Four complete lessons from the Test Ninjas TOEFL course, one for each section. No account, no time limit: read each lesson in full, or take it step by step with drills that check your answers.
Choose the purpose verb that matches what a message does (announce, remind, warn, request, confirm, recommend, complain, apologize), and report it with the verb’s own pattern: remind someone of, warn someone not to, ask someone to, apologize for + noun or ‑ing.
Recognize the register of an official notice, a service email and a personal post, find the audience line, and read an informal line (a question the writer answers, an idiom) for what it means.
Answer main-purpose questions by naming the whole text’s job in one verb before you read the options, then reject options with the wrong verb, one detail promoted to the purpose, or a claim the text never makes.
Say what each wh- form asks for (who, whose, which + noun, what time, where, when, why, how come, how long, how often, how far, how many) and give a reply that supplies it.
Hear wh- questions in fast, contracted speech (Who’s / Whose, Where’d, Why’s, How long’s), and tell a normal wh- question from an echo question that asks you to repeat something, using word order as well as the tune.
In Listen and Choose a Response, choose the reply that answers the real question, including one that answers it indirectly, and reject replies that answer another question word or echo a sound.
Choose the greeting, requests, word level and sign-off that fit the reader, reading the recipient line and the situation together (someone you haven’t met or who decides → usually formal; someone you work with every week → neutral; a friend → informal), and avoid both mistakes: too casual for a manager, too stiff for a friend.
Open with one or two sentences that give the context and your purpose (I am writing about / to ask / because …), ask politely with indirect questions (I would like to know how …), and close with a clear last request when you still need something (the action, plus a time if the situation gives or suggests one), then a courtesy line and a matching sign-off.
Read a Write an Email prompt in three passes (reader, situation, requirement verbs), write a one-line plan for each requirement, and give each requirement its own paragraph that does what its verb asks.
Describe experiences in the right time frame: present perfect for your life up to now (I’ve…; Have you ever…? – Yes, I have), past simple once you name a time or tell the story (Last spring I…), and present simple or used to for routines now and before.
Open with an answer sentence that reuses the question’s key words (What I remember most is…; Usually I…; I’d go with…; No, not always…), then add one concrete detail or reason.
Hear every job in a two-part interview question, answer the first job in sentence one, and reach the second job before the 45 seconds run out.
These are the same lessons as in the paid course, not cut-down samples. Each one teaches one point of English and one task skill, and follows the course’s steps:
Free lesson steps
Step
What you do
Quick check
A few questions before any teaching, so you know where to focus.
Teaching cycles
Short pages with rules, examples and tables, each followed by drills that build to test level. Every page can be played aloud.
Word bank
Ten words and phrases from real course questions, with examples, collocations and word families.
Summary
The rules and the takeaway on one page.
Walk-through
A real course question with the answer and coach notes: what to notice, the move, and why the trap attracts.
The full course continues each lesson with guided practice on a test screen modeled on the 2026 TOEFL and a Check under test conditions, then links every mistake back to the part of the lesson that teaches it.
Yes. Each of the four lessons is complete and needs no account: every teaching page, drill, word bank and summary is open, along with a walk-through on a real course question. Only the guided practice and the test-conditions Check at the end are part of the paid course.
Read in Daily Life (Reading), Listen and Choose a Response (Listening), Write an Email (Writing) and Take an Interview (Speaking). Each is the first lesson of its module in the full course.
About 50 minutes if you do every drill. You can stop at any point: the interactive version remembers your place in the browser you used.
It helps. The recording drills use your browser’s microphone and keep the recording on your device so you can compare it with the model. If you can’t record, you can say your answer aloud and still compare with the model and the checklist.
The lesson narration and the example recordings use AI-generated voices. The full text of every page is shown on screen, so you can read along or read instead.
