Writing Feedback / TOEFL - Factory near your community/ Advantages & Distadvantages [3]

A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support and oppose the factory? Explain your position.

Today, this morning I read an announcement that one of the big Factories is going to be established next to our city in the suburb area. So, I started to think, How could this big factory affect our city positively or negatively?

Starting from the positive points, the first thing came to my mind, establishing a big factory in our community could offer our city population a lot of job opportunity which apparently will decrease the unemployment percentage that my country suffered from; for the recent decade. In addition to solving the unemployment issue, relatively speaking, this factory will contribute and enhance our country economical status and support the income of every individual in my city giving, like the General Motors car manufacturing company in Detroit-Michigan played a very big role in the economic status of that state. So, when this company closed for funding problem the Michigan economical Status has been affected directly and there will a close announcement for Detroit bankruptcy.

On the other hand the disadvantage of having a big factory next to our city, especially if that factory will produce some gases that could be harmful for people's health who live around it. But, that problem could be avoided by studying the location of the factory by specialized people who consider the wind speed, direction and all other harmful aspects that maybe threaten the health of inhabitants who live within a cretin distance .

Finally, I think having a big factory can be advantageous in the cities, which suffer from unemployment and economical problem, if the location and other points were considered appropriately.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL - Impact made by fast food on our lives [7]

Nowadays, food become more easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons ad examples to support your answer

In this rapid changing world and fast rhythm life style, the people started to devote more of their time for work other than any aspect in their life. One of those aspects is the decreasing the time given for preparing he food which made the people face toward he fast food rather than cooking their own healthy meals.

Fast food, as included in its name, is the type of food that going to be ready in few minutes which something all the people nowadays look for under the circumstances of a very competitive environment and a huge work load in their jobs. But, the problem here that the fast food has many side effects that started to be obvious on peoples' health and social life.

Beginning with health problem, which I consider the most dangerous threat of the fast food, all the studies conducted on the people who ate fast food regularly on daily basis , started to gave many health problems, majorly cardiac problems and blood sugar, in addition to the blood level measurements were markedly elevated which predispose those people to a very risky and dangerous disease in the future for example there is a movie called "Supersize Me" which talks about the changes of blood pressure, lipid and sugar changes in the blood of a person who decided to eat McDonalds everyday for 30 days and the results were horrible.

Moving to the next point, which is how the fast food affect our social life. Before the fast food, most of the families used to meet at the dinner time interacting and discussing different life aspects and daily life on the dinner table, but fast food contributed indirectly by making the family gathering hard to be.

Finally, I would say Junk food affected many aspects of our life directly and indirectly. So, recently all the advertisements and media including TV, Radio and all other social media possible are trying to concentrate and focus on the fast food threat and affects.

Writing Feedback / Which source is more important? experience or books? TOEFL iBT [2]

It has been said, " not everything that is learned is contained in the books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained form experience with knowledge gained from books. In you opinion, which source is more important? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer?

Actually, Comparing to important things and trying to choose one of them is really tough. Because in my opinion, it is impossible to gain knowledge from one source, since life is a like a puzzle, every part of this puzzle complete the other part to reach a perfect and complete picture at the end. So, considering knowledge from one source (books alone or experience alone) will not make the person fully understand his field thus most of the medical schools make sure that their students attend 3 years of theoretical subjects gaining knowledge from books and after that, same time (3 years) is being spent rotating in the hospitals to gain enough experience that make them well qualified to treat diseased people in real life.

Another things to mention that confirm the equality of the experience and gaining knowledge from the books that, most of the companies, if not all of them, are heading recently toward choosing most competitive applicants who apply for jobs in their companies, and in all companies consideration , the applicant become more competitive comparing to others when he has in addition to, the high scores in college and the requested exams that make him eligible for job application , is the years of experience he got before applying to that job, and most of the applicants will be dismissed and will not be included in the screening if they did not have enough experience.

At the end, once source knowledge is not enough anymore in our rapid changing world and most of the universities and college trying to add a practical part to their theoretical subject because they realize how much important is providing their student with the experience and it make understanding any educational material easier to understand and even can make the students dive into the fine details of that subject or maybe they could participate one day in discovering more advanced methods or new ideas that was not recognized by others before.

Writing Feedback / 'the life itself'; PARENTS Vs TEACHERS ; Reasons & Examples [5]

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

Getting to know life from one source is almost impossible; Starting from this point I would disagree with the idea that says "parents are the best teachers". Parents always play a very big role in providing us with principles that help us to discover the world but they are yet not the best. For me getting to know life and be familiar with a real world is the sum of multiple teachers: school, experiences and parents.

During school we get the chance to meet different people from different cultures and various backgrounds which help us and determine the way that we have to deal with other people during our life journey and provide ourselves with appropriate manners.

Second thing to mention and considered to be one of the best teachers is the experiences we get during different stages we pass through our life. Starting as mentioned in the previous paragraph (school, collage and University) ending with applying to jobs and starting carrier. Those experiences and getting to be taught by them is limitless, so those experiences keep teaching us new lessons and with every lesson there is something new to learn.

Also, regarding the parents being the best teaches. In my opinion, Parents play a very important role in the beginning of our life by providing us with main things that make us have a tough background which goes with us in every new experience we are going to face during our life trip.

Finally, I can say that the best teacher for anyone in this life is the life itself. But , the biggest issue with life being as a teacher, it gives us the exam first and then we get the knowledge comparing it with other regular teacher we are used to meet in our different educational stages.
