Writing Feedback / TOEFL TOPIC:Parents and adult relatives should make decisions for older teenagers [3]

I read Ryan's correction version, but I am sorry, I did not find any correction or change in the essay at all. I read the correction version many times yesterday but still have no idea. I'm so curious about it!

Would you please show me what changes have been made?
And what do you think of the essay? How about the score of the essay on TOEFL?(if you have any idea)
And I will pay attention to "while" next time...

Thanks Kevin!

Writing Feedback / TOEFL TOPIC:Parents and adult relatives should make decisions for older teenagers [3]

TOEFL TOPIC: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents and adult relatives should make important decisions for older teenage children( age 15--18)...Use specific reasons and examples.

Many people hold the opion that parents or other relative adults should make important decisions for their older teenage children, since they do not want their children to make any wrong decision or mistake during the important life stage. While, I do not agree with them at all. Because age fifteen to eighteen is such a crucial period for the teenage children to form their personality, to learn how to make decisions and take responsibily of it, as well as to develop where their talent lie. No one can make the important decisions for their life but themselves.

First, the age fiftteen to eighteen, accoding to many research, is the time for teenage children to form thier personality. They need to make their own choices and follow their own hearts. If all the decisions were made by their parents or adult relatives, we can not image where is the creative side, and where is the distinguish side. The world will be lack in innovation.

In addition, it is also the age for the older teenage children to learn to be responsible for themselves. No matter the child is a girl or a boy, most of the important decisions in thier life should be made by themselves. On one hand, children will be dependent on their parents and adult relatives' decision making and do not want to and feared to make their own decisions. How is their parents and adult relatives who made the important decisions for them pass away? How can they make their own decisions in their later life? They should have the ability to make their own decision even when they are only teenage children. On the other hand, all the decisions could be ricky, who can take responsiblity to the children if the decisions do not benefit? It is the child's own life, so, in order not to make anyone feel guilty or regret for the results, it should be the child who make the decisions in his own life.

Furthermore, parents and adult relatives should not make the important decision for the children since people are different from each other, no one knows the child better than the child himself. The child knows on which field he can be really good at, and on which field he lacks talent in. During the age I was eighteen, my parents make the decision for me to go to study Finance, but for me, Asian studies seems much more attractive and I have strong will to study on that. Since they make the decision and I did not obey their will, four years collge life on Finance make me feel really bad. And I even fell to pass two of the courses since I have no interest in them. I feel so regret for the desicion, and it takes me more time to achieve the success on Asian studies during graduate school. This is what a parents-making decision will lead us to. On most circumstances they only follow their own will to choose for you but ignore where your talent really lie.

Adimittedly, parents and adult relatives do all the things to make the children benefit the best and not to make wrong decisions. But they fail to notice that it is their own life and the life should be choosen by themselves. They are themselves and they should decide which direction to go but not follow their parents or adult relatives' guide.

anyway, aboves are just my personal opion...hope to see your other essays.

Writing Feedback / Low salary and more vacation time or high salary and less vacation - TEOFL [3]

TOPIC: A job with more vacation time but a low salary is better than a job with a high salary but less vacation time.

Many people prefer a job with a high salary but less vacation time, since with plenty of money, a lot of dreams on material leve will be fullfilled. But for me, a job with more vacation time but a low salary is much more attractive.

A job with more vacation time bring us more time to spend with our family and friends. With the pressure of the society, we all need the time to relax ourselves. More vacation time undoubtly offer us more freedom to spend with our family and friends. This is almost the best way for us to relax. Furthermore, this brings us more chances to make better communication with our family members and friends. On one hand, bridge the generation gap between parents and children, on the other hand enhance the frienship more firm.

In addition, a job with more vacation time give us more chances to take time to travel, to make advanture, to find ourselves. Staying at one place for a long period of time will get people bored. At this time, a chance to take a travel to some other places will make people feel fresh again. Especially when people take time to travel to some other countries, the overseas culture and life style will both wide people's horizon as well as give people more ideas about life and work.

Besides that, people can also study more to refine themselves by taking the vacation time to learn something. No matter learning a new kind of skill or new kind of language, this will make our brain much more smart. And this may also benifit us in our work field, accelareting the process to get promoted.

Admittedly, it is hard to deny that money plays a very important role in our life. Without money, it is difficult to make a lot of dreams to come true. But more vacation time do bring us more happiness and more chances for us to find ourselves. Since life is short, it will be very wise to take a job with more vacation time.

People attend college or university for plenty of reasons. No doubt to say that attending college or university provid people the chance to experience new things, the access to get well prepared for jobs , as well as the opportunity to increase knowledge. In addition, attending collge or university contribute to forming the person's personality and make friends on future work field.

One of the most attracting reasons for people to go to college or university is that these institutions offer people chances to increase knowledge. Professional educaters there provide students well educational system. This makes colleges and universities almost the best places for people to fullfill their brain in not a short time.All of this, both offer the students the benefits to have better jobs and the well educated brain to have a better way to understand the world.

In addition, attending collge or university contributes to helping students to form their personality. On one hand, the circumstance there provide students to experience different things, to make friends from almost all over the world. With some chances to exchange to some other countries and the chances to have lectures from some successful former schoolmates, it is not difficult for the students to find which way they want to go, as well as which kind of person the they want to be. On the other hand, compared with home school or self-learning, studying in college or university make it possible for the students to communicate with the professors to talk about life and career plan. One of the most benefit points of this is that the talk with the educaters will avoid the students to make some mistakes and make eazier to success.

Furthermore, the years in college or university is almost the best time for the students to make friends on the certain future work field. Not only does this kind of relationship helps a person to gain more job chances and promotion opportunities in certain field, but also helps to get better ways on solving certain problems on that field. Beyond that, academically, school friends on the same research change opions more freely and this kind of communication will probably stimulates the ideas explore new theories and the new approach to new solutions.

Adimittedly, there are also other ways for a person to achieve sucess. But having education in collge or university provid the best way to achieve that.
