Writing Feedback / Toefl: In order to be well-informed, a person must get information from many sources [4]

The topic of using different sources to get information can be approached from several different angles due to its complexity. Some people would agree with it while others are not. I have developed my own point of view as well. Acquiring information from a variety of sources, we not only can avoid the subjective information offered by a single medium, but also reduce the probability of getting the wrong information. Therefore, personally, I tend to attain information from many different news sources.

Every single person has his own ideology, and the journalists are no exception. What will happen if we always get the information from the same source? According to some recent science empirical research papers, if our brain receive the identical pattern of information all the time, which will lead the fact that our approximately 80 percent of memory is constructed by the same information. In other words, as soon as we obtain the information, all of us subconsciously root those ideas in our brain. Try to imagine that nearly none of the thoughts in your mind are built by your own. I think that kind of situation is extremely terrible, so I favor to get information via many sources.

Inevitably we, human beings, sometimes make mistakes, and the reporters are no exception. Take my country for example, the competition between the media companies is very competitive. In order to attract more audience, some media always release the news instantly but rarely double-check the correctness of the news. Once, a news channel released that a fierce tiger ran out of the local zoo, and already had hurt people, which result in a wide spread panic in the city. Until the local government announced the news was wrong, the citizens calmed down. Thus, in order not to be misled, I prefer to acquire information from different sources.

Nevertheless, there is no perfect thing in the world. There are some disadvantages in getting information from many different news sources, such as taking time. Even in some specific occasions, it seems hard to obtain any news. Yet, things have changed this few years. With the maturity of WI-FI, we can almost get online everywhere and every time, so it is not to worry about missing any latest news any more.

All in all, it is clear that the media workers sometimes put too much their personal conception in the news and even perform the inaccurate news to us, at least in my country. Furthermore, I think that having my own concept and receiving the unbiased news are the most important things in the world. As a result, I claim with confidence that getting information from a single news source is secondary to acquiring from plenty of sources.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL; "little Buffett" Children should learn to handle money to be responsible [NEW]

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: In order to become financially responsible adults, children should manage their own money at the young age.

I agree the statement, since education should be started as soon as possible, and the learning is more efficient accompanied by adults.

First of all, by absorbing the unique experiences offered by parents, children can learn how to manage money more quickly and efficiently, science parents' experience can help children avoid going astray. Giving allowance, for instance, one of the methods to train kids to use money is used by my parents. At young age, I always asked for extra money to buy toys. However, my parents never gave in, and instead of simply not giving me more money, they taught me the appropriate way to spend and most importantly saving. Thus, forming the habit of saving make me become more financially responsible and lead a quality life. Contrast to my classmates, having two or more part-time jobs, and always complaining about having no time to study and join a club, I only have to get one job to cover the daily expense; furthermore by managing money efficiently, buying stocks and government debt, I earn a nick name- little Buffett. Hence, starting learning at childhood and being oriented by parents is beneficial for children.

Secondly, the earlier the training process beginning, the higher possibility of succeeding. Do you know when Tiger Woods start learning playing golf or when Yoyo Ma playing cello? It is childhood. Consequently, under the same theory, in order to teach a kid to become more responsible, the previous learning is indispensible. Take planting for example, with a view to cultivating a strong tree, the job of watering and composting is essential, while it is a shoot. Accordingly, the identical thought can be applied to educating children to become financially independent. In other words, asking an adult to take charge of his own money without any training since young stage is impossible. Therefore, I claim confidently that the childhood learning for financially responsible is indispensible.

To sum up, based on the reasons of beginning education earlier is beneficial for children and having the orientation offered by parents, I firmly believe that in order to have financial responsibility, the early stage educating cannot be waited.

Writing Feedback / Review the Past to solve the problems of the present and the future. [NEW]

In order to solve the problems of the present and the future, people should review the past.

In my view, the most efficient way to address the problems is to review from the previous experiences. Although some people claim that focusing on the present and future is better than concentrating on the past, I still consider reviewing the past as the best method to improve myself.

First of all, everyone's intrinsic features will not change in the short term.In other words, we are still being ourselves, no matter what we learned, owing to the innate attributes.

Therefore, we often make nearly the identical mistakes unconsciously again and again. Like me, I have the temper control problems. As long as things do not go as what I expect, I will get angry or frustrated. Last year, I had token an anger management therapy, after that I thought I was not the same person anymore. Nevertheless, few days after the remedy, an unexpected emergency showed up, and I went out of control again. Since that time, I realized that the most useful way to manage my emotion was reviewing myself every day rather than taking any uncertified mental courses or pills.

However, some people points out that reviewing the past is an excuse of afraid of stepping forward. In this way, reviewing will not only limit your own ability, and eliminate anything possible in the future. Yet, I totally disagree with the statement. Although they have the points there, one of the strongest evidence, in my opinion, to contradict the idea is history. Why should we learn history? Not because of fun or interesting, it is because learning history can assist us to learn the lessons from our ancestors. Accordingly, we can avoid those mistakes them had. One joke goes "Hitler must be not good at history, because Napoleon failed to attack Russia in the winter few hundred years ago."In other words, history is a mirror, by which we can find out the most critical problems we have, and then we can be better and gradually stride forward.

To sum up, based on the mentioned above, I firmly claim that read our own history stories is the better way to help us address the present and future problems.

Writing Feedback / Books have more influence on society than television. [4]

(TOEFL) Books have more influence on society than television.

I think the impact of books is more than television on society, since the books are the compiling of the human beings' knowledge.

Since we, human beings, have known how to record the events by drawing pictures or writing down words, "books" have existed as a variety of forms between you and me.

Thus, it is needless to emphasize the importance and impact of books. Take education for example, despite promoting the concept of "learning by doing", reading books are still the most universal educational methods, because books are available in anywhere or anytime, and due to its feasibility. Furthermore reading books are more beneficial than watching TV. As for me, I used to relax myself by watching TV programs. However, one day the TV could not work anymore. Hence, during the period of fixing of TV, I took reading as my leisure activity. Compared to watching TV, I realized that reading not only can ease my mind, but absorbing knowledge, so instead of pressing the remote control, I changed my leisure activity to read books while spare time. Consequently, based on my personal experience, the influence of books is greater than TV.

Nonetheless, some people claim that the high-quality TV channels, for instance, the National Geography and Discovery, are continuously showed up. Thus, they have very great impact on our society. In my opinion, although they have the points there, we are unable to watch TV programs all the time, that is, books are portable, but the TV is not, unless you want to bear a machine on your back. Moreover, there are a large amount of TV programs of violence and pornography. Therefore, I still consider the influence of books outweigh the TV.

To sum up, based on the convenience of caring books, and the compiling of the human knowledge, I firmly claim that the books are far more influential than TV.
