WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.179 hey guys welcome to lingo Marina and 2 00:00:03.179 --> 00:00:06.359 welcome to the TOEFL study plan if you 3 00:00:06.359 --> 00:00:08.639 have four weeks until your TOEFL test 4 00:00:08.639 --> 00:00:11.400 watch this video carefully because these 5 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.160 four weeks can change the whole 6 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.800 trajectory you have to be wise about 7 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.440 them you have to do things that I'm 8 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.300 going to talk about in this video to 9 00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:23.039 make sure you feel great during the exam 10 00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:24.960 to make sure you're confident during the 11 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.000 exam because all of this is really 12 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.580 important for you to pass the TOEFL test 13 00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:32.279 and score whatever you need a score now 14 00:00:32.279 --> 00:00:33.960 your situation is better than mine 15 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.120 because when I found out that I had to 16 00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:38.640 take TOEFL I also found out that I had 17 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.219 to take GMAT and the GMAT test is much 18 00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:44.820 more complicated than TOEFL so my study 19 00:00:44.820 --> 00:00:47.940 plan looked like this get ready for GMAT 20 00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.979 and if you have some time left get ready 21 00:00:49.979 --> 00:00:52.320 for TOEFL so I only had 10 days to 22 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.300 prepare for the TOEFL test but the good 23 00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.399 news is even if you only have two weeks 24 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.160 if you only have one week this video is 25 00:00:59.160 --> 00:01:01.980 still going to be very useful for you 26 00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:03.840 now let's talk about the plan that 27 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.119 worked for me worked for the students 28 00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:08.040 who watch this Channel and worked for 29 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:09.600 the students who took a TOEFL course 30 00:01:09.600 --> 00:01:13.680 week number one you have six out items 31 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.438 on the list item number one 32 00:01:16.438 --> 00:01:20.100 get acquainted with a test make sure you 33 00:01:20.100 --> 00:01:22.438 know that it has four parts that they're 34 00:01:22.438 --> 00:01:24.540 gonna check your Reading Writing 35 00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:27.180 listening and speaking skills that there 36 00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:28.979 are different types of questions in 37 00:01:28.979 --> 00:01:31.080 every section that there are several 38 00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:33.119 types of essays that you're gonna write 39 00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:35.100 that there are several things that you 40 00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:36.900 should pay attention to when you're 41 00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:39.840 doing the listening section so this is 42 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.360 your chance to make sure that you 43 00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:45.540 understand what the TOEFL test looks 44 00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:48.000 like task number two and this is super 45 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.220 important get acquainted with the 46 00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:52.799 strategies that would help you answer 47 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.259 questions in the TOEFL test the thing is 48 00:01:55.259 --> 00:01:57.000 there are strategies for every section 49 00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.220 for example the reading section includes 50 00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:01.619 three four passages with 10 questions 51 00:02:01.619 --> 00:02:05.100 each and you have 54 to 72 minutes 52 00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:07.020 depending on how lucky you are depending 53 00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:09.360 on how many questions you got to answer 54 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.038 all of them and there are different 55 00:02:11.038 --> 00:02:13.800 types of questions purpose reference 56 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.080 vocabulary and so on and there are 57 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.419 difference strategies for each question 58 00:02:18.419 --> 00:02:21.540 for example to answer rhetorical purpose 59 00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:24.120 questions you read the question first 60 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.180 you don't really look at the answers you 61 00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:29.879 go and find the paragraph in the reading 62 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:31.860 section you start looking for the 63 00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:34.860 keyword that's in the question then you 64 00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:37.440 read one or two sentences that come 65 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:39.599 before the sentence with that keyword 66 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.940 and those sentences would normally 67 00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:44.519 contain the answer the thing is the 68 00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:46.980 TOEFL test is like maths you need to 69 00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:49.080 know the strategies you need to know how 70 00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:51.120 to answer each type of question because 71 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.360 sometimes the texts are so complicated 72 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.879 and you just get lost like for me those 73 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.940 strategies were game changers my English 74 00:02:59.940 --> 00:03:02.160 was pretty good at the time I took the 75 00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:04.680 TOEFL test and I was able to score 117 76 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.379 out of 120 but what I think is that 77 00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:09.720 without those strategies 78 00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:12.239 my grade could have been 79 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:15.360 100 or even 90. because this is how much 80 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.760 knowing those strategies affects your 81 00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:20.400 performance task number three find 82 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.200 someone who's gonna give you feedback 83 00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:24.300 now getting ready for the TOEFL test by 84 00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:26.400 watching videos on YouTube is a really 85 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.280 good strategy and I've made over 10 86 00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:31.739 videos about this test myself however 87 00:03:31.739 --> 00:03:34.200 the problem is with the videos you're 88 00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:36.480 not getting any feedback for example if 89 00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:37.860 you're doing your speaking section 90 00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:41.159 there's no one to read your answer or if 91 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:42.959 you're writing an essay there is no one 92 00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:45.120 to rate your essay When I Was preparing 93 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.040 for my TOEFL test I actually asked my 94 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:49.440 American friend to look over my essays 95 00:03:49.440 --> 00:03:52.260 and I found some mistakes but because he 96 00:03:52.260 --> 00:03:54.799 wasn't trained to check 97 00:03:54.799 --> 00:03:57.480 TOEFL essays he couldn't give me 98 00:03:57.480 --> 00:03:59.879 feedback regarding structure regarding 99 00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:02.340 usage of more advanced vocabulary and 100 00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:04.140 this is why I would recommend finding a 101 00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:06.840 teacher who specializes in the TOEFL 102 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.000 test at language herb we have a TOEFL 103 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.299

120 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.279 provide personal feedback and don't 121 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.320 forget to use the promo code link single 122 00:04:55.320 --> 00:04:57.479 Marina to get a special discount the 123 00:04:57.479 --> 00:04:59.820 link is down in the description box task 124 00:04:59.820 --> 00:05:03.120 number four is for you to take a 125 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.400 practice test I recommend you take it in 126 00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:08.279 one sitting just like on your TOEFL test 127 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:09.779 day just because 128 00:05:09.779 --> 00:05:12.600 the exam lasts for three hours with a 129 00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.300 short break between the listening and 130 00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:17.339 the speaking sections and things get 131 00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:19.440 stressful you need to make sure you had 132 00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:22.500 enough to eat you use the restroom like 133 00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:25.380 all of that stuff but also you need to 134 00:05:25.380 --> 00:05:27.660 learn how to stay focused for three 135 00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:30.660 hours straight and again I am glad the 136 00:05:30.660 --> 00:05:32.400 reading section comes first because this 137 00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:35.100 is where you have to be as sharp as 138 00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:38.940 possible if you can regulate this but it 139 00:05:38.940 --> 00:05:41.339 is just so hard you need to be really 140 00:05:41.339 --> 00:05:43.020 focused on your reading section like pay 141 00:05:43.020 --> 00:05:45.060 attention to every single word because 142 00:05:45.060 --> 00:05:48.000 it's super intense it gets easier with 143 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.919 listening but it's still kind of intense 144 00:05:49.919 --> 00:05:51.300 and then 145 00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:54.120 I think writing is more about your 146 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.880 creativity and being attentive versus 147 00:05:56.880 --> 00:05:58.680 you know paying attention to every 148 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.660 single thing that's going on it's it's 149 00:06:00.660 --> 00:06:02.699 more relaxing so I'm actually glad that 150 00:06:02.699 --> 00:06:04.919 the test flows the way it flows starts 151 00:06:04.919 --> 00:06:06.779 with a reading section then goes on to 152 00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:08.820 the listening section then short break 153 00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:11.100 then speaking and writing and then 154 00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:13.259 you're done number five analyze your 155 00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:15.539 weaknesses and strengths after you take 156 00:06:15.539 --> 00:06:17.339 your practice test and by the way you 157 00:06:17.339 --> 00:06:20.460 can take it on the website ets.org this 158 00:06:20.460 --> 00:06:22.319 is the official organization behind the 159 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.020 TOEFL test and what they're gonna do 160 00:06:25.020 --> 00:06:26.819 they're actually going to show you all 161 00:06:26.819 --> 00:06:28.680 of the questions that you got right or 162 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.120 wrong so you would actually get your 163 00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.339 points for the reading and for the 164 00:06:32.339 --> 00:06:35.039 listening sections and the maximum that 165 00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:37.860 you can get on those sections is 30 so 166 00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:39.900 you will see whether it's like 20 out of 167 00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:42.300 30 or 15 out of 30. unfortunately if you 168 00:06:42.300 --> 00:06:44.339 don't have a teacher or if you're not 169 00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:45.900 enrolled in the course there won't be 170 00:06:45.900 --> 00:06:48.120 any feedback on your writing and 171 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.400 speaking sections but at least you will 172 00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:53.279 be able to practice doing all of them in 173 00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.259 one sitting now after the practice test 174 00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:57.539 I want you to analyze your feelings what 175 00:06:57.539 --> 00:06:59.699 was the most difficult thing if you're 176 00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:02.819 striving for a hundred out of 120 on 177 00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:05.039 your TOEFL test then you would need to 178 00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:07.139 score at least 25 points on each section 179 00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:10.199 right what if you scored 15 out of 30 on 180 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.000 your reading section this is where you 181 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.780 draw conclusions about what was the most 182 00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:17.819 difficult thing for you and then you 183 00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:19.800 build the whole preparation process 184 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.979 around focusing on the most difficult 185 00:07:22.979 --> 00:07:25.319 part first so if reading was the most 186 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.620 difficult part then you start every day 187 00:07:28.620 --> 00:07:31.979 every class with the Reading part and 188 00:07:31.979 --> 00:07:34.500 then you move on to the sections that 189 00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:36.180 were easier for you and this is 190 00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:38.880 basically task number six start focusing 191 00:07:38.880 --> 00:07:41.099 on your weaknesses pure weakness is the 192 00:07:41.099 --> 00:07:43.319 reading section and do it over and over 193 00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.139 again find more practice tests find more 194 00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:48.599 exercises just do them over and over 195 00:07:48.599 --> 00:07:50.460 again now week two is all about 196 00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:52.680 practicing and working on your 197 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.199 weaknesses task number one dedicate one 198 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:57.419 day to each section and start with your 199 00:07:57.419 --> 00:07:59.340 weakness take at least two practice 200 00:07:59.340 --> 00:08:02.580 tests for that specific section for 201 00:08:02.580 --> 00:08:04.680 reading and listening review the wrong 202 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.599 answers and practice the types of 203 00:08:06.599 --> 00:08:09.180 questions where you made mistakes for 204 00:08:09.180 --> 00:08:12.300 speaking and writing pay attention to 205 00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:14.940 how much extra help you need with 206 00:08:14.940 --> 00:08:17.460 grammar and vocabulary for example if 207 00:08:17.460 --> 00:08:19.259 you think about a word during your 208 00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:21.419 writing section you're like I really 209 00:08:21.419 --> 00:08:23.819 want to use this word but I forgot its 210 00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:26.340 spelling and I actually need to use my 211 00:08:26.340 --> 00:08:28.259 dictionary now this is what you pay 212 00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:30.060 attention to because you can't use a 213 00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:32.099 dictionary during your TOEFL test you 214 00:08:32.099 --> 00:08:34.020 rely on your memory and so you do this 215 00:08:34.020 --> 00:08:36.360 every day Monday two reading sections 216 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:39.000 Tuesday two listening sections uh 217 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.779 Wednesday two speaking sections Thursday 218 00:08:41.779 --> 00:08:45.660 Two writing sections Friday two reading 219 00:08:45.660 --> 00:08:47.279 sections and I will still work on the 220 00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:49.740 weekend so that you have more practice 221 00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:52.260 When I Was preparing for my TOEFL those 222 00:08:52.260 --> 00:08:54.839 10 days oh my God they were so intense I 223 00:08:54.839 --> 00:08:57.240 think I spent maybe four to five hours 224 00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:00.540 each day just working on my TOEFL test 225 00:09:00.540 --> 00:09:02.220 during this week you would also need to 226 00:09:02.220 --> 00:09:04.620 start working on your vocabulary 227 00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:07.080 My Philosophy here is that you won't be 228 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.000 able to learn English in a month right 229 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.820 you just can't so TOEFL will reflect 230 00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:13.920 your current knowledge of English but 231 00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:15.839 what I also want you to do is to brush 232 00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:19.440 up some idioms and vocabulary that you 233 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.059 could potentially use in your writing 234 00:09:21.059 --> 00:09:22.740 section just because when they check 235 00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:25.260 that section they specifically look for 236 00:09:25.260 --> 00:09:28.320 more advanced vocabulary I was never 237 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.260 able to score 30 out of 30 on my writing 238 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:34.860 section just because I I'm more in the 239 00:09:34.860 --> 00:09:37.820 careful side I only try to use words 240 00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:42.540 that I'm 150 percent sure of like I know 241 00:09:42.540 --> 00:09:45.120 their meaning I know how to spell them 242 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.640 and if something sounds a bit unfamiliar 243 00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:49.860 to me I wouldn't just use it you can 244 00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:52.740 just Google like top 100 words for TOEFL 245 00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.140 writing or TOEFL speaking select 10 246 00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:57.120 words every day those could be words and 247 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.458 phrases that you know already it's just 248 00:09:59.458 --> 00:10:02.580 for you to brush them up and make sure 249 00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:04.679 that you use some of them in your 250 00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:06.480 writing section we actually asked a 251 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.519 couple of native speakers to take the 252 00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.480 TOEFL test and uh I don't know anyone 253 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:15.420 who scored 30 out of 30 on writing so 254 00:10:15.420 --> 00:10:16.800 our teacher who is a native speaker 255 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:20.940 scored 29 out of 30. this is how tricky 256 00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:24.240 it is like for me reading listening 257 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.120 and speaking they're like maths writing 258 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:28.980 is a little bit more creative so it's 259 00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:30.839 just really hard for a student to get 30 260 00:10:30.839 --> 00:10:33.540 out of 30. it's still possible people do 261 00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:35.519 that then the next task is for you to 262 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.980 create your templates and to learn them 263 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.260 to memorize them so that you can use 264 00:10:40.260 --> 00:10:42.779 them during your test and there are 265 00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:45.480 templates for each question in the 266 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.040 speaking section and there are templates 267 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:50.160 for the essays in the writing section 268 00:10:50.160 --> 00:10:52.679 and task number 10 in our overall list 269 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.620 of tasks is to again review your wrong 270 00:10:55.620 --> 00:10:58.980 answers figure out why you got it wrong 271 00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:01.559 and what you could do to avoid answering 272 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:04.500 those types of questions incorrectly in 273 00:11:04.500 --> 00:11:08.640 the future week three TOEFL is coming so 274 00:11:08.640 --> 00:11:10.260 this week it's all about practice 275 00:11:10.260 --> 00:11:13.920 practice and practice one day one 276 00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:16.078 section and this is where you also start 277 00:11:16.078 --> 00:11:19.140 timing yourself you only have 18 minutes 278 00:11:19.140 --> 00:11:21.958 to complete every passage in the reading 279 00:11:21.958 --> 00:11:24.839 section so 18 minutes no more are no 280 00:11:24.839 --> 00:11:27.720 less and I say no less because if you do 281 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.240 everything in 15 minutes then go back 282 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.640 and check your answers that strategy 283 00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:34.860 saved me on my TOEFL test because when I 284 00:11:34.860 --> 00:11:38.160 went back I realized I actually answered 285 00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:40.500 one question incorrectly and I changed 286 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:42.540 my answer and this is what got me to 30 287 00:11:42.540 --> 00:11:44.640 out of 30 on the reading section so 288 00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:46.980 timing yourself is what you're focusing 289 00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:50.519 on during your third week of TOEFL prep 290 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.800 and again you focus on your weaknesses 291 00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:55.559 and more vocabulary 10 words and phrases 292 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.440 each day try to make sentences with them 293 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.380 try to select your favorite words and 294 00:12:01.380 --> 00:12:03.540 phrases and make sure that you actually 295 00:12:03.540 --> 00:12:05.519 use them in your writing and in your 296 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.679 speaking sections and week number four I 297 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.440 actually recommend you go to the place 298 00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.839 where you're going to take your TOEFL 299 00:12:12.839 --> 00:12:14.839 just to figure out the whole 300 00:12:14.839 --> 00:12:17.700 Transportation situation how busy it 301 00:12:17.700 --> 00:12:19.500 gets with the traffic how long it takes 302 00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:21.540 you to get there 303 00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:23.820 um what's the parking situation all of 304 00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:26.820 that now this week you stop learning the 305 00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:29.220 new vocabulary you just review what 306 00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:31.380 you've learned because you don't want to 307 00:12:31.380 --> 00:12:33.720 learn any new words that you don't have 308 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.519 time to practice because they can 309 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.620 actually distract you during your TOEFL 310 00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:41.040 test take a couple of full practice 311 00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:42.360 tests 312 00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.480 in two settings so one sitting per test 313 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.059 just to mimic the whole experience but 314 00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:50.700 don't do that a day before your actual 315 00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:53.639 test the day before your actual test you 316 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:54.920 rest 317 00:12:54.920 --> 00:12:58.380 you watch a movie in English kind of 318 00:12:58.380 --> 00:12:59.820 surround yourself with the atmosphere 319 00:12:59.820 --> 00:13:01.980 because I also remember I was taking my 320 00:13:01.980 --> 00:13:03.958 I took my TOEFL in Russia so I was 321 00:13:03.958 --> 00:13:06.179 surrounded by the Russian language every 322 00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:07.800 single day and I wanted to get into 323 00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:10.800 those English language uh Vibes just 324 00:13:10.800 --> 00:13:13.500 before the test so watch the movies I 325 00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.899 started uh speaking English to myself 326 00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:18.660 just to switch on this English speaking 327 00:13:18.660 --> 00:13:20.458 mode in my head now I just want to 328 00:13:20.458 --> 00:13:22.860 repeat this you need to rest the day 329 00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:25.139 before the test because if you're 330 00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:28.380 nervous if you didn't sleep well if you 331 00:13:28.380 --> 00:13:30.899 didn't eat well this is going to affect 332 00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:32.940 you because this is a really high stress 333 00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:35.519 environment and you need to be as calm 334 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:37.320 as possible because this is the only way 335 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.480 you can focus and again you won't be 336 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.540 able to learn English in four weeks you 337 00:13:42.540 --> 00:13:44.639 won't be able to learn English in a week 338 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.458 but during four weeks you're able to get 339 00:13:47.458 --> 00:13:49.500 acquainted with a test get into the 340 00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:52.920 right mindset relax and also remember 341 00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:55.320 that this is not the end end of your 342 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.240 life if you don't score what you need a 343 00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.000 score you can take the test as many 344 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.540 times as you want yes it is not free but 345 00:14:03.540 --> 00:14:05.880 life is not over if you didn't score 346 00:14:05.880 --> 00:14:08.220 whatever you needed but I am pretty sure 347 00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:10.440 you're gonna do well on the first 348 00:14:10.440 -->
