与综合写作不同，独立写作要求考生就某个观点提出自己的看法，并进行充分的论证。今天小编就给大家介绍下托福独立写作的形式和十大话题。
独立写作的形式一般为“do you agree or disagree with the following statement …”(你是否同意下面的论断……)，要求考生对题目给出的论断表明自己的观点，然后写出具体的理由和细节来支持自己的观点，写作的字数是300词以上，考试时间为30分钟。题目给出的论断主要涉及以下十大类的话题。
①成功类话题：in order to achieve success, we must be more like others than be different from others.
②工作类话题：people should take a secure job immediately when finding one instead of waiting for the job that they find more satisfying.
