Writing Feedback / Buy books or borrowing books?- TOEFL [4]

I think my essay is not good, quite simple so I need your advices.
Thanks you all.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to buying or borrowing books. However, according to my point of view, it is always far better to have books on loan than buying new books. Because of saving money for ourselves and book's resources for the world,

I prefer to borrow books than all.

The first reason can be obviously seen that borrowing books saves our money. Although it is said that we should not regret buying books, at present it might be unreasonable. My experience in this case is a good example and really changed my mind. I took six courses in the first semester in college and was required 3 to 4 books for each of them; that means 18 to 24 books in total. In addition, reference books are also expected by teachers who believe that no book is dispensable. Finally, a significant amount of money was used to pay for all books. And a financial crisis happened with me in this semester as a consequence. Therefore, it is more necessary to save our money than buying all books with regret.

Indeed, having books on loans from college libraries is not wasting action to book's resources because it is not any book we bought is used well. The books I bought in the first semester are one case of that. Because the reason that these books are not used in the next semester and it is difficult to sell them to other students in Viet Nam, my buying book is a lavishing action. Hence, I believe that borrowing books is the best way to economize on resources of books.

In conclusion, the advantages of borrowing books I have been discussed above, I assert that we should not waste our money and book's resources unreasonably. By saying that, I do not mean that buying books is a bad habit or unacceptable. What I want to stress is that saving is very necessary for our current life and the world later; therefore, let do saving as much as possible from smallest actions, like borrowing books.

Writing Feedback / university students required to attend classes?; it should be their decision [6]

Should university students be required to attend classes?

Some people hold the idea that it should be compulsory for all students to go to classes. Others have a converse attitude that students should be able to decide whether they want to go to class or not and that is also my point of view. I consider that self-study helps students to save time, take the initiative in managing their time study, and especially, not to be distracted by their surroundings.

First of all, there is no doubt that if going to classes is optional for students, it will be the good way to save time. They will not be stuck in traffic jams in hours to go to school. The time they use to wait for bus, or to have long walks from this campus to another for changing subjects will not be wasted. Instead, they can use these times to do exercise, take care of themselves, or take part in other helpful activities. Generally, students will have many more time for studying as well as their other personal hobbies.

Secondly, once students have right to choose whether they should attend classes or not, this will be a significant advantages for the suitable managing of their time. For instance, a student might think it is not necessary to go to certain classes. She is well aware of learning them at home as well. Therefore, a well-organized schedule is carried out with works and times in harmony. The morning is a good time for her to study math, chemistry and physics. Fifteen minutes to break for each subject is logical. And the identical order is applied for her afternoon and evening times. In recap, the initiative in controlling the time study helps students learn about how to arrange and conduct their time efficiently.

And the last is that students will not be interrupted by other students or daily trivial problems, only if going to classes is optional. While you are focusing on a lesson, for example, another student might distract you with asking for telephone number or for a date in weekend. On the other hand, studying out of class helps students to avoid these troubles. Students are all offered their own space at home, thereby the extent of concentration becomes higher, and the acquisition of knowledge is more efficient.

In conclusion, from advantages of studying out of class I have been discussed above, I assert that students should have the rights as individuals to make own decisions for attending classes. By saying that, I don't mean that going to classes is unimportant or unnecessary. What I want to say is that the liberty to choose what is good, suitable, and convenient for studying should be offered to students. Because they are those who are mature, it is their responsibility for what they do.

Thanks you guys for checking my essay.

Writing Feedback / What are some important characteristics of a co-worker?-Toefl [5]

What are some important characteristics of a co-worker?

When asked what the important qualities of a supervisor are, different people hold different perspectives, due to their different experiences. After pondering this question on many occasions, I think there are several qualities that all co-workers have in common. They are responsible and cooperative people and they never give up.

As an important and fundamental quality of a good co-worker, he must be a responsible person. He must conscious of what he is doing and has responsibility about his works, faults and failures. When he doesn't have enough time to finish his works, he is to blame for not managing his time well. Furthermore, we are living and working in a decade of velocity. Time is gold. A work is divided a lot of parts and undertaken by some people to save time. If one of these parts can not be finished, the whole work is not able to accomplish/complete as well. As a good co-worker, therefore, he should be responsible for the work he assumes.

Other than that, being a cooperative person is also considered as a significant trait of a good co-worker. "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs" as it is said by someone. To be finished thoroughly/ integrally, the work should be done by collaborating of everyone in team. A good co-worker will be positive to come up with his ideas, opinions to solve a situation as an example. He is willing to argue with you to clear up a problem. Never is he too hard-headed to accept other concepts but will be in company with you to find out the best solution instead. A good cooperation will create a good relationship and that helps the work atmosphere (to) be more pleasure and enjoyable.

The last but not the least vital feature of a good co-worker is that he or she should never give up. He or she will pursue what he or she wants to have to end. By saying that, I do not mean that a good co-worker should be stubborn. What I mean is that despite of facing up to many difficulties and challengers, he or she will not withdraw from competition. Obviously, patience is not only a quality of a good co-worker, but also a quality of a good person generally, and it is the foundation of later success.

In conclusion, there are so many more characteristics that we could list, and there are many ways we could make a more accurate picture of the perfect co-worker we all want to work with. However, I believe that responsibility, cooperation and patience are the precious and indispensable qualities of good co-workers. Such qualities of a good co-worker will definitely contribute to your success in the future as well.

Thanks for your help, guys.

Writing Feedback / sense of humor, honesty, willingness - QUALITIES OF A GOOD NEIGHBOR - TOEFL [7]

I'm a new comer here. I hope you guys will check my essay. I'm very grateful about that.
My essay is more likely simple, unspecific, and something like that. But this is reason why I need all you to help to increasing my writing skill. ^^

Topic: What are qualities of a good neighbor? (250 words)

Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern, some people consider that wealth and intelligence are qualities a good neighbor should have. In my point of view, a sense of humor, honesty and willingness are more important than other characteristics. These I support with the following reasons.

Firstly, a sense of humor helps me feel comfortable and relax. Live is not simple, difficult and full of stress. Everyday I have to solve many troublesome things such as doing homework, keeping relationships, managing time and so forth. Therefore, it is essential to have someone who I can talk, feel pleasure and, especially, lives very close to me.

I like a person who is not sharp but honest more than smart but crafty. I will feel safe to have such a person to look after my house while I am on vacation. I will send to him some small gift as a reply or invite him dinner when he is too busy to prepare. However, it is very natural that I will not want to have a close relationship with a wily neighbor.

Finally, I appreciate a person who is not wealthy but willingness more than rich but selfish. When I need repairing my car, rebuild the fence; for example, a good neighbor will be willing to give a hand. I can help him with different works such as helping to buy food, take care of his baby. To a selfish person I do not think I can live in harmony with/ get a long with/ harmoniously.

To sum up, Live becomes easier when there is someone to share notably a neighbor. A near neighbor who is as a friend is better a far relative. And it is more wonderful to have a good neighbor who is humor - to make you smile, honest - to make you safe and willing to help you.
