FYI
The examples I use in the video are made up by me.
1) Note-taking
Do not start writing your independent essay immediately. First, take notes: write down a few keywords and think about how you want to structure your TOEFL essay. This is useful for two reasons. First, you make sure that you actually answer the question given in the prompt. This is very important because you only get a high TOEFL Writing score if you answer the question directly. Second, taking notes for your independent essay in TOEFL Writing is useful because it ensures that you do not forget your reasons and examples while writing.
2) Introduction
The introduction of your independent essay must tell the examiner what your TOEFL essay is about: there must be a hook, a thesis, and a transition. Do not forget to rephrase the words given in the prompt. If you have troubles rephrasing sentences have a look at my video where I explain how to do that step by step (link above).
3) Body
In the body of your independent essay you should provide reasons and examples to support your thesis. You can do it like this: First, state your first reason. After that explain your reason. Then provide an example that supports your reason. This can be an example from your personal experience or another example. I recommend providing two reasons and two corresponding examples. If you have more time, you can also provide a third reason and example, but this is not necessary to get a high TOEFL Writing score.
4) Conclusion
In the conclusion of your independent essay you should restate your thesis and reasons. Remember to rephrase everything. It is very important that you write a strong conclusion. The conclusion is your final opportunity to convince ETS that you deserve a high TOEFL Writing score.
5) Score Boosters
For high TOEFL Writing score you must absolutely include these elements in your TOEFL independent essay:
Structure
Make sure that your essay is well-structured. Your independent essay must consist of an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.
Transitions
In the independent essay in TOEFL Writing using transitions can improve your score considerably. I used many transitions in my TOEFL essays. Transitions improve your TOEFL Writing score for three reasons. First, they show that you know a lot of vocabulary. Second, they help you write a well-structured TOEFL essay. Third, they help you increase your word count. In short, transitions are awesome because they get you a high TOEFL Writing score!
If-clauses
Use at least one if-clause in the independent essay in TOEFL Writing. If-clauses show that you are able to write more complex sentences. Consequently, this will get you a higher TOEFL Writing score. If- clauses are not easy. Therefore, you should practice them during your TOEFL preparation so that you can use them with confidence.

Hello Juva, I started watching your videos this week and they have been really helpful^^ The writing and reading part for me are the hardest (I think I lack common sense), when I was a university student we were never required to present essays therefore my writing skills are quite poor, I’m not coherent, eloquent nor cohesive, nor even when I’m speaking on my native language, I’m taking the toefl to apply for grad school in South Korea and I would like to get a high score but I feel really overwhelmed as I don’t even know where to start.
@juva

Hello August, I'm so glad the videos are helpful to you :). Don't worry, it's totally normal to feel overwhelmed in the beginning. I'd recommend this: Have a look at my playlists and pick the videos you think you need. If TOEFL Reading and Writing is hard for you, you may want to start with that and figure out where your weaknesses are. The playlists can help you with that. If you have any questions, put them in the comments, I'll be happy to answer them :).

Am I wrong about understanding the question? :(

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it :). Physical education simply means gym classes. The questions asks whether gym classes should be obligatory. I said yes and I strengthened my opinion by telling the reader that I started playing basketball and that this was good for me because I exercised and felt good afterwards and so on. That's why I think gym classes should be obligatory because it is better for students. Does this help? :)

Hi Juva, excellent video. I just wanted to ask what if in the TOEFL there is an agree/disagree question with two sides (one which supports the statement and other which opposes). I have heard that in these kind of questions, you should debate both sides one in each body paragraph. Is that true? or should I just write about the side which I agree in the two body paragraphs and support it?
@juva
@juva 2 года назад
Hi Ricardo, thanks a lot, I'm so glad you like it :). If the question asks you whether you agree or disagree with a statement, you have to agree or disagree in your essay. This means that you have to decide for one side. I have not heard of such an essay question. Of course, you should always be prepared for changes. I'd recommend reading the question thoroughly and then it should be clear what you are supposed to do. Hope this helps :).

Hello Juva, I started watching your videos this week and they are so helpful 🙂. But I just wanted to know that, in first paragraph you have mentioned that you do not used to do exercise at all and in second paragraph you are saying that you used to paly basket ball. so don't we need to make over all essay convincing or I am not getting you properly ?

Hello Kamana, I'm so glad you like the video :). That's correct, in the first paragraph I say that I did not exercise when I started studying at university and then I started to go swimming regularly. In the second paragraph I say that I played basketball at university. This does not conflict with my earlier statement saying that when I started studying I did not exercise because playing basketball may have been at any point in time whilst at university, and so this may have happened after having started studying. Hope this helps :).

Hey 😀 In TOEFL Integrated Writing, you must talk about the writer's arguments and the lecturer's counterarguments. Don't talk about your opinion in Task 1. If you do, your score will drop tremendously. In TOEFL Independent Writing, you must talk about your opinion because the prompt asks you to do so.

Hi, using a template won't result in lower scores. I used templates and it worked out fine. A template is just a framework, it is not a memorized answer (the latter would result in lower scores). I'd recommend the following: Check out the template you like and make sure that it only contains expressions you are comfortable with. If you don't like a word, change it. This way you can personalize your template.

Also this kind of spsnding budget would be a waste of investment because most of students would not participate in sports activity, even though it is obligatory. 2- being mandatory, the program would not have made students intrested to be more active and participate in sport for a long period. To be more specific, at high school a clasa of sport is in fact obligatory. However, none of the students have more mental nor physical health and only a few continue sports and for these few people the university should not have invest in such a intensive program.
