Hi everyone here,
My name is Yonas, and I am here because I am preparing myself for Toefl ibt exam.
Cheers
First of all, thanks for providing useful information and details. I appreciate it a lot!
About changing my habits and surroundings, I know how important is communication with native speakers and involving English in my everyday surroundings, but, unfortunately, my friends are not interested in learning English, though I tried to be involved in English 24/7 by performing exercises from all sections of TOEFL. However, I still feel the lack of real communication with English native speakers.
Currently, I am studying management and my major is Business Management in an integrated Europe. I am very interested in this subject, and my marks are quiet good, however, I would really enjoy the subject more by studying it in English in some English native countries. Therefore actually I began to prepare for TOEFL and successfully passing TOEFL will open the doors to implement my plans.
The thing is, that I feel truly difficulty with exercising the academic passages(particularly in focusing on main points and details). Therefore, I have to exercise this part of the test as much as possible. However, the source that I have found is too limited. Consequently, I would like to found some useful links with analogous tasks and exercises. Thanks very much to your website, that provide completely the same listening exercises like TOEFL has, but I have some difficulties with finding the appropriate reading texts and passages.
Thank you very much for your welcome.

My name is Danilo, I’m from Brazil.
I’m currently taking a master degree in computer science, but I’m no good with english. It could probably ruin my carrer if I don’t take an attitude. My reading skills are ok, I’m able to read lots of english text without doing “mental translation”. But I’m not able to do the reverse, I’m not able to “thinking in english”. My listening abilities also sucks a little bit, but the worst part is speak something in English.
Sometimes I feel ashamed because I’m too “old” (23 years old) and can’t handle the English language very well. A lot of younger friends of mine don’t have the same problems that I have.
Hi everybody,
I’m new student. I’m come from Montreal and I’m a French Canadian who would like to speak English fluently.
Hello.I am a new member.i have a question.Is there any difference between two sentences “I am taken” & " I have taken".Please help.
am - present tense. It is not usually used with ‘taken’.
have - past tense.
But as per my knowledge “have” is present perfect tense
Yes - I meant the action was started in the past - sorry for not being clear.
Please explain the use of following sentence.
1> I am tired.
2> I have tired.
3> I have been tired.
I think that I have tired doesn’t exist, but «I am tired» is now while «I have been tired», the action began in the past and continue in the present.
‘I have tired’ is possible if you add something like ‘I have tired of that game. I don’t want to play it again.’
What’s wrong, if I replace “have” with “am” i.e ‘I am tired of that game. I don’t want to play it again.’
