Who is this book for?

Are you studying for the TOEFL test? Do you need to learn academic English

vocabulary to increase your TOEFL score? Do you also need to improve your

typing skills so you can type your TOEFL essays faster and more accurately on

test day? If you said “Yes!” to any of these questions, then this book is for you.

How is this TOEFL book different?

This TOEFL book is different because it uses an integrated vocabulary learning

system called recycling. Recycling is simple. Each exercise is divided into four

quizzes. Quiz #1, a multiple-choice vocabulary quiz, introduces ten new words.

Next, you will do Quiz #2. Quiz #2 is a sentence-completion quiz based on the

ten words in Quiz #1. Next, you will do Quiz #3, a spelling quiz. The speaker on

the CD will say the same ten words in turn. You will then have ten seconds to

spell each word by saying it and typing it. Finally, you will do Quiz #4. Quiz #4

is a 60-word typing test based on the ten new words you have been recycling

through Quizzes #1, #2 and #3, plus words, phrases and idioms recycled from

previous exercises.

Quiz #1

Quiz #4

RECYCLE

Quiz #2

Quiz #3

Why Recycling?

Recycling is an effective way to acquire a TOEFL-level vocabulary because you

are continually integrating and applying new words across four different contexts

(quizzes) using six TOEFL skill sets: reading, listening, speaking, writing,

spelling and typing. Recycling will help you remember each new word, phrase

and idiom more effectively so you can apply it more proficiently on test day. No

other TOEFL text offers such an integrated approach to acquiring a TOEFL-level

vocabulary.
