Exemplo de E-mail Writing no TOEFL

Enunciado

Você é um estudante universitário. A academia do campus começou recentemente a oferecer aulas gratuitas de yoga nas manhãs de dias úteis. Você participou de várias aulas e as considerou benéficas. Escreva um e-mail para um amigo recomendando que ele experimente as aulas de yoga. Explique por que você as achou úteis e incentive seu amigo a se inscrever.

Resposta modelo

Oi, Alex,

Queria te contar sobre as aulas gratuitas de yoga que a academia do campus começou a oferecer — acho que você vai curtir bastante.

Tenho ido às sessões de terça e quinta de manhã nas últimas três semanas, e deu para notar uma diferença real em como me sinto durante o dia. As aulas têm cerca de 45 minutos e focam em alongamento e respiração, o que me ajudou a me concentrar melhor nas aulas da tarde. Além disso, começar o dia se exercitando me deixa de bom humor para estudar.

Você falou semana passada que estava se sentindo estressado com as provas parciais, então pensei que isso poderia ser uma boa forma de dar uma pausa sem perder tempo de estudo — as aulas são cedo o suficiente para não conflitar com a maioria das disciplinas.

Você pode se inscrever pelo site da academia, em "Aulas Coletivas". Me avisa se quiser ir junto algum dia!

Abraços,
Jordan

Exemplo de Discussão Acadêmica no TOEFL

Enunciado

Professora: Alguns educadores argumentam que as universidades deveriam substituir completamente as provas tradicionais por avaliações baseadas em projetos. Outros acreditam que as provas ainda são a forma mais confiável de medir o conhecimento dos alunos. Qual é a sua opinião?

Aluno A: Apoio as avaliações por projetos porque elas testam habilidades práticas que os alunos realmente usarão em suas carreiras. Apenas memorizar conteúdo para uma prova não prepara para os desafios do mundo real.

Aluno B: Acho que as provas são importantes porque garantem que todos os alunos sejam avaliados sobre o mesmo conteúdo da mesma forma. Os projetos podem ser injustos porque alguns alunos têm mais recursos ou melhores colegas de grupo.

Resposta modelo

Na minha opinião, uma combinação dos dois tipos de avaliação seria mais vantajosa para os alunos do que depender de apenas um.

Embora o Aluno A faça um ponto válido sobre habilidades práticas, acredito que substituir as provas completamente criaria problemas. Na minha experiência como estudante de biologia, as provas me ajudaram a consolidar conhecimentos fundamentais — como estrutura celular e vias metabólicas, por exemplo — que precisei mais tarde ao trabalhar no meu projeto de laboratório. Sem essa base de conhecimento, o próprio projeto teria sido muito mais difícil de concluir com sucesso.

Ao mesmo tempo, a preocupação do Aluno B com a equidade nas avaliações por projetos merece atenção, mas pode ser resolvida com um design mais cuidadoso — projetos individuais, rubricas claras e escopo controlado podem reduzir significativamente o fator de desigualdade.

As universidades deveriam usar provas para verificar o conhecimento básico e projetos para desenvolver habilidades aplicadas. Cada um cumpre um papel diferente, e os alunos se beneficiam mais quando a avaliação reflete toda a gama do que precisam aprender.

Contagem de palavras: aproximadamente 170 palavras

Exemplo ilustrativo escrito pela LingoLeap Research Team — não é uma resposta oficial da ETS.

Por que essa resposta funciona

Posição clara: Apresenta um ponto de vista (combinação dos dois tipos) já na primeira frase. Sem ambiguidade sobre onde o autor se posiciona.
Argumentos específicos: Usa um exemplo pessoal concreto (disciplina de biologia, estrutura celular, projeto de laboratório) em vez de afirmações abstratas.
Engajamento com a discussão: Menciona o Aluno A e o Aluno B pelo nome e dialoga com os pontos específicos de cada um.
Linguagem original: Não copia frases das postagens dos alunos. Desenvolve as ideias deles com expressão própria.
Variedade sintática: Mistura estruturas simples e complexas. Usa subordinação, contraste e enumeração de forma eficaz.
Conclusão forte: Encerra com uma reafirmação clara da posição principal que une todos os argumentos.
Extensão adequada: Com cerca de 170 palavras, bem acima do mínimo de 100 palavras, com espaço suficiente para um desenvolvimento completo.

O que torna esses exemplos eficazes

Ambos os exemplos compartilham qualidades essenciais que se alinham às rubricas de redação do TOEFL.

Asking a professor for a meeting before the midterm

Write an email to Professor Chen

You are taking an introductory biology course and have been struggling with the material covered in the last two lectures. You have an upcoming midterm exam next week and would like to meet with your professor to clarify some concepts.

  • Describe which topics you are finding difficult and why.
  • Explain why meeting before the midterm would be helpful for you.
  • Request a specific time to meet during office hours or suggest an alternative.
Score 5 response (141 words)

Dear Professor Chen, I hope you are well. I am writing because I have been struggling with the material from our last two lectures on cellular respiration. In particular, I cannot see how the electron transport chain connects to ATP production, and my notes on the Krebs cycle do not match the diagrams in the textbook. Since the midterm is next Thursday and these topics make up a large part of it, I would really benefit from going through a few practice questions with you. Even fifteen minutes would help me identify where my reasoning goes wrong before I review on my own. Would it be possible to meet during your office hours on Tuesday at 2:00 p.m.? If that time is already taken, I am free on Wednesday morning as well. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Alex Kim

Content
All three points are covered, each with a concrete detail: the two topics named, why before the midterm, and a specific time plus an alternative.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Varied sentence shapes ("Since the midterm…", "Even fifteen minutes would help…") and precise word choice ("identify where my reasoning goes wrong").
Social conventions
A polite, appropriately formal register for a professor, a clear purpose in the first lines, and a request phrased as a question.
Accuracy
No errors that affect meaning.
Score 4 response (101 words)

Dear Professor Chen, I am a student in your introduction to biology class. I am writing because I have difficulty with the last two lectures. The topics about cell energy are confusing for me, especially the electron transport chain. I think meeting you before the midterm would be very helpful, because the midterm is next week and I want to understand the concepts clearly. I studied the textbook but I still have some questions. Could I meet you in your office hours on Tuesday? If it is not possible, please let me know another time. Thank you very much. Best, Alex

Content
All three points are addressed, but the second is thin: "I want to understand the concepts clearly" says little about why a meeting, rather than more reading, would help.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Clear but repetitive: several sentences begin "I…", and "helpful" and "confusing" do most of the work.
Social conventions
Polite and appropriate throughout.
Accuracy
Small slips ("difficulty with the last two lectures") that do not get in the way of meaning.

To reach the next level: Name exactly what you will ask about and why it matters for the exam, and offer a specific time rather than "Tuesday".

Score 3 response (52 words)

Hi Professor, I have problem in biology class. The last lectures was very hard and I dont understand many things. Midterm is next week so I am worried about it. Can I meet you? I want to ask some questions about the lecture. Please tell me when you are free. Thanks, Alex

Content
The topics are never named, the reason for meeting before the midterm is only implied, and no time is proposed. The third point is handed back to the professor.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Short, simple sentences with basic vocabulary.
Social conventions
"Hi Professor" and "Thanks" are too casual for this recipient, and the request is abrupt.
Accuracy
Noticeable errors ("I have problem", "lectures was", "dont"), although the meaning stays clear.

To reach the next level: Answer each bullet explicitly, with one detail per bullet, and adjust the greeting and sign-off to a professor.

Complaining to the housing office about noise

Write an email to the Housing Office

Your dormitory neighbor in the room next to yours plays loud music every night past midnight. You have spoken to them twice, but the noise has not stopped. You are losing sleep and your academic performance is suffering.

  • Describe the noise problem and how long it has been happening
  • Explain how the situation is affecting your sleep and studies
  • Request a specific action the housing office can take to resolve the issue
Score 5 response (135 words)

Dear Housing Office, I am writing about an ongoing noise problem in Hartley Hall. For about three weeks, the resident of room 214, next to mine, has played loud music almost every night until 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. I have spoken to him politely twice, and although he apologized both times, the noise continued the following night. As a result, I am averaging about five hours of sleep a night. I fell asleep during a statistics lecture last week, and my score on Friday's quiz was the lowest I have had this semester. Could a resident advisor speak with him and remind him of the 11:00 p.m. quiet hours? If the problem continues after that, I would be grateful to discuss moving to another room. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Maya Patel (room 216)

Content
Duration, times and the two earlier conversations are specific; the effects are concrete (sleep, a lecture, a quiz); the request is a precise action with a fallback.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Subordinate clauses and transitions used naturally ("although he apologized both times", "As a result").
Social conventions
Firm but courteous, which suits a complaint to an office, and the writer identifies herself by room number.
Accuracy
Error-free.
Score 4 response (84 words)

Dear Housing Office, I would like to complain about my neighbor in the dormitory. He plays loud music every night after midnight, and this has been happening for a few weeks. I already talked to him two times but nothing changed. Because of the noise, I cannot sleep well and I feel tired in my classes. My grades are also getting worse. I hope you can talk to my neighbor or do something to stop the noise. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Maya

Content
Every point is there, but the effects are general ("grades are getting worse") and the request is vague ("or do something").
Syntactic and lexical variety
Adequate, with limited range.
Social conventions
Appropriately polite; the sign-off would be stronger with a room number so the office can act.
Accuracy
Minor informality ("two times") but no real errors.

To reach the next level: Turn "do something" into one action the office can actually take, and give one specific consequence instead of a general one.

Score 3 response (40 words)

Dear Sir, My neighbor is very noisy, he play music every night and I cant sleep. This is very bad for me and I am angry. I talked to him but he dont stop. Please solve this problem quickly. Maya

Content
How long it has been happening is missing, the effect on studies is never mentioned, and "solve this problem" is not a specific action.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Very limited: a comma splice and short, repeated structures.
Social conventions
"I am angry" and "quickly" sound demanding, and there is no closing courtesy.
Accuracy
Agreement errors ("he play", "he dont") and missing apostrophes, but the meaning is clear.

To reach the next level: Cover all three bullets with a detail each, and replace emotion with facts: when it started, what happened, what you want done.

Proposing a plan to a classmate

Write an email to your classmate Jordan

Your group project for sociology class is falling behind because tasks have not been divided clearly.

  • Suggest a way to divide the remaining work between group members
  • Propose a deadline for each section so the project stays on track
  • Ask if the arrangement works or if they prefer a different split
Score 5 response (121 words)

Hi Jordan, I've been looking at our sociology project, and I think we're behind mainly because nobody is sure who is doing what. Here's an idea for splitting the rest: you take the literature review, since you already found most of the sources; Sam handles the survey analysis; and I'll write the introduction and pull everything into one document. To stay on track, how about the literature review and the analysis by next Friday, the introduction by Sunday, and a full draft we all read on Tuesday, two days before it's due? Does that work for you? If you'd rather take the analysis instead, I'm happy to swap — I just want us all working from the same plan. Thanks, Riley

Content
A clear division with a reason, a deadline for each section and a buffer before the due date, and a genuine question that offers an alternative.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Natural, varied structures ("since you already found…", "If you'd rather…").
Social conventions
A friendly register that suits a classmate, with no stiffness and no bossiness.
Accuracy
Error-free.
Score 4 response (64 words)

Hi Jordan, Our project is behind, so I think we should divide the work. You can do the literature review, Sam can do the analysis and I will do the introduction. I think we should finish our parts by next Friday, and then we can put everything together. Is this OK for you? Let me know if you want to change anything. Thanks, Riley

Content
The work is divided, but there is one shared deadline rather than one per section, and no time is left to combine and review.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Simple and clear, with little range.
Social conventions
An appropriate tone for a classmate.
Accuracy
Accurate.

To reach the next level: Give each section its own deadline, as the prompt asks, and say why the split makes sense.

Score 3 response (35 words)

Dear Jordan, We need to finish the project. Everyone should do some parts. I think it is better if we work hard and finish soon because the deadline is coming. What do you think? Riley

Content
No actual division of work and no deadlines: the first two bullets are only gestured at.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Generic statements ("work hard and finish soon").
Social conventions
Polite enough, but "Dear Jordan" is stiff for a classmate.
Accuracy
Few errors, but there is very little content to judge.

To reach the next level: Accuracy is not the problem here; content is. Name who does what and by when.

Should universities require an internship to graduate?

Dr. Ramos (education)

Dr. Ramos: Some universities now require every student to complete an internship before graduating. Supporters say it prepares students for work; critics say it is an unfair burden. Should internships be required? Why or why not?

Mina: Yes. I learned more in one summer at a marketing firm than in two years of classes. Employers expect experience, and a requirement makes sure everyone gets some.

Tomas: I disagree. Many students already work part-time jobs to pay tuition, and many internships are unpaid. A requirement would hurt exactly the students who can least afford it.

Score 5 response (133 words)

I think universities should require some form of work experience, but Tomas is right that an unpaid internship cannot be the only way to meet it. Mina's point stands: experience teaches things a classroom cannot, such as how to manage a deadline that affects other people. Making it a requirement also matters, because the students who skip optional internships are often the ones without family connections to find one. However, the requirement should count paid part-time jobs, research assistantships and campus work, as long as students reflect on what they learned. For example, a student working twenty hours a week at a café is already practicing teamwork and handling difficult customers. A flexible requirement like this would give every student work experience without forcing those who need an income to work for free.

Content and elaboration
A clear, qualified position, developed with a reason (who misses out when it is optional), a proposal and a concrete example.
Response to the discussion
Engages both students: it builds on Mina's point and adapts Tomas's objection into a solution, in its own words.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Complex sentences used precisely ("as long as…", "without forcing…").
Language accuracy
Error-free.
Score 4 response (83 words)

In my opinion, universities should require internships. I agree with Mina that internships give students practical experience. When students do an internship, they can use what they learned in class in a real situation, and this helps them find a job after graduation. Tomas says some students cannot work for free, which is true. But universities can help these students by finding paid internships for them. Overall, I believe the benefits of internships are bigger than the problems, so they should be required.

Content and elaboration
A clear position with a reason, but the support stays general: no specific example of what an internship teaches.
Response to the discussion
Responds to both students, though "universities can help…" answers Tomas's objection only briefly.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Competent but plain.
Language accuracy
Minor slips ("bigger than the problems") only.

To reach the next level: Replace the general benefit with one concrete case, and explain how your answer to Tomas would actually work.

Score 3 response (44 words)

I agree with Mina. Internship is very important for students because they can get experience. Experience is important for find a job. If students have experience, company will like them. So university should require internship for all students. It is good for the future.

Content and elaboration
A position, but the reasoning goes in a circle (experience is important because it is important), with no example.
Response to the discussion
Agrees with Mina and largely repeats her point; Tomas is ignored.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Short, repetitive sentences; "important" appears twice in two sentences.
Language accuracy
Frequent article and form errors ("for find a job", "company will like them").

To reach the next level: Add your own reason or example rather than restating Mina, and answer Tomas's objection in one sentence.

Digital resources or physical books for public libraries?

Professor Lee (public policy)

Professor Lee: City libraries have limited budgets. Some people think libraries should now spend most of their money on digital resources like e-books and online databases. Others think physical books and library spaces should remain the priority. Which do you support, and why?

Ravi: Digital resources. People can borrow an e-book at midnight from home, and they never run out of copies.

Elena: Physical books and spaces. For many people the library is the only quiet place to study, and not everyone has a good device or internet at home.

Score 5 response (129 words)

I would side with Elena, mainly because of who actually depends on the library. Ravi's point about convenience is real, but it mostly benefits people who already own a laptop and reliable internet, and they have plenty of other ways to find information. The residents who rely on the library most, such as students in crowded apartments or older people without devices, need something an e-book cannot provide: a quiet, free place to be. In my own neighborhood, the library is full every afternoon with high school students doing homework because they have no space at home. Cutting books and space to fund databases would shift the budget away from them. Libraries should keep buying some digital resources, but not at the cost of the building and the shelves.

Content and elaboration
The position is argued through a clear principle (who depends on the library) and supported with a specific observation.
Response to the discussion
Takes Ravi's point seriously and explains its limit, rather than simply agreeing with Elena.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Varied and precise ("shift the budget away from them", "not at the cost of").
Language accuracy
Error-free.
Score 4 response (88 words)

I support Elena's opinion that physical books and spaces should be the priority. Many people do not have computers or fast internet at home, so they need to go to the library to study and read. Also, reading a physical book is better for the eyes than reading on a screen for a long time. Although Ravi is right that e-books are convenient, I think libraries should first help the people who need them most. Digital resources are useful, but they should not take most of the budget.

Content and elaboration
Two reasons, but the second (eye strain) is asserted, not developed, and neither has a concrete example.
Response to the discussion
Acknowledges Ravi, though only in one clause.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Good control with a modest range.
Language accuracy
Accurate.

To reach the next level: Develop one reason fully with an example rather than listing two, and say why Ravi's point does not change your view.

Score 3 response (37 words)

I think digital resources is better. Because now everyone use phone and computer. Book is old and expensive. E-book is cheap and easy, people can read anywhere. So library should buy more e-book and less paper book.

Content and elaboration
A clear choice, but the claims are broad ("everyone use phone") and unsupported.
Response to the discussion
Neither student is mentioned, and Elena's point about access is ignored even though it challenges this answer directly.
Syntactic and lexical variety
A fragment ("Because now…") and very simple sentences.
Language accuracy
Agreement and plural errors throughout ("resources is", "everyone use", "more e-book").

To reach the next level: Answer the strongest point against you (Elena's), and support your claim with one realistic example.

Government bans or individual choices to cut plastic waste?

Dr. Okafor (environmental science)

Dr. Okafor: Plastic waste keeps growing. Some argue that only government bans, for example on single-use bags and straws, can make a real difference. Others think individual choices and education are more effective in the long run. Which approach do you find more convincing?

Lucas: Bans. People know plastic is bad, but most will not change unless they have to. When my city banned plastic bags, everyone started bringing their own within a month.

Aisha: Education. Bans only cover a few items, but if people understand the problem, they will reduce plastic in every part of their lives.

Score 5 response (123 words)

Lucas's example convinces me that bans should come first, although Aisha describes a better long-term goal. The problem with relying on education is the gap between knowing and doing: most people already know plastic harms the ocean, yet they still accept a bag at the checkout because it is the easiest option. A ban removes that choice, and, as Lucas's city shows, a new habit forms quickly once the old option disappears. That said, bans can only target a few obvious products, so Aisha is right that education matters for everything else. The most effective approach is probably to ban the worst items and use the publicity around each ban to teach people why, so that the rule and the understanding grow together.

Content and elaboration
Explains the mechanism (the gap between knowing and doing) and proposes how the two approaches combine.
Response to the discussion
Uses Lucas's evidence and concedes Aisha's point precisely, without just splitting the difference.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Sophisticated structures handled cleanly.
Language accuracy
Error-free.
Score 4 response (76 words)

I agree with Lucas that government bans are more effective. People usually do not change their behavior if there is no rule. For example, many people know that plastic is bad for the environment, but they still use plastic bags because it is convenient. When there is a ban, people have to change. Aisha's idea is good, but education takes a long time and not everyone will listen. So I think bans are the better choice.

Content and elaboration
A relevant example and a sound reason, though the example is a general observation rather than something specific.
Response to the discussion
Responds to both students, but dismisses Aisha quickly.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Clear, with limited range.
Language accuracy
Accurate.

To reach the next level: Engage with what Aisha's approach does better before explaining why bans still win.

Score 3 response (41 words)

Plastic is very bad for environment and animals. Many animal die because of plastic in the sea. I think government and people both should do something. Government can make law and people can stop use plastic. Everybody should protect the earth.

Content and elaboration
Never really answers the question of which approach is more convincing; the general statements about plastic are off-target.
Response to the discussion
Does not engage with either student's argument.
Syntactic and lexical variety
Simple, repetitive structures.
Language accuracy
Frequent errors ("many animal die", "stop use plastic").

To reach the next level: Choose a side in the first sentence, then use one of the students' points to explain why.

Como aprender com exemplos sem copiar

Escreva primeiro, depois leia o exemplo

Tente responder ao enunciado por conta própria antes de ver a resposta modelo. Em seguida, compare sua versão para identificar lacunas em estrutura, desenvolvimento ou tom.

Analise a estrutura, não as palavras

Concentre-se em como a resposta está organizada — onde a posição é apresentada, como o argumento é desenvolvido, como a conclusão funciona. Aplique a mesma lógica estrutural com seu próprio conteúdo.

Observe o que torna os argumentos específicos

Note como os dois exemplos usam detalhes concretos ("terças e quintas de manhã", "estrutura celular e vias metabólicas"). Pratique criar seus próprios detalhes específicos para diferentes enunciados.

Perceba as diferenças de tom entre as tarefas

O e-mail soa pessoal e informal. A discussão soa analítica e equilibrada. Pratique alternar entre esses registros de acordo com o tipo de tarefa.

Use os exemplos como referência

Após cada sessão de prática, compare sua resposta com um exemplo forte. Pergunte-se: abordei todas as partes do enunciado? Meus argumentos são específicos o suficiente? Meu tom está adequado?

Erros comuns após estudar respostas modelo

Memorizar frases das respostas modelo

Os avaliadores identificam linguagem memorizada. Aprenda a estratégia subjacente (argumentos específicos, estrutura clara) e aplique-a com suas próprias palavras.

Tentar reproduzir exatamente o mesmo estilo

Sua forma de escrever não precisa ser igual à do modelo. O que importa é que você responda ao enunciado com clareza, apresente argumentos específicos e mantenha o tom adequado.

Apenas ler exemplos sem praticar a escrita

Ler é passivo. Escrever é ativo. Você precisa redigir respostas com tempo cronometrado para desenvolver a velocidade e a fluência que os exemplos demonstram.

Achar que toda resposta precisa ser longa

O exemplo de e-mail é relativamente curto, mas completamente desenvolvido. A extensão deve servir ao conteúdo — não encha sua resposta com palavras desnecessárias.

Ignorar a rubrica ao estudar exemplos

Sempre conecte os exemplos aos critérios de pontuação. Entender por que uma resposta recebe uma boa nota é mais útil do que apenas admirar a escrita.

Como praticar com respostas modelo

1

Escolha um enunciado e marque o tempo

7 minutos para o E-mail, 10 minutos para a Discussão Acadêmica. Escreva sua resposta sob pressão de tempo real.

2

Compare sua resposta com o exemplo

Observe as diferenças em estrutura, especificidade dos argumentos, tom e cobertura da tarefa. Identifique de 1 a 2 pontos concretos para melhorar.

3

Avalie-se com base na rubrica

Use as rubricas de redação do TOEFL para estimar sua nota. Seja honesto sobre quais dimensões estão fortes e quais precisam de atenção.

4

Reescreva a parte mais fraca

Não reescreva toda a resposta. Foque na parte que mais precisa melhorar e tente novamente.

5

Busque feedback externo

A autoavaliação tem limites. Use ferramentas com inteligência artificial ou um tutor para identificar pontos cegos na sua escrita.

Read these after you have written your own answer, not before. For the routine that makes that work — timing, self-scoring against the rubric, and the one task you can drill free — see the TOEFL writing practice guide.

Escreva suas próprias respostas para o TOEFL

Pratique com enunciados realistas e receba feedback baseado na rubrica com inteligência artificial, mostrando exatamente como melhorar sua redação.

Perguntas frequentes

Onde posso encontrar exemplos de redação do TOEFL?
Os materiais oficiais de prática do TOEFL incluem respostas modelo. Além disso, esta página traz exemplos ilustrativos de E-mail Writing e Academic Discussion, com análise do que os torna eficazes.
Devo memorizar respostas modelo do TOEFL Writing?
Não. Memorizar respostas modelo pode prejudicar sua nota, pois os avaliadores identificam linguagem decorada. Em vez disso, estude os exemplos para entender o que os torna eficazes — a estrutura, a especificidade dos argumentos, o tom — e aplique esses princípios com suas próprias palavras.
O que caracteriza um bom exemplo de redação para o TOEFL?
Um bom exemplo aborda todas as partes do enunciado, apresenta organização clara, usa argumentos específicos, demonstra tom adequado e mantém domínio da linguagem. Parece uma primeira versão realista, não um texto excessivamente polido.
Esses exemplos são de provas reais do TOEFL?
Não. Os exemplos desta página são respostas ilustrativas criadas para demonstrar estratégias de escrita eficazes. Foram elaborados com base no formato e nas expectativas do TOEFL 2026, mas não foram retirados de itens reais do exame.
Como devo usar as respostas modelo para melhorar?
Leia o exemplo e analise por que ele funciona com base nos critérios da rubrica. Tente escrever sua própria resposta para o mesmo enunciado antes de ver o modelo. Compare sua versão para identificar lacunas em estrutura, desenvolvimento ou uso da linguagem.
As respostas de alta pontuação precisam ser perfeitas?
Não. Os materiais oficiais do TOEFL tratam as respostas de E-mail e Academic Discussion como primeiras versões. Pequenos erros de gramática ou escolha de palavras são esperados e aceitos. O que importa é a comunicação clara, o conteúdo relevante e a organização eficaz.
