Elite TOEFL Prep The following video contains a sample of the integrated writing task for the TOEFL iBT. This is the first task you must complete in the writing portion of the TOEFL iBT. The integrated writing task measures your ability to understand key ideas from an academic reading passage and a short lecture, and to write a response to a question about them. You must determine what information in the lecture relates in some ways to information in the reading. Then you must organize and compose an essay. In your response, you must demonstrate your ability to: → organize ideas effectively in answering the question; → draw requested connection between the lecture and the reading; → develop ideas with appropriate examples and explanation; → display unity and coherence, transitions; → use English words and sentences efectively. ================================================ The topic of this video is the "Organic Food". Here is the READING PASSAGE: → In the past decade, concerns regarding the safety of traditionally grown produce have arisen. Many chemicals are being used to control pests on crops, which have prompted some consumers to begin purchasing “organic” produce - fruits and vegetables that are grown without the aid of man-made chemicals. In the past several years, organic produce has become widely popular as it is healthier than traditionally grown produce for humans and for the environment. Most consumers who purchase organic fruits and vegetables do it for their own personal health. They know that when they purchase organic produce, they do not run the risk of ingesting any of the potentially harmful chemicals used with traditionally grown produce. Many people feel safer feeding their families produce that has been grown without these man-made chemicals. There are environmental reasons to buy organic produce as well. Farms that grow organic produce tend to pose less of a risk to the water sources near the farm than traditional farms do. Traditional farms use chemicals that can run off of the plants and make their way into nearby sources of water, which can cause water pollution. Since organic farms do not use these chemicals, they pose little risk to nearby sources of water. Also, organic farms tend to impact their surrounding ecosystems less than traditional farms do. The chemicals used on plants can hurt the populations of vegetation and animals near traditional farms, creating imbalances and disturbances in the surrounding ecosystem. On the other hand, the lack of chemicals on organic farms results in far less negative impact on nearby ecosystems. For people concerned about their own safety and the well-being of the environment, organic produce is the obvious choice. ← NOTE: In the official TOEFL iBT you would be able to have access to the reading passage, therefore you my use this reading while you are writing your essay. ================================================ You have 20 minutes to plan and write your response.
