hey guys welcome back to my channel with
Sakana so a lot of you guys have
requesting that I make a video on
recommending topical books and today
I've made a list of my favorite books
for using to prepare for the TOEFL test
so if you meet some opinions about which
books to buy this video is definitely
for you so before I begin I wanted to
let you guys know I don't have all the
books with me today mechanisation Taiwan
bandana that Sheila sohe know the sooner
though Jing Gong sound tension aware
exactly I can't into a shoulder
stop here
so I'm going to insert all the pictures
up here and I'm also going to include
the links down in the description box
robots on each other a turban so Colonel
Suhani Doha UK it out decision and the D
function is an Italian theater Poupon
and so you also get a picture of where
you can purchase these books now let's
begin the first book that I would like
to recommend to you guys is this book
it's called building vocabulary skills
by Sheree L NIST now this comes in a
four book series the first one is a
purple book called groundwork for
vocabulary I think and then this is the
second one and it goes up to the red and
also the most advanced one which is the
green book now I recommend this series
for several reasons in the first of all
it's very affordable it only costs
around 250 to $300 in Taiwanese dollars
which is around 10 USD dollars the
second reason why I recommend the series
is because the words are included in the
four books are highly reoccurring words
that often show up in not only the TOEFL
test but also SAT and a CT so if you
want to build up your vocabulary skills
I definitely recommend these series they
don't include any irrelevant worth so
it's not gonna waste you a lot of time
so definitely when you're picking out
books for preparing for a TOEFL test you
do not have to only buy books that state
that they're for a TOEFL and this is a
classic example of how you can buy this
book and it would still suit you know
preparing for the TOEFL test a lot so
definitely check this one out the second
that I would like to recommend to you
guys is for reading now this book is
called extensive reading for academic
success and this is the advanced D so I
believe that there are also four books
and I recommend this for a couple of
reasons
I know Tom shoujo also in our scenario
what if he also learned the hard way out
for somebody else the reading now of
course will also add cinnamon
yeah it just contains OTP or reading or
heart which I kind of have faced on the
all they are you anemic kinda didn't
sell out the answer similar nothing I
got just about station just don't take a
pan but I've mentioned in my test taking
sharing tips video if you want to watch
the English version it's also on my
channel tango tango Tony Leoni Mendoza
will topic and - I'm sure
Ruben is a OTP ODIs honey pay analyze ha
dejado de subjects nom chance a
gazillion Ahana 70 Holika - hey girlies
Ruben - amo Ludo honcho a candle tyonne
purusa world literature environmental
science psychology American history
computer science and information
technology so these are subjects and
topics that would always occur in the
TOEFL test now rules on each hong kong's
I chose a zone which I advanced reading
the passages to Hana I think it's a
great way for you to accumulate
necessary vocabulary in different topic
fields but also yo que sigue Holly Anita
reading the pseudo Gasol time because
there's so many reading passage in each
book it should last you quite a while if
you are a very diligent learner and you
read a lot of passages per day you could
probably think about buying two or three
and having them you know ready for you
at home I think they are very similar to
the TOEFL reading passages and would
help you in improving your reading
skills for preparing the TOEFL test now
the third thing that I would like to
recommend to you guys is ten Sakai and
it's called the Princeton Review
essential TOEFL vocabulary flashcards
and there's 500 in the box and you can
buy them almost anywhere Amazon or books
calm TWU and Taiwan the reason why I
like them is because first of all they
teach you how to pronounce a word
without using kicking Bay also if you
don't know how to use kicking Johanna
Thomas William England that's a jittery
ping to like initiate and for me that
has always made my life a lot easier and
the second thing that I like about these
flashcard is that they include example
sentences at the back and also synonyms
so easy again alias on Sheila so you
don't have to spend a lot of time making
flashcards on your own but this is more
for starters just a conch I see sugar
and oh this is Yongsan Theatre in Oaxaca
and Jojo Suho if you're in vats learner
then I would still recommend that you go
look for the vocabulary book the
advanced one which is the green one that
would suit you more alright so the
fourth item that I would like to
recommend to you guys is called the
TOEFL pocket vocabulary book by Kaplan
now I think this is a wonderful book for
people that tend to lose their
flashcards if they bring them outside
now this is about I believe like this
big and inside they have like different
units and they have example sentence
they have synonyms the only downside
that I see for this book is that
sometimes there are words that are
slightly too easy but just a little bit
this is a light book for you to carry
around if you want to study for the
vocabularies but you don't wish to use
flashcards alright so the fifth
recommendation is going to be more of an
analysis as you guys probably know there
are different applications for making
TOEFL books we have Farren's we have
Kaplan we have the Manhattan prep we
have Longman McGraw Hill y'all handle
the tube and sunny tell y'all so much in

those robots on me such eager to answer
top with a colleague Ohana white wedging
that I just go with official guide of
course there are limited practice tests
in the official guide there's a lot of
the sections that are actually telling
you about the test which you probably
don't really need you could probably
look that online and you have a lot of
the videos that tell you about the TOEFL
test alright so moving on to the next
recommendation
now the next recommendation that I would
like to make is a Chinese version TOEFL
book now I'm not sure if they have this
translated version into say Korean or
other languages I know I have friends
from Malaysia and also Korea so you guys
maybe you could look it up if they have
translated version but this book is
called my patrol Sholto forming
t-tom change only turn fool sing tofu co

now no shouts - Aloha
Oh Johnny cake holy to the cilia now
take a TOEFL speaking but kayo it's one
series so
they not only cover speaking I believe
they also have writing reading and
listening as well but for me I recommend
you guys to look for the speaking
section the writing section Joe Cola as
for the reading and the listening stick
with the official guide TP Ohio walk
among the ones that I recommend to you
guys the academic extensive reading
because these are I love them so
definitely look this one up now the last
book that I would like to recommend to
you guys does not have TOEFL printed on
the front cover but it is one of my
all-time favorites for preparing for any
academic English test and it's called
word power made easy by Norman Lewis now
if you've seen some of my older videos
you probably see me promoting this book
but if you are new here check this book
out it is so important for any English
Learner the reason why I like this book
so so much the author he uses his own
unique way of explaining the roots of
each word with stories so you'll also
need shits the guns are sold at home
should Ohana and you can order to come
cause I'll have a farm and know how
young pay that you'll pay which I wasn't
he paid a et and so kinda because you
enjoy one she sleepin so now it has a
young gooses sing - later just her
categorized we young the Bureau of goods
on the run the cursing a shout reach
reach down into the guns itself he uses
very interesting topics to teach you
word routes it's just really interesting
there are also a lot of practice sets
within the book so not only are you
actually like taking a class with him by
listening to interesting stories you
also immediately get the chance to
practice what you have learned within
the book it would help you a lot if you
could understand a lot of the word
routes the knowledge of being able to
cut down the words and to guess what it
means right
you would probably hear a lot of
teachers tell you like okay so me
ductile tofu does so if you encounter a
word that you don't know the meaning of
you could try to guess it and sometimes
it's very hard to just guess it with the
sentence with the context right and so
if you understand the word roots if you
have sufficient knowledge of word roots
then you get a second chance where when
you don't understand the context
of the passage you could probably break
down the word that you are encountering
and maybe you'd get a higher chance of
making the right guess so this book
check it out
work on it you will not be disappointed
okay so that is all I have for you guys
