Here are some tips to improve your writting skills:
Don't write "4" for "for" and "urself" for "yourself" - that's not cool, in fact seeing those abbreviations doesn't make me want to read any further, and I guess not only me.
Write i with the capital when you mean the pronoun.
Keep up the good work and practise a lot and I wish you good luck in your endeavour to pass the TOEFL  |

That's sms language. Those stuffs are meant for cellphones' short messages NOT for your essays, because the cellphone have a 160 characters maximum..

I'm cognizant of that. But here we do not lack for free space, so there is no need to mutilate the language using those kinds of abbreviation  |

Hi NS,
I agree with and Alex -- SMS language shouldn't be used in TOEFL essays. By the way, the noun 'stuff' is uncountable so 'those stuffs' doesn't exist.

hi,
You do not need to write all of the essays, of course.
If you could spend such much time on it, you could publish a book. But practise makes perfect. After writing some of it, and hand to other people and revise them.
Hope this would help.
Good luck |
