It Is Better To Be A Member Of A Group Than To Be The Leader Of A Group? (TOEFL essay) Some people are able to be a leader, some are afraid of this position for some reasons. In my opinion and according my own experience it is better to be a leader than a team member. I feel this way for two reasons which I will explore in the following essay. To begin with, the leader has an opportunity to chose what to do and make a team follow to him. For example, I need to say that I am film director. My experience a good example of it. I get used to be a leader because I should be. Let’s imagine that I am only the member of the team. Who will inspire and lead me? Somebody who will take this role, however, in that case I have to obey the new leader and follow him. But I am a film director and this situation is not normal, is not it? Secondly, leader's role has more advantages than member’s role. The leader normally get a big portion of fame and, actually, money. If you like to be famous and earn more money than ordinary team members, this position is for you. As for me, I love this role. Let’s come back to filmmaking business and take a main character as an example. Obviously, we can compare the main role in the movie with leader’s role. Without a doubt, actors who play main roles normally get more money and acquire more fame than supporting actors. Therefore, even though leaders usually have more responsibility, the benefits outweigh disadvantages, in my opinion. In conclusion, I can say that to be a leader is more beneficial than to be a member of a team. This is because of two reasons. First, a leader has more flexibility in his work. Second, a leader get more fame and money.

Students Nowadays Can Learn More Information And Learn It More Quickly (Toefl essay) The technical progress can help with studying, but also can impact negatively on educational process. In my opinion, the new technology more likely help with studying and students can Learn More Information And Learn It More Quickly nowadays. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay. To begin with, internet is the most important invention in previous century, which gives us an opportunity to find information about all things that exist in the world. Therefore, the modern students do not need to waste a huge amount of time in libraries, so they can study more subjects compare with those days when their parents studied. For example, I remember how difficult was to find a necessary information or appropriate book in the huge public library. Now we can just push the button “enter”. Secondly, nowadays the technical progress has changed not only technical aspects of our life, but also an ability to perceive the information. Modern students acquired multitasking abilities. It means that they can do several tasks at the same time. Especially young people have this extraordinary ability. Our parents could only dream about it. For example, the son of my friend is 12 years old. I always surprised when I see how he can work with computer. Normally he studies school homework, answers to email or writes text messages and play computer game at the same time. In conclusion, the modern students have an opportunity to study more quickly and learn more information than before. This is because of technical progress, developing the internet and multitasking abilities of the modern young people.

People Do Many Different Things To Stay Healthy. What Do You Do For Good Health? Nowadays people are concerned about good health for several reasons. Obviously, good health is better than bad one and there are several reasons why people want to have a good health, but I will try to describe my own reasons and moreover, write about my method - how to keep a good health. First of all, people have lack of physical exercises nowadays because of technical progress. Cars, public transportation, special equipment reduce everyday activity. We usually sit, lie and do not move. Therefore, the best solution of this problem is movement. There are lots of sorts of physical activity, but my choice is swimming. I think jogging is not good for knees, gym is not good for bones, but swimming is really safe and healthy activity. In addition, ability to swim well can save my life offshore, for instance. Secondly, one very wise man said something like that - we are what we eat. It means that our food is very important thing in our life. Before I moved to the big city, I lived in a countryside. All my childhood I ate farmers product and felt good. However, after moving, I started to eat fast food and I have got some problems with my stomach. Now I try to eat healthy, organic food. It is more expensive than an ordinary food, however it weigh. Finally, one thing impacts on quality of our life very strong. This is stress. I try to reduce stress with several methods. First, I have a vacation with my family as often as it possible. Second, I do not work for money, only for pleasure (this is my favorite point). Third, I change the environment at least one time per year, because new impressions play very important role in maintaining of my health. In conclusion, based on the above arguments, I can say that good health is our treasure which can be always with us and it is very important to keep our health in a good condition for our selves and for society too.

The problem with Lake Powell (TOEFL essay) The reading passage and the lecture are both about Lake Powell which is the second largest man-made reservoir located in the border between Utah and Arizona states. The reading provides three reasons why this lake cannot be drained, however the lecturer refutes all these reasons by providing several proofs. First of all, the reading claims that Glen Canyon National Recreation Area will lose tourist attraction if Lake Powell drained. On the other hand the lecturer believes that Glen Canyon is very attractive for tourists it self and, moreover, it will attract more tourist than before. Therefore, it would not damage the revenue of the surrounding area. Secondly, the reading points out that Lake Powell is a big reservoir that gives water for surrounding area and this is a good water storage facility. However, this point is rebutted by the lecturer. He is of the opinion that amount of water in Colorado river is more than enough for environmental needs, because the level of evaporation is only 6,9%, therefore existence of Lake Powell is actually not necessary. Finally, the author of the reading passage mentions that lots of species will exterminate after draining Lake Powell. The lecturer, on the other hands feels that the dam impacts more dramatically for the environment. The Colorado river will more likely become small and weak.

ROMAN EMPIRE (TOEFL integrated essay) The reading and the lecture are both about wealth and power of Roman Empire during Classical Antiquity period. The author of the reading passage points out that the reasons of wealthy of Roman Empire are big and good skilled army, powerful emperors and high taxes. These three reasons, according to the reading allowed Roman Empire be wealthy, however the lecturer refutes all these points. First of all, the reading claims that Roman army was very powerful and skilled because the soldiers were professionals and volunteered for 20 years. However, this point is rebutted by the lecturer. He says that Roman army consisted of people who had different nationality. When this multinational army went to the operation, for example to conquer the neighbors, some of these soldiers were from these countries, therefore they were not able to serve properly. Second reason, according to the reading is power of Roman emperor who could lead all Empire very successfully. On the other hand, the lecturer cast doubt this claim. He feels that after death of the emperor, his power vanished until the new emperor appeared. Therefore, time between old and new emperor was very dangerous for Empire. Finally, the reading passage claims that wealth of Roman Empire was maintained by high taxes. The lecturer refutes this point, by saying that in the past time the treasures from conquered neighbors were not common occurance, so emperor needed to increase taxes. This situation was hardly liked by ordinary people. Therefore, ordinary people hated emperor and eventually it was one of the reasons why the great Roman Empire disintegrated.

Some People Like To Do Only What They Already Do Well. Other....(TOEFL) I know a lot of people in my hometown, my friends and others who still live there and do the same things during the years. I have to say that I left my home town, actually very small and very boring place, when I was sixteen years old. Those my friends who stayed there are still living there.

What Are Some Important Qualities Of A Good Supervisor (boss)? (TOEFL essay) What important quality should have a perfect boss? This is a very deep question. Did you notice sometime how employees hate their boss. I thinks it happens because the boss has lack of certain character and professional traits. I will try to describe some of them that are very important in my opinion. The perfect boss should be skillful, fair and ambitious. First of all, employees or colleagues have to feel that their boss is more skilled than their. This is a very important for success work. For instance, if I know that my boss knows more than me in certain area, I will trust him. A good boss has to have more experience than me, more knowledge than me, because only in that case I will respect him or her. Second important quality for a good boss is fairness. People are very sensitive about these things. For example, my college and I have equal qualifications and the same experience, but my colleague has more salary than me because the boss somehow love her more. It is unfair. This situation will cause a bad atmosphere in an office and furthermore the efficiency of work will decrease. Finally, I believe that a good boss should be ambitious. This quality is really necessary, because the more ambitious is the boss, the more successful he or she will. Obviously, people who have a lack of ambitiousness never become big bosses. This trait allows him or her to go further and further to the dream. I think a good boss dreams about success, good, friendly and efficient crew and achieving the goals. In conclusion, based on the argument explore above I can say that a good boss should have a lot of necessary qualities, but the most important are - skillfulness, fairness and ambitiousness.

New essay for your consideration (TOEFL topics) Some Universities Require Students To Take Classes In Many Subjects. Other Universities Require Students To Specialize In One Subject. Which Is Better? There are so many different fields for study nowadays and so many interesting subjects that young people have some problems to choose just one main subject for studying. However, to make a right choice is very important for success. In my opinion it is much better to specialize in one subject then to disperse yourself to multiple subjects. I will try to describe my opinion here. Regardless some universities propose to students wide range of subjects to study and young people can take biology course and acting course at the same time, I think this is the wrong way to study. First of all, student have to know what exactly he or she want to study. You can ask - how young guy can understand it? I will answer - studying in modern universities now is very expensive thing, therefore it would be better to know it before going to university, probably in college. Secondly, focusing on one subject can help to concentrate and discipline yourself. When young man decide to study biology for example, he or she will find information about this subject, to read certain science magazines and articles about this subject. Sometimes it is not funny and amusing, but always useful. Finally, I am sure that concentrating on one main subject of study is the way to success. Let’s imagine that one student decided to be an actor and biologist simultaneously. Did you hear about successful actor who was at the same time doctor of biology science? I believe - never. That is the answer. My humble advice for new students - take the one particular course and spend as much time as you can for study one particular thing; and you will successful in it. Therefore, based on the argument explored above I think university can suggest to student many different subjects, however a smart student will choose just one favorite subject and study hard.
