TOEFL Essay 75 with the model answer:

Read the question below. You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. You should write at lease 300 words.


In the future, students may have the choice of studying at home by using technology such as computers or television or of studying at traditional schools. Which would you prefer - technology based education or traditional schools?


Use reasons and specific details to explain your choice.

Model Answer:
We are greatly influenced by the use of technology and it has become too usual to use the technological achievements in our daily life. As a result, every stage of life is being influenced by technology and this is positive indeed. There are some views that students should study home using the technology while others oppose the idea and want to have real-life schooling in the traditional schools and academic institutions. But I prefer the first one for the following reasons.

When the children are in class in a traditional school, they spend most of the time with the other classmates and friends which are really a wastage of time. They do not get interested in focusing on the class and lecture. But the scenario is just the opposite in the classes taken with the help of technology. They sit at home and focus on the class lectures for themselves. In fact, if they miss the lecture, the teacher will not repeat the thing again. So, they need to remain focused on their lectures through the technology.

Moreover, when the children are engaged with the classes at their home, they come to know about the technical issues more than the ordinary people. It is helpful for them in their future life. In fact, the familiarity with technology will be an asset for them. They will not need to be versed in the technological issues again. And they would also use the earned knowledge for their career development.

Besides, learning is more effective when the environment is convenient. The students can have their own environment where they can learn in a relaxed mode which is a most important thing for them. But in the classroom, they will not get the desired environment as they have in their homes.

To conclude, it is evident that studying at home is better than studying to the traditional institutions. Learning from home is more suitable for them and it is really effective in their personal and private life as well.

What are some important characteristics of a co-worker

TOEFL Essay 73 with the model answer:

Read the question below. You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. You should write at lease 300 words.


We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker (someone you work closely with)?


Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.

Model Answer:
Working with different types of people is a very usual event in the present day. When working with a co-worker, the opposite person needs to have some important characteristics without which it is not possible to work with him or her. Some of the most important characteristics are explained here.

First of all, the co-worker needs to be sincere. In fact, people who are insincere in their duties are the people to create troubles in the workplace. They create some unwanted issues. For instance, someone told me that he had a colleague who is not sincere and for him, there are lots of troubles like the team failed to deliver the outputs in time. All the other team members had to work hard for reaching the deadline within the budget time. But if the man was sincere to his responsibilities, the teamwork would have been easier.

Besides, honesty is another important characteristic for a co-worker. If the co-worker is dishonest, it is really impossible to work for a long time and produce the desired outcome. The similar thing happened with another person. He got a co-worker who was dishonest in obeying the responsibilities. Whenever he was asked if he had completed the jobs, he would say that he did which was not true. Later, the work pressures were more that slipped the productivity.

Communication skill is another important aspect in this case. If the co-worker fails to communicate effectively, it becomes harder to complete the jobs. In fact, the miscommunication between the co-workers can lead to a great disaster that can cause serious troubles for the office.

Based on the aforesaid aspects, a co-worker should possess the characteristics. They are really important and a must for everyone who works in a team. Without the combined efforts, this is not possible to reach a common goal set from the office. A good co-worker also should adapt to changing situations, be helpful to other members and co-worker working around them.

What is a very important skill a person should learn

TOEFL Essay 72 with the model answer:

Read the question below. You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. You should write at lease 300 words.


What is a very important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today? Choose one skill and use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.


Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.


Model Answer:
In this present world, it is really necessary to have some skills to produce a better performance so that living becomes comfortable. In fact, without the right skills, it is hard to manage everything and maintain a balanced life. Someone's career or even private life might come under risk if there is a lack of necessary skills. So, I think communication is the most important skill of the day to be successful for the following reasons.

Without an effective communication skill, it is impossible to perform smoothly in this present context. Actually, it is an effective communication which brings the success. A large number of misunderstandings happen for the communication gaps between parties and the results appear detrimental for both. Certainly, there are some other skills available like patience, knowledge, cooperation, public relations etc. which are also required but to apply them in our life, we need to be a good communicator first.

If someone fails to send or receive the message effectively, there are chances that he will not get the job done in the desired way. Recent surveys have found that majority of the disagreements and quarrels in a family, especially between husband and wife, take place for miscommunication. For instance, if couples do not have frequent conversations or have a lack of understanding, which often happens due to the lack of proper communication, the life becomes miserable. A good communication skill also enhances the career opportunity and higher management always prefers to promote someone with better communication and management skills.

Based on the reason above, it is evident that communication is the key to be a successful individual in the present world. All the other skills turn of no use if someone does not have the communication skill. So, communication is a very important skill today, in my opinion.

In general, people are living longer now

TOEFL Essay 71 with the model answer:

Read the question below. You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. You should write at lease 300 words.


In general, people are living longer now. Discuss the causes of this phenomenon.


Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.


Model Answer:
The average age of people is on the rise. According to a recent statistics, people are living longer now than 20 years before. It happens for several reasons like a healthy food habit. Besides, improved medical services, healthy lifestyle and recreational activities also play important roles in this regard. The details are described here.

All the beings on this planet live on foods. And the foods vary based on regions and availability. Earlier, people did not take the nutritious foods rather only met up their hunger. But now with the advancement of medical science, people take foods with nutritious values. The foods are improved and thus human body has become able to battle with the malnutrition and other diseases that weaken people in the past days.

The improved medical facilities are the other reasons for the increased lifespan of people. Earlier, a majority of people had to die even for simple diseases as they did not have the idea to deal with the sickness. So, they were prone to death and child mortality rate was on the rise. One of my cousins has died a premature death when I was a child suffering only from cold. In fact, the medical facilities were least developed in those days. Moreover, adopting a healthy lifestyle is also contributing in this prolonged lifespan. Most of the people are now aware of their health and they have adopted many healthy activities with them like walking in the morning or in the evening, participating in outdoor sports and other types of exercises and more. As a result, they are having a prolonged life.  

Recreational activities also play an important role. The more people get relaxation, the more their moods turn healthier. And it is well known that a healthy mood helps greatly to increase lifespan. As a result, the average lifespan of people with a good mood is on the rise.

To sum up the issue, it could be predicted that if people continue performing in sports, take good foods more and get the right medical services they need, the average lifespan will increase more.
