Приклади завдань TOEFL Writing
Наступний етап – лист. Чим більше ти пишеш есе TOEFL самостійно, тим краще!
Також потрібно точно знати, скільки витратити часу на планування свого есе. Можливо, потренуватися “накидати” тези на чернетці, згадати (або вигадати) приклади з життя. Потім виділити час написання кожного абзацу та зв’язку з-поміж них.
Нижче наведено 15 пробних питань для практики навичок написання есе. На написання реального есе з TOEFL дається 30 хвилин. Якщо збираєшся практикувати написання відповідей – відтвори собі такі ж умови і не забудь перечитати свої відповіді пізніше! Якщо ти не ходиш на курси TOEFL з викладачем, то це дуже хороша ідея – перечитувати та виправляти свої есе приблизно через тиждень.
