托福写作共 50mins，满分30分。主要分为两个部分：1. 独立写作（15分，30mins完成）：写一篇命题作文 2. 综合写作（15分，20mins 完成）
第一部分是综合写作，以阅读和听力材料为基础的写作试题，写作时间为 20分钟。考生首先需要阅读一篇学术篇章，阅读的时间是3分钟。然后文章隐去，考生需要听一段大约为2分钟左右的与阅读主题相关的演讲。
考生需要针对阅读和演讲中的观点作文，总结并说明演讲的内容与阅读中观点的关系，在 20分钟的时间内完成一篇150~225字的文章。
第二部分是独立写作，需要考生根据自己的知识和经验陈述、解释并支持对待某一问题的某个看法，考查综合语言技能的作文题目的评分以回答的质量、完整性和准确性为依据。在 30分钟内完成一篇300字以上的文章。
对于托福写作，很多考生抱怨说难以提升，为大家分享写作中的相关细节，希望能够帮助大家攻克托福写作，在考试中取得好成绩 !
1. 以积极正面的语言表达观点
Express yourself in positive language. Say what is, not what is not.
2. 段落之间使用过渡词
Use transitions between paragraphs.Transitions tie one paragraph to the next.
(1)A transition can be a wor, like later, furthermore, aitionally, or moreover; a phrase like After this incient…; or an entire sentence.
(2)If you are writing about Topic A an now want to iscuss Topic B, you can begin the new paragraph with a transition such as &lquo;Like (or unlike) Topic A, Topic B…&rquo;
3. 变幻多种句式结构
Vary your sentence structure.It’s boring to see subject, verb, object all the time. Mix simple, complex, an compoun sentences.
4. 用词直接易懂
Unerstan the wors you write.You write to communicate, not to impress the amissions staff with your vocabulary. When you choose a wor that means something other than what you inten, you neither communicate nor impress. You o convey the wrong message or convince the amissions committee that you are inarticulate.
5. 学会运用同义词
Look up synonyms in a thesaurus when you use the same wor repeately. After the DELETE key, the thesaurus is your best frien. As long as you follow Tip 4, using one will make your writing more interesting.
6. 表达简洁明了
Be succinct. Compare:
(1) During my sophomore an junior years, there was significant evelopment of my maturity an markely improve self-iscipline towars school work.
(2) During my sophomore an junior years, I mature an my self-iscipline improve tremenously.
The first example takes many more wors to give the same information. The amissions people are swampe; they o not want to spen more time than necessary reaing your essay. Say what you have to say in as few wors as possible. Tips 7, 8, an 9 will help you to implement this suggestion.
7. 避免重复
Make every wor count. Do not repeat yourself. Each sentence an every wor shoul state something new.
8. 去掉不必要的限定词，如，rather, quite, somewhat, probably, possibly, etc.
Avoi qualifiers such as rather, quite, somewhat, probably, possibly, etc.You might improve your writing somewhat if you sometimes try to follow this suggestion. The example contains nonsense. Deleting unnecessary qualifiers will strengthen your writing 1000%. Equivocating reveals a lack of confience. If you o not believe what you write, why shoul the amissions officer?
9. 使用主动语态
Use the active voice. Compare:
Active voice ：The application was sent by the stuent.
Passive voice ：The stuent sent the application.
They both communicate the same information. The active voice, however, is more concise; it specifies who is performing the action an what is the object. The passive voice is worier an frequently less clear.
