TOEFL Practice, Section 4: Writing This section is now a standard part of the TOEFL iBT. Previously, a writing test was administered as a separate test (TWE) from the paper and computer based TOEFL. The iBT writing section is divided into two parts: Integrated Writing and Independent Writing. Integrated Writing Writing Based on Reading and Listening Here you will read a passage about an academic topic.

EnglishAnyone Download your first lesson set at If you can't speak English fluently, keep reading to understand why, and discover the simple secret to finally expressing yourself clearly, confidently and automatically.

They need to think about grammar rules, and make mistakes when speaking. They forget new vocabulary, and have trouble finding the right words to say in conversations.
