The Writing System
ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE TOEFL® iBT (2026 Edition)
What's New in the 2026 Edition:
- Write an Email
- Academic Discussion
- Build a Sentence
WHAT IS NEW IN THE 2026 TOEFL WRITING?
The “Independent Essay” is dead. The new TOEFL Writing section is functional and unforgiving. You have only 7 minutes for an email and 10 minutes for a discussion post.
- Build a Sentence: A puzzle-like task where you must rearrange words into a syntactically correct sentence.
- Write an Email (7 Minutes): You must write a polite, functional email (request, apology, explanation) under extreme time pressure.
- Academic Discussion (10 Minutes): You must contribute to an online class debate, responding to a professor and other students.

- EMAIL TEMPLATES: Don’t waste time thinking about how to start or end an email. We provide ready-to-use formulas for greetings, requests, complaints, and closings.
