What's the Topic to Write Today? A large number of students in non-English speaking countries have taken English exams like IELTS and TOEFL every year to get certified to be a good English speaker. It is often said that, however, studying English for some exams is waste of time and money in a practical way. I'll consider about pros and cons of it today. The reason why many English learners think so is because that to get good scores, it is evitable to make patterns to answer in time in a writing section, and that is unpractical for daily use. Moreover, most materials and teachers for exams recommend choosing the answer which is easy to write or the side which is supposed to be selected by the majority, not the personal thought of the student. As a result, when thinking of a new topic or an open question, it become quite hard to answer their own ideas. Another worst aspect of studying for exams is to require candidates to memorize a bunch of vocabulary which is hardly use in real life. On the other hand, Score tests are beneficial to some extent because it can visualize the progress of a study as the number and where the weak point of the student is. Also, there is an idea that even if it's an inefficient way to learn language, it's a reasonable way for someone who has difficulty with how to study. Lastly, taking exams cost money, and set a short-term goal; it works as a good motivator. Studying language is often liken to a journey. The journey is so much long that it is sensible to aim a realistic target. Thank you for reading this.

(Part One)

A large number of students in non-English speaking countries have taken * take English exams like IELTS and TOEFL every year to get certified as to be a good English speakers. However, it is often said that however studying English for some exams is an impractical waste of time and money. in a practical way
I'll consider about the pros and cons of it today.

The reason why Many English learners think/believe so is because that in order to get good exam scores, they will inevitably have to use a standard ^format to answer a writing section in time make patterns to answer in time in a writing section, and that such an approach to writing is unpractical for daily use.


Moreover, most learning materials created for exams and teachers teaching for exams recommend choosing the answer which is easy to write on or the side of an argument which is supposed to be selected by the majority instead of reflecting the personal thought of the student.


As a result, when learner are presented with thinking of a new topic or an open question, it become learners may find it quite hard to answer with their own ideas.

* As you are describing something done regularly every year by many students, you can use the simple present tense. The use of present simple tense is not only for ongoing actions in the present, but also ongoing (regularly repeated) actions in the past or the future. 

For example: 

I live (present simple tense) in Denver, CO. "live" means I lived in Denver every day in the past, I live in Denver every day now, and will very likely live in Denver every day in the future until the day I decide to shift. 

^ The word "format" describes a set way of arrangement or doing something. For example, we can have familiarise ourselves with the exam "format", and we can adopt a certain "format" for writing an argumentative essay. 

I hope this helps you.

What's the Topic to Write Today?

A large number of students in non-English speaking countries have taken English exams like IELTS and TOEFL every year (it seems as though you confused present perfect and present simple) to get certified to be a good English speaker  (IMO, you should reconsider this part. You neither have to be certified to be a good English speaker nor the opposite). It is often said that, however, studying English for some exams is a waste of time and money in a practical way.
I'll consider about pros and cons of it today.

The reason why many English learners think so is because that to get a good scores, it is inevitable to make patterns to answer in time in a writing section (two parts of your sentence don't work together: to get good score .... implies that you will give instructions or elaborate on the methods, but you start with an "it is...", which would work better as a detached setence), and that is unpractical(https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-unpractical-and-impractical) for daily use.


Moreover, most materials and teachers for exams (I would omit that) recommend choosing the answer which is easy to write or the side which is supposed to be selected by the majority, not the personal thought of the student.
As a result, when thinking of a new topic or an open question, it becomes quite hard to answer with their own ideas.
Another worst (there can't be two worst things) aspect of studying for exams is to require (it doesn't work considering that we are talking about an aspect. We might have to introduce a few words in order for it to work - "Another negative aspect of studying for exams is that it requires candidates to...")  candidates to memorize a bunch of vocabulary which is hardly used in real life.

On the other hand, Score tests (I'm confused) are beneficial to some extent because it (you were talking about tests) can visualize the progress of a study as the number and where the weak point of the student is. (a little incoherent, but fine)
Also, there is an idea that even if it's an inefficient way to learn a language, it's a reasonable way for someone who has a difficulty with how to study (I'd suggest to change it to "with studying").
Lastly, taking exams costs money, and sets a short-term goal; it works as a good motivator.
Studying language is often liken to a journey.
The journey is so much long (so long) that it is sensible to aim at a realistic target.

Thank you for reading this. I forgot to write about the fact I don't have to describe the truth of a topic like this entry. >_<
