Hi TM friends! This is my third essay posted here. I am more than happy to recieve any of your idea about it! Thanks so much!:o Topic #129: A university plans to develop a new center in your country. Some people want a center for business research. Other people want a center for research in agriculture (farming). Which of these tow kinds of research centers do you recommend for your country? Use specific reasons in your recommendation. My essay: It will be very wonderful news for us if a university plans to build a new research center in our country. Because Vietnam, my home country, is still a developing one, therefore we need many more research center to study thoroughly about the way we should conduct to push up the development of our economy. However, some people may prefer a center for business research while others argue that it should be a center for research in agriculture. Although my country is basically an agriculture nation, I still recommend the choice of a center for business research for my country because of some specific reasons that I will point out in this essay. Firstly, if we have a business research center, we can obtain much more comprehensive knowledge about the global and national economies. This center will bring more chance for our economists to learn about the recent status of our economy and then we can predict the future trend for growing and prepare for it. It will not only help us to find out the future demand on some kinds of products in the world market, but also help us to know which one is the best way to meet that demand in terms of quality, quantity or price of the products. Furthermore, in our country, it is believed that neither our labor force nor natural resources is used efficiently for enhancing our economy. It is a result of lack business information, orientation for development and suitable economic plan. Therefore, with the advert of this center, we will find out ways of curing to overcome these difficulties. Then all of our national resources will be mobilized properly and successfully. Secondly, regarding the center for agriculture research, it will certainly bring about many advantages for our farmers such as helping them to find either sufficient method to cultivate their harvest or new kinds of seeds that will give richer crops. However, although in fact 80 percent of our population is farmers, the total revenue of exporting agricultural products is still very low in national GDP and even lower than that of other countries which have the same amount of export. It is due to unproper ways of doing business. For example, in market’s aspects, selling to the third party will lower our income; in products’, selling the goods that is no longer desired by the world market will lead us to loss business and so on. These difficulties can only overcome if we do complete research via the operation of the business center. To be concise, although a center for research agriculture will bring us many advantages to strengthen our agricultural economy, I certainly recommend the purpose of establishing a center for business research for my country. Because it will help us to study thoroughly the whole status of our economy and to find out the appropriate trend for development. Stariver

Hi Tho,:) Just very quickly, I think your essay is well orgarnized and sufficient for 30 min. essay. However :cool: I think in the second par. "more foriegn companies" is not what we can change!!! We just can do changing our investment policy or improving tourism activities in order to attract more visitors or investors...!! That's it!! Hope other TM students will help you more!!

Yesss, I understand what you mean, I will try to do as you suggested! And hope that my writting will be better after being given the highest score I have ever dreamed of!! I am really inspired!! Thank you so much![^]

Hi Atnoon and Ranu, :) Thank you for reply!!! That's really great when you like my idea a little bit Atnoon!!!! Dear Ranu, I did read almost all of essays posted in this forum and I read yours too, the one that you meaned you were quite in the midlleway!! I agree with Renata about the idea to make it clear the one choice that we support! But in this specific topic, I myself can not pick any of them seperately. B/c I think that it is not sufficient way of life when we just only follow the new country's customes or just keep our own!! I think we must combine the two types. So do you think it's posible to write as I did in this specific topic?? Or for the higher score I have to say some thing that I don't realy believe!!! Again thanxx a lot!!;) Wiou

Hi my TM friends:), Please help me to point out any minor mistakes!!! I wanna be better in TOEFL!!! #109. When people move to another country, some of them decide to follow the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep their own customs. Compare these two choices. Which one do you prefer? Support your answer with specific details. There is no doubt that our world is becoming a small-shared house for everybody. We can move from country to country with fewer difficulties in terms of life style or culture. There are fundamentally two main trends of living when people move to another country, copying the new country’s customs or preserving their home town’s one. Between the two types, although each one has its own features which I will point out in this essay, I strongly support the way we people should combine the two choices in order to make our life more comfortable and successful. In the early type, following the new customs of the country that we move in has numerous marvelous aspects. Being familiar with what are the commonplaces and practices in where we spend our life is important and worth thing for us. Because we can live and act as normally as other native people if we understand and respect the mood of the new life. For example, it is definitely normal when people in the West kissing each other on their cheeks when they meet. But this, for Asian people, is very strange and may lead to some misunderstandings. Therefore new way of life should be understood and adapted properly. That is the reason why we should get to know the new country’s customs. Secondly, getting to know the new history, the new life style and culture of that country is an essential thing. Because it not only helps you to have a comfortable life, but also create many new amazing things to you which you have never or seldom met before when you remained in your home country. For example, for the simplest thing in our daily life, eating, you must know what people have for meals daily and how to cook that kind of food. This will bring you many conveniences because that food is the popular food and is available everywhere in your neighborhood. Also it will create new joy and interest when you learn a new simple thing. Meanwhile, keeping our own customs has special feature in terms of preserving our natural characteristics and heritages what distinct you from other people in the new community. Being grown with the habit of having cooked rice for your meals you can remain it as a special enjoyment when eating with your family. Or if you want to go to pagodas every rounding or waning moon’s occasions, you should remain doing that too. Just because it is your way of life, moving to a new country does not mean you have to forget all of your habits and likes. In conclusion, living our life properly in a new country should combine both two ways, following new customs and keeping our own one. It will help us to live conveniently and corresponding to the facts while still be the natural people who we are. That is why I strongly support the mixture way of living when people moving to another country. Thank you all for your support!! P/S: I spent almost 45 mins to finish it!!

Ohhhhhh, My God!!!:o I know... I am badddd... toooooo bad!!:p!!! I have to find some place to vanish my face!!!!! Oh at least today everybody who reads this topic will have a biggg laugh!!!! (like I did at first):D:D Anyway Good morning from VN!!!!:)

Hi Renata and Enrin,:) Thank you for your great advice on the topics' theme. I understand what you mean. That's really helpful to me. And that's the most important thing I expect when posting my essay here, getting to know right way to study E. All I have to do now is to practice more and more!! Yes, I agree with you Enrin. Everybody's name is the small but the most beautiful thing for us. And the way we pay attention to name is the good one to pratice laguage too. So thank you for reminding me!!! Ok bye for now and talk to you much later.:)

Oh very sorry you are must be one of the most famous people in TM but I still get your name wrong[xx(]. Sorry Renata!!! Yes Renata!!!:) Talk to you soon!

Hi Retana,:) Is that true? I mean the right way to answer this question “which one do you prefer ? ” is state what I really think of it in particular, not all people in general??? You know I have read many sample essays in TM but I have had no idea about that before. If that, in fact, is the correct way, so I have to answer all other same Qs by say what I like and think of it? If not just post Qs, doubts like: “I am not sure that food at food stands is as healthy as food prepared at home.” … Thank you very much Retana[^]

Hi Phuong!:D Thanks U again for your great guide!! I totally agree with you about Vnese Lit. And I myselfe is trying hard to be familiar with English Lit in TOEFL not Vnese. So surely this costs my time and energy for practice right!!! Ohhhh yeahhh, 300 is waiting at Tran Hung Dao. (But I have to take the supplemental paper base test and writing this time is a must) so may be 680 all of them!!!!! Thanks [^]and talk to you much later on next posts!! ;)

Hi Enrin,:) This is my essay: Nowadays, food is becoming more and more abundant as well as the ways people can enjoy it. We can either eat food in restaurants, café shops, and food stands or we can cook and enjoy food at home with our family members. In two ways, because it can preserve family heritage, I much prefer the later to prepare and eat food at home. There is no doubt about advantages of eating fast food that available in food stands and nice dishes that severed in restaurants. Firstly, regarding the convenience in terms of time, eating food in food stands far outweighs eating food at home. We can buy fast food at anytime we need just by waiting to be served in a few seconds. Because it is available every where and at 24/24 hours a day, everyday in a week. It is believes to be the best point of eating out. People no longer have to concern much about which food for dinner today, how to organize their work efficiently then they can have sometime remaining for preparing food. Secondly, some may argue that by eating out we can have more chance to enjoy various kinds of food. Chinese, American, or Italian restaurants are every where in our neighborhood. Therefore all we have to do if we would like to try them is just going to the restaurants or just picking up the phone and dialing their number. It is more enjoyment with less concerning. However, eating at home with our family is the valuable feature of family culture. After a hard working day, it is wonderful to have sometime do cooking together with our family members. Our Mum, dad, and sisters or our husband and wife can help us preparing food and enjoy it together. It is not only a simple meal but also, for some thing more important, it is the relaxed time and the time to take care for our family. Besides, sometimes inviting our friends or relatives to have dinner at our home is marvelous occasion. In conclusion, for saving time eating food from food stands or restaurant is a way of choice. However too much eating out can let us forget the worth of one of the most wonderful aspects of family heritage – preparing and enjoying food together at home. Thank you all for your comments.[^]
