Writing Feedback / [TOEFL] Always better to do the shopping in the big shopping mall [3]

topic: It is always better to do the shopping in the big shopping mall where people can buy everything there than in small shops only special in certain items.

"To do the shopping in the big shopping mall or not: That is the question." Although a lot of individuals tend to think that we can buy everything in a big shopping mall, I still regard that do the shopping in small shops only special in certain items is better for me.

First of all, people are able to find out special and ingenious items in small shops. Namely, since small shops are only special in certain things, the owner can concentrate truly on those special products and make them become best and one and only. For example, as I yearn to purchase a gift such as a pair of earrings for my beloved girl friend, I can go to a unique handicraft shop to select one for her, but not go to a huge shopping mall. In there, I am able to discover a great variety of earrings made creatively and obtain some special services such as carving my girl friend's on the earrings. Hence, shopping In small shops is still better than in the huge shopping mall.

Secondly, products in the small shops are better and more delicate than in big shopping mall. To illustrate, because the owners of small stores have to choose some unique styles such as Indian or korean styles for their shops to attract a variety of customers, they must provide customers some special and exquisite products linking to themes of their shops; on the contrary, big shopping malls market all kinds of items wholesaled for a large bulk, so they cannot focus on merely one or two products and make them decent and desirable. For example, the purposes of people going to big shopping malls are seeking cheaper and more variable products such as vegetables, meat and commodities, but not for better and more delicate items like sophisticated handicrafts or clothes. Therefore, shopping In small shops is far preferable than big shopping plazas.

Last but not least, do the shopping in small stores is able to have better personal and exclusive services. According to the Time magzine, the most important thing in nowadays service industries is wonderful and intimate services. For instance, as people go into a small shop such as a shoe shop, since there are not a host of customers, clerks can efficiently provide different products for people and interpret variable pros and cons of every products. Moreover ,during the time of selecting favorite products, clerk may give people some water to drink or some snacks to eat. Never will these special services be provided in the big shopping malls because there are tremedous people in there. Accordingly, do the shopping in the small shops is definitely more favorable than in huge shopping malls.

Undeniably, do the shopping in a large shopping plaza may have some merits. For example, people can save a great deal of money and time as they purchase things such as food or commodities there, since things in huge shopping mall are tremendously wholesale, they will give us a cheaper price to buy them. I, however, assert otherwise. Sophisticated and extraordinary products, after all, are the mainstream in society of nowadays.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL- The opinions of celebrities are more important to younger people? [2]

Title; The opinions of celebrities, such as famous entertainers and athletes, are more important to younger people than to older people.

"Whoever controls the media, controls the mind", Jim Morrison, once said. I, yet, consider that whoever controls celebrities of the media, such as famous entertainers and athletes, controls the younger individuals. I, personally, claim that the opinions of celebrities are more important to younger people than to older people.

First of all, younger people often spend most of their leisure time to watch shows and performances of their adoring entertainers and athletes. To be more specific, according to the Time magzine, there are more about "thirty-five percent" that juveniles utilize their relaxing time for watching television programs about their favorite entertainers and athletes than older people. For instance, I am a university student now and when I read newspaper and watch news in the television, I always concentrate on the part of entertainers and sportsmans. Moreover, during every school time, my classmates and I talk about our idols' opinions as well as lives for a long time. Hence, I think most of the younger people are affected by their adoring celebrities imperceptibly and more essential are the sentiments of them to younger individuals than to older individuals.

Secondly, older people usually take no notice of entertainers and athletes. Namely, aged individuals often work hardly and focus truly on their jobs because they have to feed and support themselves and families, consequently, they have petty time to care about celebrities like superstars or excellent sports players.For example, for a normal office staff, they have to work in the office for eight hours and for at least five days a week; they even have to deal with a great many of things after works so that they have little time to pay attention to entertainers and athletes Furthermore, if older individuals have some free time, they are more likely spend their time on politicians' opinions and experts of finance and economics but not famous entertainers and athletes. Therefore, since older people have little chances to get in touch with celebrities' ideas, their opinions are less significant than to younger people.

Last but not least, the ages of entertainers are closer to juveniles than older people. To illustrate, because of the closer age, entertainers are more familiar with what younger people think. As a result, they regard that entertainers know their real thinking and are far more willing to adopt their opinions than their parents or teachers. Besides, younger people usually hold the views that the performances of famous entertainers and athletes such as Mariah Carey's shows are fantastic and desirable, so they admire those superstars and whatever they say are like imperial edict in that they have to obey definitely. Therefore, it is the concepts of entertainers that are even more crucial to younger people than to older people.

Undeniably, the opinions of celebrities may be more important to older people than to younger people in some aspects. For example, older people may listen to warnings of entertainers they love such as that they have to take precautions against con artists and cannot be deceived by them. For another, older people may agree with those athletes they admire like Chien-ming Wang that they must exercise frequently to boost their blood circulation to be healthier. I, however, assert otherwise. Juveniles, after all, spend still more their spare time to watch a variety of performances of their favorite entertainers and athletes than aged people.
