TOEFL essay sample: Some people spend their entire lives in one place #1 (permalink) Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:13 am   TOEFL essay sample: Some people spend their entire lives in one place
 

Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.

my answer:
Different people have different views on which place people prefer to live in.Some people hold the opinion that they enjoy living in one place.Yet other people hold a different point of view that they like to move a number of times throughout their lives.

Those who hold the first opinion think that you can’t feel unfamiliar living in one place.To some extent,it is easy for someone to find a new shop,without spending too much time.Generally,old people like to live in one place for they don’t have enough ability to receive new things.In addition,there are much more job opportunities waiting for people who are living in one place.Because companies think that those people who live in place is not likely to work for another one.

In contrast,those who hold the second view think that you can enjoy your life better.Firstly,you can choose a city where the climate is fit for you.People can move to a warmer place ifthey don’t like cold weather.The weather is good or bad that people can choose.Secondly,people can have a good communication with all kinds of people who were coming from different countries.People can know different culture or habit from different people if they move to live in another place.

In my opinion,I agree to the latter opinion to some extent.Admittedly,people living in one place will feel damiliar with some places.But,it’s easy to feel boring,and you can’t receive much more fashionable things as well as have a good communication with other people from other countries.Although moving to another place contains some weakness such as you may far away from your family,but compared with the advantage,the disadvantage is small.Therefore,I prefer to move to another place if it is possible.

HI,

Different people have different views on which place people prefer to live in.Some people hold the opinion that they enjoy living in one place.Yet other people hold a different point of view that they like to move a number of times throughout their lives.

Those who hold the first opinion think that you can’t feel UNCOMFORTABLE living in one place.To some extent,it is easy for someone to find a new shop,without spending too much time.Generally,old people like to live in one place AS they don’t have enough ability to ACCEPT new things.In addition,there are MANY more job opportunities waiting for people who are living in one place because companies think that those people who live in place ARE not likely to work for another one.

In contrast,those who hold the second view think that you can enjoy your life better.Firstly,you can choose a city where the climate is SUITABLE for you. People can move to a warmer place if they don’t like cold weather.The weather is good or bad that people can choose.Secondly,people can have good communication with all kinds of people who were coming from different countries.People can know different cultureS or habitS from different people if they move to live in another place.

In my opinion,I agree to the latter opinion to some extent. Admittedly,people living in one place will feel Familiar with some places.But,it’s easy to feel borED,and you can’t GET MANY more fashionable things as well as have a good communication with other people from other countries.Although moving to another place CREATES some DISADVANTAGE such as you may BE far away from your family,but compared with the advantage,the disadvantage is small.Therefore,I prefer to move to another place if it is possible.

Hello,
Pleasr rate my essay

Every one has different openion to about spending their live one place or move to other place. I will prefer to move to the other location for better job, house, education etc.

I had seen my grandparents spent their life at same place. And they were happy as they lived. But now time changes opportunities are every where and world is connected for every one.

Moving from one place to other is not easy, it change life alot, and it take time adject to with the area,food, people etc. But even though people prefer to move because of the better opprtunity then their current work/job. Some move for further studies its all depend on person to person attitude towards their life and goal.

For example A student get admision in good school from where he/she not belong. And moved there, After graduation other city for job. with that he/she change house for good community or commute etc. And preferance can change time to time for moving.
Most of the working class people relocate.

After retairment some people move where they get suitable environment for their health or to the eldult communites where they get same age company to spent enjoyable reteirment life.

In my openion moveing one place to other become important to grab opprunites and live life with the time.
