			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi friends,<br />
<br />
evaluate my essay and grade it please<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">“Is social and technological change generally a good thing?”</font></font></b><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">When comparing our present life with the one a few decade before, we have changed both socially and technologically . I think these changes are good for the following reasons . </font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">When comparing the two changes we will talk about the change in technology first. Is there a problem with technology? I would say “No”. Technological changes right from the toaster we use to prepare our breakfast till flights , which makes us reach any part of the world in minutes, makes us realize how fast we are when comparing to the older times. Technology has definitely made our lives better . We seem to adapt to all these changes very well. I think the development in communication which is the biggest change in technology , has only made us to understand each other better.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">This understanding has developed more ideas and different opinions on issues, which has made us make a few changes socially. I see that, the blind customs and rituals which was followed in the past has made us think the importance or the foolishness of it. Even behavior of people has refined. I think all the social changes had only made us a better civilized society.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Even though we feel at some place the changes has made us a little mechanical and also selfish. I think it is not right to blame the technology nor society as a whole for that . I think it is the people who should start to have better attitude to handle the changes. </font></font><br />
 <br />
 <br />
<br />
thank you</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi,<br />
I am new here. I don't want to bother you, but I really need someone who could give me some advice about my essay.<br />
This is one of the first I wrote.<br />
 <br />
Thank you in advance.<br />
 <br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><b>Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human</b></font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><b>activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to</b></font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><b>live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support</b></font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><b>your answer.</b></font></font><br />
<br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Over the years, a big debate has developed around the theme of human activity and sustainability.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri"> In my opinion human activity contributed to make the Earth a better place to live because it has provided human beings with all the means they need to improve their living conditions. </font></font><br />
<br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Thanks to human activity and evolution of science and technology, over the years mankind has learnt how to make the most of the natural resources available on Earth, in order to satisfy its needs.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Human activity has helped people to overcome long distances, to build safe houses, to develop industrial activities which produce huge amount of basic goods.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">For example, the practices of agriculture and farming allow people to have available food. Then, the construction of routes, bridges, and transport means such as cars, planes allow to connect different geographic areas.</font></font><br />
<br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Nevertheless, the consequences of all these activities are not only positive. In fact,  over the years, people often haven’t considered the impact of their activities on the environment and have exploited natural resources as if they were endless, regardless of the damages they were causing.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">For example, the spread of cars and other transport means fueled with oil caused air pollution. Also, rubbish produced by industries caused serious consequences on the quality of water.</font></font><br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">Moreover, entire forests have been destroyed in order to produce paper regardless of replacing new trees.</font></font><br />
<br />
<font size="3"><font face="Calibri">In conclusion, even if human activity is fundamental and has made Earth a better place to live, we need to draw our attention to the consequences of our actions on the environment and be more concerned on sustainable practices. This means that we should change our habits, waste less, recycle more, in order to preserve the future of the next generations. </font></font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><b><font size="3"><font face="Calibri">103. In your opinion, what is the most important characteristic (for example, honesty, intelligence, a sense of humor) that a person can have to be successful in life? Use specific reasons and examples from your experience to explain your answer. When you write your answer, you are not limited to the examples listed in the question. </font></font></b><br />
 <br />
 <br />
 <br />
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">When it comes to the problem that how to achieve success, different people has different opinions. Some people argue that honesty is a necessity to be successful in life, just imagine if someone always cheats to others, then no one will believe what he says and does, he may never have any opportunity to get help from others, finally, he will fail in life. Other people believe that it is a sense of humor rather than other characteristics that plays the most important role on the way to success. From their point of view, a sense of humor will make a person in a group much easier to be accepted by others, so his suggestion is more likely to be adopted and the person will get success without much difficulty. </font></font><br />
 <br />
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">As is shown above, honesty, intelligence, and a sense of humor are important factors to success. However, to be successful in life, one should be diligent, that is, s/he must work hard.</font></font><br />
 <br />
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">For one thing, working hard can enable one to focus on the target he sets. I like to start working or study by setting up a target and then pursuing it by working hard. Sometimes, when I face difficulties, I would stop there for a long time and just keep thinking whether it is worthy of continuing, then probably, I find I will be distracted by something else and forget my target entirely . This will undoubtedly lead to failure. On the contrary, if I keep on digging, I believe I will find the solution in the end.</font></font><br />
 <br />
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">For another thing, working hard helps one to make a good preparation for success. The more we study, the more knowledge can we have. Take my job-hunting for an example, my major is mechanical engineering. Only if I have learned CAE (computer aided engineering) could I find a high salary and competitive job, otherwise, I would have to stay in a stable but low salary institute in mechanical field. So, just as the old Chinese saying &quot;opportunities are for those well prepared&quot; goes, only by working hard can we recognise and grasp chance when it ever comes.</font></font><br />
 <br />
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Finally, people are willing to help industrious one. Because industrious people seem more promising than those lazy ones, people are more ready to help these industrious ones. Thus, people working hard are more inclined to get others' attention so as to succeed.</font></font><br />
 <br />
<font face="Calibri"><font size="3">To sum up, diligent people can get more attention and help from others, prepare well enough for success, and focus on the target. Diligent people’s persist efforts will finally get paid.</font></font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>In the lecture, the professor made several points about the banning of smoking. The professor argues that banning smoking will not hamper the right of the smokers rather it will protect the rights of non-smokers. However, the reading contends that banning smoking in open places and in the hotels and bars will hamper the rights of the smokers who pay lots of money to the government as tax, and to support this contention the reading cites several examples. The professor's lecture casts doubt on the reading by using several points and examples that are antithetical to the reading's theory that smoking will hamper the rights of the smokers. <br />
  <br />
  First of all, one of the theories that the reading described is that it takes 20 years for direct smokers develop cancerous malignancy, and for the indirect smokers it takes 40 years. So, reading concludes that the statistics are suspected. However, the professor refutes this theory stating that cancer is not the only disease that is caused for smoking, but there are other diseases such as hear attack. After quitting smoking about 40% chance of heart attack reduces. <br />
  Additionally, the reading claims that banning smoking in bars and clubs will reduce the revenue those businesses dramatically.  Nevertheless, the professor disagrees with this claims uttering that there will another places for the smokers to smoke such as home, open places, and those businesses can actually increase their revenues by attracting non-smokers to their bars. So, the reading is untenable.<br />
  <br />
  Finally, the reading holds that the smokers pay lots of money as tax to the government; therefore, to ban means to betray with them. Still, the professor opposes this holding saying that banning smoking is not hampering the rights of smokers rather it is the protection of the rights of non-smokers. <br />
   <br />
  <font face="&amp;quot">In sum, from the discussion above it can be easily concluded that the reading has failed to consider some factors on the basis of which the professor criticizes the reading.<br />
<br />
Would any one rate my essay? <br />
Thanks.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>College and university education should be available to all students or should be available only to good students. Discuss the view. Which view do you agree with. Explain why.<br />
<br />
Here is my essay:<br />
<br />
 No one can deny the importance of education. Education help us to gain sufficient knowledge to succeed in life and to live well in this booming world of information and technologies. Education also contributes a lot to the development of a country. However, from my point of view, it is not necessary to let college or university education be opened to all students, in fact, only qualified students should get admission to universities or colleges.<br />
<br />
 The first reason for my opinion is for the own good of the students. In high schools, students are informed with basic and general knowledge but in colleges or universities, the knowledge will be much more in depth and a lot more difficult to grasp. So if unqualified students still have opportunities to attend universities, they will have to struggle really hard to past tests and exams. And if they fail, the results will be even more detrimental, these students may end up losing faith in themselves or being forced to leave universities in the middle of their study despite all the money, time and effort they have put in it.<br />
<br />
 Secondly, from my observation, the target of many high school students is getting admission to universities or colleges. If university and college education is available to any students then many of them won't be motivated and won't try their best to study many subjects which will the the foundation for the knowledge that they will study later . And the consequence of that is a lot of students will face more difficulties studying at universities or colleges.<br />
<br />
 My third reason is that when college or university education be opened to all students, the number of students will increase. We all know that college or university education is very costly so if a country does not have enough fund or resources, an increased number of university students may result in a decline in the quality of education. In this case, both the students and the country will suffer.<br />
<br />
 Last but not least, a bachelor degree is and important indicator in the job market of many countries, my country is one example. If a large number of applicants have bachelor degrees then it will be harder for recruitment staff to sort out the qualified applicant for a job position. This will also lead to an even more competitive job market.<br />
<br />
 To sum up, although education is an important part of human life and is the foundation for the prosperity of a country, college and university education should not be available to all students because this may put a lot of pressure on unqualified students as well as on the education system and on the job market.</div>

 <br />
Thank you for helping me, I have to test in the next week.<br />
:p<br />
-------------------------------------------------------------<br />
 <br />
 <br />
<font color="black">We all work or will work in jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker (Someone you work closely with)? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important. <br />
------------------------------------------------------------<br />
A co-worker is very important in every workplace. In fact, it is the one of key factors that is used to make the decision about prolonging work. Many people decide to leave their jobs because they are uncomfortable with their colleagues. From my experience, I like to work with an open-mined, optimistic and responsible co-worker. <br />
<br />
An open-minded people always accept the new idea and opinion. This characteristic will lead to the innovation or the creative idea which bring many advantages to the company. Conversely, people that are obstinate and restrict only one side always disagree with other people idea. As a result, this kind of people can make the company grow slowly and will be the obstacle of the company development. <br />
<br />
Secondly, I like to work with the optimistic people. These people always make the workplace enjoyable. Every problem, in fact, has the two side aspects i.e. bright and dark side. The optimistic people will pinpoint the benefit of the problem. Thus, this way can encourage other people around them to feel about the good things or advantages that they will receive, not only the bad impacts which make them depressed.<br />
<br />
Finally, the last quality that the best co-worker must have is responsibility. A responsible people will take care their jobs. They will not procrastinate their works. Therefore, other people’s job will be not affected, and all entire works will be delivered on time. Then, the company will gain trust and credit from their customers. Indeed, whether company is flourish depends on the trust and credit from these customers.<br />
<br />
Actually, there are many characteristics that are very important for the colleagues. But for me, if I can choose, I would like to work with the open-minded, optimistic and responsible person. This people will make me work easily and effectively.<br />
<br />

   <u>Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums?</u><br />
   <br />
Museums are of big importance being institutions of language, history, geography, history and culture in general. Even if people nowadays tend to be not as interested in cultural aspects as generations before have been, it is relevant to ask whether people still visit museums today, especially if they get to a new place they have not been before. I can think of at least three reasons why people visit museums. <br />
   <br />
The first reason is that visitors, getting to a new place, are interested in informing themselves about this place. This aspect especially refers to historical questions of the place the museum visitor has travelled to. For example when I was in Egypt three years ago, I visited the national museum, located in Cairo, in order to get information about how the state of Egypt was organized about 500, 1000 or even 2000 years ago. However, not only did I visit the museum to learn about Egypt’s history but also about economic aspects, for example the importance of oil in the past as well as in the present. Being of the opinion that intercultural communication, especially based on informing oneself about the history of a place, is very important, I think that this is a main reason for people to visit museums when travelling to new places.<br />
   <br />
The second reason is that visiting museums means having fun for many visitors. That is because museums can show things such as sculptures or maps which visitors have not seen in their life, yet. Thus, the new place does not only offer them the opportunity to get information about the place itself, as described in the first paragraph, but also to get away from a monotone life with much routine. For myself this aspect was a quite important one as far as my visit of the Egyptian National Museum is concerned. Interested in culture very much, it was fun to see pictures of sculptures or pharaohs I have only read about in books before. Of course this reason is strictly related to your own interested. Nevertheless having fun, relaxing and trying to do something new, is very important when visiting a museum, located in a place you have not been before. <br />
   <br />
The third reason for people visiting museum when they travel to new places is connected to the first reasons which I would like to summarize with the noun “intercultural communication”. However, whereas the first paragraph deals with history, you should also recognize that you get in contact with many other people of other places when visiting a museum in another place. For example you can talk to people from the country the museum is located in as well as to people who just travel to this place. This seems to be a very important point since natives are not always happy with tourists just getting to their native country in order to go to the beach or to stay in the hotel. By visting a museum, the travellers could show the natives their interest about the natives’ country which will make them happy since they can recognize that having holidays also means getting in contact with natives. So this reason seems to be more important than the one mentioned in the first paragraph with regard to “intercultural communication” since the visitors are not only interested in the history of the country but also in the habitants of the country.<br />
   <br />
All in all, there are at least three main reasons which you should pay attention to when answering the question why people who travel to a new place often visit museums. Whereas two reasons are related to the communication between cultures, in the first case regarding history and culture in general, in the second case regarding the habitants of the country, there is also the reason that you will enjoy in a museum, if you are interested in culture and meeting new people. Consequently, there are not any reasons which you can relate to every visitor as the visitor himself, especially his own interests, are of big relevance when talking about his reasons to visit a museum in a place he has travelled to.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>[FONT='&amp;#23435]It is better for students at university or college to choose difficult classes even if they can not get top grades. Do you agree or disagree the opinion. [/font]<br />
<br />
[FONT='&amp;#23435]Currently, an expanding number of experts point out that the stressgful works, which is the source of pressure, contribute directly to unhealthy study among college students. Obviously, people can easily recognize the negative effect by joining the difficult course, if the confidence of study and the average points of the full subjects are taken into consideration. For my part, I completely support the experts' view of the course, and the persuadable examples will be presented to consolidate my position in the next step.[/font]<br />
<br />
[FONT='&amp;#23435]In the first place, it is apparently that the student will lose the interest in the subject which they spend much time on and still fail to conquer . To be more specific, it is the failure that give rise to reduce the power of learning. As a illusion, when I was in my senior high school, I obtain a chance to participate a literature course on behalf of my class, it is definitely a challenge for me. In period of it, I threw myself into the library for searching materials everyday after class and file the stuff in the night, moreover, I recite the articles with my classmates very often. Ultimately, It just a C in my finally exam, I feel really shamed with it. From that time, I have not touch the course linked to literature for almost four years. From this perspective, simply can we seize the weak point of taking the difficult class.[/font]<br />
<br />
[FONT='&amp;#23435]One reason for reinforce my standpoint is the decrease of confidence for study, what is more worth noticing is that there will be a few negative influence for all of your class if you take part in the insurmountable lesson. To get a further approach, your average score will be drag down owing to the low score of these course. Meanwhile, you can hardly to surpass you classmates. Take my case as an example, after the literature class, my rank in class just down from ON 5 to ON 24, and because of the cause that I pour the majority of my time on the literature composition, I have no time to build my other subject. So it is a vivid case which shows us the hazardous outcome .[/font]<br />
<br />
[FONT='&amp;#23435]On the other hand, however, we must admit the advantages of these course. Frankly speaking, it is easy for student to establish friendship with other students who gain the same courage for challenging the stuff, which can be see as a contribution for their future to stand in a favorable position in the society. [/font]<br />
<br />
[FONT='&amp;#23435]In the light of above, easily could we choose the side which its benefits overweigh its shortcomings. Hence, I repeat my point that we can not emphasis the significance of the weakness of choosing difficult class to much, anyone who blind it will pay a incredible price.[/font]</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I am going to take my TOEFL very soon. I am in a fix about the writing. I have some questions about the writing section. Would any expert answer my questions?<br />
<br />
1. In case of independent writing, should I take a side? Meaning should I completely agree or disagree? I may debate on the topic. There may have both the sides strong in an issue. And if I discuss both of the sides, and finally conclude that both the sides have merit and on the basis of the factors discussed in the essay, one can't totally say that this one or the other one is better. <br />
<br />
2. Should I use idioms and phrases very often? Is it detrimental for the essay if I use more idioms and phrases?<br />
<br />
3. In case of integrated writing, should I conclude in my own way? <br />
<br />
Thanks for the reply.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><b><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4"><font color="Blue"><font color="red">Thanks to the rapid development of modern society, the movie/TV has been brought into focus recently. </font><font color="red"><br />
The movies/TV have become a most profound way for people to enjoy their lives and art, therefore, it is also a fantastic way to spend time with friends and family. From my personal viewpoint, the behaviour influenced by movies can be divided into 3 segments.</font> </font></font></font></b><b><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="4"><font color="Blue"><br />
<br />
<font color="red">First of all, it is obvious that watching movies/TV is the habit of our lives. </font>In our lives, movies/TV is akin to an invisible stage that could help people to achieve their dreams which couldn't come true in real life. Inside of films/TV, we can soar in the sky and walk in the clouds; Cartoon movies could help children maintain the best moments of childhood. Every time I watch Snoopy or Tom &amp; Jerry, it brings to me the memory of my past that was filled with laughter. That's a fantastic moment.<br />
<font color="red">For another, people like to gain knowledge from watching TV/movies.</font> We have to accept that TV/movies are another primary method of studying some things that we know nothing about it. According to the news about how latter-day people used to study, <u><font color="red">over 56% of people</font></u> now prefer to watch TV/movies for learning; shows such as National Geographic, Discovery, or some shows displaying knowledge, and <font color="red">the number of viewers is still increasing</font>. <br />
<br />
<font color="red">Secondly, TV could educate people in how to take care of the environment, since environmental pollution is a social problem that we can't skirt.</font> As we spend more and more time watching movies and television, we <u><font color="red">are made aware of</font></u> global warming, the Polar Glacier and the mining of natural resources. <font color="red">Therefore,</font> <font color="red">movies and television are akin to an alarm clock which monitors our behaviour. </font>Since my little brother knows people should not drive a lot simply by watching TV, he tries to tell his little friends and family not to drive so much. Taking a bike and walking are healthy and wonderful for keeping the environment pretty.See, that's the power that movies and TV bring to us. Even little children know what to do to improve our environment.<br />
<br />
<font color="red">In conclusion, I’m totally convinced that our lives have been changed deeply and seriously by our watching movies /TV.</font> Not only is it becoming a habit, but watching movies and TV has become an acceptable method of studying, and it is also warning us to do something for our environment.</font></font></font></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. I am appreciate .<br />
Please, give me some advises.</div>
