TRANSCRIPT
Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today's lesson is for those of you who will be taking the TOEFL test. And, as usual, when I do a lesson about the English tests, I will speak at a more natural pace, a little bit faster than usual. If you're a beginner, don't worry, you can still listen and still practice your listening skills, and get some vocabulary from the lesson. But it will be a little bit faster, perhaps a little bit more difficult. Let's begin.
So, we're looking at the TOEFL task 1, the writing section. This is the integrated task. I'll put it this way. Now, what does that mean by "integrated"? It means they're giving you... Giving you a reading section, they're giving you a listening section, and they're wanting you to write. So you're practicing three skills in one task. Okay? Not easy, but not that difficult if you practice it. So I'm going to give you four tips on how to approach this section of the test.
Now, for those of you who have done the practice test, or have taken an actual TOEFL test, or are preparing for one, you know that what will happen is you will be given a reading section-okay?-you will be given three minutes to read it and prepare whatever notes you need, then... This will be on the computer screen. Then it will disappear, then you will hear a lecture that is related somehow to what you read. That will go on for about a minute or two, and then it will stop. Then, you will be given the question. Basically, the question is going to tell you how to relate the listening to the reading. Okay? It is crucial that you take notes, both for the reading and the listening. You can't try to keep all of this in your head. It will not help you when you... When you have to start writing. You will have 20 minutes to write. You should aim for about 200 words, let's say. That should be enough to convey all of the information that they're asking. What you have to remember is right away, they're...
You're going to have to do one of two things. You're either going to have to counter. You have to show how the listening, the lecture counters or goes against what was written in the passage, or how the listening supports what was written in the passage. Okay? It's going to be one of those two things. So, as soon as the listening starts, you have to understand right away: Are you going to be countering? Are you going to be supporting? You don't need to wait for the question. It should be very obvious to you, as soon as the lecturer starts to give the lecture: What is he doing, or what is she doing? Is she going against the reading, or is she giving support to the reading? Or is she giving information that draws on information from here that they work together? So counter or support, identify it right away, and then you know how to set up your notes.
So, here, I showed you a very basic way of taking your notes. Take out with the reading first, obviously, you're going to have three minutes. Skim the reading. What does that mean? It means look through it pretty quickly. Don't read every word; you don't need to. Although the reading disappears from the screen, it does come back. When the listening is finished and they give you your question and the timer starts, the reading comes back. If you need to go back and get some more information, you can do that. It's there. So, of course, that means you have to concentrate very hard on the listening. You only hear it once, it doesn't come back. If you didn't get any information, you're out of luck.
So, set up your notes like this. Put your reading here. Make sure you get your first point with the example, your second point with the example, your third point with the example. Okay? Once this is set up, the listening becomes easier, because now you're just going to be matching points. So this point, what was said for that point? What was said for this point is going to be said here. What was said for this point is going to be said here. Usually, there will be no more than three. Sometimes it'll just be two. Rarely will you have four, but usually three is the right number. So, look for three points here with their examples, look for... Listen for the three points here that basically correspond.
OMG I WAS WATCHING HIS VIDEOS 5 YEARS AGO AND NOW I WILL HAVE ANOTHER TOEFL TEST AND I FOUND HIM AGAIN I AM SO HAPPY. FROM ZERO, I STARTED TO WATCH HIM AND GOT 28 OUT OF 30. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH
Hello, just wanted to thank you for all your help! I ended up getting a score of 115 and a 30/30 in writing! Thanks a ton! Keep up the good work :)
nice
That's Wonderful! Would you like to share your experience?
awesome, congrats!!!
Malavika Kamath .. amazing 👍🏻 it’s our turn to get the full mark now 💪🏻
Malavika Kamath amazing
Hey Adam, just discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago. They were super helpful for my TOEFL preparation. I scored 118 and only dropped 2 points in the listening section. Thank you very much and keep up the good work. For anyone currently preparing for the test... you got this!!
Wow, it is an incredible score, can u please help me with one concern, there in the official ETS they say that for integrated writing the count of words must be between 150-225, does this mean that the maximum length must be 225? And what was your both writing tasks' length?
Wow congrats u got it!
Could u please tell me how did you prepared for the toefl test?
Websites,books,yt channels recommendations if u don’t mind

That is unbelievable. Congrats
Thank you for the wonderful service you are rendering. I gave my TOEFL recently and i scored 112( R-29, L-30, W-26, S-27)
Your videos have been very useful in my preparation.
Thanks.
Wow im preparing my TOEFL exam and you just popped up in RUclips you literally convinced me to see all your videos cause you really give good tips explaining them in a really easy way
Omg me tooo
im so excited to start preparing 😀😀😀
The passage states that.... The lecturer counters/supports this by saying...
point 1 & ex.1
point 2 & ex.2
point 3 & ex.3
_________________
take note!(both reading and listening)
The moment the listening begins, you've gotta find whether the lecturer counters or supports the ideas given in the passage.
3 mins or so VS 1or 2 mins
3ex is normal. usually 2 e.x. rarely 4 ex.

Thx for the putting the moral here Alex
I can screen shot this and come back to it whenever I forget the video
你好 谢谢 不客气
Adam you are an incredible teacher. I can't thank you enough for the help you provide all your viewers. I took the examen on may 4th and got 24 points on writing thanks to you!
Indeed, you explain this lesson well. The template you share with your students will help them to create a coherently organized response to the integrated writing task by encouraging them to combine the most important points in the reading with the most important points in the listening. This week at California State University, San Bernardino I will give my TOEFL prep students an integrated writing practice test, so I will have them watch this video before they complete this assignment. Thanks again for sharing.
If it goes for this video, it would go like this
The lecturer insists that writing in Toefl should be based on the summary of lecture and followed by the appropriate structure of the passage.
First, it's important to take a note of information to summarize the claim of the author.This gives the accurate way of distinguishing if the author supports or counters. Also, it provides the bottom line of lecture and the details as well.
Furthermore, the improper pronoun should be avoided because it's written to convey the claim of lecture, not to make a conclusion or express an opinion.For example, 'my, 'me', and' I'' can be the ones, which are not suitable to be used.
Lastly, writing the passage in accordance with the logical structure of the passage is pivotal. This makes it easier to understand the intention of the author and grasp the overall writing. For instances, it should contain the introduction,which summarizes the writing in short , and bodies to support the idea.
Hi Could anyone help me for my rescoring process I applied for both writing and speaking rescoring but I dont know how I can reach the score how can I learn my process positive or negative I check my account but still same score and also TOEFL do not send any mail for change 19 days later I hope to someone to help me please.
Hi Adam! It's been an honor watching your video since I began watching your videos.This is because you simply bring about transformation in terms of knowledge to the aspirants.
Thanks & regards.
Adam, sir) I'm sorry I don't know your full name) I'm student from Kazakhstan. And I achieved good score in IELTS thanks for your web-lessons. now I'm cookin for the TOEFL test. And your lessons help me to prepare for the exam as good as they did with IELTS. I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR HELPING STUDENTS SUCH ME!) you are best web-teacher I have ever know!)
Thanks for the video!
I'm taking the test tomorrow and wanted some last minute advices, it helps me a lot and gave me some key word to use. Especially for the way I start my writing !
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for your channel, which has been instrumental in aiding my English skills for the TOEFL test. However, I feel compelled to share my recent experience with the home edition. I took the test yesterday, and it was by far the most challenging experience I've encountered. I strongly advise my friends and fellow test-takers: if there's a test center available in your city, opt for that and avoid the home edition. My test stretched over 5 hours without any break, plagued by numerous technical glitches. Getting assistance from proctors or technicians took several minutes each time, and at one point, a transition from a proctor to a technician took an excruciating 30 minutes. The check-in process itself was troublesome; I waited for 30 minutes initially, and only after directly contacting support did my test start, delayed by a full hour. It was a disheartening and frustrating experience that I wouldn't wish upon anyone.
Hi, can you help me?
Hi, Adam! I took TOEFL today and I used all the tips you gave in the video. It help A LOT! I cannot be more thankful for your priceless pieces of advice you give for us, your subscribers. I kept in my mind to plan my essay before writing, I also made sure that I used "In my opinion". "The first/second reason", "Moreover", etc. I felt confident writing my essays because I knew how to operate and deal with those. Thank you very much! I appreciative it!
I have to create an Adam club fan! I mean it! He is the best :) Thanks Adam!! :)
you're right! Clear in speech and his tips are clear and useful!
Yes, He's really good ! The brazilians peoples respect you so much Adam ! Thanks !!
Ana Elisa Alves Corrêa Igel hi
absolutely! he's the best english teacher especially for the exam takers :) so grateful for him❤
U don't wanna mean fan club ?
Thank you. This video helped me a lot. I've got 101 (R 29 L 28 S 22 W 22)
Was it hard ,,?
@@sf7620 this was 4 years ago, major changes have been applied
Thanks for your lecture I took 19/30 on the writing section. All because of your help
I received my score today and I got 102. Your videos were very helpful, thank you very much.
+pascual diaz Congratulations on your most excellent score! What did you score on the writing section?
The 7-Step System to Pass the TOEFL iBT I scored 27 on the listening part, 24 on the writing, 28 on speaking and 23 on writing. I couldn't practice writing at all, not even once, because I didn't have any time left. I think if I had practiced I would've scored better. I did well on the independent task but I did 'fair'on the integrated task. I didn't handle time well.
+pascual diaz Nevertheless, you scored very high, and you absolutely nailed the speaking section of the exam.
Pascual Miguel Díaz Ferrer congratulations
Oyes compa.... Felicidades. Me gustaría que me ayudarás con unos tips ... Te lo agradecería
This is an awesome video. I'm going to direct my students here. They're always trying to get higher scores. I've made some listening practice videos for them. I'm trying to improve their general knowledge at the same time as improve their English. They can use that knowledge in all four sections. The more you know, the easier it is to guess in the listening and reading, and the easier it is to speak and write. You can never have enough general knowledge.
Thank you Mr. Adam. I had no idea about how to write writing task 1 in the TOEFL test before I watched your video. Now I know how to do this. Several months ago I took the IELTS test and I was quite confused between the TOEFL and IELTS test structure and doing strategies. I'm going to prepare my TOEFL test by watching your videos on the youtube channel because I need to be ready for the test in 10 days.
I am a very new ESL teacher and I find your tips helpful for my students, thank you.
Thank you, my student needs to understand how to write his TOEFL and this video clarified it.
Thank you very much! Helped out a lot! I am gonna take TOEFL tomorrow :") Wish me luck ^^
@Zokky Zokky how was your exam? Did this strategy work for you?
+sayedahmadnaweed1 I just finished and yeah it did help I wrote down a reminder of every strategy mentioned in here and I finished just on time, did everything and I think I did it quite well
Thank you for the instant answer. I hope you get the targeted score. I wish I could ask you more questions, but anyhow good luck for you. thanks
What score did you get
Margarita Babovnikova I got 92 scores but I am not quite satisfied with my score so I will be taking toefl again a bit later

Hi, can u please help me with one concern, there in the official ETS they say that for integrated writing the count of words must be between 150-225, does this mean that the maximum length must be 225? And what was your both writing tasks' length?
@@user-uv1jx8io8y it's been a while since I took the exam but I think it was indeed no longer than 225 words. Good luck!
@@ezgioral2945 oh, really? So this amount of words enough for getting perfect score?
@@user-uv1jx8io8yhi, I have a question please, how would I know during the writing task the count of words that I have written ?? Like is there any counter showing on the screen?
Hello Sir....You're the best!!! I got 108/120 with 29 in writing and all I did was watch this video one day before my exam!! Thank You very Much :D !!
Thank you theacher. It was a great representation.TOEFL is a very difficult game for beginner as I. I think I stay now better in my original Country. I have never learned English in the school. I think I take my time. My be I will change my opinion in the future. But now it's no real to make this adventure. My knowledge in my speciality is heigh and I have a long practice and experience , but the influence of the French language captures me to stay where I m now. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this Adam. Your videos helped. I took the exams for the first time on the 8th of Jan and obtained a score of104 (reading 27, listening 27, speaking 23 and writing 27) with just your videos as means of preparation days to exam.

Learn English With Adam.
Thanks, teacher.
Would it be wrong to have a conclusion anyway? I saw another teacher advising it. She also said that the listening ALWAYS counters the reading... Now I'm not sure x) This was the structure she gave:
To sum up, this is how the listening passage causes doubts on the point made in the reading passage.
Thank you Adam!!!
Hi, i just wanna say thanks for you mr. I have more knowledge about TOEFL writing right now :)
I am going to prepare my next class according to this video, thanks Adam, you are fantastic.
Actually i don't want to test the Toefl but i have to do. So it will be help when i test Toefl.Thank you '

Hi Adam. Thank you for your valuable tips and advices! One question for you: you suggest to focus on the listening, and give the reading passage one sentence per paragraph.
