Writing Feedback / TOEFL essay: movies - serious or amusing? [11]

I am waiting for your feedback...Thank you :)

topic : Some movies are serious, designed to make the audience think. Other movies are designed primarily to amuse and entertain. Which type of movie do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Recently there is a hot and essential controversy concerning on the argument that which one do you prefer, the serious movies or the entertainment movies. A proportion of people cite the point that they prefer spend most their time on the serious movies rather than the entertainment movies. Since they assume that, according to the serious movies which obtain meaningful philosophy, we will understand the meaning of life .Also, it is an effective approach to conduct children by the serious movies .However others think the entertainment movies are better, for they can get lots of fun and it can release work pressure to watch the entertainment movies .Although, there are one or two advantages of the entertain movies, I convince we can get more benefits on the serious movies.

By watching the serious movies, first of all, we can learn the meaningful theory which we can not learn from school. For instance the movie, "Forrest Gump", the main actor says "life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get". That means life is full of miracles, so we should not be defeated by the troubles in front of us .Moreover, we should have a mind which is full of passion of life and the courage of discovery for our future. One month ago, my best friend Eric was dumped by his girlfriend. Never had i seen so sadly was he. To help him get out off the sadness, I accompanied him watching the movie "Forrest Gump". When we meted few days later, he was better and thanked me a lot .NOW, always he like to tell others how does he recovers by watching the movie.

Also, the serious movies can be used as education material .As we know, to the students, the first thing, when they come back home, is that open the television and search the channel which they interested in. So the serious movies which contain the science knowledge are effective material to conduct the child having the opposite attitude toward the social. According to recent survey, the child who watched the serious movies at their childhood are more logical and skillful than other child who did not .Just like the movie "Forrest Gump" which i told above, it can help every child when they face the trouble in their life.

Of course, there is no denying that the entertainment movies is the necessary part of our life. The entertainment projects on the television can release our work pressure. Watching the comedy instead of the work which never can be done and listening the classical music instead of the complex interpersonal relationship which we have to deal with. So, we will get lots of fun from the entertainment movies.

Although there are couples of advantages on entertainment movies, I convince the benefits of the serious movies overweight the entertainment movies'. Because we can not only get the essential philosophy but it can have opposite effects on children .these two aspect are the most crucial demonstration to convince me the serious movie is better than the entertainment movies.

Writing Feedback / 'useless in applying theories'; Daily homework is not necessary for students [5]

Waiting for your feedback

Recently, our native education department make a survey whether teachers should assign homework to students every day or not. Nearly sixty percent of people assume students need more spare time on something they like instead of assignment mostly students dislike .On the other side, the rest of responses ,who feel the homework is a useful means by which parents can leave their child out of computer games. As I see, teachers should not assign homework for students and reason is below.

Does it really work for students to improve abilities by doing assignments? I assume assignments help students achieve high scores in paper exams, but it is useless in enhancing students' capacity of using and applying theories. Because, assignment is aimed at testing which point of knowledge we don't know. However, even if we can do assignments well, it can not demonstrate that we can fluently use knowledge in reality. The steam inventor, James Watt did not attend school at his childhood also without chance to do any daily homework. People assume his success from his capacities of self-learning, theory-applying and operation activities. Unfortunately, for the students of day, most of them are busy doing their homework instead of something which may wake up their creativity. Thus, limiting homework is imminent.

Nowadays, daily homework has possessed most space of students' time which students should spend on meaningful socialization for future life and work, such as internship, community service, and forth. As socialist says "To strength students' socialization is more essential than to simple use technology and hold theories ".Whereas, the actuality of today is that students are not closed to social and human groups but locked in home to do assignments. So, the daily homework have bad effects for students further developments .what should we do is to cancel daily homework ,to free students in their spare time and to lead them to learn what they really need in the future.

Whereas, maybe to some students who spend all of time in watching TV, playing computer games, daily homework is a effective way to restrict their time of playing .Because they always think of homework that they must show up to teacher on the next day, so they must work for time on study, if not they must be lost in the final exams.

Although daily homework has benefits for students, I believe daily work is not necessary for student. Because, daily homework waste students' time of self-learning and possess chance of acquiring social experience. I think the two points above are the most essential.
