Could someone please correct my essay for TOEFL? Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? There is nothing that young people can teach older people. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position. ---------------------------------------- This is an undeniable fact that there are a lot of things that older people can teach young people since they are more experienced and knowledgeable in many ways. However if we look at different aspects, there are also things for sure that young people can give advice to the elderly. I have two main reasons to support this idea. First, younger people are more skilled to collect information which may be helpful in emergency situations. Nowadays, thanks to the Internet and computers, it has become much easier for us to get an access to huge amount of information. Especially social media is very useful when we get in trouble including earthquakes, fires, and so on. However most of older people are not used to using them and may fail to get the latest information. In fact, when there was a severe earthquake in Japan, the only way for the affected people to get information and connect with others was Twitter. Because of this, older people were more likely to fail to escape. From this accident, I strongly believe that young people should teach how to use recent technology to elderly people. Second, young people can teach the new subjects they are learning in their school, which will lead to drastic changes in the future work. It is only recently that even the students in the elementally schools are required to study English as the second language, how AI works, and programming. This means the required skills in the future work will change. It will also have significant impacts on our future lifestyles, that matters all of us including older people. Since the elderly don’t have access to those classes at school, they should be taught by the younger people. It will definitely help them have better life in their near future. For these reasons, I believe there are things younger people can teach older people.

Could someone please correct my essay for TOEFL? Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently it has become much easier for us to access to cooked meals. We can easily find things including sandwiches, prepared lunch boxes, and salad to go at any supermarket or convenience stores. I believe this change has improved the quality of our lives in several ways. There are three main reasons to support my idea. First of all, buying pre-made food allows us to save more time. Since we don’t have to cook ourselves, we can do something else in the time, which are more valuable to do for us. We could study, work, and enjoy our hobbies, and they will lead to more fulfilling life. In my experience, thanks to cooked food, I am able to spend more time on learning English. It is very helpful to work with foreign coworkers at my office. I strongly feel that having time to study English makes my daily life more meaningful. Second, cooked food helps us to stay healthy. There are usually labels on the food, which show what ingredients and what nutrition they contain including calories. This helps us to calculate calories and lets us know what nutrition we lack of. In addition, if you have something you want to avoid to eat, you can just check the label before the purchase. For example, I always buy food without flower, and it indeed help me keep myself in shape. Finally, buying pre-made food saves your money. If you have to cook something from scratch, you need to buy all of the ingredients, condiment, and seasoning. Also it even need you to have a decent kitchen and pay electricity. It costs a lot in total. However if you buy something that is already ready to be had, you don’t have to worry about the additional expenses. For these three reasons, I think having an easier way to prepare food has improved our lives.

"submissive" vs "pushover" Hi there, Could someone please tell me the difference between "submissive" and "pushover"? My understanding is this: Basically these two words mean almost the same. The difference is that "submissive" is a neutral word whereas "pushover" usually has negative connotations. Is this correct? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Nanako
