TOEFL Grader: Turn feedback into a better response
A score tells you where you stand. Useful feedback tells you what to change. Try a writing prompt below, compare a weak draft with a worked revision, then use the app for AI feedback on a supported writing task.
The workshops need no account. Personal AI grading happens in the app; sign-in and access requirements apply.
What useful writing feedback should help you do
Answer the actual task
Find missing prompt points before polishing sentences.
Explain your reasoning
Replace a general claim with a reason, example or consequence.
Revise with a purpose
Understand why an edit helps, then apply it to a new response.
The following original examples are editorial teaching demonstrations, not actual AI grading output. They carry no predicted TOEFL score. Compare the reasoning behind each revision rather than memorising the answer.

First draft: what is missing?
Hi, Our room is cancelled and this is a big problem. We have an important project. You should give us another room. We need it on Friday. Please solve it soon. Thanks.
The request is understandable, but the reader cannot act on it yet: the time is missing, the reason is vague and there is no fallback. Fix those omissions before replacing vocabulary.
Worked revision
Dear Ms Rivera, I am writing about the cancellation of our study-room reservation this Friday. Our four-person group needs to rehearse a presentation due on Monday, and we had planned to practise together that afternoon. Would another room be available from 2 to 4 p.m.? We only need a table and chairs, so a smaller room would also work. If all the rooms are booked, could you recommend a quiet area where four students could sit together without disturbing other readers? Thank you for helping us find an alternative. Please let me know which option would be possible. Best regards, Alex
Why these edits help
Before: We have an important project.
After: Our four-person group needs to rehearse a presentation due on Monday.
This gives the coordinator a concrete reason and the group size needed to choose a room.
Before: You should give us another room.
After: Would another room be available this Friday from 2 to 4 p.m.?
A specific, polite question makes it easier for the recipient to check availability.
Before: Please solve it soon.
After: If all rooms are booked, could we use a quiet area with a table for four?
This answers the third prompt point and offers a workable fallback.

WORKSHOP · Academic Discussion
Write, compare, then revise
Your practice prompt
Professor: Our university can fund either longer library opening hours or more campus social events. Which would benefit students more, and why? Maya favours library hours because working students need evening study time. Daniel favours events because friendships help new students settle in.
- State which option you would prioritise.
- Develop a reason with a specific example or consequence.
- Contribute to the discussion rather than simply repeat a classmate.

2. Compare the draft and revision
First draft: what is missing?
I agree with Maya. Libraries are very important for students. Students need to study and get good grades. Social events are also important but studying is more important. Therefore, the university should extend library hours because this is beneficial for everyone.
The position is clear, but the explanation goes in a circle: studying matters because it is important. Add a situation that shows who benefits and why the alternative cannot solve that problem.
Worked revision
I would prioritise longer library hours, especially during exam weeks. Maya's point about working students matters because access to quiet study space is uneven. A student who finishes a part-time shift at 8 p.m. may share a noisy apartment and have nowhere suitable to prepare for an exam. Keeping the library open later gives that student an option that daytime opening cannot provide. Daniel is right that social events can help new students feel connected. However, clubs can organise smaller gatherings without the same recurring staffing budget. The university could trial later hours during exams, measure evening attendance and then decide whether the benefit justifies a permanent change.
Why these edits help
Before: Students need to study and get good grades.
After: A student who finishes a part-time shift at 8 p.m. may otherwise have no quiet place to prepare for an exam.
The example explains the access problem rather than restating that study is important.
Before: Social events are also important but studying is more important.
After: Daniel is right about belonging, but clubs can organise smaller gatherings without the same recurring staffing budget.
This responds to the opposing contribution and makes the funding trade-off concrete.
Before: This is beneficial for everyone.
After: The university could first extend hours during exam weeks and compare evening attendance before expanding the service.
A limited proposal is more defensible than an unsupported claim about every student.
3. Review your own response
Ready for feedback on your own writing?
The workshops show you how to use feedback. In LingoLeap, choose an Email or Academic Discussion task, write your own answer and review its AI practice feedback. Use that feedback to identify a missing point or unclear explanation, then revise.
Open writing practice in the appChoose the task after opening the writing section. The app handles sign-in and grading access. Your workshop draft is not transferred. AI practice scores are estimates; ETS issues official scores.
What to check beyond grammar
For Email, check whether the recipient can act on your message: purpose, requested details and appropriate tone. For Academic Discussion, check whether your position has support and contributes to the conversation. A grammatical response can still leave a prompt unanswered.
Explore the writing rubrics, Email guide and Academic Discussion guide for task-specific practice.
TOEFL grader questions
Is this an official TOEFL score?
No. LingoLeap provides AI practice feedback. ETS issues official TOEFL results; a practice score is not a guarantee of your test-day result.
Can I paste any essay into this page?
You can draft an answer in the local workshop fields, but this page does not grade it. For personal AI feedback, open the app, choose a supported writing task and respond to its prompt. Workshop drafts are not transferred.
Which TOEFL writing tasks can I practise?
Use the writing practice app for Write an Email and Academic Discussion. Build a Sentence is a separate right-or-wrong language exercise, rather than an essay graded against a writing rubric.
Is TOEFL grading free?
Sign-in and grading access are handled in the app. Check the current account and credit requirements there before starting; this page does not promise unlimited free grading.
