TOEFL iBT作文范文-121

Some people trust their first impressions about a person's character because they believe these judgments are generally correct. Other people do not judge a person's character quickly because they believe first impressions are often wrong. Compare these two attitudes. Which attitude do you agree with? Support your choice with specific examples.

Sample Essay

Some people think it is unfair to judge others based on first impressions, but I disagree. People can show us who they really are in just a few minutes. Even if someone is having an unusually bad day, it is still easy to see their true character. If I don’t like someone at first, I don’t want to waste time being friendly just because he or she might change later. First impressions give us valuable information.

It doesn’t take long for people to show their true character. Some people think you have to see how people act in different situations and talk to them a lot to get to know them. I don’t believe this is true. When you meet someone, pay attention to how the person greets you. You can see right away if the person is friendly or shy, polite or rude. See how the person tries to make conversation and you will know what topics are interesting to him or her. All of this gives us a lot of information about a person.

Even on a bad day, you can see what a person is really like. Some people think that it isn’t fair to judge people quickly because they might be having a bad day. I disagree. A bad day tells you a lot about people. You can see how they react to bad situations. Do they get very angry or take it all in stride? Do they get depressed and cry or just try to forget the problem? These are important parts of a person’s character.

I feel I can learn a lot about a person in a few minutes, so I don’t want to waste my time if the first impression isn't good. If l don’t like the way a person greets me, or if l am uncomfortable with the way a person responds to a bad situation, will my impression change later on? Probably not. If l spend more time with the person, I’ll probably just see more of the same. I would prefer to spend that time looking for people who I like.

If we all based our final opinion of others on first impressions, it would be hard to get to know anyone. We would probably miss many opportunities to make good friends. Isn’t it important to give everyone the chance to show us who are? And don’t you want other people to do the same for you?

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

Sample Essay

I believe that it is part of human nature to never be completely satisfied with what we have. This is true throughout our entire lives, from the time we are small children, through adolescence, and on into adulthood. We are always trying to something more or better or different than what we already have.

The desire for something different begins in early childhood. Give a small toy to play with, and she's happy—until she sees another toy. Then she wants to play with the other toy. Give her a cookie and give another cookie to her brother. She’ll probably think that her brother’s cookie is bigger than hers, or somehow different, and cry for it.

The dissatisfaction with what we already have continues into adolescence. A teenager may buy some new clothes. Then he sees his friend has shoes in a different style or pants of a different color. All of a sudden his new clothes are no good; he wants what his friend has. Being like their friends is very important to teens and they constantly change their desires in order to match their friends.

Even in adulthood, we are not free from dissatisfaction. A young adult may be excited to get her first job, but right away she starts thinking about moving up and getting a better job. A young couple is finally able to buy a new house after saving for several years. But soon they start thinking about buying another, bigger house. A man may finally reach a high position in his company after years of hard work. Not long after that, he starts thinking about retirement. We are never satisfied.

It is part of the cycle of life to never be entirely satisfied with what we have. This is actually a good human quality because it pushes us on to each new stage of life. Without dissatisfactions, we would probably always stay in the same place.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should read only those books that are about real event, real people, and established facts. Use specific reasons and support your opinion.

Sample Essay

It is just as important to read fiction as nonfiction. Fiction can actually teach us about real things. It also helps develops our creativity and express our emotions. These things are just as important as learning about facts.

Fiction can teach us about real things and give us a deeper understanding of them. Nonfiction tells us only facts. Novels, on the other hand, can tell us some facts and also about what those facts mean, or meant, to real people. Reading novels by Charles Dickens, For example, helps us really understand the consequences of poverty in Victorian England.

Fiction helps us develop our creativity. When we read stories, we try to imagine what the places and characters look like. We try to imagine what it feels like to live a character's life. Developing creativity is just as important as knowing a lot of facts.

Fiction helps us understand and express our emotions. When we read romances or tragedies or comedies, we read about feelings that we ourselves have. Reading helps us explore these feelings more. It gives us a mirror for our emotional lives.

It is important to learn facts, but it is also important to develop creativity and explore feelings. Reading fiction as well as nonfiction helps us do this. We should all read a wide range of things to deepen our understanding of ourselves and of the world around us.

 

TOEFL iBT作文范文-124

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Sample Essay

In my opinion, it is much more important for students to study science and mathematics than it is for them to study history and literature. Science and mathematics are much more practical. It is easier to get a job with science and math skills. Scientists and mathematicians have more social prestige, and they can earn higher salaries.

People who study science and mathematics get jobs more easily than people who study history and literature. There are always jobs in fields such as medicine, computer science, engineering, and other professions that require a science or math background. People who study history or literature can only become writers or college professors. It is difficult to get well-paying jobs in those fields.

Scientists and mathematicians have a lot of social prestige. Let’s face it—our society values science and math. If you go to a parry and say, "I am a rocket scientist," people will be interested in you. They will want to talk to you and be your friend. IF you say, "I am an historian," no one will pay any attention to you.

Scientists and mathematicians also earn more money than people in other fields because society values them more. A doctor, a chemist, a medical researcher,—a person in any one of these professions usually earns a far higher salary than a literature professor, For example, or a history expert.

Our society values science and math, so it is important to develop skills in these areas. If you have a science or math background, you are sure to get a good job, have lots of social prestige, and earn a good salary Faced with this fact, who would want to study anything else?

 

TOEFL iBT作文范文-125

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? All students should be required to study art and music in secondary school. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

Sample Essay

I agree that all students should be required to study art and music in high school. Art and music can teach us many things. They can teach us about ourselves, about our society, and about the world we live in.

By studying art and music, students can learn a great deal about themselves. Both are natural forms of self-expression. Just as our ancestors drew on the walls in caves and made music with drums, people today use art and music to explore their emotions. Students also explore their likes and dislikes when they choose the music they want to learn, or when they decide which subjects they want to draw. The process of making music or making art is a process of self-exploration.

Studying art and music means more than drawing or playing an instrument. Students go to museums and concerts, too. By studying pictures in museums or listening to the selections in a musical program, students learn about their own culture. They learn about what their society values. They also learn about the history of their society and how lifestyles and values have changed over time.

By studying art and music from other cultures, students learn about other people around the world. They learn about what is important in other societies. They learn about similarities and differences between cultures. They learn about the history and lifestyles of other places. New worlds are opened up to them.

By studying art and music in high school, students begin to understand themselves as well as their own culture and other cultures. What could have more value than that?
