Hey. I attended my TOEFL exam today. It was good. I have a question. In the second question of the writing section, I included some short forms of verbs like won't instead of will not. Will it affect my score? If it does, how much?

It's understandable to be disappointed with your TOEFL writing scores. While you've made efforts to improve, it's possible that there are specific areas where your writing could benefit from further development.

Here are some potential reasons for your scores:

• Task-specific requirements: Ensure you're fully addressing the prompt and following the specific guidelines for each writing task.
• Organization and coherence: Check if your writing is well-structured, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Pay attention to the flow of ideas and transitions.
• Grammar and mechanics: Review your grammar, punctuation, and spelling to identify and correct any errors.
• Vocabulary and expression: Use a variety of vocabulary and sentence structures to demonstrate your language proficiency.
• Clarity and conciseness: Avoid overly complex sentences or unnecessary wordiness. Aim for clear and concise expression of your ideas.

Consider seeking professional help from a language tutor or taking a TOEFL preparation course. They can provide personalized feedback and guidance on improving your writing skills. Additionally, practice regularly with official TOEFL writing prompts to familiarize yourself with the format and requirements.
