    Guys, I was reading TOEFL book, getting ready for quite some time, doing all the drills, however this video…helped me the most (all the videos by this author)I looked through a lot of videos. But these ones proved to be very helpful. Did my TOEFL test in March ( got 107 out of 127)

    I had already thought about the structure of my answers when I came across your videos. They made me realize that examples are important, an aspect I had completely overlooked.
