TOEFL essay: What is your approach to problem-solving, and how does it work... Wed Dec 05, 2007 5:02 am  TOEFL essay: What is your approach to problem-solving, and how does it work...
 

Life is like a paper which has set of problems. Every day we face different types of problems and each problem is unique so we have to find a unique solution for each problem. I believe that each person approach problems in their own way. As for me, the way of approaching the problem is depend on the problem and the situation.

Firstly, problems could be categorized as common to all and personnel problems. Most of the problems are common to everybody. In such a case I usually take advises from my parents, relations, friends and other advisers. For instance, during my undergraduate studies, we had to select the research area. Actually that was a big problem to me. So I met our couple of research advisors to get advises. That was really helpful for me. Further senior students of our faculty were very helpful for subject related problems. On the other hand it is bad to think our own point of view is the best option and it is always better to contact elder or senior person to for advises. Then we may aware of their ideas and how they solved those problems in past. As well as not only from one source, we can get useful information from different sources. After getting ideas and different view points from others, I should emphasize that; the final decision should always be taken by me.

Secondly, we face some problems which are personnel. In such a case I usually prefer to get ideas from my parents or from very close relations. Since those problems may directly affect to life, I always suppose to get an intelligent decision. For example, when finding my life partner, I discussed with my parents and my own sister. I wanted to be careful in facing such a problem because the life partner is the one of the major factor and that decision may affect to our whole lifetime.

Thirdly, I used to take each problem as a challenge and face them bravely. The success of a person could be determined by how well find solutions to problems and how efficient in solving problems.

In conclusion, problems should be solved very carefully and there is no any specific way to solve a problem, the solution depends on the problem and the situation.

You probably mean that life is like a book with many different pages?

Please try to rewrite this sentence in such a way that the word "problem" doesn't occur three times.

Please try to avoid such elementary mistakes as forgetting to add "es" to "approach". (... each person approaches....)

What about: "I try to find an individual solution for every situation I face.

Firstly, problems could be categorized as common to all and personnel problems.

Here you start enumerating two points by using the words "firstly" and "secondly". The first point you are trying to make is that problems can be categorized into two groups -- common and individual. ("Personnel would not work because it's a noun meaning "staff".) So your first point is the categorization itself and you are mentioning both categories. Then you are introducing the next point which is the second category of problems. It would be more logical to say something along these lines: "Problems can be divided into two main categories. First, there are "common problems" that everyone of us faces and second, there are individual problems."

The noun "advice" is uncountable so there is no plural form of "advice".
