Writing Section: Last section (after speaking), two tasks, 20 and 30 minutes to write, so about 1 hour total for the section
1 integrated: 3 minutes to read a text about a topic, listen to a lecture about the same topic, 20 minutes to write about the points from the lecture and how they relate to points from the reading
2 independent: read a prompt (a choice question), 30 minutes to write a response in which you answer the question and support your answer with reasons and examples
---
Integrated writing lectures may contradict or complement the reading.
- It can complement it by giving a specific example and explaining how it illustrates the points from the text. It could also be about a study or studies that support (give evidence for) the points from the text.
- It can contradict the reading by presenting the opposite opinion (about benefits or disadvantages of something). It could also explain why the evidence from the reading (for some position) is not good.
