TOEFL

What skills do you need ot pass the TOEFL? We know that you need listening skill, grammar skill, and reading skill, in general, but what else? but what else? What are parts of those major sections that are most difficult?

Before studying foreign language, I think we also have to study our own language, because It's also a language. I don't think our foreign skills will increase even if our own language is not developed yet. Speaking is also important. Actually when people know how to speak it means that they already know much about grammar, reading and listening. TOEFL is an exam, so when we don't know the answers; we need a kind of luck. reading is the most difficult part for me to do it, because I don't know much about vocabulary, and I hardly practice reading parts.

How should a person best prepare for the TOEFL? Give them advice about sleep, food, wakefulness, exercise, coffee, or whatever you think is appropriate. How should a person feel on the morning of afternoon of the test?

Some people didn't get much sleep because of studying, but it's not a good idea. Sitting in a chair for a long time doesn't mean studying hard. We need concentration when we study, so we need enough sleep. Exercising a few times a week is good for our health. When our body is healthy, we can do a lot of things for a short time. I don't think coffee is good, because coffee has some materials that cause sleep disability, and it bothers our thinking clearly. I don't recommend drinking coffee when you are studying. I've read from books that said morning time is the best time to do something when it required concentration.
