Toefl Essay. Could you please check my essay? Some young adults want independence from their parents as soon as possible. Other young adults prefer to live with their families for a longer time. Which of these situations do you think is better? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples. As every person grows up the question of leaving parents becomes apparent. Some people prefer to stay with their family and others prefer to live alone. I my opinion it is better to leave the parental house as a person becomes adult. To prove my position I will give two reasons. First of all, one should start living alone to become more independent and responsible. Usually children who finished their high school move to the college campus even if their University is located in their mother town. The new style of living gives them more opportunities to widen horizons by communicating with different people. Also children become more independent as they are forced to make their living by working somewhere and it makes them more attentive to money. Living apart from parents can create the sense of the responsibility as the person cares about himself without help of parents. Secondly, the young adults should leave their family to give parents the opportunity to enjoy themselves and live for their own pleasure. For example, I left my family after the graduating from the high school when I was 17 and I started my adult life. I moved to Saint-Petersburg and earned money for my Universiy studies. My parents were very upset with this change but after a while, they started their new life. Mother and Father decided to travel and to enjoy their time. As they were no longer forced to give me money, they could spend the extra money on things they liked such as exploring the world. They also were able to afford to buy a new flat in the city of their dreams. Thus, a person should start his own independent life apart from the parents as he becomes adult and capable to pay for his own living. The examples included in the essay can support this idea.

a pig on a poke Nowadays it is very easy to make purchases on internet. The online shopping gives a lot of opportunities to buy different products on a good price which could be delivered from the other side of the planet. But also this kind of shopping has a lot of risks. You never know if the product would be delivered safe and sound. Also the quality of the product could be poor. The digital picture of a product could be different from the real appearance of the product. I like to buy things on Internet. But unfortunately not all my shopping experience is successful. When I was looking for a dress for my graduation party from the 9th grade I decided to buy a beautiful dress from a Chinese site. For me it was the first time I have bought clothes on Internet. So, I took all measures of my bode to make sure that I was going to buy a right size. Finally, I made an order. The most exhausting part of the internet shopping is the waiting. I hoped my dress to be perfect. It was a model of my dream. All pictures on the site were amazing. I spent all my pocket money that I was collecting for summer holiday. It cost me a fortune. After two months I got a notification from the nearest post office, I rushed into the building to get my dress. When I got home, I opened a package and for my surprise the dress was awful. It was too big for me and I hadn’t enough time to fix this problem. The colour looked so cheap, the quality of textile was third-rate. I bought a pig in a poke!

Milk and Honey Four years ago my family and I, we decided to spend our summer vacations in Egypt. We had made an extensive research to find a perfect hotel. My father and I, we wanted to do scuba diving as in Egypt there is a beautiful coral reef. My mother was looking for an opportunity to sunbathe on a fine sand beach. And of course one of the most important requirements was a good food with a big variation of cuisines. After two weeks of research we found an ideal hotel. Everything was perfect. On the hotel territory there were beautiful trees and flowers, two big pools, amazing beach near the dark blue sea with coral reef. And the food… There was an overflow of food. You could find everything you wanted to. My favorite meal was dinner as there were a big variety of different dishes to all tastes. First, you pass near a big table with salads, appetizers and vegetables. Then a table with soups, usually there were three or four varieties. Most of all I liked broccoli cream soup. After having taking a soup you choose a main course. Every day the cooks provided guests with a wide range off seafood, meat and garnish. Near the chef there always was a waiting line. Every evening this smiling man presented a special dish. It could be grilled meat, Italian pasta, Spanish paella. It was a surprise of the day. And the confectionary table was like a cherry on top. Pastries, cakes, ice cream and my favorite one was the Egyptian dessert made of nuts and dry fruit. As it was summer there was a big assortment of ripe, fresh fruits: watermelons, melons, figs, oranges, apples… It was a real milk and honey!

Vacances de l’hiver En vacances de l’hiver ma famille et moi avait décidé d’aller à la prochaine ville , qui s’apelle Kirovsque. C’est une petite ville touristique , où ce trouve les montagne Hibiny. Ils sont très popular parmi les amateurs des sports d’hiver. Dans notre plan était skier sur la nouvelle piste et puis visiter la piscine pour nous reposer après promenade en ski. Dans notre ville il faisait beau . Il faisait du soleil , le vent était léger . Il y avait un petit hivernal . Le temps était idéal pour skier. Nous sommes quittés notre ville et aussitô que le temps s’est amélioré . Il y avait un vent fort , que la voiture a été déportée. Il neigeait plus fort. Il n’y avait aucune visibilité. Père s’orientait sur les feux d’un camion , qu’allé en avant de nous .Le tempête de neige était tallement fort , mais nous perdions espoir . C’est rien ,juste un brise avec neige . On peut skierait , nous avons pensé . Mais quand on est sorti de la voiture, on a changé notre position . Le vent était violent , qu’on est dérivé due au vent . On n’a pu rien voir .
