Essay Writing Tips for the TOEFL

Writing a short, timed essay for the TOEFL is a much different experiment than your normal in class essay. First, it is more stressful because there is a lot at stake. Doing poorly can cost you time. Second, since the time is so limited, you really need to be ready to roll when you walk in. Here are some essay writing tips for the TOEFL.

Go in With a Plan

This is not the time to go with the flow! Before you ever arrive for the test you need to know what to expect from the test and know your own capabilities. Make a plan that fits your style. Having a plan means that you know how you will approach the test. Plan your time. Understand the subject or question carefully earlier than planning. Remain that thought in mind as you write. If you are a obsessive who sits and thinks to obtain a large thought, survive yourself!

Stay on Target

Once you’ve selected a topic and a preparation, don’t modify. It is a small paper, and the ideas are not what is creature graded, so attach with your plan no matter what happens.

Make Your Writing Concrete

You want the rater to find your writing clear and understandable. Concrete writing is easier to understand than abstract writing. If you writing is only abstract ideas or any generalized, any grammar and organizational errors that you have will be magnified because the abstractions become completely lost.

Write Your Thesis

Your thesis statement must address the aspects to be discussed in the explanation, rather than give an view on the topic. The thesis statement consists of subject and scheming thought. The controlling idea identifies the capacity of argument in the body.

Editing

Editing should never be underestimated, so one should have enough time to do it. Check for spelling mistakes, tenses, grammar, etc.
