TOEFL Speaking and Writing - AVOID 'say' - 16 Better Alternatives
In TOEFL Speaking and in TOEFL Writing you must avoid using the verb ‘say’ - I show you 16 better alternatives that you can use instead. There are several TOEFL tasks where you need to talk about what another person said. If you want to get a high TOEFL score, you should not only use the verb ‘to say’. Rather, you must use different verbs to express what somebody said. These verbs are important TOEFL vocabulary, so make sure that you memorize them. If you use these verbs during your TOEFL preparation, it will be a lot easier for you to remember them in the TOEFL test.

HOW TO WORK WITH THIS VIDEO
1. Watch the video and make sure you understand everything.
2. Download the illustration.
3. Use the illustration for your TOEFL preparation.
FYI
The examples I use in the video and in the illustration are made up by me.
1) SAYING
In TOEFL Speaking and in TOEFL Writing task 1 you need to talk about what another person says. For example, in TOEFL Speaking there is the campus announcement task where you need to talk about the opinion of a person regarding an announcement. In these tasks you should use synonyms for ‘to say’. This way you show ETS that you have a broad range of vocabulary and this will improve your TOEFL score. These are synonyms that you can use instead:
state
believe
think
remark
2) POINTING OUT
In TOEFL Speaking in the campus announcement task and in TOEFL Writing it can happen that the person says that one of his arguments is really important. In this case you must express that this argument is crucial for this person. If you do this, you show ETS that you know the vocabulary to do that and you also show that you have understood that the person finds this argument particularly important. These are verbs that you can use to do this:
point out
emphasize
highlight
stress
3) ARGUING
In TOEFL Writing task 1 you must explain the arguments of a writer and a lecturer. Each of the two argues for something. It is important that you express this by using different verbs. This is TOEFL vocabulary that you must know because you must show ETS that the person is arguing for something and that you can describe this using appropriate words. Use these verbs to express that a person argues for something:
argue
hold
maintain
claim
4) OBJECTING
In TOEFL Writing task 1 the writer and the lecturer have opposing views. Usually, the writer states something and the lecturer opposes this argument. Use these verbs to express that one person opposes the arguments of another person:
challenge
call into question
reject
refute

The best TOEFL teacher
Thank you so much
Thank you for the videos. I have a question: In task 2, is it better to use past or present tense? He points out or he pointed out?
I'm so glad you like the videos :). Are you referring to task 2 in TOEFL Speaking (the campus announcement)? If yes, you should use the past tense. Check out my TOEFL Speaking Template video where I explain everything :).
Reporting from Cuba here! Hola Juva. I love your videos. Thank you for all your advices! Keep on your good work!
I have a question about the Writing section, on the integrated task I think? The first task. The one with the lecture.
So I'm studying with the TOEFL Official Guide app. And these practice tests they come with an ""Audio Transcription "" for the lecture. So you can actually see" the lecture. But the same, just for the one time , while the audio is on.
My question. Do you remember if you had that " as an option in your test? Or is this just an option for practice tests? If you understand what I mean...
I have problems with the spelling and if this is actually an option on the lecture part. Uff! Live saver! 😅
Hola Maria! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you like them :). There is no transcription for the lecture in TOEFL Writing, you only listen to it. Sorry for the bad news! If you like, have a look at my video where I talk about the integrated task, it may be helpful to you. Muchos saludos :)
@@juvayikes! Jajaj. Ok. Thank you Juva. Thanks for answering so quick.😊

@@dwihartatiningsih8428 Congratulations Dwi! That's awesome, you can be so proud of yourself! I'm so glad I could help
Hi Juva! I want to ask if I can have two markers in TOEFL home edition? Thank you! Your videos are so helpful.
Hi Rica, I'm so glad you like the videos :). I'd recommend asking your proctor whether it's ok before you start the TOEFL.
@@juva thank you for the response! I will ☺️
@@ricamaenava You're very welcome! :)
hello juva i have a question please
in my toefl exam silly me thought that in the listening part isnt there maybe 6 minutes for the first 11 questions?
i thought that the time is restarting, 6 min for each question and took my time so i missed many of the last questions time was up
it is my fault right? the proctor told me to email ets but they wont do anything about it right?
im so sad because in listening usually the mark is highest
Hello, I'm so sorry to hear that! Unfortunately, the time doesn't restart. Don't be sad, perhaps you didn't miss that many questions and your score is not affected that much.
@@juva thank you so much for the motivation! ETS are not responding so I think whatever happened happened I should just move on
@@TH-camr-by6hx You're right, don't worry about it. Everything will be fine!
💜
Thank you so much
I am wondering, if I am the only person who switch subtitles ( in English ) on when I watch any movie, or there are others like me ,I'd love to know that . especially if you are a native speaker!
what about you juva!
Excellent question Marwa! I think it depends on whether you just started to learn English or whether you are more advanced. If you just started, it may be difficult understanding everything, so subtitles are a great help. If you are more advanced, you can switch them off to train your ears ;). I don't switch them on but I have been listening to English TV series for quite some time, so I'm used to it.
@@juva Hey Juva, I'm about to ask you about something bold, if you have some time, can you do (copy and paste this link) on youtube , these two guys from 2F freestyle teams can you just tell me what he did say in 4:25 i heard just ( wanna play football so bad ) but i don't know what he exactly did say (th-cam.com/video/6bZt2wPAJno/w-d-xo.html)
if you don't have time or out the zone don't do it , you are my friend and you have helped me alot before so it's fine
@@juva i can understand what they say but the problem is when they change the pronounce of words so that i get confused, like in above video
@@marwakhateeb3721 I'll have a look at it when I've the time. In the meantime try to focus on the context of what they're saying, sometimes this helps to figure out words you don't understand.
@@juva have you heard the news in English before? and did you understand them perfectly ? For me i did yes that a tiny bit uncomfortable but i can understand them relatively like 50% what they say but not exactly ,i know that my questions is strange , i prefer to listen to people how talk about normal topics ,oh arealdy i abhor the news whatever.
