Writing Feedback / [TOEFL iBT INDEPENDENT TASK] THE INTERNET OR PRINTED MATERIAL FOR RESEARCH? [3]

TOPIC: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better to use printed material such as books and articles to do research than it is to use the internet. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

sources for information materials

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the past, without the widespread presence of the Internet, people made use of printed materials for information. However, the Internet apparently wires in every corner of the world by now. Hence, most information now is referenced from the Internet, which I am totally in favor of. This essay will explore the reasons for my choice.

To begin with, searching for information from the Internet is less time-consuming than from books and articles. It is because of the introduction of searching engines, which allow the exploration of millions of data. All users have to do is to type down the questions that they feel dubious, and all sorts of answers emerge at the click of a button. For example, when an Internet user asks for "How to say hello in English", the searching engine on the Internet will reply with thousands answers on the dot. Compared to the printed one, it is far faster. On using books, readers have to look up the content and spend time looking for the pages. For this reason, it would take at least several minutes to do the book-searching procedures.

Secondly, the Internet can provide more sufficient answers than the other can. The Internet is dominated by billions of people. Among these people, there are possibly thousands of experts coming from different fields. So, when someone proposes a question, it can be answered by different experts. Consequently, the response to the question may possibly never get inaccurate. Meanwhile, the author who writes a book, whose authority on their subject might be profound, can make a mistake. But, since he authorizes the book by himself, the mistake will surely be overlooked. A classic case in point for this is the recently published result from the findings from Harvard University. It has pointed out clearly that nearly 75% of the book contains some erroneous details, while the Internet only publishes 20% false information. Finally, the finding constitutes a conclusion that the reliability of the Internet overwhelms that of the printed material.

In the final analysis, the Internet is a worthier source of reference for researching than the other one. Therefore, we should appreciate the essence of the Internet for researching purpose because the Internet are not sure to be here to stay.

Writing Feedback / [TOEFL] INCREASING THE PRICE OF GAS AND ELECTRICITY IS WISE, IN MY OPINION! [3]

TOPIC: The only way that Government can improve the environment is to increase the price of gasoline and electricity.

measures to save energy

In recent years, a hotly-debated issue whether the price of gasoline and electricity should be increased by the Government remains inconclusive. While the majority of people argues that the Government should not do so, some still voice their approval for that proposed policy. In my opinion, the cost of gas and electricity should rise.

To begin with, increasing the price of gas and electricity means saving a huge amount of energy. As a matter of fact, gas is extracted from deep-ocean energies, and electricity is also generated from electrical power. Therefore, if the Government increase the price of them, they will be able to restrict the abusive use of gas and electricity among inhabitants as a whole. Thanks to this policy, the factories have to cut down on the amount of gas and electrical energy they can produce because not so many people demand a great amount of gasoline and electricity any longer. Consequently, a huge amount of gasoline and electrical energies is sufficiently saved. For example, in Scandivanian countries, the amount of gas and electrical power remaining in the environment is relatively high. The reasoning behind this is that their inhabitants have refrained from gasoline and electricity because of the high-priced energy sources, and currently those countries enjoy such a fresh and energy-sufficient condition.

Secondly, the high-priced gasoline and electricity force people to find alternative powers. These alternative powers are considerably cheaper to produce than gasoline and electricity combine. Additionally, those energies are far environmental friendlier than gas and electrical power. Take solar power as an example. Solar power has already been embraced by so many countries. Clearly, it overwhelms the benefits of gasoline and electricity. Solar power shows its endlessness, its inexpensiveness and its safety to human beings since human relies on it for survival. As a result, such inhabitants have ended up generating it and regarded solar power as a main source of energy. If it were not for its advantages over other energy, people would keep on consuming gas and electricity without paying much attention to their harmfulness.

In conclusion, I think the Government should raise the price of gas and electricity. Otherwise, energies will not be sufficiently saved.
