TOEFL IBT 100 (for non-native speaker) NO.2

As a non native speaker, I want to share my personal study method to get 100 scores in TOEFL iBT test. Without studying abroad, I believe that anyone can get under 110 scores by studying English hard.
Plus, as I am a Korean high-schooler, I don't know how to study english professionally and it is purely based on my personally realization during studying.

Listening Tips

 *Remember 'Types of questions are fixed.'

1. Topic
Every lecture tell you its topic in the beginning. For example, "Now, I'm going to talk about." So, you have to write down when the professor tells you the topic of the lecture. 

2.Example and Reason
Some questions ask to you why the professor mentioned this example. You have to find the relationship between the topic and the example. 
So, you have to listen carefully when the lecturer speaks, for example, Take A, Imagine A, Like A or Reason, that’s why, because, cause, due to.

3.However
The word 'However' is really important because it can reverse the whole contents. 

For example,,,
One day, my brother decided to go camping with his friends. He was totally excited. He packed all his stuffs and ran to his friend's house to bring him. They walked to the camping place talking with each other. However, as soon as they arrived, it began raining. They were all wet and they had to come back to their houses. 

Q> according to the passage, which one is true?
a) Boys made good camping experience.
b) Boys wanted go camping, but they failed. 

It is too easy question, I know. But the thing that you can get here is that the word 'HOWEVER' can make the story exactly the opposite. 
So, when you hear HOWEVER you have to take the memo. 

4. List
There are some questions that make you choose 2 or 3 answers. 
To prepare for these questions you should take notes when you listen the words listed. 
A couple of, a number of a series of, several, two things
These are the key words that teach you the words listed.

5. Next action
'After this conversation, what are they going to do?' 
To answer this kind of question, you must listen to the last word.
Let's, I am going to, Shall we  are the key words.

 *How to enjoy english listenging

Whenever I had free time, I used to watch American drama. I think it is better to watch dramas that often have easy expressions rather than dramas with difficult medical terms or legal terms. 
<MY recommendation> -NETFLIX

3. Modern family

And don't forget, Watching without subtitles!
