Mr. Billy...please rate my essay..I have a test tomorrow. I hope the essay topic that I will write about will be as easy as this one..thanks #092: Some people prefer to live in places that have the same weather or climate all year long. Others like to live in areas where the weather changes several times a year. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice. We all have to live in our routines everyday, and it seems like the type of weather we experience everyday seems to have a great effect on our activities of daily living. We wake up in the morning, eat our breakfast, take a shower, go to work, and live the rest of the days with a big old smile in our faces. The weather is an important aspect in our lives that we have to consider in order to live a simple, convinient, healthy life. People prefer to live in places that have the same weather or climate all year long, other prefer to live in areas where the weather changes several times a year. In my opinion, I prefer to live in a place where the weather changes several times a year. There are lots of exciting reasons I would say to support my opinion. First of all, I came from a tropical island in the South East Asia. The weather where I used to live changes about only two times a year. First we have summer, then we have rainy season. Now that I had move here in the United States of America, I would say that the weather is somewhat interesting and fascinating to me because I have the chance to experience different climates in a year. Secondly, the fact that the weather changes several times each year gives us a chance to experience varieties of different atmospheres like for instance, having to play out in the snow during the winter time is so fun that I get to play with my friends out in the snow or learn how to ski for one thing. The winter season also gives me a chance to have that "white Christmas" feeling that I had never experience when I was living in Asia, and it gives me a feeling of fun and joy that I get to feel what it was like to live in place that has a cold weather. Thirdly, not only winter times that gives me the pleasure but also the spring season and the summer season. These changes in weather gives us time to enjoy our outdoor activities and be out in the sun, play with kids or even go to the beach with our family. Lastly, fall season is a great season to see a lot of tress which gives us a feeling that winter is approaching fast and that we have to prepare for the coming of winter and Christmas. These changes of weather each year gives us an experience to look forward to each year. The fact that the weather changes each year gives us the chance to prepare ourselves and think on how it will affect our daily lives especially when we go to work. What type of weather we experiece each day or each season will have an impact to our activities, thus we always have to be prepared as the day goes by. In this case, the weather teaches how to become aware more of the environment and the connection we make with our mother nature. Because of the different types of weather we experience, we learn how to protect ourselves and become more watchful, or observant as we proceed to the end of the day.

#77: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Boys and girls should attend separate schools. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. I do not agree that boys and girls should attend seperate schools. During the old generation, girls were not allowed to attend where boys had to attend school. Like Catholic schools or private schools, for instance, girls were not allowed to have any type of social interactions with the opposite sex. In our modern generation, I would say, having to seperate schools for both boys and girls is not entirely appropriate and unnecessary for the a many reasons. First of all, boys and girls should be alllowed to attend the same school because it will promote better equality between the two sexes. During the old times, girls were not allowed to participate in such activities, hence, there was a misconception that girls were a weaker sex and that girls were only allowed to stay at home and do some indoor activities. Nowadays, because of better equality between the rights of the two sexes, girls are becoming more active in such activities in that they were allowed to participate in sports and other kinds of activites. Thus, it promotes a more sense of well being for girls and gives them more chance to prove that what other boys can do, girls can do also. Secondly, if boys and girls can attend the same school, they will have a better understanding between the difference of one another in terms of their sex and behavior. Moreover, this can promote a healthy socail interactions between the two. During the old days, girls were not allowed to be friends with the boys. Thus, it made the girls become shy and conservative, not allowing the girls to have more freedom to choose for their rights. Thirdly, if boys and girls are to attend the same school, they will have more communication and better relationship with one another. In our modern days, anybody can be friends with an the opposite sex, thus it promotes a healthier lifestyle and a positive environment which really what people need in order to have a good example for the future generations to come. Please rate Mr. Billy..My toefl exam will be tomorrow. I pray that I will be able to get a higher score on the test. Thank you..

To Mr. Billy, I would like to ask if we will be given an extra time to think about and make an outline of examples about the essay which we will be writing about on the actual toefl exam. Are we going to be given an extra time to prepare and think before the clock starts and start typing our essay? Or the time to which we construct our essay is already included in the actual 30 minutes alloted time. Please respond. Thank you very much for your support. Anyone is also welcome to respond if there is any info regarding this inquiry. Have a nice day!!!

Dear Mr. Billy, Please rate my essay and try to make comments on it, or correct my errors in grammar. I would be glad to hear your comments. Anyone is also welcome and can also rate my essay. Thank you. Topic:Which would you choose: a high-paying job with long hours that would give you little time with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details. Based on the statement given above, I would rather choose a high-paying job with long hours that would give me little time with family and friends than a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give me more time with family and friends. There are many reasons why I chose a job which pays more and offers longer hours than a job which pays lesser but offers fewer hours. In our generation, people have to work harder to earn more money in order to survive. Nowadays, members in each families are increasing in number, hence, it imposes each parents to work even harder in order to support their families. A high-paying job with long hours may not give me more time for family and friends but, I would say, I would be able to earn more money in order to satisfy myself and my family. Parents with a large family members often find high-paying jobs to support their families because they find that having to work as part time is not enough to them to support their kids and pay of their bills. These parents who work with high-paying jobs make the most of their time working and being with their families and friends on weekends or whenever they possibly have the chance in spending time with time. They spend their time with their kids as much as they can to catch up with their tight schedules. On the other hand, people who works with a lower-paying job with shorter hours give them more time with their familiy and friends but, the fact that they do not earn enough money, they are not capable of supporting their kids and pay all of their bills well. These people end up seeking financial support from the government, especially those families having a large family member. I would say, they may have to spend more time with their family, kids, and friends but they still end up worrying what to feed their family. These are the problems they are going to encounter if parents work with lower-paying jobs. I would say, high-paying jobs with long hours do still have an advantage over lower-paying jobs with fewer hours because on this kind of generation that we live in, we always have to make sure that we provide enough for our family; giving them enough food, shelter, clothing, and education for them when they grow up. These are the things that we have to consider to prepare ourselves for the future.

[Topic 98: If you were asked to send one thing representing your country to an international exhibition, what would you choose? Why? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice. First of all, every countries has their own specialties which represents their own culture and symbolizes the importance of every ones country. If I were asked to represent one thing for my country in an international exhibition, I would represent a christmas lantern. It has been a tradition to buy or make a christmas lantern in the Philippines every Christmas. These christmas lanterns are made out of bright, different colored papers, and some sticks for its foundation. Christmas lanterns are hang up infront of every Filipinos' houses which symbolizes that Christmas is near. As I had grew up in the Philippines, as I had remembered during my childhood years, I used to get excited every Christmas seasons because me and my sisters would buy some christmas lanterns to hang up infont of our house and watch it glow every night. It gave us the feeling of christmas, joy, peace and love that we all had for each other. Every countries have their own ways to celebrate christmas. Some of the countries may have their own christmas lanterns made out of their own styles and creativity. To represent my country, I would show the world the way Filipinos create their own christmas lantern that has its own unique style and creativity which can only be found in my own native country. I chose chritmas lantern to serve as a representation of my country to show that filipinos trully value the spirit of christmas, and it should send a message to the whole world that we should all give peace, love and joy to one another, not just on christmas day but, for the rest of our lives.
