  14. sushil dhakal says:

    I found it with a terrible mistake.Can’t we make it not to pause frequently during listening? Due to pause I could not practice with it.

  15. Javii says:

    I really liked all of these videos, thank you, I’m getting ready to my TOEFL exam

  16. great says:

    hey Sushil, it’s pausing because ur internet connected is slow. u may load the full video first before starting ur session. That way u can listen to it without pausing. good luck

  17. lau says:

    I liked it!! And I found it really useful to practice a specific listening subskill, which is to get the main idea, but what about focusing on specific details? Probably, it would better to provide only one or two examples of listening to practice it, but with the number of questions that are regularly included in a real TOEFL iBT test.

    thank you so much! And please, wish me good luck, i am taking the test next weekend!!! :S
