Speaking and Writing Strategies for the TOEFL iBT (Book & Audio CD) - Download

Increase your TOEFL iBT score by increasing your speaking and writing scores. How? By using the strategy called argument mapping. Why argument mapping? Because the TOEFL iBT speaking and writing sections are all argument-based tasks. That means if you want high speaking and writing scores, you must know how to map out (develop and deliver) spoken and written arguments, quickly and proficiently. With argument mapping, you will be able to do just that. Best of all, you can apply argument mapping to all six speaking tasks and both writing tasks. That means you will spend less time reading about strategies and more time practicing them.

I have taken TOEFL recently and scored 29 on writing section and 25 on speaking. I am very satisfied with my scores, and I can assure you that the tips you will find in this book will help you improve your scores drastically.

This books, without doubt, gives you excellent strategies for writing section. It shows explicitly how you can write better introduction and conclusion paragraphs. It also makes you accustomed to the 3-paragraph reasoning format of American students' essays. I previously scored 25 on writing section, but using the strategies in this book I improved my score by 4 points up.

The speaking strategies are very similar to the writing strategies of the book, but they give you the idea of how to approach to the possible question types you might find on the real exam.

I strongly suggest you to take a look at this book before the exam. Good luck on the test.
