Hi there, welcome to Duolingo English Test Prep Hub. Today we are going to learn how to answer “Writing Sample” questions.

General Scoring Criteria for DET Writing

Before we dive into the specific topics, let’s take a look at the General Scoring Criteria for writing on the Duolingo English Test. Writing questions fall under the category of open-response question types. In the orange box on the screen, we can see the scoring criteria specifically for writing tasks:

Each of these aspects contributes to your overall score on the writing section, so it’s important to keep them in mind as you prepare and practice. If you’d like to gain a deeper understanding of the scoring criteria for the DET writing section, please refer to our previous video, which explains the Interactive Writing portion in detail.

Introduction to Duolingo English Test Writing Sample

Next, let’s introduce the ‘Writing Sample’ question:

The Writing Sample is an integral part of the Duolingo English Test, where you’ll be required to write an essay based on a given prompt. This task occurs once per test session, giving you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to construct a coherent, well-structured response.

Tips for Writing Sample Questions

Here are some essential tips to keep in mind for the Writing Sample:

By following these tips, you’ll be better prepared to tackle the Writing Sample and maximize your score.

Categorization of Writing Sample Questions

Now, let’s look at the categorization of writing sample questions. Based on our research, writing sample questions can be broadly divided into three main categories: descriptive questions, argumentative questions, and comparative questions.

Answering Descriptive Questions

We’ll start by examining Descriptive Questions. Within the Descriptive Questions category, we can further break it down into three subcategories: Personal Experiences & Reflections, Descriptive Analysis of Objects or Concepts, and Hypothetical Scenarios. Below, you’ll find examples of these three types of questions:

As you can see, a question like ‘Describe some of the ways in which men’s and women’s roles in the home have changed since your parents’ generation’ requires us to provide a descriptive analysis. On the other hand, a question such as ‘Describe what you think would happen if you could only buy products made in your country. What would be the most difficult things to live without? How would people’s lives change?’ presents a hypothetical scenario. Lastly, a question like ‘What is the most unusual food that you have ever eaten? Who were you with, and how was the experience? What did you learn about yourself from eating this unusual food?’ asks about personal experiences.

Personal Experiences & Reflections

So, how should we approach answering these types of questions? Let’s start by explaining how to answer questions about personal experiences. First, we’ll learn some template sentences for your responses. Here, we’ve provided two sets of template sentences to help you answer descriptive questions about personal experiences.

CEFR Lv. C

As with all our previous posts, we’ve used two colors to present these template sentences: the blue parts are the fixed template, while the red parts in square brackets are the sections you can customize. For test takers aiming for high scores in the writing section, we’ve included template sentences containing CEFR Level C vocabulary. Feel free to take a screenshot to save these template sentences for future reference.

Alright, welcome back. Now, let’s try using the first set of template sentences we just learned to answer the following question:

We encourage you to give yourself 5 minutes to practice answering on your own before looking at our sample response. Okay, here’s our sample answer:

Please note that we’ve used two colors to display this sample answer. The blue parts are the template sentences, while the black text is the content we’ve written specifically for this question. Feel free to take a screenshot of this answer to compare it with your own practice response.

Now, let’s try using the advanced template to answer this question. Once again, we encourage you to pause reading and give yourself 5 minutes to practice before comparing your answer with our sample response.

Alright, welcome back. Let’s take a look at our sample answer:

As before, you can take a screenshot of this answer to compare it with your own practice or to study it further.

Descriptive Analysis of Objects or Concepts

Now, let’s move on to look at how to answer questions in the ‘Descriptive Analysis of Objects or Concepts’ category.

In this section, your task is to describe an object or concept in detail, highlighting its unique characteristics and significance. The response templates provided are excellent starting points for structuring your answer effectively.

CEFR Lv. C

For instance, the first template suggests beginning with a strong statement about the object or concept being fascinating due to its unique features. You then follow this by introducing the first key detail, explaining why it is important. This helps set the foundation for your analysis. Next, you add another key detail that adds complexity to your description, further influencing the reader’s understanding of its effect or significance. Finally, you conclude by tying these aspects together, allowing the reader to appreciate the true nature of the object or concept by revealing its underlying features or functions.

This methodical approach ensures that your response is both comprehensive and coherent, adhering to the criteria we discussed earlier, such as content, discourse coherence, and lexis. By employing these templates, you can craft well-rounded, articulate responses that meet the high standards expected in this category of questions.As before, we’ve provided template sentences with upgraded vocabulary for your use. Please take a screenshot and save these templates.

Now, let’s discuss how to apply these template sentences to answer specific questions. Let’s look at the following question:

Please set a timer for five minutes, and practice writing your answer using the template sentences we mentioned before.

Alright, welcome back. Let’s take a look at our sample answer:

You can take a screenshot of this answer, compare it with your own response, or study the expressions used in the sample answer.

Next, we’ll do a writing exercise using the advanced template sentences. Please use the advanced template sentences to answer the previous question.

Alright, welcome back. Let’s take a look at our sample answer:

Hypothetical Scenarios

Good. Now, let’s look at the explanation for the last category of descriptive questions, which is Hypothetical Scenarios:

In this type of question, you’re asked to imagine and describe a scenario that doesn’t currently exist, allowing you to showcase your ability to think creatively and critically. The templates provided guide you on how to structure your response effectively.

CEFR Lv. C

You can start by imagining the hypothetical scenario and describe what would immediately capture your attention. This is where you introduce the first key detail, explaining why it stands out or why it is important. This detail is critical as it sets the tone for the rest of your response.

Next, you delve into another key aspect of the scenario, describing how this would impact the overall situation. This second detail adds depth to your description and helps illustrate the potential outcomes or effects of the scenario you’re envisioning.

Finally, you reflect on the scenario, discussing how it provides insights into a related concept or theme. This reflection challenges conventional thinking and encourages the reader to explore new avenues of thought.

By following this template, you ensure that your response is not only well structured but also engaging and thought-provoking, which aligns well with the scoring criteria we covered earlier, particularly in terms of content, discourse coherence, and Alexis.

Please take a screenshot to save these templates for future reference and use.

Let’s look at the following example practice question:

Please practice using the template sentences. Remember to limit yourself to 5 minutes, the same time you’d have in the actual test. Alright, now let’s study this sample answer:

Next, we’ll practice using the advanced template sentences. Let’s try answering the previous question using the advanced templates shown on the screen. Remember to practice with a time limit. Alright, let’s study this sample answer:

This answer skillfully uses the advanced template to structure a coherent and thoughtful response. Each part of the template is utilized to ensure the response is not only relevant but also sophisticated, showcasing a higher level of language proficiency. By practicing with this format, you can develop the ability to deliver complex and well-organized answers under time constraints, a crucial skill for success on the Duolingo English Test.

Take note of how the transitions and specific phrases connect ideas smoothly, making the argument more persuasive and clear.

Note that our template sentences sometimes may not fully address all the questions in the prompt. In this case, the question ‘What would be the most difficult things to live without?’ wasn’t completely covered in our previous answer. So, we can address it like this: The most difficult things to live without would likely be the advanced technological gadgets and software that are not produced domestically.

For instance, if the Windows operating system, which is not domestically produced in my country, were unavailable, it would disrupt the daily operations of countless businesses and individuals who rely on its functionalities.

This also reminds us to use template sentences flexibly, tailoring our writing to the specific question. It’s important to ensure our answers are relevant to the prompt and avoid going off-topic.

Alright, that concludes our explanation of descriptive questions.

Answering Argumentative Questions

In the second part of this video, we’ll discuss how to answer Argumentative Questions.

First, let’s understand the classification of Argumentative Questions. Argumentative Questions can be divided into four categories: Opinion-Based Questions, Explanatory Questions, Policy or Recommendation Questions, and Evaluative Questions. We’ll explain the approach to answering each type of question separately.

To get a clear understanding of these question categories, let’s look at some example questions:

Example: “In any relationship, the most important thing is to always tell the truth. Do you agree or disagree? Give specific reasons for your answer.”

Here, you’re asked to express your opinion on a given statement. The key is to clearly state your position and provide specific reasons and examples to support your viewpoint.

Example: “What is the biggest benefit to having constant access to the internet? What do you usually do online? What is one thing you think should change about how people use the internet?”

These questions require you to explain a concept, situation, or phenomenon. You should focus on providing a detailed explanation and, if possible, break down your response into clear, logical steps or parts.

Example: “You have been asked to advise a company on whether to contribute funds to the arts or to an organization that promotes environmental protection. What do you recommend? Why? Give specific reasons for your recommendation.”

For these types of questions, you are expected to give advice or make a recommendation. Your response should include a clear recommendation and well-reasoned justifications, taking into account the potential consequences of your advice.

Example: “Do you believe that self-driving vehicles are more safe or less safe than human-operated vehicles? Provide reasons to support your opinion.”

These questions ask you to make a judgment about something, often weighing pros and cons. It’s important to present a balanced view and support your evaluation with evidence or logical reasoning.

By understanding these categories and practicing with these examples, you can better prepare to tackle the variety of writing tasks on the Duolingo English Test. Now, let’s move on to how you can craft effective responses for each type of question.

Opinion-Based Questions

Let’s start by explaining how to approach Opinion Based Questions:

CEFR Lv. C

When answering Opinion Based Questions, it’s essential to clearly express your viewpoint and support it with solid reasoning and evidence. The response templates provided here offer a structured way to craft your answers effectively.

For instance, you might begin with a phrase like, “Considering the statement describing the question content, I firmly believe that expressing your viewpoint, mainly due to explaining its importance .” This opening clearly states your position and introduces the main reason behind your belief.

Next, you strengthen your argument by adding another significant detail: “My viewpoint is further supported by the second important detail, which reinforces my stance by describing its impact .” This step is crucial as it adds depth to your argument and provides further justification for your position.

Finally, you conclude with a reflective statement, such as, “Reflecting on this matter helps us understand describing its impact, highlighting the complexity of the issue and encouraging thoughtful analysis.” This closing sentence not only reiterates the importance of your argument but also encourages the reader to think more deeply about the issue.

By following this approach, you ensure that your response is not only clear and well organized but also persuasive and insightful, which is key to scoring well on opinion-based questions in the Duolingo English Test.

Let’s now move on to practicing this approach with a sample question:

You can practice writing using the template sentences above. Give yourself 5 minutes, just like in the actual test. Alright, welcome back. Let’s study the sample answer:

This response effectively uses the argumentative template to provide a well-structured and compelling argument. Notice how we clearly presents their stance on the issue, supports it with logical reasoning and evidence, and ties it all together with a reflective conclusion. By practicing this method, you can improve your ability to respond to opinion-based questions with clarity and confidence.

Now, let’s practice using the advanced template sentences. Please try to write your answer to the previous question using the advanced template. Alright, welcome back. Let’s study the following sample answer:

This response exemplifies how to use the advanced template to construct a well-organized, sophisticated argument. Each part of the template is applied to create a compelling and nuanced answer. The writer effectively links their viewpoint with supporting evidence and concludes with a thoughtful reflection that highlights the complexity of the topic.

By practicing with these advanced templates, you can refine your ability to articulate complex ideas clearly and persuasively, which is crucial for achieving a high score on the Duolingo English Test.

Explanatory Questions

Alright, let’s move on to the explanation of Explanatory Questions.

Explanatory questions require you to clarify or elaborate on a particular topic or concept. The goal here is to ensure that your response is informative, structured, and comprehensive. The templates provided give you a clear framework to follow.

CEFR Lv. C

For example, you might start with a sentence like, “Given the task of explaining the topic to be explained, the first aspect to consider is the first key detail, which is essential because explaining its importance .” This sentence introduces the topic and immediately dives into a critical aspect that needs to be explained, setting the stage for the rest of your response.

Next, you would continue with, “Another vital element is the second key detail, shaping our understanding by describing its impact .” This part of the response ensures that you cover another important detail, further enriching the explanation.

Finally, you conclude with a sentence such as, “Analyzing these factors offers insight into the related concept or theme, promoting deeper comprehension and awareness.” This conclusion ties everything together and reinforces the overall significance of the explanation.

This approach not only helps you to organize your thoughts logically but also makes your explanation clear and easy to follow for the reader. Practicing with these templates will enhance your ability to respond effectively to explanatory questions, ensuring that your answers are detailed, well-supported, and articulate.

Let’s now practice applying these techniques to some sample explanatory questions.

As mentioned before, the best way to master these template sentences is through practice. So, please pause here and use the template sentences we just discussed, which are shown above, to practice answering the question:

Please practice with a time limit. Alright, welcome back. Let’s study the following sample answer:

This response effectively applies the explanatory template to provide a clear and well-rounded explanation. The writer identifies key aspects of constant internet access, explains their importance, and concludes with a thoughtful suggestion for improvement. This structure not only enhances clarity but also ensures that the explanation is both comprehensive and focused.

Next, we’ll practice using the advanced templates. Follow the same procedure as before, practice first, and then we’ll study the sample answer together:

This advanced response effectively utilizes the template to create a detailed and well-structured explanation. The writer breaks down the key aspects of constant internet access, explains their significance, and offers a thoughtful suggestion for improvement, all while maintaining clarity and coherence. By practicing with this template, you can refine your ability to articulate complex ideas and improve your explanatory writing skills.

Policy or Recommendation Questions

Alright, let’s continue by learning how to answer Policy or Recommendation Questions：

CEFR Lv. C

When faced with Policy or Recommendation Questions, the key is to propose a solution or recommendation that is both practical and well-justified. The templates provided offer a clear structure for presenting your ideas effectively.

For instance, you might begin with a sentence like, “Faced with the challenge of describing the issue, the immediate solution I propose is the first key policy or recommendation, primarily due to explaining its importance .” This opening clearly states the issue at hand and your proposed solution, while also highlighting why this solution is important.

You then strengthen your argument by adding a secondary recommendation: “Additionally, I recommend the second key policy or recommendation, which would enhance the situation by describing its impact .” This step allows you to provide further support for your solution, making your argument more robust.

Finally, you conclude with a sentence like, “This proposed approach aligns with the related concept or theme, advocating for responsible action and positive change.” This closing ties your recommendations to broader concepts, reinforcing the significance of your suggestions.

By following this approach, you ensure that your response is not only well organized but also persuasive and action-oriented, which is essential for scoring well on policy or recommendation questions in the Duolingo English Test.

Let’s now move on to practicing this approach with some sample questions.

You can use the template sentences above to practice your writing. Try answering this sample question:

Alright, let’s continue with the explanation of the sample answer:

This response skillfully applies the policy or recommendation template to present a well-considered recommendation. The answer identifies a clear solution, justifies it with compelling reasons, and suggests additional actions to reinforce the recommendation. By connecting the proposal to broader themes like social responsibility and sustainable development, the response is made more persuasive and impactful.

By practicing this approach, you’ll be able to construct strong, well-reasoned answers to policy or recommendation questions, which is crucial for achieving a high score on the Duolingo English Test. Keep practicing these templates to improve your ability to respond effectively to a variety of prompts.

Next up is a writing exercise using the advanced template. We’ll start by explaining the advanced template sentences:

When faced with a complex issue, you might begin by stating, “Confronted with the predicament of describing the issue, the urgent solution I advocate is the first key policy or recommendation, primarily due to explaining its importance .” This opening sentence effectively introduces the issue and your primary recommendation, emphasizing both the urgency and importance of your proposed solution.

To further bolster your argument, you would then add, “Furthermore, I suggest the second key policy or recommendation, which would ameliorate the situation by describing its impact .” This additional recommendation not only strengthens your position but also shows that you have considered multiple angles, offering a well-rounded approach to solving the problem.

Finally, you would conclude with a sentence like, “This proposed approach aligns with the related concept or theme, endorsing prudent action and positive change.” This ties your recommendations to a broader concept or value, reinforcing the significance of your suggestions and leaving the reader with a clear understanding of why your proposal is both necessary and beneficial.

By using this advanced template, you can craft responses that are comprehensive, persuasive, and aligned with higher-level reasoning expected at the CEFR Level C. Now, I encourage you to take a moment and apply this structure to the sample question provided.

Alright, welcome back. Now, let’s take a look at the sample answer:

This answer effectively follows the advanced template we discussed earlier. The writer begins by clearly stating the dilemma and proposing a practical and immediate solution, backed by a strong rationale. By suggesting additional actions that complement the primary recommendation, the response becomes more comprehensive. The conclusion ties everything together by connecting the recommendations to broader themes like sustainability and responsible action.

This approach ensures that your response is well organized, persuasive, and reflective of higher-level reasoning, which is essential for achieving a high score on the Duolingo English Test.

Evaluative Questions

Next, let’s look at how to answer the last type of Argumentative Questions: Evaluative Questions.

When responding to evaluative questions, the goal is to assess a subject based on specific criteria and provide a balanced judgment. The templates provided help guide you through this process.

CEFR Lv. C

You might start by saying, “When evaluating the subject of evaluation, the first criterion that comes to mind is the first key detail, significant for its role in explaining its importance.” This sentence introduces the subject and immediately highlights the first key criterion for evaluation, explaining why it’s important.

To add depth to your evaluation, you could continue with, “Another factor to weigh is the second key detail, influencing the evaluation by describing its impact .” Here, you introduce a second criterion, discussing how it affects the overall evaluation.

Finally, you would conclude with a sentence like, “This assessment process sheds light on the related concept or theme, fostering critical judgment and a balanced perspective.” This closing ties your evaluation to a broader concept, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and a well-rounded view.

Alternatively, you can use the second template: “In appraising the subject of evaluation, the first criterion that emerges is the first key detail, noteworthy for its role in explaining its importance .” This phrase introduces the first criterion in a slightly different way but serves the same purpose.

You might then add, “Another factor to consider is the second key detail, affecting the evaluation by describing its impact .” This continues the evaluation by introducing another important criterion and explaining its significance.

Finally, you could wrap up by saying, “This assessment process reveals the related concept or theme, cultivating critical judgment and a balanced perspective.” This sentence reinforces the importance of your evaluation and emphasizes the need for a balanced and thoughtful approach.

These templates ensure that your response is organized, thorough, and reflective, which is essential for effectively answering evaluative questions. By practicing these structures, you’ll be better equipped to provide nuanced and well-supported evaluations in your writing.

Let’s continue practicing with these templates, starting with template 1. Pay attention to the highlighted additional content. These are common expressions we use to convey our own views and opinions. You can use these phrases when faced with questions asking for your opinion.

For instance, the sentence “When evaluating the subject of evaluation, the first criterion that comes to mind is the first key detail, significant for its role in explaining its importance ” helps you introduce your evaluation by highlighting the first key factor that you believe is important. This approach provides a structured way to start your evaluation.

Another useful phrase is “In my opinion, I would choose one aspect of the evaluated object over another aspect of the evaluated object due to providing a reason .” This is a straightforward way to express your preference or judgment, especially when comparing two elements.

Finally, you might use “I think that one aspect of the evaluated object is superior in terms of highlighting an advantage compared with another aspect of the evaluated object .” This allows you to clearly state which aspect you find better and why, offering a clear rationale for your opinion.

By practicing with these templates and expressions, you can effectively structure your responses to evaluative questions, making your arguments both clear and persuasive. Now, take some time to apply these phrases to your own practice, ensuring that you incorporate these elements into your responses to strengthen your evaluations. Here is the sample question:

Let’s continue analyzing this sample answer:

This sample answer effectively uses the evaluative templates to provide a clear, well-supported response. It balances the objective evaluation of criteria with the expression of personal opinion, making it a strong and persuasive answer. This approach is a great way to tackle evaluative questions, ensuring your response is both structured and compelling.

Let’s continue with template 2, focusing on how to effectively use it, especially the highlighted sections that are useful for expressing personal opinions.

In the highlighted section, phrases like “In my opinion, I would choose one aspect of the evaluated object over another aspect of the evaluated object due to providing a reason ” are extremely useful when expressing personal viewpoints. These sentences allow you to clearly state your preference, backed by a reason, making your argument more persuasive.

Similarly, “I think that one aspect of the evaluated object is superior in terms of highlighting an advantage compared with another aspect of the evaluated object .” helps to compare different aspects, offering a clear rationale for why you favor one over the other.

By using these highlighted phrases, you can effectively convey your personal opinion within a structured and well supported argument. This approach not only strengthens your response but also demonstrates your ability to critically evaluate and express nuanced viewpoints.

We still encourage you to practice writing using this template. You can time yourself as you start the exercise. Alright, welcome back. Let’s look at the following sample answer:

This sample answer effectively uses the second template to structure a well rounded evaluation. The writer begins by introducing the subject and the first key criterion—reliance on technology to reduce human error. This sets the foundation for the evaluation and highlights a significant advantage of self-driving vehicles.

The answer then expands with another criterion: the consistency of programmed driving, which is crucial for minimizing rule violations. This additional detail enriches the evaluation, showing a deep understanding of the factors that contribute to vehicle safety.

Answering Comparative Questions

Great, you made it! At the end of this post, let’s learn about the last type of question in our writing samples: Comparative Questions.

Comparative questions require you to evaluate two or more options, discussing their respective advantages and disadvantages, and then often making a preference or recommendation. This type of question is common in writing exams because it assesses your ability to compare and contrast different ideas or scenarios effectively.

Let’s take a look at some Question Demos:

This question asks you to compare the lifestyle of staying in one place versus moving around frequently. You would need to weigh the pros and cons of both options and explain which one you prefer, with reasons supporting your choice.

Here, you’re asked to compare the benefits of being idealistic versus realistic. Your response should explore both perspectives and conclude with your opinion on which approach is better, backed by clear reasons.

This question requires you to discuss the pros and cons of leadership. Rather than comparing two different concepts, you’re comparing the positive and negative aspects of the same role.

Similar to the previous question, this one asks you to explore both the benefits and challenges of self-employment, providing a balanced view of the subject.

Now that we’ve looked at these question demos, let’s move on to learning the answer templates for these questions.

CEFR Lv. C

First, we’ll look at the template sentences for comparing two things. As before, we’ve provided two templates of different difficulty levels for you to use:The first template is designed to help you clearly and effectively compare two items by highlighting their similarities and differences.

The second template is slightly more advanced and allows for a more in depth analysis. By using these templates, you can effectively compare two items, providing a well-structured and thoughtful analysis that clearly conveys your reasoning.

Now, let’s do some writing exercises using these two templates. We’ll start with an exercise for template 1. You can pause your reading to practice, and afterwards, we’ll study a sample answer.

Welcome back! Let’s look at the sample answer together:

This sample answer effectively utilizes template 1 to compare the two mindsets—idealism and realism. The response begins by clearly stating that both similarities and differences exist between these two approaches, setting the stage for a balanced comparison. The writer then discusses the unique characteristics of each mindset, highlighting how idealism is linked to ambition and creativity, while realism is associated with pragmatism and practicality.

The answer continues by exploring how these attitudes influence people’s responses to challenges and opportunities, adding depth to the comparison. Finally, the writer concludes by expressing a personal preference for realism, explaining that it aligns better with their goals and values.

By following this structure, the sample answer provides a clear, well-reasoned comparison that is both analytical and personal, making it an effective response to the question.

Now let’s do an exercise using template 2, which is the advanced template. As before, you can check the sample answer afterwards and study it.

Here is the sample answer:

This sample answer uses the advanced template to provide a more in-depth analysis. The response begins by identifying the first key criterion—ambition and goal setting—highlighting how each mindset influences these aspects differently. The writer clearly contrasts how idealism fosters creativity and high standards, while realism focuses on practical, achievable goals.

The second criterion explored is how each mindset deals with challenges. The writer explains that while idealists may struggle with unmet expectations, realists are better equipped to handle obstacles due to their pragmatic approach. This deepens the comparison by showing how each mindset functions in different situations.

Finally, the writer concludes by stating a preference for realism, explaining that it aligns with their principles of practicality and perseverance. This conclusion not only wraps up the comparison effectively but also connects it to the writer’s personal values, making the argument more compelling and relatable.

By using this advanced template, the sample answer provides a thorough, well structured analysis that goes beyond surface level comparisons, offering a nuanced and persuasive evaluation of the two mindsets.

Lv. C

By using these templates, you can effectively analyze both the advantages and disadvantages of a subject, offering a balanced and insightful response.
