Aspect #2: Point by Point vs. Block Format
Which way is the best to write your TOEFL essay? Well, there are two ways to do so: point by point and block. What are the differences? Let’s see:
• Point-by-point structures the essay according to points, or specific facts and details taken from both the reading and the listening. For example: you make one statement about the lecture and provide either a point of similarity or contradiction to that point from the reading in the first paragraph. The same for the second paragraph, the third, etc… This is an essay structured around shared information.
• Block format is a bit easier in that it structures half of your essay about the lecture and half about the reading. The details, or specific bits of knowledge from each are not juxtaposed against one another as in the point-by-point.
Which is better, you may ask? Here’s my advice: If you have a relatively good grasp of both the content of the lecture and the reading – go for point by point. If you are unclear about both the reading and the listening and you are hesitant to attempt to structure such an essay – block format is viable. |

1 hr confidence: formato concentrado
Explanation:
A mi me suena mas preciso que formato intensivo. Mira la explicación:
Instead, the content is delivered in a modified learning (block) format via the following: (1) courses offered in concentrated blocks of time on campus (approximately 5 days with most programs scheduling courses around a weekend on average of four times per semester),

Example sentence(s):- A partir de 2010, la modalidad presencial pasará a dictarse en el Campus que posee la UNQ en Bernal, Quilmes, en un formato concentrado de tres días seguidos por mes (un jueves, viernes y sábado, a determinar).
- De esta manera, las seis materias obligatorias del primer año se dictarán en tres trimestres seguidos, de a pares por trimestre (la Universidad facilitará un sistema de traslado hasta el Campus para el momento del mes en que se curse).
