How does TOEFL independent writing make the language of life topics more authentic?
Thank you for your interest in SmartStudy:

As we all know, the writing and speaking part of TOEFL is an output test, which requires you to write or explain yourself. But the work that must be done before output is input, otherwise everyone will feel empty-headed and have no effective information to output in the examination room. Some candidates may feel that they are active in thinking, and they can complete the examination content by writing on the spot in the examination room. But as we all know, it is very dangerous for a candidate whose English is not his mother tongue, because there are many differences between English and Chinese, which leads to the reasons and explanations written on the spot in the examination room are very China-like. In other words, this is a taboo in TOEFL writing scoring standards-the language is not authentic. In order to help you efficiently accumulate a large number of authentic languages in the initial stage of preparing for TOEFL, here I help you extract a large number of authentic expressions written by native speakers from foreign magazines and related books, which you can accumulate in peacetime, even if you write authentic articles highly praised by examiners in the examination room. Now I will show you the real language of life.

The above are the idioms commonly used in life topics compiled by the author. Here I introduce a learning method for you. Just reciting the phrase once is not enough to support your output, so you need to practice simulating the output. In other words, you need to find a way to apply these phrases to a paragraph and make them work. And by constantly applying these phrases in my own writing, I constantly stimulate my brain and make it change from a group of "dead phrases" to a clever "living phrase". The following author shows you the application of several phrases that just appeared in the paragraph:
