TOEFL Vocabulary: Environment
While getting ready for the TOEFL exam, one of the most challenging and perhaps difficult parts is revising or learning the Academic Wordlist. Exam takers may encounter new words not only in the reading section, but also in the listening one, and this usually hinders their good result. To enrich and to practice student’s vocabulary we have designed TOEFL Vocabulary Quizlet cards on the topic of “Environment”.
