Parents should teach children how to be good members of society? Or school? **This is an IELTS writing practice. Please help me correct my articles. Thanks for your help.** *The topic is: Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.* I think neither parents could thoroughly teach their children how to be good members in the society, nor the school. It depends on miscellaneous situations and circumstances. Before going to school, children have a lot of time being with their parents and siblings. Kids would learn how to communicate with people who are much older than them, just like parents. Also, they could learn how to communicate with peers, just like their siblings. Educated such communication ways properly during their childhood by parents, children could have a “practice test” before taking the real test of entering the society. For instance, kids in kindergarten already have their own way to communicate with others. Some kids are like the king of children, whereas some are so timid that they cannot express their own opinions well. Therefore, parents, or family have a great influence on the way children behave before attending school. However, parents and family cannot teach all of the ways being as good members in the society. Attending school, children would usually make new friends. In the subsequent period of their school life, children would face many challenges, like working with others as a group, or making friends as a group. For example, the cleaning jobs is always a major part of our school life in Taiwan. We have to do the cleaning jobs with others almost everyday in school. As a result, the cooperation and negotiation with others would be a very important task for everyone. We can learn how to work with others by the daily tiny jobs. Those experience enrich our mind and thoughts, and thus improve our ways to be good members of society. As a consequence, I believe that parents and school have important impact on the possible social behavior of children.

State the most effective media for communicating information. **This is an IELTS writing practice. Please help me correct my articles. Thanks for your help.** *The topic is: Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of the following as media for communicating information. State which you consider to be the most effective. comics, books, radio, television, film, theatre Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.* I think that the most effective way to get information is by television for the following reasons. Let's compare some features of books, radio, and television. First, for the books, people have to be self-motivated to buy and read the book for acquiring the information. On the other hand, listening the radio and watching television don't really have to be self-motivated. You can just sit on a chair or sofa and receive those information from the devices. From this points of view, people would tend to use radio and television to get the information because of the convenience and the effectiveness. Also, people get lazier than before. Second, the cost of listening the radio and watching TV are cheaper than reading books in the long run. Therefore, the proportion of having a TV or a radio at home is larger than before and tend to larger and larger. Having a television and a radio is not a hard task anymore. Third, TV programs could be more creative than the other two types of communication ways because we can see the people and scenes on the screen. For example, my mom loves watching soaps everyday on TV. But can we see those soaps from books or radio? Definitely no. We can only read words from books and listen the voices of DJs from the radio. All in all, television is more attractive to us. People are used to watch television everyday now. Parents watch news and children watch cartoons respectively. Since we are easier to access information than before, we should have the ability to judge whether the information is correct or not.

Is it more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends? *This is a TOEFL writing practice. Please help me correct my article. Thanks for helping me!! * **The topic is: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends. ** I agree with the statement that it is more important to keep your old friends than it is to make new friends for the following reasons. First of all, you would have some memories with your old friends. You guys always can talk about things you have been through in the past. For example, when I was in high school, some of my friends hided my chair and table in the classroom in order to fool me on the fool's day. As I walked into the classroom, I was very nervous about it when I found my table and chair were not in their position. In the end, I found them in other classroom. I was angry but felt funny at the same time. Now, I would still talk about those silly things with my old friends. Secondly, you don't have to be careful with your old friends because you are very familiar with them. You know what they like and what they don't like. So you would feel more comfortable with your old friends than with new friends. For instance, a friend of mine doesn't like people say something behind others. Then we would never gossip others when we are with her. But for my other friends, we just need some gossiping time for fun. Finally, you can trust your old friends more than your new friends. Because you have been through many things with your old friends, you can trust them. Sometimes, we would need other's help. At this point, you would always ask your old friends a favor, instead of your new friends. And of course, your old friends would always love to help you. Thus, I think to keep your old friends is more important to make new friends.
