Jiangzi, an international student from China, wants to get an MBA at a prestigious university in the United States. Therefore, she needs to score higher than 100/120 pts. on the TOEFL iBT. So that she can improve her TOEFL score, Jiangzi is looking for TOEFL lessons that she can study online.
She found an online tutor that charges $35 per hour and uses a TOEFL iBT book to teach her. Also, she discovered a web site in which she can enroll in online TOEFL classes, bit it costs 1,500 per month, and she is required to be online for specific periods of time. However, due to the expense and the specific meeting times, she has decided not to take those classes either.
Finally, she found a web site that offers more than 330 TOEFL lessons and practice tests in vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and she can study the lessons anytime and anywhere as long as she has internet access. In addition, she does not have to meet the instructor face to face when submitting her speaking and writing practice tests. Instead, she submits them online, and a TOEFL specialist scores, evaluates, and makes written, audio, or video comments about her practice tests in about 24 hours. Enjoying the flexibility of this TOEFL service, she will receive an e-mail when her practice tests have been scored. And because this online TOEFL service is quite inexpensive, she absolutely loves the service.
It will not be long before she passes the TOEFL iBT and enters a respectable graduate school in which she can study business.
