(1). Information required by ETS official study guide (usually called OG).
Author: Education Examination Service Center (ETS) Press: World Book Publishing Price: English version of 98 yuan, bilingual version of 68 yuan.
For English version (introduction version) book information, please click on bilingual version book information, please click on original version book information, please click on February 2006 pre-sale version information, please click on.
The official guide published by ETS itself should be the most authoritative preparation materials at present. Although there are not many topics, the guidance and authority should be the biggest highlight of this book. According to friends who have participated in IBT, this book is still very useful, and the style and difficulty of the examination questions are very close to it (reading and listening are a little simpler than the real questions, and oral English and composition are very close to the exam). It is suggested that the reading and listening of this book should be read several times, thoroughly understood and understood. The recordings and model essays of oral English and composition are very valuable reference materials. I suggest you listen more and read more, and understand and study carefully.
The original English version has been launched in Chinese mainland, and the cheaper bilingual version was launched in early August (the price in Joyo.com is 57.8 yuan). Comparatively speaking, the bilingual version has translated some guidance information from the original into Chinese, which is more suitable for friends with basic knowledge. In addition, there is a "new version" of OG on Amazon, which is actually a version to be released from June 5438 to February 2006, and can only be booked at present.
(2) Recommend Longman preparation course for TOEFL (R) test: Next Generation (IBT) with CD and answer key (commonly known as Longman new TOEFL course, also referred to as LPC).
Original text: Deborah_Phillips Translator: Zhang Hongwei, Dai Yun, Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 148 yuan.
Please click on the original book information.
The IBT tutoring materials published by Longman can be accepted by used friends. The difficulty is obviously simpler than the IBT test. Suitable for reviewing IBT entries. Recommended for friends who have a long review time (more than 4 months) and a general foundation (CET4 or so). But the subjective questions in this textbook, especially the oral part, are different from the real questions in the exam. It is suggested that the book should focus on objective questions when using it. Mainland China was introduced by New Oriental, and its Chinese name is "New TOEFL Comprehensive Course".
(3) The key to Delta's next-generation TOEFL test: IBT advanced skill practice (commonly known as Delta's new TOEFL tutorial).
Author: Nancy. Gallagher Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 98 yuan.
Please click on the original book information for book information.
The used CDers reflection book is good and rich in topics, which is suitable for sprinting 2-3 months before the exam or intensive training. At present, the book has been introduced by New Oriental, and its Chinese name is "New TOEFL preparation strategies and simulated test questions". (Because it is difficult to reflect the spoken language and composition of this book recently, the title of this book may not be as close to the exam as OG, but under the circumstance that there are few comprehensive books at present, especially the existing comprehensive textbooks in Chinese mainland, this book is still listed as a necessary textbook. )
Regarding the difficulty of this book, according to the feedback from many friends recently, it is arranged as follows: the difficulty of reading the article itself is close to that of the exam, but it is slightly simpler than the exam, but the options of reading topics are very easy to choose, and the options of reading topics in the exam are obviously disturbing. Listening materials are slightly more difficult and faster than exams. As for the options, although the options in the Delta book are relatively easy to choose, there is not much interference with the topic options in the listening part of the exam. Delta, which is slightly more difficult than the actual exam, may be the best material for sprinting before the exam, and the listening part may be the best part of Delta. In addition, because Delta focuses on training all kinds of skills needed for exams, most reading and listening exercises are much shorter than formal exams. Of course, the length of the model test questions is the same as that of the test. For oral English and composition, Delta has its shortcomings, mainly because the content of listening materials is obviously more difficult than the exam, the speed is obviously faster than the exam, and several key points are more difficult to find than the exam. Many friends who have finished the exam feedback that the last four questions of oral English and comprehensive writing are much easier than Delta. So, if you encounter difficulties in training oral English and writing with Delta, don't be discouraged.
(4) How to prepare for TOEFL iBT (commonly known as Barron's new TOEFL tutorial).
Author: Dr. Pamela Sharp
For the original book (audio CD version), please click the original book (CD version) for information, please click the original book (CD version) for information, please click.
Barron's IBT Guide is not widely used at present, but it reflects that this book is rich in listening content, and CDers are in various accents. The overall topic may be a little more difficult than the exam (there is too little feedback at present, and the information about the difficulty of this book is for reference only. Due to insufficient feedback, this book is not recommended for the time being). At present, this book has not been officially introduced into Chinese mainland. (According to the news from the Dayu website of New Oriental, New Oriental is introducing this book, which was originally scheduled to be listed on 1 1 and has not yet been published). But considering Barron's reputation in the field of exam training and the huge sales of this book in Amazon, I still recommend this book as the key.
There are currently three versions of this book in Amazon. Judging from the published information, all three books should be the same in this province, all of which are 12 versions. The difference is whether there is a supporting CD, and a supporting CD is a supporting audio CD or CD. According to the known information, the CD-ROM version is probably the most worth trying, which contains seven sets of simulation problems that can be done on the computer. Audio CD should be the listening material of the original book. At present, it is not certain whether the content of audio CD is CD. At present, it is speculated that there may be seven sets of model test questions in the original book. The audio version CD only contains relevant listening materials, while the CD version contains audio materials and other text materials including seven sets of model test questions, which becomes the model test software. This is just a personal guess, which has not been confirmed.
(5) TOEFL pass with audio CD (Barron's TOEFL pass)
Author: Dr. Pamela Sharp
Please click on the original book information.
This book is also a TOEFL iBT tutorial book produced by Barron. However, according to the information on Amazon, the content of this book is less than How to, which introduces some skills needed for preparing for IBT and provides three sets of simulation questions. This book may be more suitable for getting started. The main purpose of this book is to remind everyone that the one that is often mentioned on the forum and worth buying should be the one described above. Of course, friends who need more information for training can also consider preparing this book.
(6) Recommended TOEFL iBT with CD (commonly known as Kaplan's new TOEFL tutorial).
Author: Kaplan
Please click on the original book information and click on the new version information.
Kaplan's IBT guidance textbook, according to students who have participated in IBT, is more difficult than the IBT test (mainly reading and listening questions may be slightly difficult), and the reading questions in the model test software have minor flaws (the reading questions are not automatically positioned during the test), but it is still a good preparation textbook. Mainland China has not been formally introduced. In August, 2006, the new edition for 2007-2008 was released. At present, Beijing New Channel School has cooperated with Kaplan Group, and it is estimated that this book will soon be introduced to the mainland by New Channel.
(6) Recommendation of new TOEFL test guide and simulated test questions.
Author: Ted Times New TOEFL Research Center Press: Renmin University of China Press Price: 128 yuan.
For information about books, please click
Ted's comprehensive training materials belong to Ted's "sprint series before the exam" My book mainly introduces the new TOEFL test and provides corresponding topics and explanations. In addition, I also provided three sets of paper simulation questions and a CD-ROM, which also contains a set of simulation questions. At present, there is little feedback about this book, but some friends who have used it pointed out that many module questions in the book (including those in the CD-ROM) are taken directly from OG and remain intact. However, other topics in the book are also very close to OG topics in difficulty and style. So the title of this book should still be good, but considering that OG should have one, and the price of this book is high, this book is low in cost performance.
(7) New TOEFL test instruction manual
Author: Ted Times New TOEFL Research Center Press: Renmin University of China Press Price: 10 yuan.
For information about books, please click
Produced by Ted, it belongs to "Basic Training Series". In fact, this book is not an IBT textbook, but a thin booklet (68 pages), and the price is 10 yuan. This paper mainly introduces the form of IBT test according to ETS official information, and provides some simple test-taking strategies. Personally, I feel that the content of this book is not as detailed as the top navigation sticker on CD. Don't buy this brochure.
(8) Recommend the new TOEFL test as a complete guide.
Author: Zhang Hongwei (editor) Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 10 yuan.

Zhang Hongwei, editor-in-chief of New Oriental. Although the price of this book is 10 yuan, compared with Ted's Guide Manual, it is full of gold, as many as 166 pages, and it is informative (compared with Ted's "big font, more white space"). This book not only translated many ETS official materials about IBT into Chinese, but also interspersed with many instructional articles written by New Oriental teachers from various independent and comprehensive angles (the amount of information in this book is several times that of ted's "Guidance Manual"). Considering the price of 10 yuan and the value of corresponding materials, this book is very cost-effective.

New TOEFL tutorial materials produced by New Channel. The structure is similar to Ted's new TOEFL test and simulation guide. The first half is the introduction, examples and analysis of each part of the new TOEFL, and the second half provides four sets of paper simulation questions. At present, there is little feedback on the use of this book, and some friends who have used it point out that the title of this book is difficult.

This set of books is a textbook jointly produced by Pearson Education Group and ETS. It is divided into three "grades", and each grade has two books for students and teachers. The contents of the two books correspond to each other, and they are all composed of about 10 unit topics and some final module questions. There are 10 units related to the subjects that ETS often takes, and each unit has skills training corresponding to the new TOEFL. Although there are not many questions in the final model test, there are only a few questions in a model test paper (including less listening and reading, similar oral and comprehensive writing, and slightly more questions involving listening materials), but these questions are provided by ETS, especially in the corresponding teachers' books, and detailed oral recording samples and composition samples of each score are also provided. At present, there are few oral and composition materials, especially authoritative model essays and recordings. These model essays and recordings of this book (teacher's edition) should be good materials worthy of serious study and research. However, this set of books is also very expensive.

Mainland China has not been introduced.

"New TOEFL writing special training" Author: Li Zhiyan Pricing: 48 yuan book information please click.
The above book publishing houses are all world book publishing companies.
Li Zhiyan, a Korean, compiled a series of teaching materials, including the above four books, which should have been published by Longman, but now New Oriental has introduced them. CDs/tapes for listening and speaking training are not included with the book and need to be purchased separately. Special training in writing comes with a CD. This set of books seems to be the textbook of the new TOEFL (basic) class in New Oriental, which is relatively simple.
Today, I went to the bookstore to look through these three sets of textbooks and found that they have their own characteristics.
The topics in the Basic Series are the least among the three sets of textbooks, but the focus is on the introduction and analysis of the topics, especially on the guidance of doing the topics. Each volume makes a detailed classification and analysis of the topics of their respective exams, makes a detailed summary of the knowledge points (vocabulary, phrases and sentence patterns) involved in each topic, and lists many learning methods, which feels like teaching you to do the questions by hand. I think this set of teaching materials is especially suitable for friends who are unfamiliar with TOEFL (including the old TOEFL) and have not participated in the exam remedial class. However, many knowledge points and problem-solving methods in this set of books are actually derived from the old TOEFL, which is not necessarily worth buying for friends who are familiar with TOEFL or have participated in training.
The content of the "special series" is basically a topic (it should be a simulation topic). In addition to giving the answers, the book also introduces some ideas for solving problems. I feel more suitable for friends who need to adapt to IBT questions. Hand training should be effective.
"Special training series" feels like "special training series". In addition to briefly introducing the types of questions, the main content is several sets of questions (which should also be simulated questions), basically a set of questions (of course, there are answers). Although Longman is also written on the cover of this book, its author is not the author of Longman comprehensive course, that is to say, this book is only a textbook published by Longman, and there is no "supporting" relationship with comprehensive course. The difference between this set of books and Ted's "Special Training Series" is that the introduction of problem-solving ideas is more concise (or simpler)-often only one or two sentences, but the "Special Training Series" gives detailed Chinese translations of all questions and answers, while the "Special Training Series" only expresses the key points of the questions in Chinese. At present, according to friends who have used it, reading this set of books is relatively simple, but listening is obviously more difficult than reading another book. According to friends who have used it, the special listening training is close to the exam, especially in speed, which is slightly slower than Delta and close to the real question. So I recommend the book "Special Listening Training". There are some differences between oral English and composition and exam style, but in view of the fact that there are few related books at present, especially the oral English books of the new TOEFL and the recommendations of used friends, I recommend that you can use the book "Special Oral English Training".
For the introduction of special training, especially oral training, please refer to the post of sm042 1 (winner of 28 points in oral English) /dispbs.asp? board id = 19 & amp； ID=2028 10
The introduction of the above three sets of textbooks is based on my hasty browsing in the bookstore. I refer to some netizens' posts, which may be one-sided. I hope friends who are familiar with these textbooks will correct me. In addition, I remember that the back cover of the textbook of New Oriental mentioned that the new TOEFL also has a "winning series", but I didn't find it in the bookstore or even online. It may not have been published yet. I hope a friend who knows can introduce me.
(4) New TOEFL reading skills and test site refinement introduced by New Oriental (three volumes).
Original work: Bruce Rogers Translator: Zhang Hongwei, Hao (I); Zhang Hongwei and Wang (Volumes II and III)
Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: (each volume is) 38 yuan.
Please click on the first volume of information, click on the second volume of information, click on the third volume of information, click on the original book information, and click once.
This set of books is different from the previous TOEFL reading guidance books (even the special guidance books for overseas exams). Traditional guidance books for overseas exams are generally based on exam-oriented questions, analyzing training and introducing preparation methods and skills. The title of this book is different from that of the formal IBT reading test, which is a bit like new concept English, and even a bit like college English in China. This set of books focuses on reading articles, interspersed with practice vocabulary, and introduces many reading skills. Each book is distributed with an MP3, which is the recording of the article.
Specifically, each book in this set has 14 units (that is, the basis of 14 articles), and each unit can be roughly divided into:
1. Preview the topic of the article and warm up the vocabulary of the article (that is, pick out some sentences from the article in advance and examine the words and phrases).
2. Reading comprehension questions of the article (a bit like TOEFL reading questions, do them after reading the article)
3. Skills introduction and training (introducing a reading skill, supplemented by related topics for training)
4. Listening extension questions and topic discussion questions, as well as the final crossword puzzle (listening extension questions are actually MP3 recordings of articles, plus some questions, which are a bit like TOEFL listening, but the difficulty is relatively simple; Topic discussion is to discuss the topics related to the article; Crossword puzzles are all based on the words in reading.
It can be said that skill training, listening extension questions and topic discussion questions are the highlights of this book, which help to lay a good foundation for TOEFL reading and warm up for listening, composition and oral English (or auxiliary training in listening, speaking and writing). The subject matter of this book is also relatively extensive and novel. In the first volume, I found an article about Rowling, the author of Harry Potter. In the third volume, there is an article discussing whether China discovered America. I think, on the whole, this book is suitable for candidates who have a general foundation but have enough time to train 4-5 months before the exam, and it can not only train reading, but also warm up for listening, speaking and writing. You can also choose one or two of them according to your own foundation. The first one is the simplest and the third one is the most difficult. If the exam is only two months away, this book can be ignored.

"New TOEFL Writing+Full Score in Spoken English" Author: Wang Ling Publishing House: foreign languages press Pricing: 25 yuan Book Information, please click.
This set of books is a set of teaching materials compiled by Wang Ling (former president of Shenzhen New Oriental, now president of New Qingyun Training School). It involves four individual items and vocabulary parts of the new TOEFL preparation. Among them, the vocabulary book feels very much like Zhang Hongyan's TOEFL vocabulary selection. Reading and listening books mainly analyze each question in detail, and each question provides some corresponding questions to practice, and explains some skills of the exam, followed by some simulation questions. Writing and oral English are put in one book. The writing part is rich in content (about two thirds of the book), which introduces some writing skills and provides corresponding training topics. Among them, the model essays written independently account for about one-third of the whole book, but personally, these articles have a strong argumentative style of traditional old TOEFL writing, which seems to be different from the high-scoring model essays on OG. The spoken part of the book is relatively simple. According to the format of six oral questions, plus two parts about overview and pronunciation, it is divided into eight chapters. Basically, each question type is introduced and analyzed, and then some examples and sample answers are provided, and some topics are trained. As a "writing+speaking" book, the overall feeling is not very good. At present, few people use this set of books and have not received feedback.
(6) New TOEFL Upgrade Edition, the old TOEFL book of New Oriental.
I added the name of this "upgraded version" myself. In fact, these books were good individual counseling materials in the old TOEFL period. In the iBT era, these books have revised the contents of iBT exams and added some related contents. Almost all these books are now covered in blue and white.
Listening part:
The new thinking of TOEFL iBT listening recommends the old version as the new thinking of TOEFL listening.
Author: William Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 28 yuan
For information about books, please click
The feature of this book is that the 7M teaching method created by William runs through the book. Although some of PartA's skills in this book will fail in IBT, the large number of listening words and phrases provided in this book are still very practical and fresh. Moreover, the structure of this book is from low to high, from basic phonetic phenomena to tones, idioms, sentence patterns and American thinking and rhetoric. It can be said that it is a good explanation of the core problems of listening, rather than superficial problem-solving skills. This book has no title, so it can be said to be a guiding book for listening review. The new edition of the book adds some chapters to IBT.
The old TOEFL iBT listening idioms are called TOEFL listening idioms.
Author: Xu Yang Press: Yan Qun Press Pricing: 24 yuan.
For information about books, please click
This book collects many idioms that appear in TOEFL listening. But after reading the old edition, I feel as if I can't find any new changes, which are similar to the old edition. Listening idioms used to be an important test site and a difficult point in the old TOEFL PartA. Because short dialogues are difficult to carry out and it is more difficult to investigate specific events involved than long dialogues, it is often difficult to directly investigate idioms in dialogues. But the dialogues in the new TOEFL listening are all long dialogues, which are much longer than the old TOEFL. Most of the topics are about the specific content of the dialogue, and rarely involve phrases. Therefore, the role of this book may not be as useful in the new TOEFL era as in the old TOEFL era.
Components:
The topic of TOEFL.iBT high score composition is recommended to the old version, which is the TOEFL 6 score composition-the TOEFL official question bank model set.
Author: Li Xiaolai Johnson. Weber Press: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 48 yuan.
For information about books, please click
This book lists all the questions in the old TOEFL TWE 185 question bank, and gives Chinese translations. It feels more like a reference book. The domestic TOEFL model essay should be of high quality and rich in words. Because the independent writing questions in the new TOEFL composition test and the first two questions in the oral test use questions very similar to TWE 185, and sometimes even directly use TWE questions, this book still has high reference value. But one thing, no matter what composition book you choose, don't copy the model essays in the book. ETS is most afraid of copying model essays, but because it uses templates, it does not give high marks, which will invalidate the composition! The new edition of this book presents an MP3 CD, which records all the model essays and can help you practice your oral English.
Challenge TOEFL iBT composition full score mainly recommends the old version of this book as a challenge TOEFL composition full score.
Author: Xu Yi Publishing House: World Book Publishing Company Pricing: 26 yuan

Friends based on this book introduced many ways to improve strength, which are comprehensive and practical. The new edition also adds the content about comprehensive writing.
