TEF & TCF Canada writing topic generator
Pick your exam, task and theme. You get a random practice prompt with the word count and time you need to hit.
How it works
Pick an exam, a task and a theme, then press the button. Every prompt is written for French Exam Alert and shows the word range and time for that task. Neither test publishes its future topics, so these are practice in the real task formats, not predictions.
TEF Canada writing is 60 minutes: Section A, 25 minutes, continue a news article in at least 80 words over several paragraphs; Section B, 35 minutes, write a letter to a newspaper giving your view of a statement in at least 200 words, with at least 3 arguments. See the TEF Canada writing and speaking guide or more TEF Canada writing topics and samples.
TCF Canada writing is 3 tasks in one shared 60 minutes: Task 1, a short message (60–120 words); Task 2, an article or blog post about an experience (120–150 words); Task 3, compare two opposing documents and give your opinion (120–180 words). The per-task minutes we show are a suggestion, not an official rule. See the TCF Canada writing tasks guide, then write your answer on the writing practice timer.
