FLUENCY EX.5

The most stressful aspect of the TOEFL is the TOEFL itself. There are many reasons making the TOEFL a very stressful event. For example, first, I can't sleep the night before taking the TOEFL, I just keep thinking about the test. Second, I worry about how I can manage my time during the TOEFL test. Third, I worry about I can keep concentrating during the TOEFL test, during the three hours. Fourth, I always think about the TOEFL as the door I should open to study in the university because it is required. Fifth, the last two weeks before the TOEFL test, I usually keep doing many practice tests to be in the mood for the TOEFL and that gives me stress. Sixth, some people make noise during the test by keep moving their feet on the floor and that is really stressful thing for me. Seventh, the third part of listening is very stressful because it always becomes as a long lecture about some majors I didn't study before. Finally, the TOEFL test conditions cause many physical and psychological reactions.

There are many ways to improve your study of vocabulary. First, try to read more articles, magazines and newspapers. Next try to write down all of the new words that you didn’t understand. Translate the new words using an English-English translator machine or book. List the new words into groups, for example, medical group, economic group and accounting group, etc. Then, try to read them and keep them in your mind by using them the next day. Moreover, you can write any small article for yourself using the new words. Suffixes and prefixes will help you to know more vocabulary. For example, there are many suffixes that lead you to know what the word is, noun or adjective. Finally, it is important to know the different kinds of the part of speech.

When I face any stressful events I start to be confused for about 10 seconds. Then I start to analyze the situation or the stimuli. If is it a big stressful event I try to calm myself down and try to solve my way of thinking quickly. Because when I arrange myself, in my mind, and my ideas, I start my reaction against it. Then I try to convince myself it is easy and and I can pass it. Sometimes I take a deep breath and count from one to ten calmly. How does that work?? It depends on the stressfulness and how harmful it is. Sometimes I pass the stress very easy. And other times I couldn't because it is more than what I can resist. But before I sleep on the day I faced the big stressful event, I should figure up a solution and do my best to go with it the next day.

The most stressful things for me are failing in exams, losing marks, coming late, missing a flight, or losing important things. The last time I suffered was at the beginning of my studying in the university. I was studying computer science which was one of my dreams. But I met a group of friends and they weren't a hard studying people. At the end of the first semester I had failed in two subjects. It was my first time in my life. When I got my grades I felt like I was such a loser, and it was shameful to tell the others, especially my family. I couldn't sleep well, I keep thinking all the time about my life and what I'm going to be. Next I recognized that I have to change my major, my group, and try to meet a new studies group. Finally I found myself improved and succeeded.

One of my dreams when i was young was to be a doctor. The main reason is to help people who are suffering of sickness. There are other reasons, for example, it is a respected job, you can get a good salary, and people can't live without doctors. On the other hand, there are some negative points. For example when someone has a dangerous disease and I can't help, that work makes me feel I'm useless. Another negative point is when I do my best to treat a patient, then one of his/her family said that you killed him/her. Some people don't know that doctors like to see them fine, in a good health and in a good mood. Furthermore I would hate when some patient comes late and says, help me, and I can't do anything for him/her. In my opinion the most stressful thing would be when someone died in front of me.
