Q. Agree or disagree, schools should ask students to evaluate their teachers.
A.
Each semester we evaluate our professors. Some of the questions lead to rather subjective answers, and evaluations function under the assumption that students have the power to be fair and impartial judges. I disagree that students should be asked to evaluate their professors, but not because they can't be trusted. Rather, there might be reprisals and because evaluations are moot.
Students sometimes fear authority. If we students hear enough that a flawless boss presents good reasons to obey, we might still vary in degree but widely we obey. Obviously, students shouldn't write because they are told to put pen to paper. I don't let things be just because some rock group says so. We should look before jumping off cliffs following others. I only jump in jump rope or if I get a prize. In this way, we see how evaluations work: the university needs assistance and this burden falls on free student labor. We should have the free life to reject such suggested workforce formats. If we are asked and required to evaluate, some students possibly will force answers just to be writing words while others are concentrating. We shouldn't concentrate merely because our peers concentrate.
Another reason I'm firmly against obligatory evaluating is because of this word, moot. If answers subjectivity varies, then my measly interpretations throw away. Insight isn't offered, only trends. In fact, because these professor reviews are averaged together and processed, they are over-processed. Nothing would be better than a sincere conversation with an authority figure about a certain professor that lasts half a day, but filling in bubbles on paper that will eventually scan through a machine lacks personality and precision. Who knows what these bubbles really signify. Since no one can read the implications of our subjectivity, it's better to ignore results and resist ineffectual evaluating systems.

TOEFL - Dancing adds to our culture
Q. Agree or disagree: Dancing plays an important role in a culture
A.
I love to dance. Me and songs go together. I undergo changes, both superficially and internally. I must agree that dancing plays an important part in a culture. Dancing results in transformations, detachments and mobilizations.
Transformative segments routinely exist in each dance. There are segments of new birth, death and beginnings. Shaking your body rotates a notion of rhythm. Factors outside us but that we rely on for control are pleasing. Nevertheless, as I undergo changes, I sometimes dislike what happens. But how we move has a role in our cultural stirrups. In general, we cannot control changes as they occur to us, as these are sub-nuclear. Events outside ourselves are most smaller to reaction, and happen part of a larger culture without that big part of culture catching on. Dancing changes on behalf of larger cultural forces working. Some of these reflexes displease certain schools who assume their dancing style is most appropriate. Therefore, non-compete clauses keep Samba and Rugby schools adhered to their own methods of rhythmic steam release, and get to be dancing types for different occasions. They both deserve their own dance areas to practice. So dancing has a role within the context of our adventures of control.
It is this reliance on control that detaches us and our rhythm which transforms us in superficial and mufti-layered manners. In addition to these properties of dancing's link to our culture factory, when you shake your body it results in mobilizations. When we mobilize we just want is to boogey. Since we all want to be mobilized, we dance for this reason. We are often unaware of how we reach this mobilization. Few patrons to clubs arrive wishing to stand around and gather moss. We all gesture like rolling stones no matter how accomplished our consequent dancing.
Where dancing happens, mobilization is frequent. We should embrace dance acts as cultural integers.

TOEFL Essay - People Aren't Satisfied
Q. People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want more or something different.
A.
Once is never enough, and more is nothing new. This is a saying I once created for an essay that I did well on, and it's true. We are never satisfied with what we have and we always want more or different objects. Nevertheless, this is positive rather than the common belief in the negative. We are human and can imagine more and do. Additionally, our drive to improve is tied to this instinct.
If animals had imaginations, they would seek different owners and another home. We strive for more and expand our collections because these are new methods and experiences. A place, and object, these are our experimentalism. When we attain different surroundings and degrees, our viewpoint changes. For example, the rags to riches story isn't commonplace because we dream of wealth, but because we truly believe wealth as power to change and redeem aspects of our person which we don't like is a viable equation. Obviously we realize upon acquiring our dreams that they are often deceptions, shanties of the real our mind uses as alarms to keep our feet mobile.
However important walking may be, physical prowess does little to sustain our living needs entirely. Possessions too are strides manifested in objects. You can get this, buy that, go here, arrange this and for how much: these are accomplishments. We buy or achieve, we are saying – even to no one but ourselves – these goods and services represent an achievement in fiscal engineering. Our drive and status within times passage is exemplified during the purchasing moment, when “I can get” becomes more important than “I can be free.” Our iotas of freedom are tied to buying power. In essence, our drive for more exists separately from buying power. Nevertheless, the item in our hands is the end of the road.

TOEFL Essay - a single world culture born from technology
Q. Technology is creating a single world culture. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
A.
Technology is around us. Whenever we see objects, a majority of them have technological uses and applications. These technological surroundings threaten or bless us with a culture that is single and worldly. I agree that it is a single world culture for several reasons, among these are the idea of Internet as a netting device to catch us all; and communication, which inhabits even our silence.
The Internet is technological; it has its roots in items we should take credit for. As a technology, the Internet has done more to unify and homogenize culture inside our own computers. Just think of the diverse networks that now require conventions to speak to each other, or the farm boy from Turkmenistan who uses the Internet to question a Western European. Like alcoholism. These individuals get similar responses and are now aware that we have long had similar questions. So the Internet certainly increases awareness of a single world culture whose potential was always animated, though not always alive. We are now all such a catch.
Another avenue of technological sameness is the communication highway. When we communicate we relay messages similar to how connected computers work. We bestow and receive functions and become functionaries. To this end, when we carry out our duties we are active. In the case of a speaker, we are speaking; or, for example a person using a chatroom is chattery. Consequently, constant activity draws a similar pattern over many diverse cultures' skies. We all see the same plane, and the emergency sign no longer calls for lettering.

TOEFL - Children and household tasks go together
Q. Agree or disagree: Children should help out with tasks around the house at a very young age.
A.
I began helping my mother with chores when I was very young. Thanks to this experience, I learned how to keep neat and the value of work in a productive life. Consequently, I fully believe that children should help adults with tasks at home from a very young age. I would say that children and chores go hand in hand.
One reason why children should help around the house is to learn to keep neat. In general, children love to make messes and they enjoy ruining a neat, clean room. However, when these children learn to clean and recognize that their clean faces will be shoved in the heaping mess they've created unless they clean it, they become greater responsible. For example, my brother was always messy until we put him to work, cleaning his room on Saturdays. The cleaner he kept his room, of course, the less he had to clean, and thus the less time he spent away from his friends. They were playing outside. In my brother's case, household chores eventually saved him time. Regardless, keeping neat and clean isn't the only reason children doing household chores is a positive thing.
Time is highly valued in our life. Work, too. Chores at a young age detonate the notion of just how integral these things are within us. Furthermore, they reveal to children possible moneymaking and career paths. It's important kids know where they stand in relation to their career trajectory. For example, my brother used to iron shirts at home, later he graduated to ironing at a laundromat. He soon plans to venture forth to open his own t-shirt ironing business someday. If he hadn't been put to work at a young age, he wouldn't be poised to earn as a young businessperson. It was exposing him early to ironing and pressing that opened his world.

TOEFL Essay - large shopping malls in my community
Q. If a large shopping mall were to be proposed for you community, would you support or oppose this plan?
A.
I have lived in the suburbs all my life. Most of my time has been spent among independently-owned yet somewhat identical homes. There, families look to escape the noise of industry and urbanity. It is to safeguard this serenity and to retain community that if a mall or large shopping complex were to be proposed for my neighborhood, I would most certainly oppose this plan.
Letting a mall into your area shatters the calm. Serenity – we all seek this tranquil form. Some seek domestic tranquility, others preserve their community's peacefulness by fighting for it. In any case, I would obviously oppose such an invasion of the peacefulness of my community. Since a large shopping mall would mean an increase in traffic, pedestrians, noise and would require necessary security. I would fight against its construction.
Large shopping malls interrupt sense of community, almost always shuttering small, local businesses. Clearly, were a mall to be built in my community, the businesses on main street which are the lifeblood of our community would be immediate victims. Even though having greater choices and access to an increased supply of products is desirable, the tradeoffs, or downsides, are too real and severe. While shopping centers do employ many from the population, the business owners, and thus the entire community we live in, would be harmed by such a development. For both these reasons concerning peace and community, I would oppose a shopping mall.

TOEFL Essay - Crime is a Problem
Q. Crime is a problem in many large urban centers. If you could change this, what would you do to cut down on crime?
A.
Any inhabitant of large urban locations knows the hint of poverty and crime walk in unison. If I had the productivity and position to affect crime, I would eliminate or reduce the high incidence of poverty because it is conducive to high crime.
Threatening to hit someone succeeds more readily if this target person stands next to you. This is what the distance desire that security dictates. However, the motive for hitting this target individual is none other than poverty, and when you're poor, your hands grow. Poverty causes crimes that we fear. Granted, identity theft and extortion are greatly feared, but these are nonviolent. After poverty is eliminated, our administration will address non-hitting crime, or crime without physical dampening. For example, in areas where we have equal parts, less criminal violence occurs between people.
In addition to reducing poverty as a means to cut crime, I would also establish lasting role models for everyone to admire. As humans, we need admiration and we need others to admire role models, primarily so the hitting stops. When these admirables dictate proper roles and behavior without poverty, crime will markedly decrease. In every place, where admiration is, so are behaviors which promote safety and actions other than hitting. One example would be petting. For example, if we pay attention to models, and these models demonstrate that payoff is only received after a hit, our final action will be to ensure repeat payoff.

TOEFL Essay - a job is a job for life
Q. Agree or disagree: a job should mean a job for life.
A.
We educate each other according to our lifespan helping determine our longitude. Each should be able to handles as much as creatively complex in an environment that indicates equal demand and rigor. In large cities, this means only handling social networks we capable persons manipulate and destruct. In a work environment, however, a job is a point of view you don't lose; it is for life because of workplace stability and salary potency.
Workplace and force stabilizers are those who retreat into job permanence. These are why jobs come to us. Workers remain stable, and stably occupying frontiers we admonish is how capital becomes known. This firmness supports national growth. In other words, it isn't possible to have many capabilities and decisions to change careers as well. When mobilizers increase, instability becomes sanctioned. To be part of a society that manufactures items in our dreams. The dark ionic power of this tower of manufacture is, of course, the permanence of jobs, but so it is. Mobility isn't feasible. Stay in your job and prosper doing this job forever. Certainly this is a permanent idea and consequently an action that we repeat.
Another reason why perpetuity belongs to our jobs is what demands upon salary we make. Salary itself is a word that implies staying power. For example, grabbing seniority in a location results in a large salary being placed on the doer. Those who stay at one position are more likely to reap benefits and pertain to beneficiaries. When on this planet you benefit, we earn a house which we enjoy or at least do not hate inside of, and which surroundings belong to our desire to learn from our kin. For example, passing along a work trajectory to young ones becomes loving when this is a hand-me-down. A watchmaker is an example of someone unable to learn without job permanence, since learning to customize a fit isn't something that you temporarily pick up one day.

TOEFL - Business should do whatever make money
Q. Do you agree that business should do whatever it takes to make a profit?
A.
Time is almost always spent unwisely. Contrarily, businesses spend time more wisely. Our business intentions are to fulfill themselves of intent, however, no one is hurting in the process. Since no one is harmed in the buying process, businesses should do what they can to forge a profit because they provide products at low costs and recipients actually benefit.
When enterprises are begun, having efficient products result is our primary worry. Will they result? In other words, when we start a business, our only care or concern should be focused on what symbol will yield asset creation. Without creating assets a business goes into the red. This is disastrous but good., since extremes are the criteria of businesses creating money. With disasters, capital notices. It responds with business. Business creates more capital and also more disaster. Most businesses don't admit this, but they should. They should admit wanting to make more business. For example, if a product doesn't surpass others in its class, it cannot flourish. Consequently, the seller cannot flourish and the product disappears from shelves. These productions then require a great push, innovation, and creative teams. If not, no profit is made. If businesses cannot do what they have in mind, they will fail.
When enterprises fail, it is because people's benefit has not been profiteered; therefore, another aspect that supports my view of business profiteering is people's benefit. Just how much the average we benefit from business is unknown, but we benefit. Without business, we would lack the ability to do most of what modern life demands. We wouldn't be able to work as hard, and spend some more. For example, our lives are full and we are no longer bored all thanks to our own business. An entity as great as this should be allowed freedom to move into downright meltdown.

TOEFL Essay - We don't possibly learn from hardship
Q. Agree or disagree: Most experiences in our lives that seem difficult are valuable lessons for the future.
A.
We people have long valued work as edifying and distinguishing. It's probably work's difficulty, the very hardship, that forms part of this attraction; Easiness isn't attractive. Difficulty produces a result which is found to be productive due its high quality and the amount of time we pour into it. Regardless of our view of work and difficulty, it's not something I agree with that most experiences in our lives that seem difficult are always valuable lessons for the future. I disagree mainly because to learn we need to be attentive and some obstacles really might have been easy and unattractive.
Listening is important. Follow instructions is important. Most important, however, is to follow the instructions of your heart. Our heart handles phenomenal information. Most of what we suffer that is difficult passes through the heart. Therefore, if we listen to this organ, we may learn. Most don't listen and don't get learning from hardship. For example, you mean to tell me that I carried this bike in 96 degree heat 60 blocks and up several flights of stairs only to arrive to listen to a buyer's complaint that the paint, which he fully intended to strip off, was slightly chipped and rougher looking than he had seen in the online pics because he had previously not viewed them on any screen larger than his smartphone and as a result this is somehow my fault and he therefore deserves to pay less? You can bet I've learned from this.
Don't imply that anyone would learn, however. We don't often learn from easy things. Much of what we consider difficult at the time is quite easy, and then afterward we realize how easy it was. On the other hand, we don't always learn from the objectively difficult, either. While there are possibilities to learn, I don't always agree that difficulty breeds learning.

TOEFL Essay - Microwaves and fast food might not benefit us
Q. Nowadays, with the invention of the microwave and with the popularity of fast food restaurants, food has become easier to prepare than ever. Do you think microwave ovens and fast food restaurants are beneficial to society?
A.
Today, we use microwaves often for long periods of time. I'm pretty sure that microwaves and fast food restaurants are harmful to society because with them we are bombarded by unknowable knowledge; they introduce mysteries we practically cannot solve into the equation.
Using a microwave or visiting a fast food restaurant, we take in bits of information without realizing their origin, fabric, or how they affect us. In general, new environments tempt our unconscious decision-maker by seducing with numerous particles which all seem attractive. To put it simply, we are strangers in a new setting, but only part remains human. Nevertheless, we are vulnerable to stimuli. The intake establishes a close relationship with the natural world, a world available in minute amounts inside fast food restaurants and especially, microwaves.
Microwaves are much more frightening than fast food. Since our animal brains cannot adjust to radical changes this non-natural world of plastic and combo advertising plus smells insert into the air to entice us, reasoning and we are thrown into panic mode. For example, in a fast food restaurant, the person ordering remains unaware of their close intimate ties to what is about to enter their mouth. And yet, they will consume this exception with little thought; this meal results in disturbances for hours afterward. On the other hand, microwaves really confuse what we want with what we eat. Therefore, unknowable knowledge or stimuli are what make microwaves and other easy cooking technology not so beneficial.
Normally, we adjust to being stimulated and experienced. However, the resultant particles are too young to study fully because of their mysterious nature. These eating practices stuff us not just with empty medicine, but with a questions we are impossibly helpless to answer.

And yet, they will consume this exception with little thought; this meal results in disturbances for hours afterward. On the other hand, microwaves really confuse what we want with what we eat. Therefore, unknowable knowledge or stimuli are what make microwaves and other easy cooking technology not so beneficial.
Normally, we adjust to being stimulated and experienced. However, the resultant particles are too young to study fully because of their mysterious nature. These eating practices stuff us not just with empty medicine, but with a questions we are impossibly helpless to answer.
TOEFL Essay - Sports and Academics Funded Equally
Q. Agree or disagree: Universities should give the same amount of funding to sports as to academics.
A.
My school spent millions on its “military athletic complex.” This term is no exaggeration: the FBI recruits at my school heavily. So true. Being educated among these, I must agree that schools should give equally to academics and athletics because both exercise different body parts and there's enough funding in any case.
Sports are obviously exercise. However, many falsely believe that academics do not cost us. This is only partly true when we study or engage in logic, proving and everything left is exercising as a totality that no sport addresses. In other words, working out might get regions reading doesn't, but the reading effort we put in boasts long term learning effects. For example, teach a man to fish and soon all the fish will disappear became too many do this. Give a man a fish, however, and you can earn money from his fish craving tomorrow.
Yet a final reason I might add that funding should be even is basically because there's just enough. Schools' funds' managers are hardy and resourceful. They know the gimmicks to get the money flowing. They show an enduring understanding of how to channel both money and devotion to sports and academics into broad-based investment opportunities. Nevertheless, these two fields – sports and academics – aren't competitors but complements that merged thousands of years ago to create an institution whose one with is that they now separate. Proper minds full of achieving ideas are composed of sports and academics. If you rebuke one, you are refusing to do business with an entirety. There surely is a gymnast in us all; therefore, we should create equal funding for teams and libraries.

TOEFL Essay - Adopt your new country's culture
Q. When people move to another country, some of them prefer to adopt the customs of the new country. Others prefer to keep their old customs. Which do you prefer?
A.
Everyone should travel at least once, so they say. When we live abroad, the difficulty is sometimes knowing whether to adopt another culture’s customs or not. In my time abroad, I have always preferred to adopt the home country’s customs to keeping my own in order to blend and increase my benefit from my new home.
Adopting another country’s customs is a method of blending. When we blend, we become another background. Going unnoticed in the background matters in countries and cultures with strong homogeneity. In other words, how we navigate another country directly responds to the group’s demand that we fit in. Rogue acting in situations which call for control and not indicating your correct emotional responsibility during sports are not smiled upon in foreign settings. For instance, imagine happiness during the tragic example of Holy Week in southern Spain, where everyone is incapable of joy. Adopting another’s customs is the appropriate response to everyday situations and avoid awkwardness.
One last reason I adopt the other culture is to squeeze benefit from this new place. Since I usually do not know how long I’m staying in a current location, I seek its complete benefits. More generally, in any situation we’re led to believe that expertise is unnecessary. This is false. Tourism, as an ignorant onlooker incapable of suffering or emotional response, is dead. What we need now to benefit translates from know-how and expectations. For example, while in Central America proper nutrition would have been impossible had I let long lines or language dissuade me. I kept my head and the line eventually moved. I was able to reach the cashier. Even paying improved after awhile. I could use the optional credit card with confidence. Adopting cultures plainly increases beneficent returns.

TOEFL Essay - my country requires development
Q. In your country, is there a need to leave land in its natural condition or develop it for housing and industry?
A.
In my country, our national landscape shifts and usually overcomes development and industry. I would urge that this land be developed because our spending great amounts of time underwater is not conducive and our social structure is hindered.
Our lives are entirely wet. The rain arrives and renews cycles, sure, but this nature show is tyranny. We accomplish little when precipitation only hypothetically abates. In general, we are hardly thinkers underwater, or worse, surrounded by water but unable to deal with it in a proper response. For example, our agricultural industry booms, but will eventually succumb to overwatering. Concrete development would greatly help to deflect this issue.
Another reason concrete should be laid, buildings planned and brought to towering monstrance, cities filled and peopled is to reduce silence and redo our social structure. Generally, the average laborer spends days alone without others’ speech, and these are missed learning extravagance. Currently, owning a lack of public spaces, we converse in most regions very little, and quality is the extreme sufferer. It’s difficult to engage in talk before too long becoming your own island. For example, inundation renders full marital vows impossible without boat access. Needless to say, this isn’t a windfall of public openness, and the watery slit in heaven isn’t conducive to wedding popularity.

TOEFL Essay - our country's pressing issue
Q. What is the most pressing issue facing your country today?
A.
We are surrounded by problems, some of which we control. In our country, the most pressing recent danger is identity theft due to the ensuing chaotic spending and the dangerous reaction taking place.
When our identity is stolen a violation occurs, a criminal in the world gains riches. Similar to burglary, though different from burglary. In this case the house is electronic and volatile, which we cannot touch to defend. Nevertheless, the danger lies in the spread of chaotic spending which costs your private life and residence documents. As those who consume expand, prices inflate; an entire marketplace whose function is to sell items to disguised buyers has emerged. These buyers who lack sincerity do not intend to use these items, so each item's use-value declines. Items are signals: Enter my online store for deals, is what boosted stereo actually represents. Instead, these goods furnish those who plan never to buy them with surroundings. Furthermore, discounts stamp legitimacy on a bilious mind. Conversely, money too easy is money not in our dominion, and using this easy money for a bargain is greater discount and a way to structure our domain afforded to those whose money this isn't.
Another indicator that ID theft problematizes our today is how we solve stolen identities. Most cases require extra fees paid exclusively by depositors. The assumption is that if the money is ours, we are responsible for the $4.99 encryption fee. Since the security failure is actually the bank's, consumers should rebuke fees as the cost of doing business, instead investigating viable alternatives, such as multiplicity. This responds to anonymity as a cloak. Contrary to a mattress holding our funds, since others know where we keep our mattress, and since a bank is no longer safe, we need a new name for such secure locations we fill with money. For example, we should become the previously stated anonymous personage. We should not assert our complex identifiers, lists of numbers, repeated dates of significance to us, passwords with alphanumeric combinations. As individuals in a population grow steadfast, windows to bilk them do too. Forming a direct link between vanity and theft is only facilitated by unique identification.

TOEFL Essay - We should be judged by our dress
Q. Agree or disagree: We should be judged by external appearances (dress).
A.
I agree that we should judge and be judged based on external appearances. My reasons are complicated, but briefly: we intend and act easily and predictably by our dress.
Our intentions adhere to how we appear. If I appear to waver or doubt, my doubtfulness is implied and I'm thereafter doubted. This certainly isn't factual, but I nonetheless expect to be judged as hesitant. I prefer to be treated this way, since our faces are realistic masks without keys that we use to signal. Regardless of how we feel deep down in our entirety, if our face dictates otherwise, from the depths of our hearts may not count. For example, politicians care to express the right facial and body language. One wrong snore/sneer and the election celebration is over. Honestly, how we possibly measure behavior without the look it belongs to is beyond me.
Our actions, what we do after intention's apparition, are also determined by how we appear to others. We impress or depress them. We will and should be judged by how we look because looks indicate stance, position, bearing, and action. We see where we're going by our clothing and whether we're appropriate. In general, we dress a certain way or create a certain look when we take part in distinct activities. If we appear to be playing ball, chances are we are. We would not want police officers to assume criminality when we're clearly playing at a team sport. Arms flailed during a drowning doesn't receive bad judgment, it's rather expected. A calm bather in passive release sinking to the bottom would, in our judgment, be assigned a set of behavioral epithets. These are just some examples of how dress and appearances indicate action, largely tolerated through uniform. We should therefore judge actions based on personal appearances.
