Here's the next TOEFL iBTv tutorial in the series to do with writing, and this one gives you some simple tips on the basic structure of your integrated writing task response.

Moving on to some grammar for your independent writing efforts!

The latest TOEFL iBTv tutorial below features a simple lesson on using IF/WHEN in Zero Conditional constructions to help you create general examples related to the general present. (These can then be added to in order to create more specific examples, but they make a good lead in after you've stated a reason and if you want to support it in general everyday terms before getting specific).

New TOEFL iBTv tutorial loaded - using the integrated writing task as a framework, get some important reminders about using basic punctuation correctly in your written response!
