More than 24 points If you just do this. Prepare for TOEFL Reading
The countermeasure for TOEFL Reading is to memorize English words, but there are many other methods, so I will share them.
More than 24 points If you just do this. Prepare for TOEFL Listening
I used to think that it would be all right if I practiced to the past questions of the TOEFL Listening over and over. The learning method was correct.
More than 24 points If you just do this. Prepare for TOEFL Speaking
TOEFL Speaking is not a conversation, just summarize what you hear and talk to the microphone, so if you can do that, you will get a relatively high score.
More than 24 points If you just do this. Prepare for TOEFL Writing
Even if you learn and use templates, many English words and expressions, your score will not increase because your sentence structure and consistency will be evaluated.

Recommended reference books for TOEFL speaking and writing

 

The art and training of expressing opinions logically in English

 

This book is a book for Speaking that can be applied not only to TOEFL but also to Eiken pre-level 1 and GRE. You can learn how to logically express your opinion, as well as expressions that show your approval and disapproval on various topics.

The purpose of this book is not to increase the number of words, but to expand the range of expressions in English for discussions and exams. You can’t expand your vocabulary, but your English expression will be much better. If you personally want to take Speaking countermeasures, this book is the best, and I can mention that it is the best reference book necessary for learning English.

 

English Writing The Best Technique 36

 

This book is very useful for TOEFL-based writing. You will be able to learn the necessary expressions and know-how to create sentences suitable for writing, and to write logically and consistently, but overall it is for advanced English leaners.

The purpose of this document is not only to be able to write high-scoring sentences. If you learn and understand this book well, it can be applied to TOEFL, ILETS, GRE, etc., and you will be able to create higher quality documents than you currently do.

Personally If you want to take measures against writing, this book is the best, and this is the best reference book that is indispensable for learning English.

This book is recommended for those who want to know the details of synonyms. In English, there are many words with similar differences. This book organizes and divides them well.

Depending on the situation or conditions, you can learn which English words are appropriate. This is not intended to expand vocabulary, but this is a slightly higher reference book because it consists of about 15,000 words.

I used it in combination with The art and training of expressing opinions logically in English and I was able to understand not only my ability to express myself in English, but also the differences in detailed meanings. I think it’s a good reference book to take the first step in becoming an English enthusiast.

In the end

I gave you the information. The rest depends on your efforts. This is my personal wish, please find out why you want to study English and how you want to use it in the future.

With TOEIC and English conversation, you can take measures in a short period of time and score easily, but TOEFL or ILETS takes time more than one year. It depends on your English ability, but it takes a lot of effort and patience to prepare for TOEFL while working or doing other things.

So, depending on the goal, I would like you to examine how much English is necessary for you. Have a fun English life ( ̄∇ ̄)
