You are welcome.

I hope it helps.

Other points I would like to include:

1: Using adjectives that denote quality, use of simile, metaphors, and words that describe how the senses react or feel.

2: If possible, an answer to WWWWW (what why who when where) which could be used in the introduction, body and conclusion depending on the question

3: Give introductory statement early so you could give a detailed description

4: Generally, I also suggest that one writes the exam bearing in mind he/she would try to give more information about himself/herself during the exam.
In my opinion, a lot of the independent questions on speaking and writing are really about knowing more from exam taker. Bearing this in mind would put one at ease. This includes ones perception of various issues, ones likes e.t.c This could help to give a more natural, passionate and spontaneous response. However, the writing part also requires a logical and organized flow of writing

Hi! There are actually lots of example templates on the web. Take a look at this one, for example: 4tests . com / toefl
There you can take a look at an example and also try yourself.

I found this youtube video titled "TOEFL Independent Writing Task - Live Essay Demonstration 1" helpful for the second writing question

For the first writing question, I suggest taking as many notes as possible from the lecture. This would increase the word count, and can easily be contrasted with the passage since the passage would be displayed on the screen.

The "toefl tv" youtube video on Writing integrated questions also indicates this.
