After the reform of the TOEFL test, the difficulty of the exam has increased significantly, leaving many new TOEFL candidates feeling less confident when preparing for and taking the exam, especially in terms of essay writing. Sometimes, they may even feel at a loss where to start. Many candidates get a headache just by looking at the pool of 185 questions: how can one possibly prepare for so many questions? In fact, the independent essay section of the TOEFL writing test is actually quite simple. The 185 questions provided by the new TOEFL test reveal the intention of ETS, which is to encourage candidates to practice more. Among the questions provided in the question bank, there are many similar questions and categories. Carefully read through the questions, categorize them based on their topics, then select ten to thirty questions for practice. With this approach, achieving a high score in writing will not be a problem.
