Introduction
Introduction
If you are going to take the TOEFL®, you will find the vocabulary exercises in this workbook
very helpful. They will help you to review, practice and acquire a lot of the words and
expressions that you might need to use in the Writing and Speaking sections, or that you
might come across or be tested on in the Listening and Reading sections. A greater
command of vocabulary is one of the key factors that will help you raise your TOEFL®
score.
Structure of the workbook
The workbook is divided into 2 sections. The first section deals with general vocabulary,
including synonyms, idioms and phrasal verbs. The second, smaller section is topic-specific,
and focuses on some of the topics that regularly appear in the TOEFL®. Each topic is
accompanied by a typical TOEFL® Writing question, which will give you the chance to use
the key vocabulary in an essay.
There is a comprehensive answer key at the back of the book.
How to use the book
You should not go through the exercises mechanically. It is better to choose areas that you
are unfamiliar with, or areas that you feel are of specific interest or importance to yourself.
Remember that you should keep a record of new words and expressions that you learn,
and review these from time to time so that they become an active part of your vocabulary.
There is a vocabulary record sheet at the back of the book which you can photocopy as
many times as you like. Use this to build up your own personal vocabulary bank.
It is essential to have a good dictionary with you when you are doing the exercises. For
basic vocabulary, we recommend the American English Study Dictionary (ISBN 978 1
9016 5969 6). For a more advanced and in-depth coverage of vocabulary, the Macmillan
English Dictionary (ISBN 978 1 4050 2628 4), from which many of the sample sentences
in this book are taken, is ideal.
Extending your vocabulary
Also remember that there are other methods of acquiring new vocabulary. For example,
you should read as much as possible from a different variety of authentic reading materials
(books, newspapers, magazines, etc).
Practicing for the TOEFL
There is a lot of TOEFL material available, but we particularly recommend Barron`s TOEFL
iBT (ISBN 978 0 7641 3374 9), which provides comprehensive practice for all sections of
the exam, as well as offering essential language skills development and useful studying
strategies. It also gives lots of vital information on the test itself and how it works. The
book has been written for the Internet-based TOEFL, but is also useful if you are going to
take the older, standard computer-based TOEFL.

Information about the TOEFL®
The purpose of the TOEFL® is to evaluate a non-native English speaker`s proficiency in the
English language. Almost one million students every year from 180 countries register to
take the TOEFL®: the majority of universities and colleges in North America as well as in
other English-speaking countries require official TOEFL® score reports for admission. The
test is also used by institutions in other countries where English is the language of
instruction. In addition, government agencies, scholarship programs and licensing /
certification agencies use TOEFL® scores to evaluate English proficiency. An acceptable
