The purpose of this book is to prepare young learners for successful results on the TOEFL Primary tests created by ETS TOEFL Primary, the first level of TOEFL assessment, is designed to

measure young learners’ English ability, especially their skills in reading, listening, and speaking

Reading ene is divided into two levels: Step 1 and Step-2

Step 1 examines young learners at the early stages of learning The reading passages and

listening scripts are based on contexts that young learners are familiar with The basic words,

phrases, and expressions are selected from common objects, people, and places, while the

questions are fairly short, simple, and related to everyday life Step 2 features questions about

basic expressions, requests, phrases, and directions as well One major difference between

the Steps 1 and 2 is that Step 2 contains stories and conversations that are slightly longer and

more complex than those of Step 1 Furthermore, in Step 2, learners will be challenged by facing

unfamiliar words with contextual clues

TORRL peeling is for both Steps 1 and 2 This test is intended to evaluate young learners’ ability to communicate orally in situations that they are familiar with in their daily lives The

learners are asked to express their feelings, describe people, places, and things, and explain or

Sequence series of events

Each unit of this book introduces new words that are related to a given topic in order to stimulate young learners to learn new words or review ones that they already know One of the

many advantages of this book is that all of the reading, listening, and speaking sections of each

unit are centered on a particular topic This allows students to see how the target words, phrases,

and expressions are used differently in each section The contexts for each topic have been

carefully selected to correspond with the real test standards, so learners will find expressions,

phrases, and directions that are similar to those appearing on the actual test This book will give

young learners a chance to become familiar with TOEFL Primary tests by looking at questions in a

variety of situations

requires students to answer questions after reading a letter The third type features a

long fiction, while the last part covers a short non-fiction reading passage
