Writing Feedback / TOEFL: Which would you change to improve your health? EXERCISE [3]

Hi everyone! This is my first essay in Toefl English Writing. Could you please give me some suggestions about the structure and the sentences used in the essay. Much appreciated!!

"Which of the following would you change to improve your health: 1. The kind of food you eat 2. The amount of exercise 3. The amount of stress."

Asked what change I would do to improve my health, the response in the amount ofexercise has a boilerplate answer: the greatest contribution of exercises willbe to decrease the rate of several diseases, shape our body and make us moreconfident as well as get relaxed during the part time in order to enjoy abetter lifestyle.

To beginwith, regular exercise, which could decrease the fat in our body and declinethe possibility to get disease, may cause favorable changes of our healthy. Oneproperty of Chinese people eating habits at present is harmful to our ownhealth - we are used to ingested more fat than before. One thing we feel aboutwe always watch TV or surf the internet after having dinner instead ofexercising everyday. Thus, many people who are overweight and who are sufferingseveral diseases, such as high blood pressure and heart disease as well asfatty liver, are emerging around us. To loose the fat and live a better life,the first thing we should take in considerate is to take more exerciseseveryday. For example, my father had fatty liver previously. He started to dosome sports everyday instead of just controlling his diet. One year later, hisdisease was cured and he was more active and energetic than before.

Also,take some sports could equip us with better body shape and help us toaccustomed to perform one thing at a certain time. It is a kind of thing whichcould impel us to accomplish a higher goal and encourage us being moreconfident in the future. An illustrating example is my best friends' experiencethat she sticks to exercise everyday and makes her body in good shape. Finally,she not only makes her body in better shape, but gets more confidence andself-control ability.

Furthermore,doing some sports enables us to enjoy the time when we off work and wear abetter mood to do other things. The better one's mental state is in, the higherefficiency he will approach to. The better one's mental state is in, the higherefficiency he will approach to. Sporting can easily help us to relax their bodyin response toward stress, as well as release extra pressures which areencountered during the work. Finally, we will wear a better mood and be moreefficient to work on. For example, I once tried to do some sit-upsafter doing my homework, being exhausted during the entire process. But laterafter finishing exercising, I felt more energetic and active than the previoustime. Then I went on and concentrated on my working without any distraction.From then on, I insist on taking exercising everyday to maintain my efficiencyof study.

And if we can come together, have a serious, reasoned debate - not driven by prejudice- and come together around common sense and compromise, then I'm confident wewill come to take more exercise to avoid getting diseases and leave behindsomething better for our future life style. If there is anyone out there whostill doubts that taking more exercise could not improve our health, this essayis my answer.

Writing Feedback / Easier-prepared food cannot make a promotion to our own life and even could cause some consequences. [5]

Hi, I'm Rolin, a new comer here.
I am preparing for TOEFL in this days, but writing an essay often makes me disappointed.
Could you give me some advice on my following essay and writing skills?
Thanks a lot!

1. Does easier-prepared food improve the way people live?
Easier-prepared food! Does it save time to do some other things, instead of just cooking for our family after finishing our own work? We can do many other things to broaden our horizon and board of knowledge. But the bigger question is how it could improve our way we live. Generally, when the food spread around, our way of life begins to change. This essay will discuss the issue of how this kind of food can influent our lifestyle.

Let's assume a white-collar get to work every day. H/she always eats a bowl of instant noodles for the breakfast. Even sometimes, in order to save the time which is spent in having breakfast, she usually drink a bag of milk without eat anything. After couples of months pass, she got a stomach. She goes to see the doctor and asks some advice for her illness. The doctor tells her that she must be ignored eating healthy and balanced. Great many easy-food contain a lot of ingredients which is not good for our health and may cause a disease.

Now, after passing the first break point, then comes another one is the concept of a traditional family. We Chinese people do some house-working to develop our relationship with our family. Of course, cooking is a kind of working, too. Constantly, all the family is getting together to cook a meal, during what time they are talking, laughing and listening some other's words. For instance, on the eve of the spring festival, people often prepare for a dinner with their family. They enjoy the time staying with their family, which is created happiness and we always lost ourselves in it. An observation shows that people can obtain a lot of feelings from cooking meal. So, when it comes to this point, one would definitely not want to buy some easier-prepared food, because it makes us lost the time to get together with our family and the opportunity to cook with our relatives. We may not find a better to improve the relationship between our family, and consequently not lead a better way of life.

To sum up, easier-prepared food cannot make a promotion to our own life and even could cause some consequences. In contrary, traditional Chinese food is more superb which plays an essential role in our health and contribute to a better life.
