Hello, dear friends! I don`t know if this is the right place to ask this question,but at leats I will try.Hope you don`t mind! I would like to study Spanish and I would be very happy if someone can tell me a good online course,e-book or with other words: a program(resource) that I can download from Internet. I don`t really have time to take courses,but I am really eager to study by myself! When I took my TOEFL I used to participate in this forum and I know that this is one of the best places where one can find the best info for languages! I am really looking forward to your replies and THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Best regards, Poli

Hi! My answers are as follow: 1) C -reduced clause 2) C 3) D - `so` is connector here

Hey,hitheredia,u did great job too! Congratssssssssssss!:-) Good luck!

Thank u,hitheredia and Vinay! Same to u,buddy Vinay!:-)

Hello,Erin and test magicians! I am sorry,I don`t even know if this is the right place to ask this question but I really need an answer or advice.I will apply for student viza for Holland university pretty soon.BUT I am in Germany right now and my question is can I apply for viza from other country,not my birth country(Bulgaria)?Will it be a problem thatI am on holiday in Germany and I want to apply from here instead of in Bulgaria? Thank u very much!

Hello,friends! Finally,I got my score and I want to share it with all of u.Well,as I can see here are many better scores,but personally I think I did what I should do.I needed 213 but I`ve got 230,so I am happy. Let me list my results from the four sections: Listening - 22 Struchture - 26 Reading - 21 Writing - 5 Listening section was not so easy and I thought I answered correctly most of the questions,but unfortunately my result can explain...I had 30 questions and at the first moment I was happy that were not 50!The short conversations were easy but the lectures were confusing.I want to tell all future test takers not to be in a hurry and do not panic when u do not know the answer.Just try to remember as much as u can from what u have heard.Be very very concentrated! Structure section was very easy and here I have to thank to all the guys from that forum who hepled me to reveal some important rules.Special thanks to Erin as well!I had 25 questions and I thought I got all them right(I had 12-28 points),but again my score showed me that I made some mistakes.I was very angry at myself coz I thought I already know all the grammer rules. Reading section was a nightmare for me.I had 55 questions.The first three texts I felt I am doing good,but after that I got tired and wanted just to finish the section.Actually,the reading is my weak section even when I made POWERPREP.I got 22-23 no more...And I want to share with u that I do read a lot of English books and I understand most of it.So,I suppose the TOEFL Reading section has some specific rules which I didn`t pay a lot attention before my exam.My tip here is practice as much as u can!!! Writing section - absolutely easy.I had very easy topic:Somy studets prefer to study alone,others in groups.Which one do u prefer and why? I must confess that I hadn`t written any essay before my test just because I was absolutely sure I can do that.Thanks to Erin for some essays which he posts on this wonderful website!I just took a look and understood the structure of the essay.That hepls me a lot!To the future test takers:Do not panic!This is the easiest part and if u have studied for the other three parts there is no doubts that u will write essay.U have 30 min which is a lot time!Be sure in ur ability and u will succeed! These are my explanations and I will be happy if they would help someone before the test.I prepared alone with this website and CDes(POWERPREP and Longman-I really recommend them to all who intend to take TOEFL in future!) for 2 months.I really hope that I will be approved by the Dutch university and will have no problems with student viza!I will be the happiest person if I can get it! Best of luck to u who are going to take TOEFL!Let`s all ur educational dreams come true! Best regards:Poli :cool:

Hi,there! I still believe that there is nothing wrong with `at the very least`.Pay attention that the underlined words are `at the`.Hence,we cannot change it into `at least`.

Hello,bataa! Here are my answers: 1)Although I am suspicious of `highly`, I would choose the last answer: `considerable`=>`considerate`. 2)I think that the last three answers are totally correct,that`s why I choose the first answer:`used by`=>`used in` 3)`safety`=>`safe` We need adjective here,not noun. 4)I choose A).Others do not make sense. 5)Frankly speaking,I have no clue.Can anyone help us?..I suppose C)

According to me C is the answer on question 2. We need inversion after `Not until`

Hehe,thank u so much,Vinay! I wil do my best,although my reading never be so good. Thanks again!:cool:

Hello,Vinay!!! I am sure u will get a high score! I remember reading ur essay and I think u have a great resource of words in ur mind and as Erin said u need to write more than few sentences to get 3 and I am sure u wrote more than few!:-) I will keep my fingers crossed for u!:-)

Hello,all of u! Actually,I remember this question and I answered with ©...

I already checked that in my dictionary :D

Hello,raghuveer_v, I am totally agree with u about the answers on this quiz,except questions 2 and 8. 2.I think it should be (D),because if u choose (A) u will relate `chromosomes` to the `the cell bodies that control...` which is incorrect.But I am still unsure...a little bit confused... 8.I think it should be `THE economy`.

I will keep my fingers crosed for u! My exam is on 26th March,so i am the next after u :)

The answer is (B) cardinal ==>usually appearS

Hi, I think the error is ©.It should be `serves the conduction of`.But this is my opinion. :)

Hello,Vinay I just read ur essay and I liked it!But I think that ut conclusion is not enough.U can say sth more in otder to unify ur thesis above.Despite that,I suppose u will be scored at least 5 on this essay or may be more!So keep on studying and writing,just like me! :cool:

Hello,Harbinger!Thanks for the clear exolanation:)!In my dictionary the first meaning of `potential` is adjective and when I saw `sales`(plural) I thought this coulb be the error,but u make me realize that as well as is the correction in this sentense.Thank u!

Then we need Erin`s hepl.I am confused!...I think than here `potential` is adjective and should be replaced before `sales`.Don`t u think so?

Hello,Erin! I am curious to know what is the difference between 4,5 and 5 scored essays? I took TOEFL two years ago and I got 4,5 without writing any essay before my exam :) and I remember that my score was boosted with 50 points.Now i am planing to take TOEFL again and I really would like the difference in scoring. Thank u! P.S I have a small tip for all future test takers.Don`t think that the essay section is so hard!It`s probably the easiest part in the test!In the end of the test you feel calm and all you have to do is to write your opinion about something.Imagine that you are writing a mail to close friend and you have to explain him what is your point of view.Take it easy and do not think about this essay as a masterpiece!

That`s what I think!U got me right!...smiles... BTW,when will u take your TOEFL?As I can see u are working very very hard and as I read some of your posts I learned new things. Bye :-)

Hello,guys! Hoang_luong,I am not agree with your answer on question number three.I think it should be ``the potential sales`.What do u think? Thank u

Hello,vvaann! Thank u for the explanations.But I didn`t get ur second answer.Do u thing it should be `in` instead of `into`?....About the third one I am fully agree with u,because as I thought again `simple sugars` are defined after that in the sentence,so it needs a determiner.

Hello,Erin and all hard working people on this site! Today I made the first test from Powerprep and I did it very well!But I am still confused with some of the questions which were given to me. Here they are: 1. ___ as children that most people first come in contact with myths. (a) When (b) It is © There are (d) There is I think the answer is (B). Am I right? 2. Copper was the first metal [used] by humans and is second [only] to iron [into] its utility through [the ages]. Is © the error here???? 3.Lactose, [a] sugar [present] in milk,is one [of simple] sugars used in [food] preparations for infants. I suppose it should be `a sugar presentED in milk`, but what about the uncountable noun `sugar`? I will be very please if I can get some explanations. Thank u very much!
