Wondering about the answer to #4? Read this! (TOEFL tutor and native US English speaker here.) In question #4, the man is asked about Chuck, whom he has just visited in the hospital. "He's looked better," the man says. This is a tricky one. I've shared this video with some of my own students, and they had trouble with this question too. Still, the usage in #4 is important to understand. "*He's* looked better" means "he has looked better (in the past) than he did when I saw him just now." "*He* looked better" would mean "he looked better just now than he did before." The first sentence, the one in the video, means Chuck is _not doing so well_. The second sentence, which doesn't appear in the video, would mean Chuck _seems to be getting better_. This verb form ("he's looked," "he has looked") is called the _present perfect_, and we use it to imply that something was true _once_ but is not true anymore. In the late 1990s, there was a rock song whose chorus began "I've seen better days..." The person singing that song is saying that things used to be better than they are now. (I.e., things have gotten worse since then.) Likewise, imagine you are meeting a friend in a new coffee shop. Neither of you have been there before. You order tea, and your friend orders coffee. You wonder whether the coffee at this new place is any good. You ask her: "How's the coffee?" She replies: "I've had better." What she means is: "The coffee I've had in the past (at other places) is better than the coffee I am having now (at this place)." The same grammar, with the same underlying meaning, is used in #4. Chuck has looked better (sometime in the past) than he did just now, when the man visited him.

45/50..... BUT.... It wasnt THAT EASY... you really need to be FOCUSED ... I'm a language Professor and I can understand that one of the problems we ALL have... it's the lack of attention...

OMG!!! 27/50 and i thought i would go better , more practice, thanks so much

11:46 part B 17:03 part C 24:41 answer

48/50 - The tricky part for me is concentrating on the best possible answer. Takes a lot of brainpower even for native speakers to do this without pausing and rewinding.

First of all, thank you for uploading this video on KZfaq and also for contributing to the improvement of our knowledge. My score is 40(41) out of 50. It's higher than I expected and it's only the beginning of my way to my dreams.

the native speaker spoke more clearly than the toefl test that i took before

41/50. I'm feeling positive after taking this test

Muchas gracias!! Hoy presenté el toefl itp y conseguí el puntaje que quería para irme al extranjero!

45/50 for the first time! Thank you so much this is so helpful.I’ve had no clue what the test would be like before i stumble across this gem!

This is so useful! I have this test on march and I really need to practice hahaha I got 41/50, I'm quite impressed tbh. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

26/50 oh my god, i have to test this next week 😭

This is really helpful! I can practice the TOEFL listening with instant access! Thank you so much!

First attempt 26/ 50. But never mind, this test is really useful. Thank you for upload :)

thank you so much for this upload. I am a (Canadian) native speaker living abroad in Turkey. I teach skills for highschool level and I provide prep classes for TOEFL. I found this extremely usefull and effective for my students.

48/50 ~~ I'm much more worried about the reading session...

32/50. Thank you for the test. 18 days left for me to build some skill.

My first ever test and I got 32 marks. Feeling good to have such a good start.... 👍🏻😊😊

I think a recent change has been you are now allowed to take notes when doing the TOEFL ITP Listening test. But you can only take notes in the test booklet. It's not like iBT where you take notes on a separate piece of paper. But always check with the administrators of your particular test first.

I really happy with channel. Because this channel help me to understand about TOEFL. But I think difficult in number 47 through 50 because this stories it's to long. Thank you for this channel. This channel help me to improve my listening skill.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. It means a lot to me who wants to improve my listening comprehension and TOEFL score as well. I need to obtain the score above 550. It's possible to those of you who believe in it. FYI: If anyone of you who wants to determine the correct answer of the options from the previous conversation, make sure that you choose the different option among others and the answer is actually not really the same that you heard from the conversation.

I have a problem with memorizing details.. which means that I can fully understand a conversation, but I forget what I hear before time of questions, specially with long conversations

37/50. Feeling good!! Practise more

35/50. Thought it would be higher but still good. The problem is that there is a lot of information on the conversation and when it ends I just forget what I just listened! Got 5 mistakes on part A and then 10 mistakes on part B and C

I think this is a good video to increase our listening ability. It provides another kind of exercises for us to learn listening. The native speakers aren't fast in speaking, so we can understand what they are talking about. However, i still find some difficulties when listening to this video. For the example in no 26, it's hard for me to understand about the response of the man. that's not clear enough. :)

23/50. why am i so stupid? wanna cry😭

Number 1 is A. Correct by noon. Jam 12 . This afternoon

Thank you very much .. i can learn English with serious and hard, i hope during 4 month i can fluency English .. give me pray and support, thanks

Great video, very helpful. Tomorrow I'll take the ITP test, with this I hope I can do better. Thanks a lot please, keep on going posting more materials like this, exercises and examples. Thank you very much.

Please could you add the scripts of the questions and dialogues?

41/50 I could have scored 45 but I got distracted in one part. So concentration is very important here.

It's more than listening. It's your interpretation as well. Moreover, the multiple choices trick you in a limit of time. Even if you are an English Native Speaker!! It doesn't mean that you will get full score!

22/50._I_must_more_trainings!

muito bom o vídeo, farei o toelf em março e gostaria de mais testes assim para eu treinar.

43/50... thanks a lot for providing this. Stay blessed!

Got 28/50.. It was useful cuz this practice gave me experience.. Now i know where is my level... Need more training for my real test on 24th..

Thank you so much. I've got 37/50 and so excited for more tests :)

English is my third language and I scored 47/50 on this first attempt, I'm sitting for a toefl test this week, I hope it goes well! Thank you so much for posting the video!

Thankyou, it so helping me for my toeft ITP test tommorow noon. 28/50

Come here by chance, never pratice before and result was 36/50. Well not that bad, it also encouraged me to think about taking exam in near future, self-learning, maybe ;)

I got 30/50 on the first try. Thank you for uploading such useful video :)

26/50 wow im amazed because this is the first time i can answer the correct this much😭

31/50, not so bad but I will try harder next time to get 40/50. The hardest part is not listening or understanding the conv., but choosing the right answer among many the tricky one.

This video motivated me to study English. I have to study English to get higher score in TOEFL test. Using KZfaq may become effective tool of study.

Thank you for uploading this kinda TOEFL exercise. This is very useful. 44/50.

got 42 corrects out of 50, not too bad, this could help to prepare for my finals

37/50 for the first attempt. I think this is a good start for me. As a student, I still need more focus.... Thank you for this lesson.

thank you so muchh

25/50 😞 but its okay, thank you for the test

34/50. The part C was really hard.

it's totally help me through passed out the toelf test.

37/50, the first time doing this kind of test.

do you have any more full listening test like this? it is great and I love it!! thank you for uploading this :)

very helpfull thank you so much for this , i used it for my students who are preparing for their toefl test

I got 51/50 for section listening toefl ITP. N I will study ,practice n practice

43 /50 is quite good thx for an opportunity to practise

I believe number 4 answer is letter A

I got 23/50 omg this is very useful but im so nervous!

heyhooo... this is not an ITP TOEFL. this is a part or complete test practice from Longman Preparation for TOEFL Test..lol. you might want to be more honest by putting additional info of where you take this sample from.

42/50 my first try.. Thank you for such wonderful help♥

Could you please, add the answers ?

42/50 . Really, it wasn't that difficult but some of the questions are pretty tricky... I didn't expect that, so I took the test very casually, without focusing that much. I should say that listening to podcasts and interviews can really help, in those cases because you get used to listening and understanding. Fortunately, those sentences are quite easy to grasp. What is really complicated is not being able to take notes xD Anyways, this was fun !

32/50.. Listening is never easy! :D. And the C part is a 'lil bit harder, esp for remembering the contents of story. It's confusing when we didn't get the story! ;=)

43/50 for first attempt! I'll need more improvements!

25/50 i need more practice

Damn! i just got 20/50 there are so much pronuncation that i dont know how to say it.

32/50 after long time not took toefl itp, and the exam in the next week :')

22/50...... I know my power of listening.

@BeautyOnTest : Would you mind explaining number 23? why is it A? if I am not mistaken the man said "scarcely enough time to get there" which as far as I understand that the man still has time to catch. thanks

I got 42 right answers out of 50. I have one thing in my mind, I think the answer to number 4 should be A, doesn't it?

Thank you for this video. It helps me to prepare for my TOEFL test

34/50 I think it's good as a start 🤷 I will try finish all the tests here and compare my results ! 😍

Thank you so much for the test

thank you so much for this listening test. :) It helps me a lot.

34/50 for my first TOEFL test. I hope it'll better next time!

33/50. Still bad at part C, wasn't really focused at that part :(

23/50. I need to learning and listening more 😭

31 - 50 for first time, focus is my problem

I got 31/50 and i don’t feel disappointed because this is first try. I think I did well but I have to say that in part B and C I was distracted and the part C I was lost. this is really interesting

Hi there! I passed with 45 points out of 50! Thank you so much for this amazing help

41/50, pretty good start 😍

42/50 !!!!

47/50. Not bad for first time. But not so sure about the other parts cuz i just like the listening part. Getting ready for National Exam

For everyone having focussing problems, I recommend to close your eyes while hearing, it helped me a lot.

Nice. Thank you 🙏 I will practice 💕📖

47/50, I'm very happy with it :)

Nr. 4 should be A! 39/50 aka 570 on listening!!

Part A: 28 correct; 2 incorrect: 4 and 25 Part B: 8 correct; 0 incorrect Part C: 9 correct; 3 incorrect: 39, 43, and 48. I think I did pretty good for my first try.

37/50, test tomorrow :/

41 / 50 the last part was my weakness area probably is the vocabulary...

37/50. This exercise is very useful, Thank you for your content

39/50,, hmmm gotta improve my listening be4 my real exam next tuesday!

and I can't believe it because I understand all the t.v. shows in english and all the interviews of my favorite singers i don't know why i can't have a good score in this :( i am so frustated as you can see I write well in english i mean you understand what I wrote right? so why I can't pass the TOEFL :( I AM SO ANGRY WITH MYSELF :(

Done almost great! Thank you for doing this, gracias!

27/50 it's my first time, I need to improve my listening skills

First attempt 25/50. Sorry but i'll improve it. Thanks

19/50, it's so sad.. How to improve my listening skill?

33 out of 50. Part C really killed me due to my terrible working memory.

43/50 let’s see what happens. I have a test on 9th of October 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I only got 37/50😪 but it's okay since it's my first listening ever without no cheat😭 i'm so proud of my self:')
