suggestions

when I take the Toefl exam, ¿should i SPEAK and WRITE in a formal manner or should i sound like a native speaker? . For example, which of the following is better:
She is the woman I work for
She is the woman for whom I work

And can i use contractions:
i’d like to go the city
i would like to go to the city

Thanks

Mai Darwish

I got 100.thank you.. It is a great video..

I’m a TOEFL speaking rater. The advice about having to give at least two reasons is simply wrong. To get a top score in topic development, it’s much more important to have a coherent, sustained, focused response. Test-takers who try to find two reasons often use vague generalities (“to learn more knowledge,” “to enhance social skills,” “to broaden my horizons”) with undeveloped support. One well-developed reason with specific details and examples is much more likely to give you a high score.

Hi! I’m from Dominican Republic and since March I’m getting ready by myself to take the TOEFL. You don’t have any idea about how good it feels to find all these free lessons online, especially when you do not have enough money or time to go to any school, anyway, nowadays I work for an airline, which makes me able to afford tickets at a really low price to Canada, in spite of the institutions we have to take the TOEFL here, I prefer to take it in Canada and meet all the team who are making possible my dreams come true. Whether if I can get in 2018 a scholarship or not to study in an English native speaker country, I truly know, I will be glad for all the things I could have learned by the end of this journey; I prepared a self-taught program and it is supposed to be done by the end of this year. Wish me good luck and thanks! Question: Does EngVid is completely online? Or Do you have any institution which I can chose online when I pay for the TOEFL as a location to take the test and kill 2 birds with one stone meeting you guys?
