This is my first time to take the computer-based test, but I have taken the paper-based test in 2002 in China. I think there are a lot of difference between them, Especially listening. So we should prepare it on purpose. I spent one month to prepare this test. The structure and reading cost me two weeks, and the listening took me the last two weeks.
What is noticing is on the second part. I felt the first 20 questions of structure were easy. When I finished them, I still had six minutes left. Unfortunately, I spent too much time on two questions. When I saw the time on the screen, I had only twenty seconds to finish the last two questions. So I chose the answer as possible as I could. From the score, I knew that my answers were wrong. What a pity! I could do better on this section. And I don’t plan to take TOFEL again. I wish you could get some useful information from my experience. I finished the reading test in advance about forty minutes, so I checked it carefully once. I went to the restroom after I finished the checking. It doesn’t matter, if your time is enough, you can go to restroom if you want.
TWE: a person you know is planning to move to your town or city, what do you think this person would like and dislike about living in your town or city? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.
Reading:
America country music. 主要讲美国乡村音乐商业化之前的状况。
Independence revolution. 美国独立前存在的一些问题；缺人，没有强烈的愿望。但是英国放弃了，美国坚持，尽管英国在军事上有优势，美国还是独立了。
The development of bridge in West coast and East coast. 一战delay the developing of bridge in America. But the traffic requires more bridges. People who work on ferry oppose it. Because their benefit will be affected by this developing. The success of East coast in New York city encouraged the development of West coast at the same time.
Early human making stone tool. 讲原始人类为什么要把石头做成工具以及这些工具的特征。有两种观点，一种是认为原始人做石头工具是为了更好的准备食物，例如把大块肉切碎。另一种观点认为石头工具是作为武器使用。最后作者还是认同前者的观点。 the word fashion I am not sure which is correct answer (make or employ)
Symmetry.
讲pattern和symmetry的问题。说数学家专门定义symmetry是一种可以量化的概念，比较的物体经过变换之后还能保持和原来一样的性质。比如EEEEEEEEEE……（无限个E一排）可以把所有的元素都向左移一格，或者镜面反射一下都保持不变。而蜈蚣也有这个特性（专门画了一条蜈蚣在题目上，）。可以量化的好处是可以比较谁更symmetric。比如圆就比正方形more symmetric一点，因为正方形只有旋转一定角度的时候才是symmetry，圆可以旋转任意角度。（有一题让你比较哪个图形更symmetric一点，答案是圆）
