Hi, a very good essay, I was all set to give it a 4 out of 5, but the last paragraph was pretty weak and you had no conclusion - I bet you were running out of time. Still a good effort and it proves that you can write well, if you can adapt to the time constraints. I will still give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Self-confidence is the most important factor for success in school or at work. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Nowadays, people have some features{"characteristics" is better} which are really vital for them in order to maintain their lives. There are various properties belonging to people, ıncluding working so hard, planning something effectively, and so on. However, I believe that one of the most prominent characteristics of [successful] people is self-confidence. Thus, I agree with the statement that self-confidence is the most significant term for achievement in school and at work. To begin with, self-confidence is very valuable property for people who can cope with many problems in a difficult situation, because it always urges them to overcome the problem. In other words, people can deal with their problems with the help of the self-confidence. When encounter[ed] with a serious problem, it compels them to minimize the[its] effects of it. For example, when I was at high scool, {sp} I really had so hard and uncomprehenable[incomprehensible] classes that made me really{try not to use "really' so often} upset due to their difficult[y]. In this case, I seriously believed["relied on" sounds better] my self-confidence, as it made[gave] me [the] urge to study for exams. Namely, it encouraged me to pass them. Furthermore, self-confidence makes people decisive to[in] overcom[ing] a matter when working at , or studying in school. In addition, it makes them believe so as to achieve their tasks, or commitments. Many people who have a lot of homework or work use this unbelievable characteristic to reach their targets. Therefore, it provides a great chance for people who have this wonderful property. To illustrate, when starting to study for TOEFL exam, my guide always says[said to] me that if you complete all stages of your study and also have self-confidence, you will really get a great grade from[on] the exam. Finally, it[self-confidence] makes people successfull{sp} throughout their all[whole] lives, since if people have not got this crucial term{"term" term isn't quite right - maybe aspect}, they will never be successfull{sp} in their lives. When people benefit from it in school or at work, they incredable relax. Along my school life, for instance, especially in university, I always relaxed thanks to this factor. Today, in my business life, I have again been relaxing when working with my friends, because I benefit from self-confidence, making people so productivity.{I don't quite understand the relaxing thing - make it more clear that self-confidence reduces your fear of failure which is what allows you to relax}
