grammar well, so she could not understand what is the text tell about and
what she listening about.
So, the learner should have more knowledge about grammar before

comprehension section, structure and written expression section, and
reading comprehension section. Furthermore, the purpose of she takes this
course is to get TOEFL score above 550.
