I still remember when I took the TOEFL exam for the first time, my mark was awful, I totally lost confidence in doing a good job on the test, even doubted if my English was any good at all. My dad was the person that helped me through the tough time. First, instead of blaming or punishing me, he spent a lot of time going through the rating card with me to find out what went wrong and how I could improve. Next, he bought many useful books for me to prepare for the test. In the books, I found many sample questions and responses that gave me a good idea of what my answers should be like. He was very supportive in the process, thanks to my dad, I’m more confident this time around that I can do a better job.
