How to deal with the TOEFL essay?

Hello, about the TOEFL essay improvement strategy.

1. Summarize, that is, summarize the main content and three sub-arguments of the reading and listening passages. This is actually the content of the introduction, and if you master the summary, the first paragraph will not be a problem!

2. Paraphrase, that is, rephrasing. Once you have mastered rewriting sentences, you will feel like a fish in water and comfortable when you write articles.

1.Use different vocabulary.

a.Use synonyms, such as some of the following synonyms for high-frequency words, that you must master, especially if they appear frequently.

b.Changing parts of speech, which is a slightly more difficult method, requires you to have a good grammatical foundation so that you can use it flexibly.

c.Use different succession words. Successor words are used quite frequently in texts, not only to connect paragraphs, but also to connect sentences. Memorizing some of the most commonly used words will make a big difference than your rephrasing.

d.Reverse expression of adjectives. Modifications on certain adjectives can achieve extraordinary results.

2.Use different sentence patterns.

a.Change the word order. It's a very simple way to rewrite it without using your brains. The adverbial clause (including the adverbial clause) in the sentence is often replaced.

b.The active and passive voices are replaced by each other.

c.With the "there be" sentence pattern, you can immediately turn a simple sentence into a complex sentence with a definite clause or participle.

d.Substitution of definite clauses, participles and insertions.

1. Respond effectively to the topic and clarify the topic of the article. Generally speaking, it is rare for independent writing to be completely off-topic, but the arguments used by many test takers in the discussion are more likely to have little relevance to the topic, that is, the phenomenon of partial answers that are not asked, which affects the score.

2. The logic is clear and the argument is sufficient. The key to this point lies in whether the argument provides a lot of detail and examples to support the point, rather than making generalities. For example, if a student has a strong English writing ability, I just say that it is very strong, very powerful, and very good at writing, but if I say that this student scored 29 points in the TOEFL writing test, then it is a very detailed and convincing argument.

3. The content is coherent and consistent, and the connection is natural and smooth. Essays that achieve coherence usually revolve around the central argument in their entirety, without contradicting the arguments or repeating arguments, and sometimes acting as a glue through some relational conjunctions that indicate cause and effect, sequence, and progression.

4. The choice of words and sentences is authentic, and the language is skillful. The TOEFL test is a language test after all, and it is ultimately necessary to test the candidate's language ability, but it should be noted that it is not required that the candidate is not required to use difficult words and long sentences throughout the text, but to use some commonly used sentences in the United States to express their thoughts clearly, so it is recommended that the test taker try to read and imitate the original English materials as much as possible, so that the written article can be authentic. It is recommended that only by fully understanding the scoring criteria of the new TOEFL writing test can test takers be targeted, examine their own shortcomings, and make up for them in the preparation process, so as to achieve a high score in writing.

TOEFL Essay Notes:

Listening, reading, and writing are combined and converted into each other. This is the most crucial part of integrated writing, which is how to use what you see and hear and quickly translate into what you write. For more tips go to Beijing New Oriental's TOEFL intensive class, note:

Reading doesn't require us to grasp the details, all we need to do is to write down the main points and then have a good idea of what we are going to listen to next.

Writing is a synthesis of reading an essay and then listening to a lecture that has the same content but contradicts each other, and is supported by their own arguments. All you need to do is explain the relationship between the two, and you don't need to express your opinion.

2.You need to quickly distill the three points of the reading material so that you can quickly get the information you need when listening to the lecture. Then write the readings and the arguments from the presentation, and the arguments (especially the key) into the text, and you can borrow some templates and sentence structures to speed up the text and clarify the context of the text.
