Write Clear, Well-Organized TOEFL Essays with a Proven Step-by-Step System
Many TOEFL candidates know English well but lose points on organization, development and accuracy under time pressure. This TOEFL essay writing guide gives you a structured method to plan, write and revise strong responses, with a large library of model essays to learn from.
What’s Inside
This 400+ page PDF eBook is written for the TOEFL iBT Writing section and covers:
- A nine-step essay method. Read the topic, identify the task, write your thesis, brainstorm, add specific details, write the introduction, body and conclusion, then revise.
- A practical time schedule. A plan–write–revise timetable for the 30-minute Independent Task.
- All nine Independent Task types. Stating a preference, agreeing or disagreeing, giving an explanation, making an argument, comparing and contrasting, and comparing advantages to make a choice. Each type comes with its own planning approach.
- Introduction and conclusion techniques. Five ways to open an essay (general statement, proverb, quote, rhetorical question, anecdote), plus common mistakes to avoid.
- Paraphrasing skills. Synonyms, phrases, alternative grammatical structures and strong reporting verbs.
- Conjunctions and punctuation. Coordinating, correlative and conjunctive adverbs, adjective clauses, appositives and adverb clauses.
- Transitions for every purpose. Contrast, addition, similarity, time, result, examples, emphasis, conclusion, purpose, condition, cause and location.
- Common-error practice. Fragments, run-ons, capitalization, possessives, tense shifts, agreement, misplaced modifiers, commas, semicolons, dashes and colons.
- 210+ sample essays on 183 topics. The samples are grouped into four levels, from pre-intermediate to advanced, so you can study responses close to your own level.
- Integrated Task guidance. Scoring, outlining, note-taking, useful structures, sample responses and audio scripts.
