Question Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Nowadays, food has indeed become easier to prepare and this certainly has improved the way people live. The following paragraphs will provide reasons and examples to support this argument. The advent of technology, particularly in manufacturing more efficient cooking vessels has greatly benefited the way people live. This is because people are constantly overwhelmed with excess work which deprives them from having ample time to prepare nutritious meals. Foodstuff such as rice, potatoes, meat and vegetables are usually time-consuming to prepare. Another reason for having these advanced cooking vessels is for assisting people who lack in adequate cooking skills. Thankfully, cooking vessels such as the rice cooker and micro-wave oven has come as a huge relief for many. They have reduced excess time spent on preparing meals. For example, most rice cookers now prepare rice in just a space of 30 minutes. The major advantage of a rice cooker is that it does not burn any contents during one’s absence but keeps it warm, instead. They are also portable to carry around for a variety of functions such as parties, weddings or even on camping trips. Furthermore, micro-wave ovens are extremely versatile in that they not only cook but also reheat, defrost, bake and even roast food. On the other hand, conventional ovens can only roast and bake food. A micro-wave oven is also portable and can be easily stored in any type of house or apartment. Most grocery stores now sell instant food that requires micro-wave preparation. Cooking could not have been better with use of rice cookers and micro wave ovens mentioned above as people now live in a rapidly changing world. :(

Hi everyone. Do you have any tips on time managment on the PBT test, which has 50 questions on it? I've followed the advice of reading the questions first before answering the questions and it has proved effective for me. The only problem is that of time, where I tend to run out of it. Thanks R

Hey guys, hope you're all well. I'm just informing you a full on toefl practice test, with the exact structure and number of questions. The only exception is with the TWE essay but otherwise, everything else is there. Check out it: http://mickey.homelinux.net/~u-ryo/TOEFL/ Cheers

Hello TM staff. Please you check my second essay and notify me how well structured and answered it is. Thanks Questions Should government spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments spend more money on improving public transportation (buses, trains, subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay. In order to improve the efficiency of a transport network, apart from improving roads and highways, governments should definitely spend more money on public transport (buses, trains and subways). The following essay will specify the reasons for doing so. Firstly, spending more money on improving public transport (buses, trains and subways) on major routes linking metropolis cities would certainly ease traffic congestion, particularly during the peak-hour period. This could be done by increasing the passenger bus fleet and adding more carriages to commuter trains and subways, travelling to densely-populated neighbouring cities. Secondly, a reduction in the number of motorists driving to and from work, school, college or other general activities would result in lower air pollution. For example, most State and Federal governments, particularly in Australia intend on maintaining a cleaner environment. Although, it can be argued that buses usually run on diesel resulting in air pollution, a government would then seek for alternative sources of fuel such as natural gas. The operation of natural gas-powered buses is currently taking place throughout Australia’s major cities and states. Also, most commuter trains and subways are powered by electricity. Lastly, the regular use of public transport would improve worker, student and teacher punctuality. Motorists belonging to this respective occupancy would greatly benefit from avoiding delays in looking for parking space. As a student who regularly attends classes and other activities everyday, I strongly encourage governments to spend more money on public transport to improve efficiency.

Hi Erin. please may you check and score my essay I wrote a few days ago. Thanks Graham Question Some people are taller than others. Which would you prefer to be, tall or short? Give reasons to support. On the question of being tall or short, my preference is to be tall. The following paragraphs will discuss a few reasons why that is my best option. Being tall would enable me to compete in the athletics track and field championship events such as high jump, long jump and hurdles. As a championship contender, my height would propel my chances of qualifying for the advanced stages. Whereas, being short would deter me from overcoming the intense competition posed from fellow athletes, regardless of thorough preparation. Also, my athleticism and height would enable me to become a policeman and pursue suspects on foot by jumping over walls without problems. For instance, I usually watch police documentaries on television that feature tall policemen climbing over high walls, using their height and strength to catch criminals. Or to earn extra money, I could consider becoming a celebrity bodyguard and protect my employer from assault wherever he/she goes. Most celebrity bodyguards I have seen are tall and robust, making them impenetrable fortresses against danger. On the other hand, and on a safer note, I would prefer being a tall factory supervisor because my height would intimidate any rebellious workers. Employees would respect me on their first impression, thus making me an influential figurehead. Sometimes, employees tend to underestimate a short supervisor whom they normally assume to be weak. In order to overcome some of the difficulties and challenges mentioned above, I definitely would prefer being tall.

Hi everyone. I have a general question on grammar. Is it grammatically correct for one to say they "fought" someone or "fought with" someone. I've noticed many people using the expression "fought with" and I strongly disagree with it. My argument is that, "fought" is a verb (action word) indicating what the person "did. Whereas, "fought with", even though its also a verb, "with" is a preposition implying they did it together with their opponent (someone). Wouldn't you agree? Thanks
