 Online library of 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 books in English. 

All of us have 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗱 to find a decent book to read at some point in our lives, so having a 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 for it at hand is the best way-out from this 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 process.

if you're interested in fiction and adventure, you should start with

The Harry Potter Series.

Reading the whole series would give you a broad enough understanding of the language and an appropriate vocabulary for TOEFL.

One another way it can help you is by giving you an idea of sentence construction.

But, if you prefer non - fiction over fiction, you can start with any of Malcom Gladwell's books.

Two which are my favourite are: 

1. Outliers.

2. Blink.

If you're more into classics, I suggest 1984 by George Orwell. I also recommend newspapers, university books and pages like: IEEE spectrum.

My other book recommendations are here

 ① free-ebooks.net - large selection of e-books sorted by genre

 ② chestofbooks.com – you can choose different genres, including non-fiction

 ③ publicbookshelf.com - for lovers of novels

 ④ readprint.com - classic

The Structure of the TOEFL Test

The TOEFL is broken down into four distinct sections, one for each of the skills listed. However, each section may require you to use more than one of the above four skills. The structure of the test is as follows:

• One Reading Section, consisting of three to four passages that are roughly 700 words each. Each passage will be followed by 12 to 14 multiple-questions about the content of the passage.  Most of these questions will be worth one point each, though a few toward the end of the section may be worth more. You will have either 60 or 80 minutes to complete the entire section. 
• One Listening section, consisting of six to nine audio selections, each of which is three to five minutes long. Each selection will be either an academic lecture or a casual conversation. After each selection, there will be five or six multiple- choice questions about the content of the  lecture or conversation. You will have 60 to 90 minutes to complete the entire section. 
• One Speaking section, consisting of six speaking tasks, Most speaking tasks will also require some listening and some reading. Each task will ask you to speak for 45 to 60 seconds, depending on the task, and you will have 20 minutes to complete the entire section. 
• One Writing section, consisting of two writing assignments. The Writing section, like the Speaking section, also requires listening and reading. You will have 50 minutes to complete the entire section.

15. Some businesses now say that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places.  This is a good idea but it takes away some of our freedom. Some people want to ban smoking forever. Do you agree or disagree? Write at least 250 words. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your  experience.

Introduction: 

Smoking is a dangerous habit. Excessive smoking causes lung cancer, infection, and brain damage. It also causes bad breath and some bad odor that can make one allergic to smoking. Most of the western world now avoid smoking in public places.

Problem:

Like other personal habits such as drinking, chewing tobacco, betel leaves, nut, "khat"  leaves, we cannot ban smoking. One can smoke in one's home if he wishes to . Therefore, ban on smoking takes away our freedom as human. Therefore, it's absurd idea to ban smoking forever.

Solution:

In my opinion, we should ban smoking in public places such as hospitals, offices, markets, shopping malls, schools, colleges and other educational institutions. Although smoking was encouraged at movie, music, and different advertisements, now the western people dis agree with that smoking is a good idea. It was considered "manly" when a hero of a film smoked a cigar with his fancy lighter. Some advertisements on smoking showed smoking were suitable for navy people; courageous people, the braves and common people should buy cigarettes. Smoking was advertised and published as a good company for lonely people in army, navy, police forces and mass young people who are struggling for life. 

Example:

Now the western people avoid smoking and sue millions of dollar lawsuit against tobacco companies claiming smoking caused severe chronic disease like cancer, lung infection, TB etc. Therefore, multinational companies are now making tremendous business in third world countries. Passive smoking is dangerous for smokers as well as no-smokers. 

We must ban smoking in common and public places as western countries have already done. Public smoking encourages youth to smoke and causes us smoking heavily on our poor economy. Now people in a developing country like ours pay for smoking than paying for good foods. So, we should discourage smoking and put a ban on smoking in hospitals, shopping malls, schools and other public gatherings. We should also stop smoking considering its bad effects on health and bad smell that causes some of us very uncomfortable. In addition, secondary smoking, passive smoking or second hand smoking makes a non-smoker very uncomfortable and more harmful for him than the smoker who smokes beside a non-smoker. Countries like the USA, The UK, Sweden, Singapore, and Japan already ban smoking in public places. But we cannot stop it everywhere such as in one's home and other public places such as bar, restaurants, casino and other places of entertainments. It's a very personal habit and many of earlier scientists, politicians, lawyers, doctors and engineers used to smoke. Moreover, we also observe some jobs such as police, marketing jobs; rickshaw pulling and many other jobs give physical and mental pressure. Therefore, some competent people in these jobs find smoking as an encouragement for their growing successes and find smoking relieves mental tension.
 In conclusion,  we should say that we cannot and should not ban smoking ultimately and forever. as it's a personal or individual habit. It's an absurd idea. However, we can ban smoking in public places and discourage smoking through our media. Moreover, we should encourage poor people to spend for food than smoking.

14. In this decade, which technology has developed the most?- Transport, communication, industrialization, genetic engineering ?

 

 

We have developed our transportation in this decade. Euro tunnel, passengers jet airliner, renewable energy, concord airplane etc. are good examples of passenger as well as goods carriers. High tech industries like computer, software, genetically modified foods, interactive TV; 3D pictures etc are the effect of massive industrialization. Cloning of human has done successfully due to 50 years research in genetic engineering. 

In my opinion, communication  technology has developed the most. The information super highway  or the internet is the most successful development in this decade. In addition, satellite TV, mobile phones etc have gained tremendous popularity as a fast and convenient form of communication. The internet provides free and fast access to information  to all over the world. Massive globalization has obtained because of educational, cultural, technological exchange among different countries via the Internet. On line education, business, entertainment, tourism, chat, different images i.e. pictures transmission etc. can be done within minutes. Email can send any message throughout the world in seconds.

 Recent war in Gulf has been finished quickly because of using satellite pictures and message transmission via email - as the Pentagon official quoted. Share information, business transaction, document and picture sending via email, information on movie, music, reading any newspaper via the Internet etc. become highly popular. convenient and cheap. A satellite roaming on space can even read a name plate of a car. Similarly, now-a-days people find it comfortable and convenient to exchange short text messages (SMS) by using mobile phones. People can exchange voices from any remote part of the world.

Last but not least, observers says that massive globalization by the internet has made rich people richer and poor people poorer as the technology is still expensive in developing countries and beyond the reach of common people.
