taking notes or not
My English listening class’ teacher taught us that we should take notes while we were listening to a lecture. It would be easier if we were asked to answer some questions in the tests. Taking notes became a habit to me when I was listening to a conversation or a lecture. It really helped me a lot. However, I am going to take Toeic next month, it is not allowed to take notes on the test paper. It is hard for me to answer several questions after listening to a conversation without taking any notes. I can’t exactly remember what it just said. Now I practiced to do some listening exercises what Toeic’s questions liked. Hope I can do a god job in the examination.

No apostrophe after "class" in "listening class teacher". This is translating directly from Chinese into English. Chinese is more likely to use a structure that is often translated as a possessive (using "的" in Chinese) in English -- but this is what STUT calls it: 聽力老師. In English, though, we'd say "The teacher of my listening class". Structure's such as "the class's teacher" are poor style.
"a habit for me" is idiomatic.
"Toeic next month, it is not allowed" should be "TOEIC next month, and I won't be allowed".
"Now I practiced to do some listening exercises what Toeic’s questions liked." ==> "Now I'm practicing some TOEIC listening exercises."
If you pay attention to the main points of the listening exercise, then you shouldn't have any trouble remembering what was said.
Good luck on your TOEIC test.
I made a typo: "Structure's such as" should be "Structures such as".
Your apostrophe mistake is contagious, I'm afraid.
