Integrated Writing Task
1. Instruction about this task
Reading Time Listening Time
Writing Time
3 minutes 2-3
minutes 20 minutes
In your response, you must demonstrate your ability to:
-organize ideas effectively in answering the question;
-draw requested connections between the lecture and the reading
-develop ideas with appropriate examples and explanation;
-display unity and coherence; and
-use English words and sentences effectively.
Your response is expected to have about 150-225words. It will be read by two qualified evaluators who will score it on a scale of 1 to5, with 5 being the highest score possible. The total number of points you earn for both writing questions, integrated writing and independent writing, will be converted to a writing section score of 0 to30.
First, you have three minutes to read a passage that is 250 to 300 words long.
Then the passage will disappear temporarily while you listen to a short lecture on the same topic. The passage will reappear later and be available to you during the writing time.
—Quote from Delta’s Next Generation TOFEL TEST
2. What do you have to do?
a. Keep in mind the general structure and transition words or phrases.
b. Taking notes is what to write down the key words and information that you hear or read. It is an essentially academic skill. You may be required by the university that you are going to. How you take notes efficiently and effectively have been taught step by step, the process of which has been listed with following sample notes in each practice.
3. General Skills
a. Integrated Writing Task-General Plan (recommended)
Paragraph 1 First key point from the lecture
Examples from the lecture
Examples or connection to the reading
Paragraph 2 Second key point from the lecture
Examples from the lecture
Examples or connection to the reading
Paragraph 3 Third key point from the lecture
Examples from the lecture
Examples or connection to the reading
From the structure of the plan shown above, we may know that the listening part is more important than the reading part since the question always ask you to complete the writing task according to either the lecture or the comparison between lecture and passage.
b. Coherence is the quality of unity and order in a piece of writing. The following transitions and other expressions will help you express relationships between ideas and give your writing unity and coherence.
4. Sample Answer
a. Complementarity Model
Complementarity model means the question in the integrated writing task requires you to complement the lecture with passage, both ideas of which are similar rather opposite each other. There is an example of this model:
Read the passage below in 3 minutes and then listen to the relevant recording that can be downloaded at the end of the whole article. After that, you may try to perform the writing part on your own, and then compare it with the sample answer. You may find the sample answer after the question part. Begin now.
The transparent front part of the human eye is a five-layer structure called the cornea. The cornea is dense and even in thickness, projecting like a dome beyond the white of the eye and protecting the iris and pupil.
A clear cornea is necessary for clear vision, and an injury to the cornea can pose a long-term problem. A corneal injury may lead to an ulcer, or it may leave a small area of scar tissue after it heals. The location of the injury or ulcer and the remaining scar tissue will determine whether or not there may be vision problems. The area around the edge of the cornea is not terribly important for good vision; however, if an ulcer forms at the center of the cornea, the scar tissue it leaves behind could interfere with vision. If a large ulcer occurs in the center of the cornea, it may be necessary to replace the cornea surgically in a procedure called corneal grafting, in which corneal tissue is transplanted from one human eye to another.
Symptoms of a corneal injury include eye pain, sensitivity to light, bloodshot eyes, a feeling that something is in the eye, blurred vision, and possibly a white spot on the cornea. The term keratitis is used to describe a corneal inflammation in which the outermost cells on the surface of the cornea die. With keratitis, the eyes are sensitive to light and they hurt, water, and become bloodshot. In severe cases, vision may be impaired.
To diagnose a corneal injury or ulcer, a physician will place a few drops of special liquid in the eye, turn the lights out, and shine a light on the eye while looking at the cornea through a special microscope called a slit lamp. If the surface of the cornea is broken anywhere, it will show up as a bright blue-green area.
Listen to the recording that you just have downloaded, and then try to finish the writing task on your own. The sample answer will appear after the question.
Question: Describe the causes and consequences of corneal injuries and ulcers, and explain how these problems are treated. (From Delta’s in P593-exercise 4.1A / Audio Scripts in P656)
Please notice the words with red, underlined, bold and inclined.
Sample answer:
Cornea is an important structure in human being's eyes. If it has not been protected well, it may have a vision problem. According to the lecture, there are many factors that cause this problem, such as a traffic accident, chemicals, dust or debris, dryness, allergy, infection and overexposure. These can cause vision problems in different ways.
Consequences of this problem can be identified in different ways, including eye pain, sensitivity to light, bloodshot eyes, and inflammation, scar tissue, and vision problems. The reading stated that if patients have gotten an ulcer called keratitis in their eyes, for example, their eyes may leave a scar tissue to cause a vision problem. Moreover, when some people have a serious problem about their corneas, their dead corneas must be replaced by a surgery.
The professor listed the points that treatments of corneal injury are various, including antibiotic ointment or drops, artificial tears, and wearing an eyes patch. Patients will feel uncomfortable about their eyes as they have gotten corneal injury. They may feel dry, itchy or even pain when they get this eyes problem. However, this illness can be treated by different ways until it heals.

Notice:
In the question part, there are 3 main words that should be concerned in your writing task, including causes, consequences and treatment. Hence, in your writing task, these main words or points must be included and detailed. Put it in another way, you may divide the writing structure into 3 paragraphs in terms of these 3 main words or points.
The answer is various but must include these 3 main words or points mentioned above and some specific transition words or phrases such as for example, however, but, and so on.
On the other hand, taking note is an essential skill in integrated writing part. The note is various but must be clear and succinct, which helps you to conceive effectively and to draw up efficiently. There is an example below, which is according to this practice.
Sample notes:
In reading part, the notes may look like this:
Cornea－transparent front part
－5 layers
－dense
－project iris, pupil
Problem－ulcer
－leave a scar tissue－cause vision problem
－large ulcer－cornea may be replace
Symptoms－keratitis
－eye pain
－sensitive light
－bloodshot
－white spot in eyes
Diagnose －drops
－turn light out
It is possible to write down this note since I have already done it in 3 minutes. The skill of taking notes is significant, for it has influenced not only in writing part but also in listening and speaking.
In listening part, the notes may look like this:
Causes－ball, fist
－traffic accident
－debris
－chemicals and infection
－dust
－dryness, allergy, overexposure to ultraviolet
Treats －ointment, drops, eye patch, artificial tears
You may only write down the important and main words while listening, especial nouns. Don’t worry whether or not the spelling is correct when taking notes, because you do not have enough time to figure it out. What you have to do is to concentrate on the listening part trying to understand completely, and then taking the notes which are clear enough to you.
Before performing writing task, you may rule out the sub-important and irrelevant information from your notes. Complete the accurate and adequate information according to the question in your writing. Do not write too long because you do not have enough time and are not necessary to do so. Key words and information are always what we need to concern.
2. What do you have to do? 主要說(shuō)明完成該部分作文時(shí)該如何找對(duì)策。
3. General Skills 這部分是說(shuō)明完成此部分作文需具備的skills。
