23 TRIK TOEFL
Selamat pagi semuanya…
Catatan kecil ini kembali pada sebuah momen
dimana saya menghilangkan buku sakti yang saya dapat dari Oxford. Demi bisa
melanjutkan kembali sekolah di jenjang magister saya relakan waktu liburan,
kerja, dan leyeh-leyeh saya untuk ke Oxford. Sejarahnya panjang kenapa Oxford
yang saya pilih yang jelas, Oxford bisa membawa saya ke jenjang magister
antropologi di UI. Hehhee alhamdulillah ya, rezekinya di sana. 
Tunggu dulu, Oxford yang saya maksud adalah
lembaga les bahasa Inggris di kampung Inggris Pare, Kediri, Jawa Timur.
Hehehee…
Saya mendapatkan 23 trik TOEFL yang mungin
bisa membantu oleh teman-teman dalam mengerjakan TOEFL… awal belajar memang
merasa “ini susunan kata kenapa banyak banget syaratnya sih” setelah tahu
triknya, saya berkata, “oh ternyata” meski ada lanjutannya tapi bla bla bla….
Perlu digaris bawahi pula, catatan ini saya
susun untuk mengantisipasi catatan saya yang hilang, baik dimakan zaman, rayap,
atau kesingsel… jadi catatan yang saya tulis berdasarkan yang saya pahami
karena merupakan alat bantu saya mengerjakan soal.
Semoga bermanfaat pula untuk teman-teman ya
^^
