in issue essay, I see that I can write any thing provided that I have clear ideas and structure. The body structure of issue essay can be

a, reason 1, example 1-reason 2, example 2-reason 3, example 3

b, example 1, example 2, example 3.

Is that right?, expert, pls, comment

for both essays, idea and structure are more important than language. This means I can use simple language to convey rich ideas and can still get 6. Is that righ?, I used to get 6 on toefl writing because I used simple language to convey rich ideas. Is that right? expert, pls, help

You can get a decent score using simpler words / language, but probably not a 6. The TOEFL is designed for non-native speakers, but the GMAT is also taken by native speakers. The very top score (6) is reserved for essays that "have it all" - including pretty much perfect grammar and spelling using sophisticated language.

But a 4.5 or higher is considered good enough on the GMAT - as long as you score in that range, you're fine.
