So, I recently interviewed Josh MacPherson, a teacher who specializes in helping students like you
to pass English proficiency exams like TOEFL and the Duolingo Test.
In this video we are sharing 7 tips that he gave to help you pass these exams.
We’re also going to learn vocabulary while having fun. We’ll be defining the interesting, more difficult vocabulary that Josh uses
and we’ll use example clips from Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and other funny TV series!
And if you are new here, well, every week we help you to understand fast speaking natives
without getting lost, without missing the jokes, and without subtitles,
like Lazly who says that our lessons are helping him to improve his IELTS score! So we want to help you with your English learning goals, too,
but we can only do that if you hit the subscribe button and the bell down below!
Well, let me know down in the comments below. I’d love to hear and learn more about you,
and the great thing about you doing this is that it helps us to make better and more useful lessons for you!
All right, so let’s recap what you have learned today: Josh gave you some orientation
about how to choose the test that is right for you. After that, you need to spend some time figuring out how they work
wrapping your head around it, as he said. The other tips are, to get a mentor or teacher,
set a date for your examination to make it real and put pressure on yourself, set a realistic goal,
that is, start small, baby steps, then build from there. Then, take practice tests,
you don’t want to make your official examination your first experience with the test.
Lastly, you might want to take a watch so that you can pace yourself,
but not like this one because it has to be one that is not digital. So, something that is not
fancy at all, that is not connected to the Internet.
