PREFACE

In good English an attempt should be made to make the language as even and balanced as possible. This balance is called parallel structure. You can achieve parallel structure by making the forms of words as similar as possible. The job of the coordinate is to join together equal expressions. In other words, what is on one side of these words must be parallel to what is on the other side. The purpose of this paper is to do our TOEFL assignment and to promote student success on the TOEFL test. Furthermore, it is expected that this paper can accompanied by materials containing exercises for each skill and also practice test to help students know how to do the TOEFL test. Finally, we thank to god the almighty that we can finish compiling this paper. We realize that our work is far from being perfect, so we need some suggestion and critic.
