Listening

In my opinion the listening is much more painful than the previous one. THERE are 3 sections of the listening. Each section gives you 10 minute to answer 2 LECTURE and 1 CONVERSATION. So in total 6 BIG LECTURES and 3 CONVERSATIONS

Conversaion
-Again, it somehow still look the same. There are 2 friends discussing , or even beween admission staff and student. Most conversation took place at academic setting. This part basically easy as you easily can grasph the conversation. Model question still similar to the previous one

LECTURE
Hahahaha.. one interesting thing I notice in the lecture is, the professor not as rigid as the previous one. The old TOEFL seems like the prof is a talking robot which talk english like ..er...er....er. but this time, IT GETS MORE REAL!. the professor could say "hahaha..." "uhm..." "ooh..o" .. whatever anything you can think of. Lectures are long and painful to hear. Today I heard Biology , Astronomy, History, Arts , etc

--NEW MODEL OF QUESTION
**You may need be asked why the professor say something like the professor might suddenly stop the conversation *Uh, I might give guess why it happen!" the possible answer is (professor dun wan to answer the student, professor think the answer is obvious... professor think that the answer will be difficult .. etc)... You need to understand this realm kind of situation

**YOU MAY TAKE NOTES during the listening part. I don't found this as helpful, rather I think its a real distraction for me. Once I started to write something I realized that they are asking you something you dun need to write. its not a knowledge question like test or whatever..

**You may be asked to fill up a table. Questions like this are carrying greater weight. You should distinguish and cross-check certain characteristics (they give u table anyway -- and you cross which one belongs to who) .. or simply they give u some characteristics and you cross yes or no for each one of them

**Summary. Yes...yes! again summary is there. You should summarize why certain argument is untrue.. or its true (summarize the given fact)

thats all... bout listening
