Practice listening to English to bring ideas together
Some lectures take a stance and talk about the position that they feel most strongly for. Other lectures like to talk about many ideas and different topics. It is a good idea to listen for keywords from your lectures that will help you decipher if they are organizing their lesson in one structure or the other. Write down words that show a cause/effect relationship, compare/contrast or the steps to a process.
TOEFL Speaking Guide:
Recording while practicing
It is a good idea to record yourself speaking when preparing for the TOEFL test. Make notes of how and when you stress words or phrases. This is an extremely useful and effective method to improve your speaking skills because you can play back the tape to see what does not make sense and what needs to improve. Have others besides yourself review the tape and ask for feedback. Try to speak clearly and pronounce words in their proper context.
