Abstract
Most beginners in TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) complain its level of difficulty especially in the Listening and Reading sections. They sometimes grow frustrated as the test is administrated within a set of time. There are 140 items which should be done in two hours. This means that each item must be answered in less than one minute. In fact, test takers should be trained to answer each item in thirty seconds.What is often misunderstood is the fact that TOEFL is a speed test which requires quick and efficient thinking to comprehend each item. This is relevant to the culture of the language. It is commonly known that language is related to culture. Indonesian students have little training for the speedy thinking process. As a result, they miss the implication of a sentence in the Listening section.
