Susan and France


Hi Everyone,

My name is Susan and I am your TOEFL iBT instructor. I know a lot about this subject because I’ve been teaching it for a number of years and I’ve taken a special interest in it. In fact, I even work on TOEFL when I am on holidays! That shows you that I really take my job seriously. I hope I will be able to help you improve your own knowledge of TOEFL so that you may achieve the goals you have established for yourself.

I’m from Montreal, Quebec and that is where I learned French. I had this wonderful friend, who worked with me at the same school, and she taught me how to speak French through many long discussions and lots of fun outings such as skating, dancing, and swimming. Initially, this life-changing experience is what got me interested in language instruction. This woman had a huge influence on my life. She is my closest and dearest friend. We still keep in touch and visit when we can.

As for my free time activities, I like drawing, painting, swimming, writing and reading. I am a member of an artist’s group that meets every week for life-drawing sessions. I have a lot of good friends there. I try to swim at least three kilometres a week. Swimming is my favourite sport. It is very relaxing and I always feel great afterwards. Writing and reading are two activities that associate well with my job as an instructor. Becoming a better writer myself helps me teach others how to improve their writing skills. Reading is a great way to expand your vocabulary and it also helps to improve the calibre of your own writing. I’m very satisfied with my hobbies. I have an abundance of interesting activities that boost my creativity, keep me in shape and challenge my mind.

Wishing you a great TOEFL score,

Susan

When I was in the middle school, our English teacher taught us some prounouncation of Franch letters. Those were really interesting.
Swimming is a good sport for people. Have you ever tried to swim in winter? That is very exciting.
