TOEFL essay: People should have read only factual books like real events, real... #1 (permalink) Sat Feb 23, 2008 6:30 am   TOEFL essay: People should have read only factual books like real events, real...
 

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should have read only those books that are about real events, real people, and established facts.

To survive in life, people might need to face many difficulties and ordeals which in order to overcome they also need have good preparations and diversified knowledge. One of the bests way to get knowledge is reading many types of books. Many people only read fact books, because they think only these books can bring advantages for the people and the fictional books are very useless. However; fictional books also give people many benefits.

Fictional books help people have creativeness in thinking. Because fictional books are the imaging products of many authors, these books include many ideas and rich visualizations. From these books, they can learn a lot of methods in figuring out or approaching their problems. It helps them become dynamical in working and solving their problems. Moreover, the way in explaining information in all kinds of books are very logical and systematical. And fictional books is not an exception ; it will give people have a logical way to understanding or doing anything. It is very great for anybody who has difficulties in their work or life, because solving problems in a logical way is easier than in complex ways.

Besides, imagining books bring people a balanced life. Nowdays, life are very difficult and dynamical, so people usually feel stress in their works. They always feel tired and nervous after a hard-work day. Hence; when come back home, most of people always want to have time to relax or need something can reduce stress for them. For these reason, reading fictional books is a good solution for all people. Because the content of these books always tend to explain the life are always beautiful and no difficulties, these books will make people feel happy or comfortable when they read. Thus; fictional books help them have a balanced state in the daily life.

It is clear that, the life is more modern and more developed day after day, so having geneal knowledge is very important for each person. Reading fictional books as well as factusl books is one of the best way to have diversified understanding. Moreover, fictional books also help people relax and have good moral to be able to be ready with any new work.

Hi man :) I am new here and today I was on a international competition that is from TOEFL character. The first level we had to cover was writing an essay (today) and the theme was exactly the same with yours "Do you agree or disagree whether people should have read only those books that are about real events, people and established facts". As I remember what I had written and in comparison with yours essay I want to say that you had made a very good essay :) If they bring back our essays to us I will share it in this topic. :)

Best Regards,

Hi mate :) Well I will mark the mistakes with red colour because I think it will be easier for you to see them. By the way they are very few indeed and I want to greet you :)

To survive in life, people might need to face many difficulties and ordeals which in order to overcome they also need have good preparations and diversified knowledge. One of the best way to get knowledge is reading many types of books. Many people only read fact books, because they think only these books can bring advantages for the people and the fictional books are very useless. However; fictional books also give people many benefits.

Fictional books help people have creativeness in thinking. Because fictional books are the imaging products of many authors, these books include many ideas and rich visualizations. From these books, they can learn a lot of methods in figuring out or approaching their problems. It helps them become dynamical in working and solving their problems. Moreover, the way in explaining information in all kinds of books is very logical and systematical. And fictional books are not an exception ; it will give people have a logical way to understanding or doing anything. It is very great for somebody (I think you ought use "anybody" in interrogative and negative sentences) who has difficulties in his/her work or life, because solving problems in a logical way is easier than in complex ways.

Besides, imagining books bring people a balanced life. Nowadays, life is very difficult and dynamical, so people usually feel stress in their work (no "s" here). They always feel tired and nervous after a hard-work day. Hence; when come back home, most people (no "of" here) always want to have time to relax or need something that can reduce stress for them. For these reasons (it must have "s" after "reason"), reading fictional books is a good solution for all people. Because the content of these books always tends (also must have "s" in the end of the word) to explain the life is always beautiful and has no difficulties, these books will make people feel happy or comfortable when they read. Thus; fictional books help them have a balanced state in the daily life.

It is clear that, the life is more modern and more developed day after day, so having geneal knowledge is very important for each person. Reading fictional books as well as factual books is one of the best way to have diversified understanding. Moreover, fictional books also help people relax and have good moral to be able to be ready with any new work.


Well, if I were a teacher, I would score you 5.75 for this essay :)
