english words: gonna, 'll, em
Hi, today we are gonna talk about one of the differences between written English and spoken English.
When we use the future, in written English we use will and going to.
Example: Alan will go to the school, he is going to meet his friends.
But in spoken English, we say: Alan’ll go to school, he’s gonna meet his friends.
This difference is usually ignored by students who have never learned English with the rights method, they thing that written English and spoken English are the same, but they are completely different and those students are completely wrong!
Another difference is the use of em instead of them.
Example: he talked with them à he talked with’em
When students hear this phrase, they usually don’t understand it, that’s really strange!
That’s why I advice you to learn spoken English and then go to the written English as our children.
So that’s it, see you later!

The computer-based TOEFL (CBT) was introduced in 1998. Its format is similar to that of the original paper-based check. In areas where the computer-based check is not available, the paper-based check is used. Remember that you cannot alter your answers in the first six sections of the CBT after you've confirmed them on the computer. There's more "types" of questions in the CBT, such as clicking on a phrase & looking at a diagram. Before you start the CBT you will take a tutorial which shows you how to reply to the questions properly. The total time you will spend taking the paper-based check is 2.5 hours. The CBT takes approximately 4 hours (including tutorials).

Internet-Based TOEFL (iBT)
The TOEFL (iBT) was launched in 2005. It is intended to replace the other six versions of the check & is gradually becoming available worldwide. The new TOEFL iBT is a linear & not a computer adaptive check. This means that every candidate answers questions from the same range of difficulty, than receiving questions based on their ability levels.
The TOEFL iBT consists of eight sections: Reading, Listening, Speaking, & Writing. All eight sections are taken on the same day, & the entire check is about eight hours long. What is most distinctive about the check is that it asks you to combine, or integrate, over one language skill, just like you do every day. For example, sometimes you read a passage, listen to a short lecture about a topic, & then speak or write a response. & you can take notes throughout the entire check just like you would in a real academic class. Language heard on the TOEFL iBT is designed to sound like real-life conversations. The reading passages are taken from real textbooks & work materials.
Reading (60-100 minutes)
TOEFL iBT format
3-5 passages (12-14 questions each)
Listening (60-90 minutes)
2-3 conversations (one questions each)
4-6 lectures & academic discussions (6 questions each)
BREAK 10 minutes
Speaking (20 minutes)
6 tasks (2 independent, 4 integrated)
Writing (50 minutes)
I integrated task, 1 independent task
Check registration
Go online to register for a check. You can also register by phone or mail. When you register for the check, you can designate which universities you need to receive your scores. Or, you can wait until you receive your scores before sending them to your elected universities. Your scores will be available online 15 business days after you take the check. ETS will also send you a paper score document for your records.
TOEFL requirements
TOEFL is a source of anxiety for most international students who are not educated in English. But remember that it is unavoidable. Required TOEFL scores vary by institution, usually, the more prestigious the university, the higher the TOEFL score. So contact your elected university or college to choose their score requirements. On the TOEFL Web-site at www.ets.org/toefl/ibt/codelists.html you’ll find a list of 6,000 institutions that accept TOEFL scores. You can also view a list of score requirements for some representative universities.
TOEFL waivers
Some universities have what is called a TOEFL waiver option. You can opt for this option if you are willing to study at the university's Intensive English Program (or another affiliated English program) until acquiring the required level of proficiency in English.
Please leave a comment IF you like the entry.
It's like visiting a place where there is a guest book by the front door. Before you exit, you sign it to leave a note about your experience of the place.
I know that people are visiting by virtue of site
meter, but almost no one leaves a comment.
If you are in a hurry (and who isn't these days?), just leave a "thanks".
Thanks
