Strategic Mock Writing Test

In this Writing section you will answer 12 questions in three types of tasks. The tasks and what each asks you to do are shown below.

Type of Task	What You Do
Build a Sentence	Arrange words to make a correct sentence.
Write an Email	Write an email using the information provided.
Write for an Academic Discussion	Read an online discussion and add your own response.

Before You Begin

Let's check in. How do you feel?

Please rate your degree of anxiety and distraction.

Anxious

Distracted

Relaxation Training

Unlike the actual TOEFL, this mock TOEFL provides relaxation-concentration music. It is not for entertainment. It is for people who get nervous during timed test-taking. Three types are available in the RELAX bar above: night sounds for quiet concentration, tonal music for relaxation, or percussion for mental blocks. If you would like, choose the one that gives you the mood you want, adjust the volume to a quietly supportive but non-distracting level, click OK, and begin. You can turn it off anytime.

Many people find that if they practice this often, the same relaxed, focused mood returns automatically later, when they take the actual test.

Make an appropriate sentence.

Best used with a wired mouse. Drag a word into a blank; drag it back to the bank to remove it.

Write an Email

You will read some information and use the information to write an email.

You will have 7 minutes to write the email.

You are enrolled in Professor Rivera's introductory chemistry course. Last Wednesday you missed the scheduled lab session because your car broke down on the way to campus. You have since learned that the lab included a graded experiment report that counts toward your final mark.

Write an email to Professor Rivera. In your email:

Explain why you were absent and that you understand you missed a graded lab.
Ask whether you can complete a makeup lab or submit an alternative assignment.
Ask when you can expect a reply so you can plan accordingly.

Write as much as you can and in complete sentences.

Professor Kim

This week we are discussing international education. Here is my question for the board: Do you think universities should require all students to spend at least one semester studying abroad as part of their degree? Why or why not?

Amir

I strongly believe universities should make studying abroad compulsory. Living and studying in another country forces you to adapt to a new culture, improve your language skills, and see your own country from the outside. These are experiences that cannot be replicated in a classroom, and employers increasingly value graduates who have international experience.

Priya

I disagree. Not every student can afford to study abroad, even with scholarships, and requiring it would create an unfair burden on students from lower-income backgrounds. There are plenty of ways to develop intercultural skills without leaving your home country — through exchange programs on campus, language courses, and international volunteer work.
