Problem: Article: You don't need to be jumping around every few minutes to show you're into the music. You can simply do small movements like bouncing your head to the beat. Nod it up and down in time to the music, making sure that you do it hard enough to be noticeable. Similarly, make sure you're swinging your hips and moving your shoulders. You want to show the audience you're having a good time! Don't always point the end of your guitar off to the left of the stage. Sometimes, you can turn it toward the crowd so that you're sideways to the audience. You can also turn it to the back so you're sideways going the other direction. This just adds visual interest to your performance. You're not just standing there, still as a statue. You could also tip the neck up and play it that way for a while or lean over and play it downward toward the crowd. If you come to an important part of the music, you want to acknowledge it with your movement on stage. An easy way to do that is to just tip the neck of the guitar up into the air for that beat, then bring it back down. Make this movement as you're strumming down on the guitar. You're basically bringing the guitar up to meet your hand. You can also do the opposite movement. If you're strumming upward on the guitar, you can slam the neck downward. This stance is straight out of classic rock. Essentially, you're trying to make yourself bigger. Lift the neck of the guitar up and tilt the head down. Lift your elbows out as you play to make yourself appear bigger and spread your feet out so you have a very wide stance. You can also bend your knees. Don't stand this way too much; instead, use it for emphasis. If you're coming to the end of a mad riff, you want to show how awesome it is. Simply kick one leg out in front of you as you finish the riff, slamming your hand on the last chord. Make sure to get some height with this kick. Don't try a high kick, but the audience should be able to see the sole of your shoe. Practice this without the guitar first! This is a great way to get people's attention. Hold the pick up for a second and look at the audience. Choose your target, and then flip it dramatically outward toward that spot. You can even point before you toss it.
Summary: Bounce your head and move your body to the music. Change your position on stage and point your guitar in different directions to mix it up. Emphasize a cymbal crash or major chord by tipping up your guitar. Use the "power stance" when you're playing a major riff. Try a kick for emphasis. Flip a pick out to the audience.

Problem: Article: Try reading college-level textbooks, which are written in the same style that the TOEFL will use, and cover a wide range of topics. You should definitely build reading time into your study schedule, but try to add additional reading time to your day, too. Try reading during your commute or before you go to bed. Use the internet! News articles, blogs, and online magazines are all helpful when improving your reading skills. You can read whatever interests you. Try food blogs if you are trying to improve your cooking skills, or read about health and wellness if you're trying to get fit. All that matters is that you read. After you read an article or text, write a brief summary. Make sure to include all of the main points of the text. If there are 2 viewpoints being expressed, make sure to include both of those in your summary. Start by listing the main points and the supporting details. Then turn those into a complete paragraph. After you write your summary, go back and fix any spelling or grammatical errors. It's really important that you understand what you are reading. Test yourself by answering some basic questions after you read a text. For example, make sure that you can answer basic questions. It's always a good idea to be able to identify the "who, what, when, where, and why." Have a friend quiz you by coming up with questions about what you've just read. Improving your vocabulary will help you read better. Keep a small notebook with you at all times so you can write down new words. Any time you hear or read a new word, write it down. When you have time, look up the meaning and write that down, too. You can make flashcards with your vocab words on them so that you can easily quiz yourself. Make sure that your essay has an introduction, body, and conclusion. While you are writing practice essays, get in the habit of structuring your essays in that way. Each body paragraph should focus on 1 subject. Don't forget to include a strong thesis statement! Use keywords and phrases to mark your place in the essay. For example, if you're comparing to points, say, "In contrast to" When you come to your last paragraph, you can say something like, "To conclude" When you're studying, stick to a plan for writing your essays. You should get used to spending 4-5 minutes planning and organizing your writing. Save another 5 minutes at the end to edit your work. The rest of the time should be devoted to writing the essay. You should use clear, brief sentences for the writing portion. Make sure to stay on topic and only write about the main points of your outline. For example, if you're writing about an essay on taking care of your dog, you might write, "The most important thing is to give your dog lots of attention. Play with it, take it outside, and talk to it every day. You also need to focus on giving it nutritious food." Write in the active voice to make your points really clear.
