Enjoy your vacations!

The semester is over! We hope you enjoyed and learned a lot during the semester!
Some of you still need to practice TOEFL so here you have some links that can be useful, remember you can also do your toefl worksheets again and the correct answers are also here so you can check them while you study!

Feel free to add useful links on the comments or to ask questions to any of the teachers.

• Here you can answer a practice test: https://www.4tests.com/toefl#StartExam at the end it gives you the grade.
• Here you can practice some excercises: https://www.englishtestexercises.com/toefl-itppbt .        The website is a little weird but if you play the videos you'll listen to the questions and it'll show you the answers, you write on your notebook the correct option and in the end it gives you the correct answers. Then for the reading and grammar it gives you some word and pdf documents which are pretty good and also include the answers. It won't give you a grade at the end, but you can choose what to practice, and there are more exercises for each section.
