Let's talk about using quotations in the integrated and the independent essay. How useful or detrimental is it? 

I am very sure that you have gained plenty of insight regarding the mandatory rules of academic writing so far. However, sometimes, it is customary that some students disrespect the basic rule thereof in academics; that is Plain English. Guys, please, open the PDF of the teaching section, read it in detail, and respond to the following question: 

What's the fundamental rule of Plain English? 

Let's make it short and simple. In the TOEFL, there is an invisible enemy called regression. I want you to consult as much as you can with respect to that term, and explain through definitions, and examples if necessary, the drawbacks or benefits thereof. 

My dear students, 

The first part of this course has come to an end (Exploring the reading and listening strategies in the TOEFL IBT). The last forum will be devoted to consulting the Connecting Content Questions in a whole listening section of the TOEFL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQGDN8-pw18). That is, you are to find in the attached link, only the questions oriented to organize information in the sense of Connecting Content Questions. How many Connecting Content Questions did you encounter in the link? Furthermore, how useful is it to sort out your notes into categories like the strategy 20 posted in the teaching section? 

Guys, 
Once you have practiced the listening strategies 16, 17, and 18, I want you to portray a comment with an analysis thereof. That is, what did you learn from those strategies?
