Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Essential Words for the TOEFL (Paperback)

TOEFL teachers are always looking for supplementary material to use in their classrooms.
This is simply an expansion of the standard TOEFL literature that exists. It is organized and
easily understood. If you are a TOEFL teacher you'll enjoy the addition to your curriculum.
