Finally, here it is, an updated version of the TOEFL test, and in this case, the TOEFL Writing section. I know you really just want to start doing it, really quickly, for those of you who don´t know, as of August 1st, 2019 the TOEFL test has changed. The reading, Listening, and Speaking sections have changed, but the Writing pretty much stays the same. There is one small difference. And that small difference is that for the Independent Writing question, which is Writing question number two. The questions have gone a little bit longer, for example, if they asked you before, "Do you agree or disagree all high school students should wear uniforms?" You have to write an essay about that. Now, the question might be a little longer, say something like, "There are some schools that make their students wear uniforms, other schools do not let students wear school uniforms. And there is a big debate between parents, teachers, and students whether or not it is bla bla bla... And then the question. Do you think it's a good idea? So, it's pretty much teh same thing, but just expect the independent question to be a little bit longer. So, if you want, please download the PDF version of this, it's in the description below. It´ll have example essays so you can actually see what a perfect quote-unquote essay would look like.
