Thank you and i agree with your points. I did take around 40 minutes for this essay. I don't think so!..may be you got a lil confused..On should be "ONE". If you think that this concl. is not upto the mark ,plz give me some suggestions.I think its not good but it will work...but I want to write a good concl. If one seems to be polished due to external appearances, it is just that he “seems” to be so! I mean to say..that he just appears to be polished...but actually...he's not!Its just his good clothes,etc. that make him look polished.I hope this explanatuon is sufficient! No,i don't mind at all...After all,I'll learn from my mistakes! Love Avni...

1.partially..seems incorrect to me too as i've to agree or disagree and not be in between...Right? 2.very important....is it a redundancy?May be thats why it is incorrect. 3.I agree with you .They should've been one para. 4.So sorry..it is indeed a mistyping!Sorry for that! 5.I'm sorry I couldn't understand what you mean by this? I mean to say that even if I haven't prepared well for the exam and the questions asked are easy ...it is my luck!This luck helps me to perform better. 6.No , the conclusion is only the last 2 sentences. Do you think the conclusion is too short? If I connect the 2 paras ,will it be right?I ask you this because Barron's says the conclusion should not introduce a new idea. 7.You are very right!It does happen to me everytime I start writing. I'm ready to make compromises as i want to improve. Whywould you dishearten me? No.I'm not feeling bad.i understand that you are helping me and I really appreciate it! Thank you so much Vaya!

Please let me know my estimated scores: #054: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? One should never judge a person by external appearances. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. Judging a person by external appearances is not a wise thing to do. One should never judge a person by external appearances. I fully agree with this statement. Appearances can be deceptive. Many a times it does happen that the outer side or appearance of a person really charms. This is as good as living in a fool’s paradise because a person with a charming exterior may not always be good at heart. On the other hand, if a person is all in tatters, it may not necessarily mean that he is poor and a simpleton. It could be that due to certain circumstances his condition is such otherwise who knows…he could even be an intellectual! Shakespeare has very rightly said – “All that glitters is not gold.” If one seems to be polished due to external appearances, it is just that he “seems” to be so! Infact, the person could be a real dud! It is a well – known fact that everything that gleams is not necessarily gold. Similarly, the person whose external appearance is mesmerizing might not be worth the praise that he may get due to his outer appearance. Judging a person by external appearance is quite similar to judging a book by its cover…ignoring the inside …the contents that are the actual worth of the book! It could be that an intellectual is disregarded due to his shabby appearance, as aforementioned. On the contrary, a cunning person who ‘appears’ to be simple could deceive one! External appearances are usually fake. People put on a masque to hide their weaknesses. It is this masque that deceives the whole world! Thus, judging a person through external appearances is not a wise judgment. On must always look for the true worth of a person ignoring the exteriors. Judging by external appearances is as good as fooling oneself. Love Avni....

Hi Amruta! Thank you for relieving me! I have no idea about GRE but yes Toefl topics are simpler than what we usually get at our indian schools in exams.I think the reason for this is the format of the essays! Thank you for the advice for the Listening section.Yes,I'm giving CBT. as for my structure....it has improved. The Reading section ,I know , has more time than actually reqd. I'll be writing my essay and not typing it as I'm not so comfortable with typing. Thank you so much !I feel more confident already! I Wish you the best for your essay scores!!;) Love Avni...
