TWE

There are adittional part in the writting section. The first one is new while the second one is really the same as before

TWE PART I

1.You will read something, then again exposed to a university lecture. But it seems that what you read and what you hear contradicting each other. How would you describe that it may cause doubt to what you read? (Model question may vary).

--Today I received topic about teamwork. on the passage seams that teamwork is very rewarding, etc but infact when you listen to the professor talking, there are many disadvantage in teamwork. you need to write why such doubt cause concern to teamwork (comparison?) YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STATE OPINION. the response is pretty short.. it is suggested between 135 to 225 words

TWE PART II

Basically the same. issue over something in your general life. Over 300 words is recommended

--I got topic -- is trust should be the main consideration in building relationship?.. strange?

Impressed at .....

-The system as mentioned, is more sophisitcated. From the layout design, font, color selection, and tutorial is shorter though (not like before where they teach u how to click)

-You can't take your headphone off. On every section you barely can survive without it. Even writting and speaking you may need it. Very interactive and enganging.

-They get rid of the grammar section which is good for me.. or bad for some people

-They managed to divide long section into pieces. Like reading, you wil have 2 sections and listening 2 sections thus allow better time management.

-After all, TOEFL is very much improving. Known as "easy game" for some people, now TOEFL take great steps to make their test far more comprehensive.


Some dissapointment

-Somehow, I feel the computer takes a lot of time in loading. Changing one question to another may take up to 5 seconds which is quiet a distraction (Perhaps they involve more graphics)

-Test takes generally longer time. Since it is obvious that you have longer listening section and in adittion have speaking part. It takes 2 hour mnimum to complete the reading and the listening only

-I don'tmean to discourage but, the test is generally harder on many perspectives. There are many type of questions which is really full of ambiguity and demand a really excellent interpretations. Longer TOEFL preparation is perhaps imminent.

-I complained abou the longer time test; which put greater pressure. Believe me.. after bombarded by 6 lectures, I really feel bored and really tired. 2 writting?... OMG!

-The speaking part- Obviously you want or no- you will listen to other speaking. Well.. somehow those ear plug doesn't work well. and you uninetionally hear them and it draws you concentration... well its quiet a distraction ^^

--So far this all comments I could give..

I encourage and welcome any kind of questions regarding the new iBT Toefl I'm more than willing to help。
