Prof. Martin

We've been discussing the role of algorithm driven news feeds in shaping public opinion. Digital platforms have become powerful tools not only for sharing information, but also for deciding which stories people see first. Do you think these news feeds have too much influence on public opinion? Why or why not?


I believe algorithm driven news feeds can have a positive influence on public opinion. They help people discover breaking stories quickly and can connect users with important issues they might otherwise miss. In some cases, they make public discussion faster and more inclusive.


In my opinion, these feeds have too much influence on public opinion. They often reward sensational content and repeatedly show people material that matches what they already believe. That can narrow public debate and make it harder for people to evaluate other perspectives fairly.

नमूना व्याकरण संशोधन
Several doubt about the accuracy of the memoir writting by the Chevalier de Seingalt are raised in the reading but the professor clarify the seeming contradictions in the Chevalier's accounts to defend the memoir.

The professor explain that the Chevalier rich in assets, but poor in the cash, while he lived in Switzerland and had to occasionally borrow funds while waiting for its assets to selling. Accordingly, to the professor, being low on cash fund is not same as being financially poors. However, in reading someone who borrowing large of amounts of money could not be wealth, therefore the Chevalier must have lied his wealthy life in Switzerland.

The skepticism regards the reliability of the recorded conversations with Voltaire is challenging by the professor as well. She explains that, due to habit of recording each conversation with Voltaire immediately afterward, the Chevalier was able to recall those discussions in detail even after several years had passing.

Finally, the professor refute the idea briber was how the Chevalier got out of prison. She point out that because even the other prisoners who had better resources were unable to successfully bribe their way out of prison it was very unlikely that bribery was how he escaped. Also, she notes the existences of government papers recording repair work done to the Chevalier's prison cell ceiling as strong evidence that his escaping from the prison was accurately recorded.

TOEFL Academic Discussion Response Template

Your response should have three parts. This structure works for all five question types. About 90% of questions are either Opinion (~50%) or Choosing an Approach (~40%). The other types (Proposing a Solution, Problems and Solutions, Description and Explanation) are rare.

Step What to Write How Long
1 State your position 1–2 sentences. Clearly express your opinion, solution, or explanation. You can agree with a student, disagree, or offer a new perspective.
2 Support your position 3–5 sentences. This is the most important part. Provide a reason, example, or explanation that supports your position. Use specific details — not vague statements. The quality of this section has the biggest impact on your score.
3 Wrap up 1–2 sentences. Restate your main point or connect your idea back to the discussion. This step is optional if you are running out of time, but it helps your response feel complete.
Response Template

Here is a fill-in-the-blank template you can practice with. Adapt it to fit different topics.

Template:
Step 1 — Position: I agree/disagree with [student name]'s point that ______. While he/she makes a valid argument about ______, I believe that ______ is also an important factor to consider.

Step 2 — Support: For example, ______. This shows that ______. In addition, ______. As a result, ______.

Step 3 — Wrap up: For this reason, I believe that ______.

Note: This template is a starting point. You should adjust it based on the specific discussion topic. Do not memorize this template word for word. Instead, practice using different openings, transitions, and examples so your response sounds natural.

Useful Phrases for Your Response
Starting your response I think [student name] raises an excellent point, and I'd like to build on it by…
Both students make interesting arguments, but I'd like to offer a different perspective.
I strongly agree/disagree with [student name] because…
This is a thought-provoking question. In my view…
Introducing your main idea One important aspect that hasn't been mentioned is…
From my experience, I have found that…
A key reason I hold this view is…
To illustrate this point…
Providing examples For instance, in my country/school/workplace…
A clear example of this is…
Consider the case of…
In my high school/university, for example…
Connecting ideas Furthermore, …
This is significant because…
As a result, …
In other words, …
Concluding your response For these reasons, I believe that…
Therefore, …
In short, …
That is why I think…
Annotated Sample Response
Professor's question: This week, I'd like us to discuss government spending priorities. Some people believe that governments should invest more in environmental protections, while others think education should receive more funding. Which do you think should be a higher priority, and why?

Kelly: I think environmental protections should be the top priority. Climate change is already causing floods and droughts that cost governments billions of dollars. If we invest in the environment now, we can prevent much bigger costs in the future.

Andrew: I believe education is more important. Well-educated people are better equipped to solve environmental problems and develop new technologies. By investing in education, we are actually investing in solutions to all kinds of challenges, including environmental ones.

Sample response:

[Step 1 — Position] I agree with Andrew that education should be a higher priority, but I would like to add another reason that he did not mention. [Step 2 — Support] Universities do not just teach students — they also conduct important research. Much of the progress we have made in treating diseases, developing clean energy, and creating sustainable farming techniques has come from university research programs. When governments invest more in education, they are funding this research at the same time. This means education spending has a broader impact than environmental spending alone, because it produces solutions across many different fields. [Step 3 — Wrap up] For this reason, I believe that prioritizing education is the most effective way for governments to address environmental challenges and improve society as a whole.

What to notice:

  • Step 1 is short and clear — just one sentence that states the position and references Andrew.
  • Step 2 introduces a new idea (university research) with specific examples (diseases, clean energy, sustainable farming). This is the bulk of the response.
  • Step 3 ties the argument back to the professor's question about government spending priorities.
  • The response is ~130 words — concise but thorough.
Master the TOEFL Writing for an Academic Discussion Task

In this task, you will read an online discussion. A professor has posted a question about a topic, and two classmates have responded with their ideas. Your job is to write a response that contributes to the discussion.

You will have 10 minutes to write your response. A good response is around 120–130 words.

Based on official ETS questions, there are five types of question prompts. However, two types account for about 90% of all questions:

Type What You Do Frequency
Opinion You agree or disagree with a statement and explain why. ~50%
Choosing an Approach You pick between two options and explain why one is better. ~40%
Proposing a Solution You suggest a way to solve a problem. Rare
Problems and Solutions You identify a problem and propose a solution. Rare
Description and Explanation You explain why something is important or beneficial. Rare

The same response structure works for all five types. Let's look at tips to help you score high.

Tip 1: Read the discussion carefully before writing

Before you begin writing, take about 2 minutes to read the professor's question and both student responses carefully. Pay attention to:

  • The professor's question – What topic is being discussed? What specific question is the professor asking? Which question type is it?
  • Student A's opinion – What position does this student take? What reasons do they give?
  • Student B's opinion – Does this student agree or disagree with Student A? What different perspective do they offer?

Understanding all three posts helps you write a response that connects to what has already been said, which is important for a high score. Decide: Do you agree with a student, disagree, or have a different idea? Think of one specific example you can use.

Tip 2: Add something new — do not copy a student's ideas

Your response should clearly state your opinion on the topic. You can agree with one of the students, partially agree with both, or offer a completely different perspective. The key is to add something new to the discussion.

It is fine to agree with a student's viewpoint, but you must provide your own reasons and examples to support it. Do not repeat the same supporting points the student already gave.

Wrong approach Right approach
"I agree with Kelly. Climate change causes floods and droughts that cost billions. We should invest in the environment to prevent bigger costs later."

This just restates Kelly's argument in different words. It adds nothing new.
"I agree with Kelly that environmental protections should be a priority. Currently, governments spend enormous amounts repairing damage from storms and wildfires. Investing in prevention now — such as reforestation and cleaner energy — could save that money in the long run."

This agrees with Kelly but adds new details and a new angle.
Tip 3: Reference the other posts in your response

A strong response connects to the discussion. Briefly mention the professor's question or a student's idea before sharing your own thoughts. Your tone should be semi-formal: clear, respectful, and grammatically correct, but not stiff or overly academic.

Here are some useful phrases for referencing others:

Agreeing and building on it I agree with [name]'s point about…, and I would like to add…
[Name]'s perspective resonates with me because…
Building on what [name] said, I think…
I would like to add to [name]'s point about…
Disagreeing respectfully While I understand where [name] is coming from, I tend to see it differently…
I appreciate [name]'s viewpoint, but I hold a slightly different perspective…
I see [name]'s point, but from my perspective, it seems that…
I see the merit in [name]'s argument; however, I would argue that…
Adding a new perspective In addition to what has been discussed…
Another aspect worth considering is…
Neither student has mentioned…, which I think is important.
I'd like to offer a different angle on this topic.
Tip 4: Use correct grammar and varied vocabulary

Even though the Academic Discussion response is shorter than a full essay, grammar and vocabulary still matter. You should:

  • Use a variety of sentence structures (simple, compound, and complex sentences)
  • Avoid repeating the same words – use synonyms where possible
  • Check your subject-verb agreement and verb tenses
  • Use academic vocabulary when appropriate (e.g., "significant" instead of "big," "contribute" instead of "help")
  • Be specific. Replace vague statements like "Some students try hard but don't get good grades" with concrete details like "In my high school math class, a classmate studied for hours every day but still scored lower than students who found the subject easy."

Lesson: Relative pronouns and relative clauses

Tip 5: Manage your time and length wisely

You have 10 minutes for this task. Here is a suggested time breakdown:

0:00–2:00 Read & Plan. Read the professor's question and both student posts. Decide your position and think of one specific example you can use.
2:00–8:00 Write. Follow the 3-step structure: state your position (1–2 sentences), support it with a reason and example (3–5 sentences), and wrap up (1–2 sentences).
8:00–10:00 Review. Check for grammar and spelling mistakes. Make sure you referenced the discussion and added your own ideas. Confirm your response is at least 100 words.

Target length: 120–130 words. Writing too little (under 100 words) means not enough content to evaluate. Writing too much (over 160 words) risks running out of time and introducing grammar errors. Stay focused: make one main point and support it well.

Tip: If you are running out of time at the 8-minute mark, skip the wrap-up sentence and use the remaining time to fix grammar errors instead. A shorter response with good grammar scores better than a longer one full of mistakes.
