Writing Feedback / Essay: Going abroad for studying or not? [2]

opic: The idea of going oversea for university study is an exciting prospect for many people. But while it may offer some advantages, it is probably better to stay home because of the difficulties a student inevitably encounters living and studying in a different culture. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Going abroad for studying or not?

It's been always a hot debate about going oversea for university studying or simply chooses to stay home. Opponents of oversea study list the cultural encounters and individual adaptation problems as their reasons, which view as opportunities to improve themselves for oversea students. It's the fact that studying abroad could have some problems anyone couldn't escape, however, to some extent, I couldn't agree that one should choose to live abroad to study more.

On the one hand, the advantages of studying oversea have never been exaggerated. The insights that a oversea students gain from studying outside his native country might be the most precious treasure. Living in an entire different environment where posses distinguish ways of thinking and ways of doing, people could obtain the fresh idea about everything. For example, Chinese people are always categorizing in the most conservative countries, some Chinese parents sent their children to studying in some developed countries to study their new ideas and experience diverse life. After graduation, those oversea students come back to China to contribute to the construction of society, which facilitates the fast developing of the country. This phenomenon has become a new trend since people stepped into the new information era.

On the other hand, in addition to the merit of broadening one's horizon, another obvious advantage is to exchange opinion of among distinct countries. Different students discuss one topic in different ways; everyone would have a better understanding of other countries. Besides, things like learning another language, enhancing the awareness of independence, travelling more places and so on, have make studying abroad more attractive.

However, like every other newly established phenomenon, this trend has some demerits no one could deny. People who against the idea of going oversea believe that people would encounter culture conflict and feel lonely, which end up with paying less attention on studying as well as being forced to leave the destination country. It is true that somebody have cultural different experience when they first step out of their own nation, nonetheless, with the fast growing students live abroad to study, it maybe true that could means that the culture problems factor has reduce its influence in the choice of going oversea for university. The new generation is capable of adjusting themselves to unfamiliar living condition than the older generation. That is one of the reasons why students leave their parents to strange countries at a younger age.

In conclusion, individuals could not judge a newly phenomenon only by its one aspect of merits or demerits, not everything has its pure advantages and disadvantages. From my perspectives, although there are some drawback conditions about studying abroad, in a large extent, I approve of the idea studying abroad because of the insights and amazing experience people would obtain.

Writing Feedback / People should place emphasis on improving the skill of working within groups, not independently [3]

topic:Is it more important to be able to work with a group of people on a team or to work independently? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

Even though it is truth that it would have a greater sense of achievement to individual when doing by themselves own, people in every workplace tend to be more likely to talk about working in a team and building a good team. In my opinion, in most cases, it's more important to be able to work with follow members even if working within a group means to give up their personality and independent thinking.

First of all, under some circumstances where the ability to work with group is much more important than that to work independently. More often than not, in most fields, a team can achieve much more extensive scope than an individual can, as the proverb goes that two heads are better than one. In that situation, in order to make organizations function as a whole, people have to make some self sacrifices. It would be lead to a disaster if one of the members fail to make effort to the team.

Moreover, in a real business world, to some extend, work could not be accomplished without others' help. The ever-increasing society has created network of all lines of working people universally and join individual commitments to a group effort. Any link's negligence would influence the ultimate result. Without teamwork, it's virtually impossible for people to reach the heights of their capabilities or make the money that they want to make unless they know how to work together like an orchestra.

Last, but not the least, it's society's need that force people to have a ability to interact with others. Today's increasingly global economy places a premium on teamwork. For example, modern companies desire to expand their business consider teamwork is a essential skill. Teamwork has become so valued that many large corporations have developed specific tests to measure potential employees' teamwork abilities. If one applicant can do well by himself but couldn't communicate with others, the employer would not accept him.

In conclusion, as I mentioned early, taking into the three primary reasons above, it's undeniable that people should place emphasis on improving the skill of working within groups rather than shutting the door and doing work independently.

Writing Feedback / toefl - It is the truth that not all people can do the things they like all the time. [4]

topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

It is the truth that not all people can do the things they like all the time. The fact is that people have to do something they dislike when pursuing their goals or realizing their dream.

On the one hand, people live in a world which not everything is perfect, in some cases, individuals would found that things that are necessary are not always enjoyable, as well as things that are enjoyable sometimes may be unnecessary. People might do things they dislike but it might be indispensable for individual success, that is to say, they have to do those things to accomplish their goals. Olympic champion had to practice more than 12 hours when they were still teenagers, which sometimes out of being compulsory. Those seemingly cruel hardships had turned out to be the best gifts years later. As a old saying goes that but for yesterday's struggle, today's glories could not exist.

On the other hand, something dislike things, to some extend, would benefit us economically and mentally. For example, when it comes to study, some students may dislike some curriculums in university, such as mathematics or history, but they are necessary, both beneficial for their career and individual minds. In that case, they have to do things they dislike. Another example is, people overweight have to do sports everyday for the purpose of losing weight, they sometimes have a feeling of compelling and painful, especially for those oversized body have threatened to their lives. The list will go on and may be an endless one.

Moreover, doing unwilling things would contribute to their financial concern. It is undeniable that people could not always seek jobs that suit their needs, or have a close link with their major. It turns out that they have to choose to work as a salesman, accountant, economist, jobs that have little relationship with their initial thoughts. In other words, they do these jobs for making the money for the sake of family rather than accomplishing their own dream.

As I mentioned before, pursuing a successful life is nothing more than making wise decisions, by "wise" we mean the choice of doing the necessary first, not the most enjoy one.

Writing Feedback / TEACHER or SELF? I would prefer to learn by myself [3]

Toelf topic: Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons to develop your essay.

When it comes to whether having a teacher when people are trying to learn something, some might choose to have one, while others, would like the way of self-study. Personally speaking, I would like to learn by myself, even if some benefits exist having teachers.

In the first place, learning by oneself would give people more freedom. Teachers would prefer to give people knowledge by forcing students to study in the way they planed. In this case, some students have mastered the part of knowledge have to follow their teachers and lose lot of time. The lost time would have been spent in studying the subject they are not familiar with, as well as the amount of time could be used to learn more knowledge.

At the same time, studying on their own is a key factor in the daily life of people. Since we have entered a fast growing society, an increasing number of talents have made the already competitive job market more fierced. People who want to have decent salaries have to learn more skills prepare for the future. Individuals could not always ask teachers for help because of the limited time in a intensively developing world, at that moment, a employee who possess a self-study conscious would become more competence.

However, in some cases, people have to rely on teachers to establish their foundation of study. In other words, teachers are in great demand when individuals are desire to learn something they have never stepped into or areas are in the greatly need of professional knowledge. For example, if a student is going to be a doctor, then he will study with a teacher rather than studying by himself.

Briefly speaking, as I mentioned before, whether people should study with teachers or just learn on their own, I would prefer to learn by myself, for the reason I could arrange my own time and that skill also contribute to my future career.

Writing Feedback / (more time for relationship and health care) - A job with more vacation time? [NEW]

Topic: A job with more vacation time is better than a job with high salary but less vacation time

As the wheels of the social development speed up amazingly, some people extol the merits of jobs with more vacation time, while others hold the view that jobs with high salary but less vacation time are more attractive. From my standpoint, I would like to choose a job with more vacation time, even it means a less paid.

The uppermost account that would gain credence is that people could have leisure time spent with their friends and family. The relationship between family and friends would have never abate, no matter how fast the world develops. People surrounded by work all days would have less time sharing with their family, which might lead to the increasing divorce rate and the decreasing family happiness index to some extend. Reports from the newspaper or magazines demonstrated that thousand of hundreds of couples have to resort to the court as the result of their wife or husband could not extract tiny time from working. The most successful person in the world are not only good at making money but also aware of balancing working and family. Like Bill Gates and Linda, their successful family relationship has brought a huge admiration in the world.

Another important aspect considered derives from the committing to a health condition. People work in busy schedule companies sometimes would suffer form stress-related illnesses, such as high blood pressure, ulcers and fatigue, since they have to sacrifice their off-work time to meet the needs of organizations. On the contrary, a job with less salary but has more flexible time means you can have your time on your own. This would benefit both the company and the employees, it helps employees to live a happier life as well helps to boost their morale and enhance employee commitment the company. As the old saying goes, money is not everything.

Moreover, people would choose jobs with more vacation, to some extend, they want to make use of the leisure time for traveling. The phenomena are often observed in some modern cities, especially prevailing among younger people. These special populations would choose jobs which are not having tight schedules but could afford their daily lives, then they would spend their free time either visiting a far away village or meeting with other people having a different culture. The new way of lifestyle seems to gain popularity nowadays.

In conclusion, as I mentioned earlier, time could be spent strengthen the interpersonal relationship, a guarantee of sound health condition, and free time for traveling, these three main reasons would be explained my choice of a job that not paid well but providing more vacations.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL: Does Television destroy our bonds with friends and family? [6]

Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

It seems that the main entertainment after working and studying for some people is to throw themselves into a sofa and enjoy the rest of a day, keeping away themselves with outdoor socializing. Consequently, some critics claim that television has destroyed communication among people. Although television has been somewhat harmful in its effects, I hold the view that it has hardly "destroyed" communication among friends and family.

The advert of television, on the one hand, actually provides people topics that can be discussed in their leisure time. To some extend, it has increased the communication among people. A diversity of programs on the screen makes the lives of people more colorful. Titanic had brought a worldwide uproar by its extolling and of fascinating immortal love, audiences would exchange their feeling when they meet, which giving them a difference of perspectives as well as enhancing the relationship between people.

On the other hand, the communication among individuals is influenced by a various of factors, and it is hardly to assert that it was television that inhibited the interaction of people. Human beings are nowadays exposed to a vast amount of information source, such as internet and telephone, even though television still plays a significant role in people's daily lives, others mass media have invaded people's life and granted people more choices. It is also found that the number of people traveling has gone up faster and faster, which means people would rather spend their leisure time traveling with their family or friends. This trend, as far as I am concerned, could be a reminder that the emotional exchange of people has been forged.

Admittedly, television would bring some bad impacts, which some people could not escape. For instance, too much spending time watching television would cause some people another day waste, they shut doors and immerse themselves into programs. In this case, these people might be decrease their time spent with family. However, it seems to me that even television were not existent, surely these people would have found other escapes.

In conclusion, as I mentioned earlier, people have very little time for anything today in modern society, television is merely among many other factors that affect communication, and is definitely not the main cause of degradation. Therefore, I do not agree that television has destroyed communication among friends and family.

Writing Feedback / "to consider the limitation of parents" -Parents are the best teachers? [2]

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Parents are the best teachers?

When it comes to the question that who are the best teachers of children, some people claims that in most cases parents are definitely the best teachers children have, since parents are generally the most involved in the development and education of their children. Others, including me, argue that parents could be play a key role in children's livers, however, it's a little hasty to say that parents are the best teachers.

On the one hand, social environment would have impact on the children's lives. We could not deny that parents would be influence our personalities and behaviors in the first years, which might be still last in our entire lives. Nevertheless, as children grow, they sometimes would be live apart from their parents and other family members. Actually, teenage spend more time with classmates, teachers, and all kinds of individuals outside the campus. with expanding social intercourse and increased interpersonal skill, they might be change their characteristics and behaviors in the influence of others, making their own decisions and building their own lives. In that cases, parents are not their best teachers, it's society that are the best teachers.

On the other level, parents might qualified as good teachers at the first, while they could not be the best ones in the entire of children's lives. For example, when children are in the preliminary school, it is not surprising that parents are capable of teaching their children almost every subject even better than professional teachers in the school. Yet the situation will not last long. We live in a world where knowledge is accumulated by multiplying speech and at the same time becomes increasingly specialized. Therefore, to be a professional in a certain field today takes much longer time than ever before. Parents could not be expertise in all fields, although they might be experts in one or more fields.

In one words, parents are good teachers in children's lives, they are considered to be guiders to their children, helping their children much, as well as instinctively devoting themselves to cultivating their offspring. As I said above, we could not haste to assert that all the parents are the best teachers, we have to consider the limitation of parents themselves and the effects coming from our society.

Writing Feedback / toelf essay- Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable [NEW]

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Reading fiction (such as novels and short stories) is more enjoyable than watching movies. Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position..

Since the appearance of movies, people seems to spend more time in watching movies than reading traditional novels, even a majority of movies are adapted form novels. While some people today tend to favor reading novels instead of watching movies because they think it's more enjoyable. As far as I'm concerned, although reading novels has so much fun, I still more likely to choose watching movies.

First of all, movies enable to give us a sense of immerse, gripping our minds deeply, and permit us imagining to be one of leading roles. Thanks to the gorgeous effects, special photography skills, proper scene and superb performance ability of actors, people could have better understandings of the novel, with those advanced technologies, psychological activity of roles could also be clearly presented in the eyes of audiences. For example, some people like to read Harry Potter, especially children and youths, but they eventually would choose go to theaters to watch film version, allowing them screaming and laughing. This effect is less found during reading a novel edition.

Moreover, watching movies make us understand long stories in a shorter time, time is really precious for people who live in a busy society, the appearance of movie allow people could understand a lot of novels in limited time. Students are more likely to have option to see the movie classics not the lengthy novels. Employees prefer to watch some shorts films by digital products when they travel to work on the subways or trains. By doing this, people could spend time enjoying other interesting things.

In the end, reading a novel sometimes means you have to do just yourself, on the contrary, watching a movie is a thing that you can share immediately you're your friends. Watching the same movie, people together would communicate with each others, discussing and enjoying happy moments. At the same time, people together might accept different ideas and thoughts would also will be improved.

Writing Feedback / toelf-A transportation vehicle that has changed people's lives. [6]

Choose one of the following transportation vehicles and explain why you think it has changed people's lives.
Automobiles; Bicycles, Airplanes

A transportation vehicle that has changed people's lives.

The invention, production and distribution of the automobile have radically altered people's lives more than any other transportation inventions have done. There are many different ways in which automobile changed human life, as the following statements.

One of the most significant changes that owing cars makes the travel time shorter and promotes communication among people. Before automobiles industry, people who want to travel from one area to another have to walk a thousand miles, even though as times went by they realized they could train horses and some livestock as tool of transportation, we could not deny the fact that these forms of transportation had inhibited the trade development among countries and the lines of communication in that time. In some areas, people lived in a poor life of condition and knowing little about the outside world from one generation to another generation, resulting that undeveloped economy. None the less, things began to change thanks to the beginning of automobiles revolution, advanced transportation vehicles being readily available, humans could easily get to another city within days with lower expenses, it definitely kept the lines of communication open and stimulated the trade grows, it's hardly to ignore the rapidly growth of economy which brought by owing cars now.

Meanwhile, the development of modern transportation has also made goods available to citizens and much less expensive. In the past, eating fruits that were cultivated in other area seems to impossible for a average family or only could be afforded by the privilege of imperial household, since goods could be transported only by primitive tools such as carriages, Due to the advancement of modern transportation system, it has become easier to transport goods from areas to areas, has also made goods in local market more accessible to people, naturally, lower the cost of transporting.

Moreover, automobiles also provide people with more alternatives of entertainments. Those who owing cars might choose to enjoy their holiday near their hometown because it's convenient for them to go there. They don't need to worried about the coming tasks and other emergencies; they can drive to a place like a quite lake district or a small mountain village to escape the busy and noisy of city life for a moment, then go back to work within hours. This new way of entertainment liberates people who has tired of chatting in the bar, dealing with varies complex network of interpersonal relationship, giving people a chance to immerse into the beauty of our natural scenery.

In conclusion, although some would put the disadvantages of automobiles on the table, like the pollution of emission gas, the noise of engine, and the crowded of the traffic and so on, the significant of its great contributions we could never shrug off, weighing the pros and cons of automobiles, I still hold the view that the automobile that has changed people's lives.

Writing Feedback / Toelf: Never, never give up (to keep trying and never stop working for your goals?) [2]

The expression "Never, never give up" means to keep trying and never stop working for your goals. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Never, never give up.

Near the end of the Second World War, Churchill delivered his most famous and the shortest speech: Never, never give up. The British and people in many countries were tremendously encouraged, and finally went through the hardest period in human history. People today still treat this saying as a truth in their daily lives, while as the time goes by, some people become more and more confused about it. From my perspective, in most cases, the belief "Never, never give up" is really something that we should always bear in mind.

In the first place, we could never deny that "Never give up" present a positive life attitude, people who harbors it would has a hope for future. We can learn from newspapers or television programs that the last survivors in earthquake always are those who have a strong faith of never give up. Because of this faith, they can think out all kinds of ways to overcome hunger and cold, waiting the arrival of the rescue team. None the less, there were some people who were rescued were ready to quit because they couldn't endure the sadness of the lost of relatives and the difficulties of future lives. Such people usually become upset and disappointed and lose their self-confidence in the end.

At the same time, such strong belief would often give us the second chance. The fact that we failed somewhere doesn't mean we are going to fail everywhere. More often than not, those who history best remembers were faced with numerous obstacles that forced them to work harder and show more determination than others. Vincent Van Gogh: During his lifetime, Van Gogh, sold only one painting, and this was to a friend and only for a very small amount of money. While Van Gogh was never a success during his life, yet he never gave up, he plugged on with painting, sometimes starving to complete his over 800 known works. Today, they bring in hundreds of millions.

Even today, some people say we should abandon this belief, since we have stepped into a world where overflowing with a various of opportunities. But for me, as to keeping doing one thing, if we know exactly what we want and make sure that our clearly defined goals are achievable and practicable, we have no reason to give up, even we might fail again and again. Therefore, in most cases, we should always bear the belief "Never, never give up ".

Writing Feedback / How to deal with a gift of money ? [4]

Imaging that one day I were to be given a gift of money which enough to purchase a jewelry or a concert ticket ,Instead of spending it at one time ,I would use it as a wiser way .

First of all. my mother always tell me that don't spend your money frivolously, so the first thing I want to do is to put aside a percentage of it in bank. Since we can never tell what will happen in the future, saving moneyguarantees that unexpctted things. For example, When disaster strikes, like a sudden illness occurs in the family, having money in hands can mean the difference between life and death. If we don't have enough money at hand, we can only turn to friends or family for help which have become less possible in our times.

Another choice is choosing a short-term travel. I would prefer to go hiking in a mountain small village or a small unknown town which has different living custom from the city where I lived. I like travelling because of making friends with all kinds of people, which would make me knowlegable and broaden my horizon. The most importance thing, I think, is that by travelling you can improve a great number of useful skills. For example, when I travel alone, I have to learn how to cummunicate with local people, even have to learn how to speak another language, things like that, which would improve my interpersonal relationship in my future career.

In the end, a gift of money also can be used in the way that helps a student who cannot affort to schoool. I have heard many news about those poor students have to quit their schools because of lacking tuition fees. For instance, in my city, money that can buy a jewerly or a ticket of concert which can cover a average student two months for living.

Anyway, as I mentioned above, a gift of money for me should be used in a wise way like saving, travelling and helping other rather than just enjoying it by wasting.

Spend your earned money immediately or save it for future ?

People always happy about what they have earned by working , some people prefect to spend it all at once ,while others, like me ,want to save it as planned for future use .

First of all ,we will never tell what would happen next , so saving money means we can use it when emergencies .For example ,in today's society , we can never deny that medical fee has become one of the biggest financial problem a family faced with . If one has a surgery or even some little health problem , that saved money can be a great help .Especially it has become a impossible thing to borrow a great of money form colleagues .

Except that , saving money is also a good way to increase the number on our bank account . Taking a example ,nowadays ,we could find out that white-collar workers have become more and more aware of the importance of saving money . They shuttle between banks or stock markets .and it turns out that some people who excel to manage finances finally make a fortune .

In the end ,if we use up our earnings immediately ,we couldn't find extra money to support our future family . Reports and news have always come into us that an increasing number of the 80's generation have to depend on their elderly parents to support their own family .Those poor parents struggled for years and years would have enjoyed the rest of their lives but failed to have to spend all the savings they have to help their sons or daughters. everyone should feel sad about the news .One of reasons why it would happen that is because our new generation lacking of sense of responsibility and have no idea of saving money .

As I mentioned above, it dose that we can use some of our earnings to enjoy our life , however , just keep in mind that do not spend it all immediately , save it for your future is a moderate way for your future life .

Thank you !
