Hi, my TOEFL test is going to be soon, write comments on my essay. how much score i can get for this one?

Nowadays food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live?

The question being asked here is that if preparing food has become easier nowadays and if it has changed the way people live? This is a very interesting question and it is something that every individual no matter where they reside or what their economic status is has experienced in some way or the other. I believe that preparing food has definitely become easier and thus it has improved that way we live for the better.

Earlier times the method of preparation of food was exhaustingly lengthly and tiresome. For example making bread would mean getting or buying wheat then grinding it to a powder state then leaving it ferment and then baking it to eat ! Now that would take maybe a few hours or days to do ! and nowadays all that we do it buy it over the counter and then garnish it with cheese or butter or jam and eat it. This saves us a lot of time and energy and it is equally healthy.

Buying ginger garlic paste, bread, frozen food has made life more relaxed. Using almost ready food to cook saves a lot to time. This time one can use to devote to their other interests or hobbies. If you have peace of mind and time at your disposal you can plan your official work better and also do a better job and progress in your career.

Food is being made one day and kept frozen to be eaten for several days! This is a common practice today. If your mind is free of daily routine like cooking then you can focus on other activities, maybe going to the park with your children and bonding with them. This would create a healthy environment and relationship with you family members. Relationship needs nurturing and that needs time.

So I would believe that food being the basic necessicity of each day and since that has become easier to deal with one can concentrate on other activities which are of equal or more importance in our lives. We could better in our careers, better our relationships, pursue our hobbies thus improving the way we live.

Many people believe that television programes are of no value...

The issue here is that are television programs of value ? This is a very debatable question. In my opinion television programs are of value to us. Actaully it all depends on what you see on television and who is seeing what.

The first thing that comes to mind is that how does it affect children. When children see cartoons, most cartoons have a moral. Watching cartoons at a tender age which is entertaining for children and also they can grasp some learning out of it benefits them. Watching something like cartoons for children while they take a break from studies is better than doing or playing something which does not add to their knowledge.

A little older children when exposed to educational channels it does wonders to them. Anything that is heard or seen on TV registers in their minds very well. Studying from books get boring for a children so a television could be an alternative way to teach useful material. Also television channels like discovery channel shows a number of experiments with real apparatus or animals which makes it an interesting viewing. Anything done with interest and passion will always be remembered and not forgotten soon.

For adults who are in a better position to understand what is shown on television and can differenciate good from the bad and what can be done and what to be done by experts alone they could watch different kinds of movies or programs on any topic. A lot of knowledge can be gained from television in the areas of history, si-fi, natural habitat, current affairs, discoveries in the world and so much more.

Everday there is there is so much discovery, current affairs, so much happening around the world, tv is the best medium to give you uptodate information instantly. For example the stock market. What better a medium other than the tv can one have, tv channels give us current politial situation of every country which could affect the markets, expert analysis and advice, market trends and brought to your living room live!

Thus I strongly believe that TV programs are of value to us when seen in limitation and when the desired audience is seeing the program.
