    Integrated Skills in Your Daily Life
    For Day 7, you will exercise your Speaking and Writing skills. Even though using two skills together is often
    challenging, the extra difficulty is worth it! The combination will build your abilities.
    Consider trying out this list of ways to practice your Speaking and Writing skills. These activities are similar to the
    integrated questions throughout the TOEFL iBT test.
    • Easy: Think about your favorite food (or your favorite anything!). Write a brief description of the food and
    why you enjoy it so much. Then, hide your writing and speak out loud about a time when you enjoyed that
    food. Consider recording yourself speaking. Listen to your recording and think about what you did well
    and what you can improve.
    • Medium: Read two articles on the same topic. Write a summary of each article, and then explain the ways
    in which they are similar and different. Consider recording yourself speaking about your comparison of
    the articles. Feel free to use your writing as a reference while you’re speaking.
    • Hard: Have a conversation with a coworker, friend, or family member about any topic. Explain your ideas
    and opinions, and ask them questions. Afterward, write down as many details from your discussion as you
    can remember. Write a summary of your conversation and include the different points you both made,
    any questions that were asked and answered, and what your favorite part was.
    • Hard: Watch a movie of your choice. Write a review of the movie and describe what you liked and disliked
    about it. Then, ask a friend (who has also seen the movie) what they think of it. Explain your opinions and
    have a discussion about the movie. Feel free to use your writing as a reference during your conversation.

    SPEAKING BOOST
    The best way to practice speaking is with native speakers of English. In some countries, you can find English-
    speaking tutors to help you with conversation skills. You can also find a friend to practice speaking with every day
    or record yourself speaking and evaluate your Speaking skills.

    You might try these general activities to practice your Speaking skills:
    • Listen to native English speakers and try to mimic their expressions. Learn to use idioms and other forms of
    informal speech that sound natural and appropriate.
    • Practice using contractions, such as it’s, there’s, and I’m, to sound more natural when speaking.
    • Work on your pronunciation, including word stress, intonation patterns, and pauses.

    Consider this option!

    The TOEFL Practice Online Speaking and Writing Practice Test will give you a realistic experience of the actual test
    sections, plus it will show which questions you answer correctly and incorrectly.

    1. Do other activities
    You’ve reached the half-way point of your 2-week study plan! Take a day to relax and recharge. It’s important to
    understand that taking breaks is not lazy!

    Breaks allow your brain to rest and process the knowledge you’ve gained. Researchers
    have shown that regular breaks help you retain information and perform better on exams.

    2. Reflect on your practice

    What techniques have you used to improve your Speaking skills?

    Sample reflection: I read the strategies for the Speaking section and have been building my English
    vocabulary. I talk with friends and people at work in English about many different topics when I can.
