Parents are our best teachers . do you agree or disagree?

When a baby comes to this world, the first men they meet are his/her parents. They teach him how to walk, how to eat, provide their loves and encouragement to the child without hesitate. It is the parents who company us the whole life and always stands behind us, as well as educates us most.

We almost spend the whole childhood with our parents. Before we can remember, it is parents who teach how to cry, how to laugh, how to speak, as well as how to walk. They give us the skills to survive.

A bit later, when we can say "mama" and "papa", they are the examples we follow, the way they talk and say, in certain degrees, we just follow their suits when we grow up. That is to say, as parents, they set the examples for their children in the attitudes to solve problems and toward the difficulties, affect them they do to the similar situation in the future. Also, parents provide the environment for their children to grow up, if this environment is warm and happy, obviously, a kind and generous child is the inevitable result.

Image that when you are in trouble, who will be the person you will turn to? Friends, teachers, or parents, etc.? Indeed, many prefer to turn to friends or teacher, generally, most of them prefer to go back home, because our parents are our closest friends in our lifetime. They will open their aims, embrace us and encourage us when we are in deep. Besides, what is more important is that they will advice us how to deal with this hard situation with their own experience and tell us what can we learn from it to avoid the similar one happening again.

To sum up, from the parents, we can learn things far more than we can expected, they are the best teachers for the children in the world.

Writing Feedback / Toefl topic -- why should people attend the university? [4]

Toefl topic
Q: why should people attend the university?

Many people always doubt whether they should attend the university or not. In my point of view, it is essential, here with the reasons followed.

First of all, getting higher education will make one's personality more mature and rational, he/she will learn to think by a critical way using the theory learned in university. Furthermore, the campus life helps students realize the importance of the team work, One of my best friends, Joey, is the best example for me to support this idea, when she was still a high school student, she always did things following her own mind, never cared about the others. But after attending university, other than study hard, she enthusiastically participated in the student union and engaged in part-time jobs. She started caring about the friends' emotions, following the principles of the teams, taking the partners' suggestion into considerations. We were all wondering what made her change so much, she unveiled the answers to us. It is the university that witnesses her changes...

Then the courses of university will help students get a better understanding for what they will do in the future and assist them in finding the real interest for themselves. As shown in a research, 75% of students in China find their majors are not what they real interests during the university, 30% of which transfer to another majors, which indicates that within the 3 or 4 bachelor's years, we can find out the career we have passion on it.

Last but not least, students can find plenty of friends having the same hobbits and interest, or even lovers in the cheerful and colorful campus life.

Overall, although there exists tremendous of examples showing that life can be successful even without university, in my opinion, it is a necessary experience for everyone.

Writing Feedback / A meal is not only the original resource for daily energy and health but also the spirit feast [14]

this my toefl topic! thx!
Q: Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live?

With the acceleration of technical improvement, it is undeniable that food has become easier to prepare. Nevertheless, there exists a controversial issue whether the advanced-technical food has really improved the way people live? As far as I am concerned, the disadvantages far overweigh the advantages. Here followed the reasons.

One of the primary objectives for easier accessible food existed is to safe people's time. For that reason, food is probably made in a hurry so that nobody can ensure they get the indispensable nutrition we need for every day. From a sustainable perspective, it is not acceptable. Let me take the microwave cookers as an example, which play an important role in people's daily lives. With the help of microwave, food can be prepared to eat within 3-5 minutes, which is obviously quite convenient, but how can it guarantee the nutrition taking our health into consideration? Do you really think they can play a magic show for us, providing the tasty and rich healthy food? To be honest, microwave cooker is merely the heating machine, its only function is just to heat anything put into it.

Besides, to have meals done quickly, cooks prefer to keep a mount of stock in kitchen, so the additives are necessary, which is harmful to humans' body. According to a research called "public attitudes towards food", 64% of individuals concerned their health due to the way they eat, 15% of the rest said they felt better when they cook themselves. This report has drawn the public attention to the self-made food.

To a higher lever, as public prefer the fast-prepared food such as KFC, burger king, the cook skill will be easily lost in the wind, which means, to a certain extent, the national cook culture is losing away gradually. That kind of junk food will replace the individual's mind, they will not be awareness of the enjoyment of the meal. To them, food is a just a kind of things making them full.

So sum up, meals are not only the original resource for daily energy and health but also the spirit feast, we should take our bodies into account while persuading the convenience.

Writing Feedback / Skill is more important than a theory, but without any experience - knowledge, it fails. [10]

Q: It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?

Do you know what dose knowledge means? According to the dictionary, knowledge means that anything one can learn from. Generally, there exist adequate sources can people get knowledge, such as teachers, parents, library, internet, etc, they can be divided into two categories - books and experience. Some argue that the knowledge gained from books is more important than that gained from experience, while others hold the totally different perspective. As far as I am concerned, I absolutely accede to the second opinion.

Accurately speaking, it is theory that we learn from books, and experience let people improve the ability. Deeply saying, books contain academic information helping people understand how things happen, why they happen and how to solve them, and the personal experience accentuates the skills the individual need to hand with different situation in the real society.

Undoubtedly, it is indispensable that people should get that kind of information. However, only having the academic theory is far less than enough, we should learn something from the personal experience, or even from the others'. In my view of point, the theory told in the books is based on the consumption that the environment is fixed and unchanged. While the real life is a flexible system, in which the change varies every second. If people apply every situation said in books to the real case, he will be upset in the end. That is to say, no one can survive merely with the academic theory.

While, from another perspective, let me take an extreme opposite point as an example, what about the person who only have the skills? Let me suppose that a boy without any education, will he become a successful man? Actually, there still exist some cases in real life. For instance, in ancient China, many emperors are farmers, who don't have access to the education, for them, the key to success is their experience, which is more suitable for living than theory.

To sum up, even though both of the sources are indispensable, skill is more important than theory.

Writing Feedback / toefl -- success and luck [7]

Q: "When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success." Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above?

People always ask how to success, some think it is because of hard work, while the others think it is from luck. As far as I am concerned, I accede to the part of hard work, but disagree with the last sentence. The following are the reasons why I think so.

As the proverb goes; "practice makes perfect". People can achieve their dreams by trying again and again, no one can succeed without practice. Let me take myself as an example, when I was a young, my mother took me to learn violin. Personally, I think it is one of the most difficult instruments in the world. It was so hard for me that I couldn't play a complete piece of music when I met my teacher in the next week. I felt extremely disappointed at that time, and I really want to play it well. So that evening, I started to practice as soon as I went back home. I was every awkward in the beginning because I cannot make my hands do different things. But I tried again and again, never gave up. To make my hands be balance, I began with one-hand exercise, and it seems worked. When I went to my violin teacher again, she was so surprised about my remarkable improvement and said; "Good job, girl.", which is one of the most exciting words I have heard till now, so I will never forget this experience. It is the practice that makes me successful.

However, besides hard work, success consists of a lot of factors, among which, luck accounts of the largest. Even though success is mainly result of hard work, we cannot neglect the existence of luck, which is not rational. According to the research on "how the successful men succeed in U.S.", 65% of which say they accomplish their goals only through practice, while 95% of people involved say it is the combination of work and luck that make them successful, even if the hard work is more important than luck for sure. In this conclusion of this report, the author said it indicates the clear ideas that luck is the second basic element for success.

To sum up, it is not so critical to say luck has nothing to do with success. Even though the hard work is the most important element, luck is still not dispensable.

Writing Feedback / toefl -- needed land / protecting environment [5]

Q: In your country, is there more need for land to be left in its natural condition or is there more need for land to be developed for housing and industry?

The concept of protecting environment is gradually aroused wild public concern in China and the government has already taken action to do so. However, there is still more need for land be left in its natural condition in terms of trees, food and climate.

We need more natural lands because we more trees to protect our country from drought. As we all know, trees can avoid the water flowing away, and they can also create the oxygen we need every day. However, according to a reported, 80% of the original natural land has become farm land in the late 70's, which is the result of over cutting. At first, only some farmers cut down trees to plant their crops in order to feed their family. While, as these farmers realized that plant additional crops would offer them more profits, they started to cut amount of trees down. Even though there is a remarkable improvement since Chinese government carried out the policy of returning farm land back to forest, not all of them can be return to the condition they had been.

Besides, we need rich lands because we need food. The action of 70's farmers did has made the permanent harm to land as tremendous elements has gone once the original land is forced to turn into the farm field. However, not all the original land can be used for farming, certain number of which cannot be used, so they finally become the waste land. With the expanding of the scale of waste land, many field lands are affected by reducing the production and producing the low-quality crops.

Also, protecting the climate is also one of the reasons to need natural lands. In every rural parts of China, there exist a lot of factories, especially the chemical factories, which produce a plenty of waste water and gas. Instead of recycling, these factories poured the water into the river, which lower the quality of water In China as well as that of air, as a consequence, aggravate the climate of the whole country.

To sum up, from a sustainable perspective, more natural land is needed in China. Only in this way can keep the balance of environment.

Writing Feedback / Personal life of famous person is no longer "personal" [5]

Q: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------

With the remarkable development of public media, the personal life of famous person is no longer "personal". Personally, I cannot agree more with that today's television, newspaper, magazines and other media pay too much attention to them.

Every day, there are plenty of journalists waiting outside of the homes of famous people. They take photos about the things they do and the people they meet. If there is something strange happened, the tomorrow's title page will appear the news of this person. Sometimes it is absurd and annoying, and to certain extent, has disturbed the normal life of those people, or even been harmful to them. The typical example is Princess Dianna, who is died in a traffic accident. After she had dinner with her boyfriend, the couple found there was a journalist who wanted to take photos with them. Wanting to get rid of him, the couple drove faster and faster so that they didn't notice another car coming to them. This situation also happened in other countries, many Korea TV stars have suicide themselves because of the highly concerned by the public, which also occurred in China. This situation has showed that public should give these persons a room to relax and work.

Another situation often happened to these super stars is that the news from them is always not about their works. It is more likely that public is now interested in their relationship with other people, instead of their hard work. When you read the newspapers, the most news appeared in them are like one has broken up with his lover, the couple of star C and D want to divorce, or even star E enter the relationship between F and G, etc.. However, as far as I am concerned, it is the private part of people's lives, nobody should tell other ones about their private life, even though they are famous.

To sum up, because of the too much attention paid by public media, famous people cannot live normally, which should be stopped.
