Writing Feedback / Sometimes an event that seems going badly turns out well after all {TOEFL essay} [NEW]

Of course everyone have a such day like the day going worse but turns out well after all. Similarly, I had a day that I wanted to die in the morning but in the rest of the day I became the happiest person in the world.

That day was a year ago which was my birthday. Before that day I was so stirred up and I planned to do my birthday with all my friends in the little restaurant. Even that night I couldn't sleep well.

At least, the day came which I waited so long. I woke up early and started to prepare myself. Firstly I had a morning walk then had a bubble bath after this I dressed up nicely. Then I went to my parents' room to say them "it's the time to go", but unfortunately they had been sleeping and when I woke up them, parents even didn't remember my birthday so came out that they didn't hire any restaurant. I was so upset and started to cry. Instead of apologizing and comforting me mom and dad began to prepare for work.

Soon I called to my friends to come in my home and celebrate my sweet sixteen but they all said couldn't come because they busy for some reason. So that I cried a lot on my special day and damaged all home plants which my mother liked.

In the evening I decided to run away from the house. At the time I went out, in front of my house were a lot of candles with a balloon. Suddenly my friends and parents came out from somewhere, started to congratulate me then we went to restaurant and celebrated my birthday unforgetful.

Last I understood that my parents and friends planned all the day.

Writing Feedback / Grading on exam or grading on participation? [4]

many universities and schools evaluating their students based on both participation and exam. in my opinion it is better to professors to grade their students by an exam and give them available score.

first of all, nowadays almost all universities have large classes which include more than hundred students. in this kind of class each student can't participate on the lesson and can be embarassed to speak ihn front of the children. also professor can't listen all the students who prepared the material because of limit of time.

moreover grading students by exam is more efficient to the professors. they can cognize their students knowledge easily and save a lot of time. for example if professor listen all the studens to grade them he can tire and get sick. also by litening all students hen can get nervous and students who speak their material can get low grades because of the professors contidion.

on the other hand grading students based on exams can be risky. because children can cheat with each other or get a messege from internet as nowadays all students have smart phones and as i told schools have big classes so professor can't watch over all the students. even student can be lucky on the day of exam and get a high score without knowing nothing.

to sum up both statements that course grades based on exam or based on student participation have advantages and disadvantages. but i think professors should grade their students by taking exam which easily for both students and teachers.
