Many students have to take TOEFL test and many stuents think parts of it hard. What is the hardest part of TOEFL test for you? Use respons in your response.

Many people have to take the TOEFL test to prove their English at an academic base. I am
one of them for one and half month. The most hardest part since I started it was the writing
part. It is the most difficult part because of the time and fear of doing something false.

The writing passage on the TOEFL test takes fifty minutes and it includes two parts. The
hard issue is that we must finish two writing tasks in fifty minutes. When it started, we may
be calm and resonable but when we get close to the last minutes, we start to worry about
the time and these circumstances force our hand and mind to make mistake.Therefore, I
choose the writing part as most hardest part of the TOEFL test.

The writing passage also has listening and reading parts in one task. In this part, you have
to listen and read about the same topic which includes different visions. Firstly, the task
wants you to read a passage about a topic and take notes and then you will listen to a
record about the same topic but the listening part gives some specific facts and needs
taking notes again. I can handle the reading part easly but the listening part is a bit hard
for me because if I start to listen while my mind is confused and not calm, it makes some
trouble for me.

The third thing that we have to use is writing at least three hundered characters in a limited
time in the second task of TOEFL. In that part, task gives a general topic and wants us to
write three hundred characters about that. The hard thing is that we have a limited time
and time makes us worry, and if we get worried, anxiety starts which leads to making
mistakes. The other thing is the possibility of being off topic. Sometimes, we do not do
enough brain storm which leads us not to understand the question. For example, I had a
lot of mistakes in essays at my pre education at Gazi University, as a result of which the
tutors broke my points.

In conclusion, the writing part is the hardest part of the TOEFL test for me because I have
to do time managment and self control at the same time. Therefore, the writing part wants
more practice than other parts of the TOEFL test and that makes this part the hardest part
of the test.
