How to boost the TOEFL score through an essay

How to boost the TOEFL score through an essay? Its different than the SOP and hence, certainly an easy task! Here are the few tips!

Paragraph 1: The Introduction! It must be made up of 3-5 sentences, has two purposes: grabbing the reader’s attention, and providing the main point (thesis) of the whole essay. To get the reader’s attention, your first few sentences are key. Use descriptive words, an anecdote, a striking question or an interesting fact related to your topic to draw the reader in. To state your main point, your last sentence in the first paragraph is key.😬

Here’s an example of a good introductory paragraph given the topic, “Do you think teenagers should have jobs while they are still students? ”I’ve worked ever since I was twelve. As a teenager, I cleaned houses for my family members, made banana splits at an ice cream parlor, and waited tables at various restaurants. I did it all while carrying a pretty good grade point average in school, too! I definitely believe that teenagers should have jobs while they are still students because a job teaches discipline, earns them cash for school, and keeps them out of trouble.😬

Paragraph 2 – 4: Explaining Your Points! Once you’ve stated your thesis, you have to explain yourself! The thesis in the example introduction was “I definitely believe that teenagers should have jobs while they are still students because a job teaches discipline, earns them cash for school, and keeps them out of trouble”. The job of the next three paragraphs is to explain the points of your thesis using statistics, examples from your life, literature, the news or other places, facts, examples, and anecdotes.😬

Paragraph Two: Explains the first point from your thesis: Teenagers should have jobs while they are still students because a job teaches discipline.😬

Paragraph Three: Explains the second point from your thesis: Teenagers should have jobs while they are still students because a job earns them cash for school.😬

Paragraph Four: Explains the third point from your thesis: Teenagers should have jobs while they are still students because a job keeps them out of trouble.😬

In each of the three paragraphs, your first sentence, called the topic sentence, will be the point you’re explaining from your thesis. After the topic sentence, you’ll write 3-4 more sentences explaining why this fact is true. The last sentence should transition you to the next topic.😬

Now, to leave a lasting impression, your last sentences are a key. Leave the reader with something to think about before ending the paragraph. You could try a quote, a question, an anecdote, or simply a descriptive sentence. Here’s an example of a conclusion: I can’t speak for anyone else, but my experience has taught me that having a job while being a student is a very good idea. Not only does it teach people to have character in their lives, it can give them the tools they need to succeed like money for college tuition or a good reputation. Sure, it’s hard to be a teenager without the added pressure of a job, but with all the benefits of having one, it’s too important not to make the sacrifice. Like Mike would say, “Just do it.” 😬
