State the most effective media for communicating information. **This is an IELTS writing practice. Please help me correct my articles. Thanks for your help.** *The topic is: Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of the following as media for communicating information. State which you consider to be the most effective. comics, books, radio, television, film, theatre Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.* I think that the most effective way to get information is by television for the following reasons. Let's compare some features of books, radio, and television. First, for the books, people have to be self-motivated to buy and read the book for acquiring the information. On the other hand, listening the radio and watching television don't really have to be self-motivated. You can just sit on a chair or sofa and receive those information from the devices. From this points of view, people would tend to use radio and television to get the information because of the convenience and the effectiveness. Also, people get lazier than before. Second, the cost of listening the radio and watching TV are cheaper than reading books in the long run. Therefore, the proportion of having a TV or a radio at home is larger than before and tend to larger and larger. Having a television and a radio is not a hard task anymore. Third, TV programs could be more creative than the other two types of communication ways because we can see the people and scenes on the screen. For example, my mom loves watching soaps everyday on TV. But can we see those soaps from books or radio? Definitely no. We can only read words from books and listen the voices of DJs from the radio. All in all, television is more attractive to us. People are used to watch television everyday now. Parents watch news and children watch cartoons respectively. Since we are easier to access information than before, we should have the ability to judge whether the information is correct or not.

Is it more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends? *This is a TOEFL writing practice. Please help me correct my article. Thanks for helping me!! * **The topic is: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends. ** I agree with the statement that it is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends for the following reasons. First of all, you would have some memories with your old friends. You guys always can talk about things you have been through in the past. For example, when I was in high school, some of my friends hided my chair and table in the classroom in order to fool me on the fool's day. As I walked into the classroom, I was very nervous about it when I found my table and chair were not in their position. In the end, I found them in other classroom. I was angry but felt funny at the same time. Now, I would still talk about those silly things with my old friends. Secondly, you don't have to be careful with your old friends because you are very familiar with them. You know what they like and what they don't like. So you would feel more comfortable with your old friends than with new friends. For instance, a friend of mine doesn't like people say something behind others. Then we would never gossip others when we are with her. But for my other friends, we just need some gossiping time for fun. Finally, you can trust your old friends more than your new friends. Because you have been through many things with your old friends, you can trust them. Sometimes, we would need other's help. At this point, you would always ask your old friends a favor, instead of your new friends. And of course, your old friends would always love to help you. Thus, I think to keep your old friends is more important to make new friends.

Do young people have influence on the important decisions that determine the future of society? *This is a TOEFL writing practice. Please help me correct my article. Thanks for helping me!! * **The topic is: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people today have no influence on the important decisions that determine the future of society as a whole.** I disagree with the statement that young people have no important influence that determine the future of our society as a whole for following reasons. Firstly, young people can learn new knowledge much faster than the elderly. New knowledge and new technology would make our society better and also let us being more comfortable in our living space. Those influence the society we live in and thus we would have different policies for our newly society. Therefore, we will eventually need young people to make our society being better. Secondly, the elderly would eventually retire and leave their position in the society. Young people would replace their positions and make the important decisions about our society. It means that every pace we move would cause the movement of the whole society when entering the society gradually. The newly technology and newly knowledge let us being more comfortable and also make a better economics. Last but not the least, I think everyone in our society have influence that determine the future of our society because we live together. We have rights to make a change and express our opinions to help develop our country. No one can ignore other's voice because we are the same as a citizen of our society. As a result, I think young people have great influence on determining the future of the society.

Is it better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents’ jobs? ***This is a TOEFL writing practice. Please give me some suggestions! Thanks very much!*** *"Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is better for children to choose jobs that are similar to their parents’ jobs than to choose jobs that are very different from their parents’ job."* I agree with that children select the similar jobs with their parents for several reasons below. First of all, I believe children will imitate the behavior from their parents or anyone taking care of them as long as they can see and hear. For example, your kids might be able to recognize some medical items or organs during their childhood if you or your spouse were a doctor. You probably have some related materials at home, such as pictures, models, and books. Children must learn something from those decoration because they will see them everyday during their childhood. Secondly, children could probably consult lots of questions from parents when they are going to choose their major or future career. Parents would have a lot of information on their professional areas which can guide them a better way from such areas. For instance, you would know the detailed environment and the trend in medical area when your kids are going to become grown up. Finally, children must have some difficulties about the career during their growing process. Parents will be the best teacher for them when this happens because you probably faced the same difficulties when you were young. At the time, you can give them some advices and thus guide them a better way to deal with. Therefore, I agree with that children select the similar jobs with their parents.

Experiences at Shanghai When it comes to China, we usually think of the beautiful scenes, delicious foods and the incredible amounts of people. Although it is, Shanghai is actually a weird place. There’re some weird things I’d like to share with you. I will write down my opinion below, and then you can write down yours or help me correct my article. Thanks very much! Just like other large cities, the public transportation in Shanghai is very convenient for partly easing the crazy amount of people flow. However, there’s something different from other cities. The amount of police officers and the security checks are so many. People who would like to take the metro or the maglev are supposed to be checked by the security. That is, you have to put your bags into the X-ray machine as long as you’d like walk into the metro gate. It’s really annoying when I was from the airport on my way to the hotel with heavy luggage. Nevertheless, after a few days, I thought it’s a great policy not only because it can be safer but also because local people would not bring so much stuff when taking the metro. According to the history, Shanghai is an old city developed by several countries during the nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Hence, it’s probably you might think you’re in Europe when you walk through some streets, such as the Bund(外灘), the Changle Rd. (長樂路) and the Taikang Rd. (泰康路). But suddenly when you just turn another way, you might see a lot of Chinese old buildings or newly commercial buildings in a row. Tourists often enjoy this kind of diversity, including me. I really enjoy drinking a cup of coffee with such streets. I did a lot of work for planning the itinerary before arriving Shanghai. So I know some great cuisines and restaurants you MUST-EAT. Foods you MUST-EAT in Shanghai are usually dumplings, for example, dumplings with crispy skin (pan-fried bun), small dumplings in the steamed bamboo cases, and dumplings with soup only (灌湯包). Dumplings are all great and delicious, but the last one I mentioned above is really weird. In fact, I was exciting for eating the 灌湯包, so I was shocked when I finished the soup inside by straw. I found there’s nothing inside the dumpling but the soup. I felt sad about this one even though the soup was good. Lastly, I think the weirdest thing on shopping is that there’s so many APPLE stores here and many people inside. People in Shanghai must love iPhone very much. Or maybe they was just browsing inside the store.
