I recently received my TOEFL scores. I just had two weeks for preparation and I referred your videos for preparing. I'm very thankful to you, I got 29 in listening.
A piece of advice to everybody. 25:40 don't do this on the test. Try even to avoid looking up into your notes. You won't have time to read the question, to consider all possible answers, to search for the relevant information and, lastly, to figure what fits best. Jotting down notes will simply be your memory aid: by writing sth down (comprehensively) you send a signal to your brain that this information is important and it has to remember it. So essentially everything that you've written down over the last 3 minutes will stick in your head. That's basically how short-term memory works. Glad to help :)
I don’t know if it is me or not but I think there is a detail people forget to mention about the actual TOEFL test. You don’t have that much time to check the answers from the notes you took. I think the point of the whole listening section is for you to remember the content of the lecture or the conversation. As far as I can remember, you’re given like 5 minutes to respond to more than 10 questions. If you spend a few seconds checking your notes, it’s likely that you’ll run out of time before you answer all of the questions. I practiced at lot using an official TOEFL preparation book and a CD that accompanies it. Drawing from my experience I can say the way the listening section is designed in the actual test (or at least the time you are given for answering) is very different from what you have got from the official preparation Book.
I just got my TOEFL results, I got a 114!! (R: 29/30, L: 28/30, S: 30/30, W: 27/30). I just wanted to thank you because your videos on RUclips really helped me achieve my dream score! I thought I would get a 96, and look at that! Thank you, thank you!.
Hello, Marina! I had to pass TOEFL test in a month, so I decided to practice my English more. It was surprising when I discovered that my English Listening skill is not good then I thought. It was so helpful for me because I know what I need to pay attention more. I think if you will do the same video about other options of TOEFL it will great and so helpful for us who is going to pass TOEFL. So thank you so much!
I think these type of exams aren’t about your English but your comprehension. I mean if you take this test in your native language, you’ll probably have the same problems that are going on here. That’s difficult. I got my brain dead after this video, probably 50 percent of the answers wrong
Maybe not, because Indonesia has so many islands. Honestly, Japan Is much better than Indonesia, from technology, government, neighboorhood, and mindset.
@@mrsnadiem6623 sorry bro dia hanya nanya pulau di Indo yg sama nggk seperti jepang, lu nggk perlu ngomongin kejelekan indonesia, trus lu harus tau klo di indonesia memiliki ribuan pulau, itupun klo lu ngerti apa yg gua tulis di sini.
Hello Marina 😊 I'm so glad you made a video concerning the listening skill. My TOEFL test is on the 17th of this month and I think I need to focus more on my speaking skill because I get nervous at times and mess things up a bit so I think I'll need a video concerning that. Besides that I follow up all your videos and love the way you motivate everyone 😊❤️. Wish me luck 🤞🏾🙂
It must be my lucky day 😉 it may sound as unreal, believe me guys ,I'm not bragging 🚫 showing off or STH like that, but all my answers were correct without taking notes, because I was on the bus 🚌 no marker ,no paper, just my wallet with some cards and some cush , the topics were clear , straightforward , I was able to catch all the information and store them in my head, thnx to my memory this time, it served me well, ☺️ which is not the case for most part !!! It used to let me down when I need it the most , miracles still exist, it's magic guys 🤗 I enjoyed listening the whole process , TEFL I'm ready for you 😁
I got 98 in TOEFL iBT 4 years ago. I am taking the test this Saturday again. Hope to achieve something similar. Thank you for your lessons, they are really handy and useful.
Awesome video Marina! Thank you so much. But actually Dean Adams worked in speciation in South America, so that’s the reason it was option D. Love from Colombia ❤
De: Johnnathan Para: Marina 👏👏👏 There are many people who come to watch your videos and complain about mistakes made, as if the person who made the comment didn't make a mistake. This makes me very sad, knowing that these people think they have the right to claim content that helps thousands of other people is very sad. Marina, continue to teach what you know, always make your work a space for growth and that everything you do becomes bigger and bigger. I'm Brazilian and I've learned a lot around 2 years of studies, if today I can speak English it's because you were part of this journey.
Hello maam , when am trying to speak something in English than mine mind goes blank after some lines.... but am practicing through yours helpful videos....and also improving mine communication also.... thanks maam
23:53 look at the cut. She wronged this question. She did option A at first. Then she corrcted it and uploaded after cutting the video and gave the explanation somehow.
That was pretty hard but I did great. I didn't have anything next to me to take notes (and I was too lazy to go get them) so I take the test without taking notes. They actually taught me French at school the very hard way , so I guess I'm used to it.... Thank you for what you're doing for us Marina....
hello Marina, my name is jane am in Belin German but i have my TOEFL exam on this Saturday: have been practicing with you ever since i registered for this paper but i am kinda curious about but i hope i will make it. but sincerely thank you so much for your help.
somehow disappointed in doing it for the first time , like my notes were useless and some of the most important facts that I didn’t even noted .. i need to practice way more and learn how to write key words .. thanks again bestie 💓
I think the hardest thing about taking this test is that you have to read each sentence and answer option, choose the answer, and listen to the audio all together. Also, you may listen to the audio only once or twice. I think this test is about attention, not listening.
mano, melhor não ficar vendo os vídeos dela. Procura no youtube que tem vários professores de inglês nativos apontando os erros que ela comete. Aí vc vai perceber que ele não manja tanto assim de inglês.
I PREPARED MYSELF TO TAKE THE TOEFL EXAM PRIMARILY USING LINGUAMARINA'S VIDEOS . AND DEFINITELY IT WAS WORTH IT. I RECOMMEND HER 100%. I ACHIEVED MY GOAL TO ENTER IN A FOREIGN UNIVERSITY!!! THANKS MARINA, YOU'RE AMAZING. CHEERS FROM SPAIN :)
Thanks💛 it was useful)) Fortunately not that hard, but I think when you actually there because of stress... personally I could really mess things up) By the way I don't think that taking notes works for me, I mean I don't know how can you write things down and not missing what they saying at the same time😂 but just listening works for me, if I listen carefully it's not like I forget things
The best teacher ever 🌸.... can u make a video about the difference between (un,dis) dislike untruth, like why we can't say unlike ,distruth.............and thank you 🌸you are teaching us amazingly😀
Hi Marina, My congratulations for doing your TOEFL Listening Test successfully and I am happy Marina when you got 170 marks from the test. Marina, I will also thankful to you for sending me the PDF. I would like to do this TOEFL Test Marina under your guidance
Hi Marina I loved this video, but I have a question about taking notes how can a write down notes on a piece of paper in a plastic bag, that means we have to earase things and not write a lot of details
Guys pls in q1 the 3 question i went back and i didn't hear any numbers of workers mentioned so can someone pls explain why it's we chose the first answer
Hello Marina , thanks for your videos , especially for your speaking template. In 2 days my toefl will start and I want to ask if you have writing template. I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. I am eagerly waiting your response.
looks like toefl is not just about testing your english, but your focus, stamina, memory. people should not judge others mastery in english language from toefl. it is like judging how high someone can jump by their basketball career achievements
Hey there, will the countdown in the current 2014 version of the test start with the listening passages or only during the questions? I got confused. There are 35 minutes time, right? Thank you so much!
hey Tshirt, some people have told me these examples are too easy compared to the actual test. Is that so? They also say the speed of the conversations is clearly enhanced as they keep coming, and that the accents are way harder to understand. Please let me know if they're just trying to scare us.
You are great lingua marina...Your videos are amazing.Whenever I become free I watch your videos and I learn a lot...The way you teach us and the way you word hard for us is really appreciating..We love you 😘

are you on instagram? I have some doubts about the toefl
Hi there! What is your English level?
How did u get it? just by watching her videos?

Wow didn’t know that!!
Yaa, and we have to remember what audio said before. So, I feel strange when you said we need to write some notes while listening audio before 😁
I like the way you speak , and I like your voice too,I like to watch your videos till the end even if I don't understand completely what you say,
