Why do people attend college or university? Living in the 21st century education has become extremely important in every individual’s life. Generally speaking I believe that people, most of the times attend college because they want to find a job decent job, particularly if they want to succeed. First of all, I believe that people go to colleges to improve their knowledge for that particular area that they want to specialize in their future careers. Certainly, I think that colleges can provide a lot of information about subjects which you might not be able to study on your own. By way of example, if you are planning to be a doctor, you certainly must enroll into a medical college to help you understand the human body, as a complex structure. In addition to the importance of new knowledge, people nowadays attend college because they want to have well payed jobs. These days, it’s extremely hard to find a job if you don’t have a college degree, unless, of course, you don’t want to be a waitress or a taxi driver. Being part of this era, a college degree is a must; it is like you haven’t even finished high school. Furthermore, things nowadays are more expensive than they used to be, so it is crucial to have decent payed job if you plan on surviving. Finally, I’ll be the first one to admit that I am going to college because of new experience. Colleges do not only improve your knowledge but they also give you a chance to be a part of a sorority and improve your social skills .Who doesn’t want to meet new people that have the same interests as you do? By way of conclusion, based on the arguments explored above, I’m of the opinion that people go to colleges or universities to benefit their future careers.

:'((( In the lecture, the professor made several points about the power of information. The professor argues that even though educated people have the facts about a specific problem they aren’t going to change their minds. On the other hand, the reading contends that by having facts people are going to be better citizens in their country which isn’t necessarily true. The professors’ lecture casts doubt on the reading by using a number of points that are contrary to the beliefs of the reading passage. The first point that the professor uses to cast doubt on the reading is that facts don’t necessarily change peoples’ mind. In fact, he states that the high educated people are less likely to be open to new information while the other ones with the low educational rate are ready to receive new information with open doors. Another thing that he mentions is that facts carry about the information, and people don’t care about that instead he says that stories are the ones that change peoples’ minds. This differs from the reading, which states that if people do not have correct information from the media they aren’t going to be able to understand the issues. Next the professor discusses the reading’s point about searching for the truth. The professor claims that people base their opinion on their beliefs rather on facts. They even accept bad information if they make the standards of their beliefs. Moreover, he argues that new information doesn’t affect them. However, the reading states that people are going to search for the truth no matter which contradicts the listening. Another reason why the professor disagrees with the points of the author of the reading passage is that people will not listen to the new information if they are threatened. He claims that they are easier to be controlled by politicians. While on the other hand reading passage posits that people are going search for the truth, due to their natural instincts.

Are zoos modern animal prison? Are zoos modern animal prison? That’s a good question. Many people think that animals are not well treated while being kept in zoos, however I do not share the same opinion. First of all, it is crucial to mention the importance of learning from zoos. Certainly, it is important for kids that are just starting school to recognize and learn about all the different spices that live in our planet. Furthermore, it is not just kids that are being educated, but also adults. By having zoos people get a chance to see all the animals from all over the world. Another reason why I consider that zoos are not animal prisons is that they are actually saving a lot of them from extinction. Imagine if we didn’t have zoos were would all these precious animals (pandas, jaguars, elephants) be . By way of conclusion, based on the arguments explored above, I’m of the opinion that zoo is not a place of prison but a place for renewing lives of animals.

TOEFL ibt -Integrated taks writng Question: Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, being sure to specifically explain how they cast doubt on points made in the reading. In the lecture ,the professor made several points about altruistic sides of sentinel meerkat and people. The professor’s lecture casts doubt on the reading by using a number of points that are contrary to the beliefs of the author of the article. The fist point that the professor casts doubt on the reading is the altruistic side of the meerkat. According to the recent researches the professor argues that sental mammals aren’t in danger when guarding for predators. He claims that sental meerkants eat before they guard so they are not left hungry as the reading passage states. Moreover, the professor argues that the sental meerkant is not in danger when looking for predators but in fact ,the other,hunting, meerkants are the ones. Furthermore, the professor argues that the alarm that sental meerkant produces draws attention to the predator and that puts in danger other meerkans, which opposes the writer who claims that this helps other meerkants to run to their shelter. Next the professor discusses the reading’s points about the altruistic side of people. The listening says that human behaviors are altruists as presented in the reading. The professor says that when donating a kidney to a complete stranger that individual receives an appreciation from the community. So this kind of act is not considered altruistic. In conclusion, the points made in the lecture contrast with the reading. The recent researches for sental meerkants and the unselfishness of people demonstrate that altruism can sometimes be confused which puts the reading passage in doubt. *I have provided you with the reading and the listening transcript so you can fairly evaluate my score. How many points out of 30 would have I gotten with this writing ?

E-mail Dear Sue, I just got you e-mail so I decided to write back straightaway. I’m so glad to hear that you are finally coming to visit me! I‘m dying to see you again. It’s so long since we last saw each other-it must have been three years ago when we did that summer course. We had such a good time with Luke, Ashton and the rest. I wonder what they are all up to now? Have you kept in touch? As for getting to my home town, you’d be best off taking a train since there are hourly connections. And there is no need to rent a hotel room when you clearly can stay with me. When it comes to entertainment, you’ve chosen a good month to visit. There’s lots to do. For example we could go visit a lovely park or even visit a medieval castle which certainly stands out in our town. Let me know how you feel about that? Usually it’s pretty hot during the summer time so it’d probably be a good idea bringing some light and loose clothes like T-shirts, shorts, dresses, flip flops... Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to know. Love, Sarra

The fox GENERAL INFORMATION One of the most appealing animals found in this country is the fox. Foxes are the smallest wild members of the canine family, which includes dogs, coyotes and wolves. These curious creatures are easily identified by their long bodies, short legs, soft thick fur, long bushy tail and dog-like face. Their long bushy tails are useful for balance, warmth and signaling communication. They live on diet of small rodents, fruit, berries, grass and insects. These animals use a lot of patience and an exceptional sense of smell to catch their pray. And after their pray had been caught they carry it back to the den before its eaten. Some foxes create families but more often they travel solo and do not form packs like wolves. Their offspring, called kits, will stay with the parents only until they can alone search for their food. OBSERVING FOXES Foxes usually live in forested areas, though they are also found in mountains and grasslands. These animals are the most widespread mammals after humans and yet there are small chances that you get to see one. You are most likely going to see foxes during the daylight hours since they usually spend that time resting and grooming their exquisite coat. And during the night-time they are predators because their eyes are specially adapted for night vision. The best place to see foxes in this country in the north. So if you ever go hiking or jogging in National park Biogradska gora, with a little bit of luck you might catch a sight of this outrageous animal.

A proposal Introduction The purpose of this proposal is to suggest how my country could contribute to the international festival in London. Our National History Montenegro has a rich and fascinating cultural life. Our culture is fully embedded in ancient traditions. The history area is very complex so I am not going to get into that instead I am going to inform you about our National Museum of Montenegro which is placed in Cetinje, the city which is a very important religious and historical center of Montenegro. The museum is divided into five departments which are Museum of History, the Art Museum, the Ethnographic Museum and the Archaeological Museum. I would recommend visiting Biljarda,the museum of Petar II Petrovic Njegos.Njegos is known as the greatest Montenegrin poet and often also as a philosopher. His museum is full of military costumes, photos of soldiers with outlandish mustaches, exquisitely decorated weapons, documents , bishop’s clothing, fabulous furniture and many other various things. So it is definitely a must see attraction. And what I propose is to somehow bring all these historical objects in order to relive our history. Outdoor Life Montenegro is a place where numerous celebrations take place every month. I suggest that we create events aimed at people in their early and mid-twenties. For example we can organize different music festivals such as Exit Sea Dance Festival which takes place in one of the most beautiful beaches on Adriatic Sea. Visitors would be amazed and captivated by the beauty of Montenegrin seaside. Except for the young population, we should also try attracting people different ages and one way to do this is through carnivals. I recommend showing a video so visitors could see how streets are filled with costumed people enjoying performers, fireworks and parades. National cuisine In order to get the heart of Montenegro visitors should try the specialties of national cuisine. The large influence on Montenegrin cuisine came from Turkey, Serbia and Italy. What I recommend is bringing all the traditional dishes such as kajmak, cicvara , pies, fish soup,kacamak,burek, cevapi, smoked fish... so visitors could try them. And after a great meal they could pour some wine like Vranac for on it all. I am sure that no one can resist a great meal with a exquisite glass of wine. Conclusion To sum up, I believe that Montenegrin culture would be a great addition to your cultural festival in London.
