Yeah I know that but I need my score by the end of this month and I read that if you typewrite your essay you may take much more time to receive your score. I can not take this risk. Thanks anyway anuj and Good Luck!!

Thanks u all for your comments. I am aware that nearly everything that you told me is true. However, I have problems with time I think that is much better to write long essay with a lot of examples, but I am afraid that my time can run of very fast if I try to do so. Anuj your essay is great. YOu will succed I hope you can post your experience tomorrow after the test. I will do that too. I just got one week to study but I think I will ace the test tomorrow too. Besides, I just need 213 but I hope I can go higher than that. Good Luck Anuj Just remember to be confident during the test ( I always say that to myself)

Thanks for all your hints. I had some doubts about the topics, especially when I did have to choose one side of the history and support it. However you show me that it's better to work on just one side. Because it makes things easy and help you keep the track of the topic.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Watching television is bad for children. Use specific details and examples to support your answer. This essay has 322 words I have already checked fore spelling errors with Microsoft word. Please take your time to read comment and why not grade me. My CBT will be next Thursday so I really need your help. Thank you all any way I agree that watching too much television is bad for children, especially for the little ones. There are a lot of aspects in TV that I believe are not beneficial at all for children. Children need much more than a television programming during her first years, besides they may become addicted to this powerful medium. Everybody has already listened to that story about the child who was brought up by a TV set. It is still very common these days. The parents have to work, mom takes care of the house while her husband go out to any outside job, and the children stay at home watching television. It appears a good idea, because the children don’t get themselves in trouble; don’t bother anybody and so on. However those children are doomed to a very restricted life. They should be outdoors playing or running though the house. In my conception the best way to give a good quality of life for ours sons it’s not restricting their opportunities of getting acquainted with other children and doing healthy activities I have already noticed that television is addictive as well as any other drug. I have a cousin of mine who couldn’t live without watching at least four hours of television per day. He was certainly addicted to it. This is a big problem, once you give the chance to a child watch television she will probably like and want to watch again. The parents play the most important role in this story. They have to decide that is and what is not good for a children watch in TV, and also the time they can spend in front of it. To sum up, it worthy saying that there is a lot more important things to a child do besides watching television. Moreover the parents are the ones who should take care of it, choosing what to see in television and for how long.

Wow, thanks a lot anuj You are write about all your comments. Thanks Godness I only need 213 in my CBT on Thursday. I am in Brazil so I think we might have some problems about that, however we should have at least one day to discuss our essays and I will be ready to help any time you or any other person ask me for. I am sure this will be the most constructive way to improve our hability to write in such a tiny time. I think I didn't read your private message that contains the selected topic list you made. Anyway post your essay when you have finished and I will post right after you. Afterall we have to be able to write an essay in just 30 minutes. raoni

Hi you ask me to score your essay, don't you? Well I think that you can get a 4.5 Your essay has some problems. maybe you shoul copy and paste it in the microsoft word to see some vocabulary errors. I really think you should expose another reason to explain why people go to college you told about increase knowledge but maybe you shoud have compared it with one or two like new experiences X increase knowledge and so on. And Finally your conclusion is too weak maybe you could do a review and post here again. I just tried to be helpful!!!

HI again anuj as I will be taking Toefl in the same day you will I decide write the same essay you write. I hope that everyone who read it give me some suggestion. Thank u all in advance This essay has 259 words I totally disagree that progress is always good. In my conception progress means the process of getting better at doing something, in this case specifically the technology development is the one to be considered. Many of us can be tempted to claim that progress is one of the best achievements of humankind, all the vehicles in the street, the planes in the sky, the moon’ s conquest. However we need to remember the price that the world is paying for all this changes. Firstly, We have each day more pollution in the world, we see every day in the news the devastating impact on the environment. Animals are dying, Forest are burst, Water is being contaminated. This is the huge price that we are paying for all the progress that we achieved. Secondly, We forget that most people in the world don’t make use of this progress. I mean, we have each day more people left behind by the society. Thousands starving to death. I supposed that the ones who are reading this report don’t know and I hope that never know what is to not be able to survive just because you don’t have anything to eat. I have already worked as an assistant in a charitable institution and I can sure you all that is the worst situation a human being can confront. In conclusion, I would like to say that there is no reason to pitch in a progress that will not be enjoyed by everyone and even will not be seen by our future generations.

Hi anuj I will take the toefl next Thursday as you will. And I think that your essay will be a good one. If you think you are running out of time I would like to tell that I just finished my first essay a few minutes ago. So don't worry. Unless you need a really high score.

Thank you this is a great site. IT Really worthy visit it!!!!
