The TOEFL Reading Section test is much easier than you may think, and you can earn a score over 25 just by knowing the rules of the test. Read less, understand more, earn a higher score!!
In the Listening section test, all you have to do is know how to take notes, and then use your notes and your short term memory to eliminate wrong choices based on the rules of the test.
Even if your English is Intermediate, you can earn a score of 27 or higher on the TOEFL Speaking Section test when you know how to take notes and use the structure required by the TOEFL graders.
The TOEFL Writing section is just as easy when you know what the graders expect of you.
I teach you everything you need to know to score over 100 on your TOEFL iBT. Just click the link below to get started.

Very helpful to me, all videos.
I learned many things from these wonderful videos about all sections of the TOEFL.
Hi Rameen. I'm glad these videos are helpful to you. If you would like to see videos for all TOEFL questions, please go to my website and join our TOEFL course at www.pgila.org
Thank you for the simplification and encouragement. I hope you will be uploading more videos in the future. I've already bought your book regarding the reading section and together with your videos they are such a life saver...
You are welcome, my friend, and thank you for purchasing my book. Please share these videos with as many people as you can. Thanks!!
Dear Mr. Hearn,
I hope this message finds you well.
Thanks for your consistent support and response.
Usually I write independent TOEFL essays in the traditional way. Is it a good way and does ETS like it?
For the integrated writing section, first I explain the points from the lecture and then the points from the reading passage. While some people first include points from the reading and then from the lecture?
What do you think? Which one is the best way?
Thanks for your support,
Rameen,
My friend, thank you for your comments and question. Keep in mind that most tutors teach either what they "think" you should do or what they were taught to teach without understanding the test, but I have spent every day of the past 15 years studying the TOEFL and teaching exactly what ETS requires of you to pass the TOEFL. Regarding the Integrated task in the Writing section, many tutors teach different methods that they think are the "right way," and students can get confused with which is the "correct" way to respond. HOWEVER, ETS has a very specific structure of responding that the graders are looking for when scoring your essays. The way I explain in the videos in my online TOEFL Video course is EXACTLY the structure that ETS requires of you for a high score. Stop wasting time and learn ETS's methods of passing your TOEFL so you can move on with living your successful life. You can see the Integrated Writing section video and videos for answering every question on the TOEFL iBT by clicking this link www.pgila.org and subscribing to my course. I look forward to seeing you there.
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor Thank you very much for detailed explanation. I will do my best to subscribe.
i have learned something new today. Thanks Sir. May God protect you and give you more strength.
Nevertheless sir, the reading part for the integrated task
is no more shown once it appears for 3 minutes.
Glad I could help. I will check into the reading part being shown again. I know that you used to have to click on a button to show it. I will find out if that is still the case or you simply don't have access anymore. Thank you for the info. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.
I have two questions in task 2.
1. In the introduction, do I have to paraphrase the question before stating my thesis?
2. In introduction, do I have to introduce the three reasons to support my thesis in different sentences or can I present the three reasons in one sentence linked with conjunctions?
Hi Francis. Both good questions. For question 1, you must address and answer the question without repeating it verbatim. There are several ways to do that. Paraphrasing is one of them. For Question 2, you must have an introduction paragraph, a separate paragraph for each reason, and a conclusion paragraph that restates your reasons and your thesis. For more detailed videos on how ETS requires you to respond, please join my online TOEFL video course at www.pgila.org You will find separate videos for each of the questions on the test (all different from the ones you find on TH-cam), and you can also join our TOEFL Community where you can ask me any TOEFL questions. I hope to see you there.
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor
Thanks for your great reply. Your response is helpful.
However, in my question 2, I think I did not present the question in the right way.
According to your video, you stated that in step 2 of introduction, I can introduce the three reasons to support the thesis without giving elaborate details and examples.
So, my question is...As part of the introduction, do I have to state each of the reasons in a separate sentence?
@@francisasogwa3859 Hi Francis. Thank you for clarifying your question. For your introduction, you do NOT have to state all of your reasons. You can simply answer the question and then state that you will discuss the reasons in your essay. The main thing is to follow the RUBRIC and be sure you clearly state your position in the introduction paragraph.
Hello William! I gave my TOEFL exam today. I managed to score 45 in the reading and listening section! My result is yet to come but I will update when it's out. Last time, I scored 29 in the speaking section and 21 in the writing section. I hope I would get better this time particularly in the writing section. For my writing and reading, I used your strategies and they worked out pretty well for me. Most importantly, I was rather calm during the exam, just fumbled a little in the speaking section, however fingers crossed! I hope it would be my last time writing this exam, it has mentally exhausted me.
Hi Priyanka. Thank you for the great news, and I have faith that you will do well on the rest of the test! Please let me know when you get your Speaking and Writing scores, and tell me what's next? If you don't mind saying, why are you taking your TOEFL?
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor Thanks for your words! Actually I just need 95 to get the C1 level proficiency in order to apply for an English teaching internship in Europe. I could have gone with IELTS, but because I was familiar with the TOEFL format, I thought of sticking to it. I hope I clear it this time so I can continue with my application process. I'll let you know my overall score when my result is out!
@@PriyankaChauhan-nd8si That's AWESOME! I hope you make it!!!
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor William, I'm so elated and relieved right now. I scored 30 in the spoken section and 24 in the writing section. An overall score of 99. I can't thank you enough! Your channel has helped me so much ❤❤❤
@@PriyankaChauhan-nd8si WOW!!! Congratulations!! That is great news Priyanka! Thank you so much for telling me of your success. This is what my videos are all about, helping you to regain your confidence and get past the TOEFL and on with your life. I am praying for your continued success.

Hello, Mr. Hearn !
Could you make more videos related to the writing secrion ?Thanks in advance
Hi Melika. Thank you for your request. You can find more videos to the Writing section and to all the TOEFL questions on my Video TOEFL Course at www.pgila.org The videos in the course are all new and different from the TH-cam videos. The videos in the online course go into more detail to assure you a respectable passing TOEFL score.
Thanks, we need an example of both types. Also, do not we need to write a hook in the introduction?
Writing an essay for the TOEFL Writing section is not like writing in regular school. For the TOEFL, follow the RUBRIC!! The intro must answer the question. There are examples of each essay in my book, and you can find examples of each essay and how they score online.
Complete guide thanks
Is it required to give 3 examples in Q 2? Or 2 examples are enough?
Hi Venu, Good question. Although not required to give 3 examples, be sure that, if you are giving only 2 examples, that you meet the minimum 300 word count. Also, be sure that you are answering the question completely with reasons, examples, and details. You should also be conscious of the RUBRIC while answering. I find it extremely beneficial to write an outline before writing the essay. For more detailed instruction for earning a high score on the TOEFL Writing section, please purchase my book from Amazon.com. The link is in the description. Thank you!!
Excellent video, thank you so muchh!!!
Thank you, my friend! Please let me know how you score on your next TOEFL test.
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor, I haven't done it yet, but I will definitely do it !!! I have a little question... will I have the passage next to the question? in the reading and writing section
@@thaisramirez4229 Great question. In the Reading section you will definitely have the passage next to the question AND you will see only one question at a time, so that helps reduce confusion and anxiety. For the Writing, you will have access to the reading passage (not the listening part) but you must click on a button to see it.
Remember: Use ONLY genuine ETS TOEFL iBT practice tests!!
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor oh god! that's relieving because I thought I had to memorize everything --- like literally EVERYTHING :') .
@@thaisramirez4229 The Integrated task is the same as question #3 in the Speaking section. It's just testing you on your ability to take notes, and then use those notes to relate hoe the main points in the listening part relate to the reading part. I have a helpful template for taking notes in my book. www.amazon.com/Mastering-NEW-TOEFL-iBT-2020-ebook/dp/B084V98PWT/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=toefl+home+writing&qid=1612916741&sr=8-2
can i use a template on task 1- The integrated writing section?
Hi Rifat! The TOEFL graders are now penalizing test takers for using templates. What is better is to make an outline and "structure" your response according to the RUBRIC. For more info on how to do that, you can find everything you need in my TOEFL Guide. The link is in the description. Good luck and contact me directly at wehearn1999@gmail.com if you would like to have a private lesson.
Thank you so much Sir
good morning, is there any penalty if I would copy phrases from passage in integrated writing? Or I should rephrase everything?
Thank you for your question because it will help many others. To answer your question, NEVER COPY ANY PHRASES FROM EITHER PASSAGE!!!! That is considered plagiarism and it could get your test canceled!
Keep in mind that the TOEFL iBT is not testing your knowledge of English: it is testing how well you know the TOEFL rules and how well you can follow the RUBRIC. The main objective of the Writing Section Integrated Task is to accurately state the main points from the listening passage and whether they support or oppose the related points from the reading passage.
@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor thank you, Maestro!)
what would happen if i do not have enough time to write 200 or 300 words ?
Hi Dave! Good question. If you find yourself running out of time before writing the minimum of 300 words for the Independent Question, you must consider the reason for not having enough time. Is it because you don't know what to say, you can't type fast enough, or that your English skills are not ready yet? For many of my students, not knowing what to say is a common problem. If that is your issue, keep in mind that neither of the ETS graders, 1 human and 1 artificial intelligence program, care what you have to say as long as it follows the RUBRIC. If your issue is that you can't type fast enough, practice on a US QWERTY style keyboard to become more familiar with the location of the keys. If your issue is that your English skills aren't up to par with the test requirements, take an English class, I know . . . NOT what we want to hear but there is no substitute for actually knowing English grammar. Finally, the main way to is to make an outline first. It seems counterintuitive, but the way to go faster in the Writing section is to slow down and make an outline. You have 30 minutes to write. You should be spending 8 - 12 minutes making an outline first. Once your outline is done, if you can type 30 - 35 wpm, it takes just about 10 minutes to write your essay. Hope this answers your question.
I have a question about the integrated task in the writing section, you have mentioned that the preferred length of the essay is from 150-225 words.
Can I just mention the main ideas from both the reading and the listening without any details.
All the details and the explanation of the topic are important?
And of course I won't forget to clarify the relationship between the two passages and to state from which passage I am mentioning the information.
I think by this I can manage my time to finish in the 20 minutes.
Great question, Mary. The details from the LISTENING are crucial to a high score!! Stating the details accurately in the order they appear in the listening section and stating the relationship between the listening and reading is the main objective. You can skimp on details from the reading, but be sure to state the details from the listening. Email me an essay and I will evaluate it for you.

@@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor I was not being rude! It was my costly,dreadful experience with Toefl teachers.
@@ildikomolnar8437 My Friend . . . I apologize. Most of my students come to me after wasting a LOT of money and time on tutors who teach the wrong things, so I can sympathize with your frustration. However, ALL of my students pass their TOEFL iBT by following the procedures and rules I teach. You see, after 16 years of being a TOEFL tutor, I don't teach what other people have taught me, and I don't teach what I think is right. I teach you according to how ETS has designed the test and the rules ETS uses to score your test. When you follow the methods I teach, you will get consistent, passing results in each section. One last thing, my videos are long and I do repeat myself for a reason. Some of my students have excellent English skills, but many of my students are very intelligent professionals whose English skills are intermediate. My style of teaching is such that everyone can learn the procedures and pass their TOEFL iBT. ALL of my students are very important people whom I have great respect, and I have dedicated my life to helping as many as I can to pass this horrible test and get on with their lives. I hope that you take the chance and join us in the online course so you can pass your TOEFL iBT.
