Question: Do you agree with the statement: There is nothing that uneducated people can teach educated people.
Quote:
There has been controversy about whether uneducated people can teach educated people or not. Different people possess different opinions about this. Personally, I strongly agree with them, who think educated people are, sometimes, can be taught by uneducated people.



Initially, what I put in my priority is the creativity motivation. It is clearly seen that uneducated people are not restrained by the theory taught in schools. They can freely think and analyze about the facts, the phenomena and thus, be able to come up with creative ideas which were hardly achieved by educated people. Moreover, these creative ideas are likely to help the educated professors to develop their curriculum and increase the teaching efficiency. In history, there were many scientists that were not taught in formal schools such as. Clearly, uneducated people can motivate creativity in various areas.

Additionally, skills development holds no less important role. It is apparent that uneducated people were not prepared the skills for their work. They must struggle with it to become success. Thanks to this fact, they can learn important skills that educated may not be taught in schools. This will help them to deal with situations in real life. More remarkably, people stand a golden chance to learn living skills from the uneducated people. They are the people who raised their career from their own hand and hence, they must have good communication skills and relationship skills in order to do well on businesses. This will not only help learners in their career but also their private life. Undoubtedly, skills development is one important thing that uneducated people can teach.




Last but not least, it is the personal enjoyment to learn from uneducated people. Obviously, as they were not taught in schools, they can provide learners with strange but interesting style of teaching. For instance, in the engineering course, they may not teach the students boring theories and techniques in the textbooks but instead, give them real mechanical object and let them to explore it. More interestingly, the study environment can be more fun with the uneducated people to be teachers. They can share their own experiences, how they dealt with problems in the past or their own success. This will both give students precious experience but also easy the study atmosphere. As a result, students can have chance to increase the study efficiency because they like the lessons. Beyond any doubt, being taught by an uneducated person is really an enjoyment.



In conclusion, not only the creativity motivation, the skills development but also the personal enjoyment convinced me to agree that uneducated people can be educated ones' teachers. I hold the strong belief that realizing these points can help learners to have their best choice.

Hi notefull I think you are doing a great job helping us!
I would like you to take a look at my essay.

Question: Pets should be treated like family members.
Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Give reasons to support your opinion.

For thousands of years, humans and animals haved lived together in harmony.
Pets are an important part of many people's lives. Nowadays, some people treat them like another member of their family, others continue considering them just animals. From my view, pets should be considered like family members for several reasons.

The main reason is that a pet is as faithful as any other member of our family. Pets, such as dogs, are always there to help and to attend any of it's owner's needs. For example my dog always cheers me up when I'm sad. He has a especial instinct to flair my sadness. He comes next to me and keeps me company.
There are many other examples of such faithfulness. Actually a french king was saved by his pet, a dog, from an intruder who entered in his palace and tried to kill him. He was alerted because the dog barked and he managed to escape throw a window.The intruder was caut by the king's guards and sentenced to death.
These examples show us that in spite of not being humans, pets can act like our psicologists or our bodyguards.

Another reason is that our pets need as much love and care as any other of our relatives. Dogs cats and even birds feel emotions like happiness and sadness. They can get depressed. For instance, the other day I was waching a television program about a old man who lived with Cucu, his bird. When the man passed away, Cucu refused to eat or drink and died three days later. The veterinay said that the bird got a big depression because he missed his owner.
This sad story shows us that pets have feelings just like any other of our family members.

In sum, pets should be treated like family members because they consider us part of their family. They are faithful with us and can even save our lives. The least we can do in exchange is to consider them one of us.

Hello! Notefull!

I think I saw the video of your ID on youtube about TOEFL speaking section! That was helpful! anyway~

I would like you to check my essay. If you read my essay and comment on it, I will appriciate a lot.

Here's my essay

Topic: Do the books have every information and knowledge?

It is often said that the books offer people to know that they have never done in real life. In fact that statement is true to all people since the book covers almost all of knowledge in learning. However the books cannot offer all the knowledge about the life. The life is full of the emotions and experiences which, of course, the books are not able to teach the people.


First, the emotions are not something can learn from the books. A lot of emotions such as love, angry, lonely, depress, happy are naturally planted into the body of humans. When people feel those emotions, they react based on their emotions. For example, when I felt depressed, I used to search the information about depression. While I searched the information, I still felt depression and those searched information didn’t work well on me. Rather searching the information about the depression, I decided to talk to my parents to ask how to resolve this depression. Then they talked about how life was wonderful and how I was great person. By this conversation I felt great and better and also learned how to control my depression. The controlling emotions are something we learn from people not from the books.


On top of that, the experiences are necessary to all people. Everyone can read the book and get the information about what they want to know. What they want to know differs from what they work on. Especially the medical information is important to the people. All the doctors dissect human body and study by experience. If the doctors study all the medical knowledge only by reading the books, they will not be able to do their medical work on the people. If the doctors undergo those situations for the first time, then they will be shocked as normal people and not be able to perform their skills which can lead the death of one life or more than one. The experiences help the people to be ready and to be prepared to the unexpected accident of the life.


As a conclusion there are something that the people should and can only learn like the controlling emotions and experiences. Even though the books contain a huge information and knowledge, still people cannot learn everything from the books as the emotions and various experiences. The people should go out and communicate to the people rather than just depend on the books. To know differs from the performing.

Hi notefull, would you be so kind to grade my essay? Thanks in advance.

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']You have enough money to purchase either a house or a business. Which would you choose to buy? Give specific reasons to explain your choice.[/font]

Choosing between a house and a business would be quite difficult for me. On one hand, I am very ambitious and I like to live in a climate of constant challenge. Thus, investing in a business seems to fit in my profile. On the other hand, I value stability a lot, and owning a house would be great to serve that purpose. Thus, I will now evaluate the benefits of each option.
Investing in a business would give me the opportunity to grow, both personally and financially. In fact, the challenges faced by someone owning his own business are so many and so complex, that one would, in my opinion, evolve as a person. Moreover, if the business succeeds, one can make sufficient money to guarantee a stable life. There is also, obviously, the risk of failure of the business and, in that case, one would have a very unstable life. Even if one works as hard as possible, the business may fail. There are, indeed, a lot of exogenous factors that determines the success of a business. Thus, one may conclude that investing in a business would be a lottery whose payoff's range is very big. The result of this lottery depends not only on the quantity and quality of the work done by the manager, but also on some exogenous factors.
Owning a house would be quite different from investing in a business. A house would lead to a stable life. If one buys a house, instead of investing in a business, the probability of becoming reach is, of course, lower. Nevertheless, the probability of having an unstable and trouble life is lower as well. Another important difference between buying a house and investing in a business is that the first choice does not guarantee a life where one gets challenged everyday. Indeed, buying a house could lead to a boring life.
As I am, in a way, a risk lover, and because I would, definitely, hate a stable life where one gets no challenges, I would opt to invest in a business.

Hi the topic is "Learning new things should be fun.", i will be appreciated if you take a look to my essay. I am trying to write as much as i can pretend it to your structure. I hope i will succeed.

Human brain executes many diverse operations such as thinking, comparing, experiencing and also undoubtedly learning. There are opposite ideas about if learning new things is an enjoyment or not. Some people claim that whatever we learn something new, we enjoy as well. Other urge that possessing new informations are not always an enjoyable process. In my view, learning new datas is not always a funny thing.

The first reason is that depending on what you will learn, learning may be a tough process. In our world, there is a big variety of information which can be studied and some of these informations are really hard to grasp. For example, in my specialization area which is Computer Science, it is such a long and time-consuming process to learn how an operating system works and it is not funy at all. Because you have to spend many hours to consider which part of operating system is executing even in a simple operation. Studying operating systems represents just one instance of how learning a new thing can not be fun.

The second reason is that the things learnt are sometimes disgusting or sad things. It is clear that in this world, people act many severe deeds while there are still lots of favorable acts. For instance, learning the Second World War is obviously a disappointing study. Since lots of people were killed during the war and it was so harmful for humanity, referring studying about Second World War as enjoyment would be insane and improper. The Second World War just stands as one type of how some of new informations can not bring any good emotions, but sadness.

In sum, if a person learns something new, it does not mean he will enjoy about it. Not only in information universe there are really hard and complicated things to get their point, but also it consists a broad accumulation of cruel actions. Learning is an operation that may bring many different emotions and enjoyment is just one of them.
