Tips to do TOEFL
1. ASSUMPTIONS
You may have to make assumptions when you listen to the TOEIC test. These assumptions will be based on what you can infer in the picture. You will lave to determine which of the four statements you hear is true or might be true. One statement (answer choice) will be true or will most likely be true. That choice will be the correct answer.
Example;
This is laboratory The people are wearing protective clothing.
There are bottles on the shelves There are at least four people in the lab.
2. PEOPLE
You may have to identify the people in a picture. You may identify them by number, gender, location, description, activity, or occupation.
Strategy:
Remember, statements must be completely true. Be careful about statements that are partly true, but not totally true. Analyze the picture carefully. Pay attention to the number, gender, or occupation of the people in the picture.
3. THINGS
You may have to identify things in pictures. When you look at a picture, try to name everything you see. On the TOEIC, you will NOT have to know words, expressions, or idioms that are specific to one particular occupation. For example, in a picture of a man working in a plastics factory, you should know the general word machine. You do not have to know the occupation-specific term extruder.
4. ACTIONS
You may have to identify the actions in a picture. When you look at a picture, analyze the time sequence of the actions. This will help you understand what is happening now.
5. GENERAL LOCATIONS
You may have to identify the general location of a picture. When you look at a picture, analyze the clue to determine a location. If you see a car, a mechanic, some tools, and a customer in a picture, you can assume the location is an automobile repair shop. If you see men and women working at desks with computers, you can assume the location is an office.
6. SPECIFIC LOCATIONS
You may have to identify the specific locations of people and things in a picture. When you look at a picture, analyze the relationship of the people

Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless and inflammable liquid that can be produced by combining carbon disulfide and chlorine. This compound is widely used in industry today because of its effectiveness as a solvent as well as its use in the production of propellants.Despite its widespread use in industry, carbon tetrachloride has been banned for home use. In the past, carbon tetrachloride was a common ingredient in cleaning compounds that were used throughout the home, but it was found to be dangerous: when heated, it changes into a poisonous gas that can cause severe illness and even death if it is inhaled. Because of this dangerous characteristic, the United States revoked permission for the home use of carbon tetrachloride in 1970. The United States has taken similar action with various other chemical compounds.
