One Test, One Chance

One Test, One Chance

There is a sentence that tells “it is better to be prepared and not have the opportunity than to have the opportunity and not be prepared”. TOEFL test is so important for me to come and stay in United States. In Brazil before I came was necessary to do the TOEFL test, I had a minimum score to participate in the Brazilian language program, called Science Without Borders. Then I get, it was amazing to see that I get the score, so I could go to United States. However, I needed to do another test to get the score to enter University and study two semesters. Yesterday, 10/22/2014, the result of my test was ready. Before to see the TOEFL grade, all of my Brazilian friends and I, were exciting about the score, almost of them and I get it.

I studied so much in Brazil and here in United States. I always read different texts with several kind of subjects to learn new words every day. I did a lot of practice tests, because I knew that the TOEFL test is hard, we have little time to answer all the questions. My advice to other people is study the TOEFL test, because it is different, you should know how it is works, study the vocabulary, sometimes you can’t know what mean even in the context. Practice reading and listening, you should prepare your mind and ear to notice the lectures.

I my life I had some important tests, and I believe these tests were important for other people too. In Brazil a lot of people want to enter in a Public University because there are some benefits, like quality and don’t need pay to study there, so is too hard to enter this university. Then my first important test was the High School National Exam, with this exam I could enter in any university of Brazil in anywhere. I wanted to enter in a Public University in my city and my family and friends believed me, so I had a pressure to get this, but I get and was amazing to tell to my family and friends, and because of my university I did the TOEFL and I am here now.
