Awesome, Great work. I'm going to take the test soon so I printed out the pool of the topics from the ETS website , but I noticed there are only 150 topics , however your list goes up to 285 ? any ideas why is that , did ETS shorten the list? and if they did, can someone re-categorize the new list?

Anyone?

Hi, is it acceptable to write a fake (unreal ) example like the example I included in this essay? and please review and rate the whole essay? Please note that English isn't my first language. The statement that educational institutions should actively encourage their students to choose fields of study that will prepare for lucrative doesn't represent the opinion of many people arguing the importance of learning a variety of subjects during higher education to become more successful, and I definitely do not agree with this statement. The answer to question of whether studying only courses that are related to the student’s future career can help the student ability to succeed in their lives is debatable. Most people would agree on the fact that acquiring knowledge in many areas beside the student’s area of specialization can be a great asset. Having the ability to become an expert in your profession can be the greatest reward anyone can get from their education, but what is more important is the ability to collaborate between professional from other fields which can only be accomplished be gaining a glut of knowledge in different fields. Teaching wide variety of college courses can be the ultimate way to success later in real life situations, it could enhance professional skills to be able to collaborate and co-operate with scientists and professionals from other fields to come up with creative ideas. Randy Miller, a creative architect, being the most successful architect in the united states around the 80s he decided to make the computer work for architects to calculate different algorithms such as the amount of sunlight entering the building or the anticipated air quality inside a building. Due to Miller’s profound knowledge in computer programming he was able to create one of the most beneficial software any architect can have. Imagine if Miller did only have the required experience and education in Architecture and didn’t learn about computers? Learning a variety of courses can also help professional gain different skills which could be a great asset later in the future when unexpected turn of events happens such as political or economical changes n causing unbalance in job demands. For example a change in economy can cause temporary suspension in the construction industry, while architects and construction professionals who didn’t learn different subjects in college are the first to lose their job with no future backup plans, other construction professionals who were taught wide variety of subjects can easily change their careers. On conclusion, given the facts that mixed and varied education can be very helpful for one’s career ,I strongly disagree with credo expressed in the author’s statement.

neateditor, I appreciate your review. thanks a lot . and I'm sorry for the delay in my response , I just came back from a vacation and then I got busy with my kids and their first week of school.

Please note that English isn't my first language. It would be much appreciated if you guys comment on my essay, and give your recommendations to improve my writing. Writing has been a struggle for me. I've always had hard time writing even in my own native language. the Issue is " in any field of inquiry, the beginner is more likely than the expert to make important contributions" Here is the essay: In any field of inquiry, the beginner could be a better person to contribute to his or her field of profession more than an experienced person does. In the beginning of their careers, beginners tend to be motivated and full of energy. Beginners usually strive to gain knowledge with extreme alacrity trying to upgrade their positions and catch up with experienced professionals. Most of the time it is better to hire young inexperienced people in various fields than hiring experienced ones, for example in the field of scientific research, beginners with young fresh minds could be more open to research new theories than exploring the same ideas and theories experienced scientists have been working on during their whole careers. Typically, young professioanls can be a great asset to many institutions due to the fact that they are willing to investigate and explore new and never researched before tasks. Because we live in a societies that are very much knowledge driven, young professionals are constantly being encouraged to gain more knowledge, due to the fact that beginners usually have fresh minds they use out of the box thinking methods to gain their knowledge they also use up to date research methodologies therefore they usually best at developing new technologies . For example, in technology and computer software fields, where every few years a new programming language emerges in the computer industry market, experienced professionals might struggle to come up with ideas to make a new software for a company due to their lack in mastering new computer programming and coding languages, however, beginners and fresh graduates are taught new and up to date computer programming languages making them more reliable to write new software and computer applications . On the contrary , In corporate industries, experienced professionals can be the most appropriate people to hire, because in the corporate world , time is limited and it can be very expensive too. Therefore there is no time to wait for a beginner to troubleshoot a problem and find a solution for it. An experienced person can pinpoint the problem and apply a solution to it in a speedy manner , Therefore it could be much cheaper to hire experienced professional in many corporate businesses. In conclusion, I strongly agree that beginners are more likely to contribute to their professions more than experienced people do in most field , however experienced people could be a great asset for some types of buisesses. Perhaps a better way to phrase the statement above would be to say ”the beginner is more likely than expert to make important contribution in most fields , however experienced ones could contribute more than beginner ones in corporate fields where immediate solution is required.
