虽然不是传统意义上的好学生，但是也知道想要出国必须先过语言这关。个人而言，我一直觉得语言就是一门工具，而雅思对于我来说更多的是学习掌握技巧，考到申请学校需要的分数，然后开始留学生活。
听，说，读，写，四个大部分的侧重点不一样，自然要分配的自己的精力也就不一样。听和说相对于比较轻松，所以在准备雅思的过程中我把更多的精力给了读和写的部分。雅思的阅读对于单词的要求还是很高的。作为高中生，开始学习雅思以后才发现词汇量非常有待提高，所以背单词这一环节是绝不可少的。只是阅读中背的单词能运用到听和说中间还需要一定的重复量，不然就算看着单词有印象，也很难在听和说的时候立马使用。因此我当时觉得比较有用的方法就是把背过的单词自言自语的各种造句编故事，听起来有那么一点精神的赶脚，不过确实在多次使用后单词就自然能够烂在心里面了，不管之后是阅读还是写作，或者是听力还是口语，就都能拿出来使用了。总的来说，雅思的学习需要自己找到自己适合的方法，这样会离自己的目标更近。

I am Bob, one of the UI students. Right now I want to share some experience about TOEFL with you. When it comes to how to prepare for the TOEFL, I believe finding reliable teachers who know a lot about TOEFL is one of the best ways to dramatically improve your performances, since textbooks cannot answer many questions that you have. Frustrated students often give up, so it is important to have someone to answer your questions and to encourage you when you feel down. In this way, I highly recommend Wizshine, because after two months of study, my grades rose greatly.
In addition, my English teachers in Wizshine also gave me many tips to prepare for TOFLE which have been proved very helpful.
Firstly, to become an expert note taker. You will be required to take notes each session as you take TOEFL IBT. Because of that, practicing notes taking on the main idea and main detail is necessary.
Secondly, in the reading section. When it comes to the questions, you should concentrate the era that the questions subject to. Skim the passage, then read the questions, try to read more detail.
Thirdly , in the listening section, remember that on the real test you will only listen everything once. You have to train you ears listen fully the first time.
Moreover, in the speaking section, you should make sure you know how to use an expression properly before you try to use it on the exam.
Finally, in the writing section, the most important thing is to keep your writing simple and clear. And make sure you will use lots of examples to support you essay and transitional words and phrases which will make your essay easier to read.
