Hi, you have written a pretty good essay. Try to improve your thesis statement and try to reduce your grammatical errors. Also try to increase your vocabulary, most of your words were fairly basic. Based on these scoring guidelines: http://www.ets.org/Media/Tests/TOEFL/pdf/Writing_Rubrics.pdf I would rate your essay a 21/30

What is your approach to problem-solving, and how does it work for you?
Every person has some problems on his/her way in[in his/her] life. It is very important to create your own strategies of problem solving and use it[them] when it is necessary. I have my own strategy too, which means [:] to think carefully, while taking some steps in [a] difficult situation. In my opinion, thinking helps you to find the best solution and avoid bad consequences and also it is very important to listen others opinions about the problem. {try to combine these two separate ideas better. Also, introduce listening to other's opinions earlier in your intro} As I have mentioned above, spending some time and thinking while solving the problem, is very important. I know a lot of people who did not take account this advice and they did not manage to solve the problem properly. My sister had some problems with her boyfriend. She is very sensitive and affectionate, so when little[a small] argument happened between her and her boyfriend, she immediately decided to finish[end] the relationship. As it became clear after some time, it[this] was not [a] wise decision, because he was really [a] good person who made [a] little, everyday mistake and[, which] my sister did not forgive it. If she [had] used more time and intelligence to solve the problem, she would be mistaken[not have made this mistake]. To my point of view, not only [is] careful thinking is essential for effective problem solving, it is also very important to hear[consider] different opinions about the situation and realize them. I think only one person [alone] will not be quite objective, especially in the situation where the main fault is his/hers. I think that someone's [else's] opinion is very useful in critical situations when you are confused and very often really do not know what to do. Every time I have problems, I ask about it to[consult with] my parents and they really help me. In conclusion, I think that every person can find good solution[s ] if she/he spend [a] reasonable [amount of] time to think about it and do not make immediate decisions. The second important aspect of effective problem solving is to hear different opinions about it and view the problem from the other side.
