This is the first time ever that I actually went back to a learning video just to post a comment! Michael is amazing! And everything he says is true. I took the toefl test back in 2017 and got a 22 on writing (after studying from the Kaplan book). I retook it because my uni wanted a 24 or higher on writing and I honestly didn’t have time to study like I did before because of both work and exams, so I watched all his videos. I can honestly say that taking the toefl test after watching these videos and learning the templates was waaaaayyy easier than studying for it. I felt very confident, and it was so simple once you have a solid template in your head prior to taking the test. Thank you Michael , you just saved me $5,000 and a semester of advanced English writing that the uni was forcing me to take if I didn’t get a 24. (Also, it’s a shame that your videos aren’t the first to show when searching for toefl tips) TL:DR: I got 27 on writing using Micheal’s template.

Shoutout to Michael for making TOEFL preparation straightforward. I watched all your videos and particularly followed your essay samples. I highly recommend using the template to organize and fill in the ideas for the writing task. Got my scores today 104 - R25, L27, S24, W28. Once again thank you for making these videos.

I just found this channel a week prior to my TOEFL Test and I have to say that I absolutely love it!!

Thank you for your templates, i scored 26 in speaking and 27 in writing. Keep up the good work! :)

Agree 100%. Spot on!

Again I am amazed by the way of explaining . Although TOEFL is stopped due the pandemic you provide us with tricks to conquer the TOEFL. much more love and respect

Thank you so much for these resources! I took TOEFL at home a week ago, and only had one night to prepare so I memorized the structure from your speaking and writing videos. I got my score today, I got 30 on speaking and 29 on writing! And I was sure I failed at speaking because I got confused by questions, started answering too late with some and finished too early with others, but it seems that it didn't matter at all. I just wish I gave myself enough time too proof-read the essays like you advise, so I hope everyone else remembers to do so. Couldn't have done it without your videos.

I have just got my TOEFL results, and I came here to thank you, Michael. I had to score 100 and I was able to do it with your help. Your writing tutorials were amazing, and they really helped me for achieving my goal. I recommend everyone to use the templates, they give you a really good structure and are extremely helpful for organizing your time during the exam. My final results: 109. R:30, L:27, S:24, W:28. Thanks Michael!!

Thank you so much for the grat job, you are helping many people for their TOEFL preparation. May allah reward you and your family a safe and healthy life 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you very much Michael. I scored 86 (R28/L21/S16/W21). I had little time (less than 2 weeks) to prepare. I memorized your templates and used them. My speaking is horrible, but templates certainly helped. Again thank you!!!

I took the TOEFL at home last week and just got my results back. I studied using only your videos, didn't even buy any book and still got a score of 111! Thank you so much, in the span of two weeks I managed to learn everything I needed to know for the test all thanks to you and your videos.

Hi Michael! I just wanted to come here and say that I deeply appreciate what you've done in these videos to help people prepare for the independent writing. Your straightforward templates really helped me to increase my score to 26 in the writing section. So, just thanks a lot!

we missed u so much, thanks a lots

These videos really help me a lot. During the time preparing TOEFL, I was always wondering if 5 paragraphs are better than 4 paragraphs in the independent writing section. Turns out that 4-paragraphs is fine! and the important point is giving examples of your thoughts. (The first time I take TOEFL I got 23 in writing because I only wrote narrative sentences) I got 109 recently on my test (R27 L28 S27 R27). Thank you Michael for all the detailed explanations and templates, this is the best channel and resource for TOEFL preparation!!!

Your work is ...great... Man

Today I got my final results back, 105! (R26, L25, S29, W25) I only had 6 days to prepare and I was honestly freaking out because I once again did not start studying early enough and read all those toefl advices on the ETS page telling me to at least start preparing 8 weeks in advance. However I found you here on yt and you were so to speak my only practice and advice I got. So a big big thank you to you Michael, now I might be able to study medicine at my dream Uni :) Ralf

My test is tomorrow, April 18... all of your vids are of a great assistance. Thank you and wish me luck

Thanks for this info!

Recently I had my TOEFL exam and your templates were very helpful in the Writing Section. Thanks very much. My score was very close as I expected in the Writing Section.

Thanks Micheal .your lectures helped me a lot. I got a score way above the ones I needed. 😆shout out to you and Josh Mcpherson. combined the knowledge you guys gave me .

unique representation of ideation in toefl.

Thanx a lot, Michael.

Just found out your videos.. thanks a lot for sharing such a valuable lessons.. GB!!

I just got my results and immediately logged in to THANK YOU! I got 108! Which is exactly what I needed. Thank you for your advices and insights.

Than you Michael, your videos are helpful.

Thanks you very much, I'm very thankful

Thank you.

This video is particularly useful as it provides a detailed explanation of the sample as well as the place we should pay attention to. Thank you!

Hey, thank you for providing such good tips. I scored 28 in writing with your templates both for integrated and independent part. I am really thankful. I will recommend you to everyone who needs help with the exam. Keep on helping students! Best wishes. 😊

Michael! You are an angel!!! Your templates are brilliant! I have just got my scores: 106! R25, L30, S26 and W25. I don't know how! It was my first attempt and I had just 2 weeks to prepare. This wouldn't be possible without you. You are the best teacher and psychologist I have ever known :) Thank you so much for doing such a great job and helping so many people.

Thank you

Hey Micheal I came back here to thank you for all your videos! They definitely helped me so much, especially for the speaking and writing part! USE THE TEMPLATES! I needed an 88 and I got an 105! R28, L23 (don't know what happened there ups), S27, W27. I thought I completely blew the speaking part, so I am beyond happy with the result. Your videos prepared me so well, I cannot stress how well these videos train you! Thank you so much. P.S.: In the second speaking question I got a woman who had mixed opinions about the change on campus, she agreed to the first agrument, but didn't like the second!

Very helpful 👍🏻want to see more

Thank you so much for this video. If you share some new techniques about integrated essay, I will be glad ! :)

Michael thank you so so much for your extremely helpful videos. I just got my score today, I got 115! R28 L30 S30 W27

Thank you for these videos~!! I see your templates have several passive voice sentences, but is it okay to use passive voice sentences in the writings?

Thank you so much for such incredible video. And can you make a video about an integrated essay.🌹

Thanks to your great and amazing video, I have trouble with personal examples, is it ok to have just one personal example and expand the explanation part of the body paragraphs?

Hi Micheal, is the free space at the beginning of each paragraph mandatory (all four paragraphs)? Should we use the tab button for it? Thanks for your perfect videos.

Hello, Michael I have got an important question. In the questions like, "Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics" if I disagree, can I actually talk in the first paragraph about science, and then talk about math in the second, to support my opinion? Or should I not separate the two? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the great video. But, is it OK to use personal examples in both body paragraphs?

I have trouble with remembering synonyms and vocabulary while writing the essay, I usually end up writing the same words. What can I do to solve this, do you have any reccomendations?

so i was able to meet the client not the clients, right? because you mentioned he or she is one of our company's new clients before.

Thank you so much for the video, yet I have a question. Do you think 3rd reason would be necessary ? Will it increase my score?

Hi Mike! I have a question to make. Is it necessary to give a title to the essay? Is there even the space to do thant? Thank you!

Firstly, when I started practicing TOELF, I found the writing part very confusing. I came up with questions like how to start ? with what words to start? . However, after finding your templates for writing, it is now much easy for me to do the writing practice. Michael thanks for your supportive materials and lectures. Surely using them and Zaban.exam will help me to get my ideal score. Thanks .

Hey I'm taking my Toefl in 2 weeks but not sure if you're supposed to write the essay in "on the other hand" type of form when the question is about "this or that?" Like, let's say the question is "What do you think is more suited for people to have as their pet, a dog or cat?" then should I go like "Dog is more friendly. On the other hand, cat is not as friendly as dog."?? Is the comparison between dog and cat even necessary?

Hi MichaeI am still preparing for my TOEFL ibt @home test. However, I have already finished the three official books. Now, I am sort of confused where I should be looking for extra practice tests. What would you suggest? P.S. I have been thinking about Magoosh prep but also thought that the $45 (volume 30) practice test offered by ETS online would be more authentic, however, a bit expensive compared to magoosh prep which offers more material.

Hi can you please help me in the reading section When answering a question, should I read the related paragraph first? or read the answers first?

Just a quick question, doesn’t using “ I “ puts a negative effect on toefl writing? Even in the reference section, Ive heard that it is important to avoid “I”

I have a question. Do i need another paragraph that talks about other two choices?

Hi, would you please tell me how they weight integrated and independent in writing task? I mean they both worth the same, or the independent has higher importance in total score?

do we need to indent the paragraphs? and if we are supposed to do so, how many times we need to tab on space bar?5 or 6?

Thank you very much Michael for the great explanation!!!! I have a question. Is 370 words-essay enough for getting a score of 26 or more in Independent essay? If not what is the minimum? Thanks in advance!!!

👍👍👍

Is it in anyway beneficial to present the opposing point of view anywhere in the essay. For instance, if we're arguing that having a supportive neighbor is a good thing. Should not having one be mentioned anywhere in the essay?

PL. could you tell me if this kind of question is possible in an independent essay? If you could meet any famous person, living or dead, who would you choose to meet? What would you tell him/her? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. you are the best TOEFL Whitting teach ... THX for your effort!

Hello, it is a really helpful video, thanks for this. I am not sure about the number of body paragraphs, as I know using 3 body paragraphs is really recommended. Can we take 26+ by using just 2 body paragraphs?

Please teacher, could you tell me what is the average TOEFL score that is accepted for most universities?

Hi Michel, i hope you are well! I have a question could you please answer it if you have time Should we add quotes and proverbs in our independent essay in order to get high score or we can still get 26+ without using them?

How many paragraphs needed for toefl essay? (By this i mean minimum paragraph)

Is possible for me to get 20 on the reading section just using videos of TOEFL reading section practice on KZfaq ?

Is it okay to lie about personal examples? Or are there any penalties if someone finds out I‘m only 18 and probably haven‘t raised two children yet etc. thanks!

Hi Michael, Before anything else, thank you very much for your videos. It was very educational and direct to the point, and I totally love it. In preparation for my exam this September, I would like to ask about your recommended word count for the independent essays (380-400 words). In all honestly, I’m having problems on how to lengthen my paragraphs. Given my profession, I’m more versed in writing technical reports, which demands me to write in the most concise manner possible. Hence, I barely reach your recommended word count. I hope you could provide some insights on how I could address this matter. Thank you in advance and always stay safe!

No need for a title in both types of writing. right?

I'm preparing for IELTS exam and I have difficulty with writing an essay, I found your videos about toefel is amazing do you have the same channel for IELTS. I hope to hear from you

When the toefl practice test shows you have scored 30points, what's the highest point ?

I wrote . before the term "because" For example i was really upet by him. Because blabla And at the end of the passage i wrote / Except writing . for one time because i didn't have enough time and although i wrote more than 370 words i failed to write conclusion perfectly i just rewrote my general opinon and one more sentence to support. For instance : As a result in my opinon blablabla because it is easy And i didn't have enough time to revise it and didn rechecked the entire passages so there will be few typos but, i did well on providing opinons and examples alomost same as the video How much score will i get ??? I have to get 83 to get in the KATUSA which is American army that is in Korea and i scored 26/30 from listening and 24/30 from reading and i think except one integrated question i didn't do well on speaking

Nice video! What about a fewer number of words? let's say 320 or 340 words. I am struggling to write that number in 30 minutes, not to say 400 or 420 words.

Hello Michael. I watched all your videos and I’ve done everything that you said on them for the Speaking and Writing sections. However, I scored 21 in both. After I asked a review for these results, I got 25 in Speaking but the Writing section remained in 21. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong since I used your structures to every question. Plus, I was much more confident in the writing section because I could extract all the information to build the structure for the integrated writing question. Anyway, I can’t do my application to the university by just one point in writing... I guess it’s just bad luck. Just wanted you to know that you’re a good professional but your methods didn’t work out for me. Thanks

How much can i score when i write exactly same as that template??

“In twenty years, there will be fewer cars in use than there are today.” Do you agree or disagree? 445 words Transportation is a necessary asset of the people. Life without having appropriate means of transportation is atrocious. As the generation advances, new means to travel to different places will take place. In my eye, the statement that “in near future, there will be fewer cars than there are today” does not ring true to me. I believe that there are two reasons for it, which I am going to explore in the following essay. A lot of articles and research says that there will not be sufficient fuel available in the next 10 to 20 years. Fuels such as petrol, diesel are the important fuel gases as most of the cars need them for operation. Moreover, research says there will be much less ignition fuel available for cars as most of the fuel is already being extracted and only a little of it is available. However, as the world is advancing, new technology helps to cope up with the problems. For example, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla company, produces electric cars that run efficiently and have a lot of features compared to other cars available. Likewise, looking at the success of Tesla, most of the other car manufacturing companies have also started to gear up the more production of electric cars and to focus on this sector as much as they can to compete and to be steady in the market for elongated run time. This transition will lead us to have a variety of new cars in near future. The world is advancing at a rapid speed. Human is capable to do anything if he deliberately wants to change the law of science and nature for the betterment of society. Projects such as flying cars are already at a definite level in most of the scientific research organization. Whereas, a lot of new car designs are being proposed which comprise building a car model from a two-wheel motorbike. For instance, I had an internship in the Toyota automobile new generation company. Here, my colleagues and I were assigned to work on a prototype model in which we had to design a car from a two-wheeler. This prototype will be effective for so many middle-class people in my country who cannot afford a car. This car is a model that accumulates the feature of a motorcar and a motorbike together, which makes it unique; because of less cost compared to cars that are available in the market. To sum up, I firmly believe that, due to technology up-gradation in the future, more innovative and low-cost efficient cars will be available. Therefore, there will be more cars in the next twenty years than they are today.

Hello! Thanks for this amazing content. I have been using your resources to get ready for my TOEFL exam. I have to say that your resources are amazing, they are simple and useful. On the other hand, I have an important question for you, which has become a big problem for me. I am having trouble in finding specific examples, even if I tried so many times to write an essay in 30 minutes with a timer, I am finding myself in a serious time-management problem, what do you prefer to me? One more thing, in this video you are telling that approximately 300 words out of 400 should be our aim to write a well-organized essay, and my avarage is about 220 unique words for 400. However, I have checked a couple of your sample essays, and found that your unique words are mostly around 220-240. Don't get me wrong, I just need an advice to understand a good unique word interval for independent writing section. Thanks a lot, if you manage to answer these questions! Keep your awesome content, you are helping to other people greatly!

"fancy Shit" ahhahahahahaha
