...TOEFL Secrets Your Key to TOEFL Success From the desk of Tom Paulson, Director of Test-Taking Strategy at TOEFL Secrets, May 5, 2002Dear future TOEFL Success Story: Congratulations on your purchase of the most advanced test-taking manual for the TOEFL. Notice I did not say study guide- there are plenty of decent study guides on the market, but that was not our objective in writing this manual. Our goal is to seek and exploit specific weaknesses in the TOEFL assessment, and then share those secrets with our customers. Let’s be perfectly honest here- you’ve worked hard enough in the past, and if you want to spend hours in a study guide to boost your score, that’s a great thing to do. In fact, we recommend at least a brief review of some of the better study guides on the market. But that’s simply not enough to do well in the high-pressure high-stakes environment of the test day. How well you do on this test will have a significant impact on your future- and we have the research and practical advice to help you execute on test day. The product you’re reading now is much more than a study guide- it is a tactical weapon designed to exploit weaknesses in the test itself, and help you avoid the most common errors students make when taking the TOEFL. How to use this manual We don’t want to waste your time. This manual is fast-paced and fluff-free. We suggest going through it a number of times, trying out its methods on a number of official practice tests. First, read through the...

...The First Time of Taking TOEFL Test Outside the window, only a few houses still had their light on. The street lamps turned the glow color from white to yellow, a warm color that could pacify the anxiety of the passerby. I looked up at the sky. The dark blue sky extended to the boundless distant place, to the other side of the earth—America—the country where I wanted to go to school. To achieve this goal, I had to take two exams, the TOEFL and SAT. I took a deep breath, thinking about my TOEFL exam. Test Of English as Foreign Language, the first barricade I need to go through, now bothered me a lot. I was forced to practice it again and again, to make sure my score was good enough to apply the American universities. But my reading, listening, speaking and writing skills could not assist me to get an excellent grade. I knew it well. So I could not stay outside for a long period of time. I needed to come inside and begin my practice once more. “It’s time”. Dad sipped his hot tea, reminding me to continue my work. “Go do your work.” His gentle voice sounded like a ringing clock, low and deep but powerful, pushing me to obey his order. “Yes”. I responded, and turned on the computer to listen to the online TOEFL course. I attempted to note down all the key point the teacher said. She then started a listening practice. As the lecture began, I worked on taking note of the key words for the questions that would come out after the lecture. Hours later, after finishing...

Possible threats could be the comparative advantage towards competitors. The essential elements that make a company different from its current competitors in the same market and the posssibility of new entrants. My compentencies relate directly to the essential contencies of a SWOT anaylysis. A person has to look at a high powered workplace as being fast paced, knowledgeable of different technologies, and always being accessible to the company. A person can’t be far-sighted, willing to work with others and promote within. Finally unknown factors such as enviornment disaster, new company technology upgrades, and helping people learn new techniques, all have to be accounted for with my...
