Pre-TOEFL writing, some of the qualities of a good parent

Writing Topic

What are some of the qualities of a good parent? Use specific details and examples to explain your answer.

☆Hints for Points

A good parent …

1.    does not neglect his or her children, and provides necessary care and protection for them.

Many children suffer or die because of neglect.

2.    guide the child to be independent and help it (to) join in the society when it is appropriate.

Weaning oneself from one’s child at the right time is important.

3.    considers his or her children as other individuals not his or her belongings.

Forcing children to do what they want them to do is harmful.

4.    can share thoughts and feelings with the child.

Sharing information helps the child stay away from problems.

5.    controls his or her emotions so that the child will not get confused and he or she can feel secure.

Mothers of good students are relaxed and never fail to keep smiling every day.

6.    shows good examples for the child to follow.

Learning is imitating.

Pre-TOEFL writing, a vacation or a car?

Writing Topic

A friend of yours has received some money and plans to use all of it either to go on a vacation, or to buy a car. Your friend has asked you for advice, Compare your friend’s two choices and explain which one you think your friend should choose. Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.

☆Let’s Think

A vacation and a car are both related to going somewhere. What are their differences?

☆Hints for Points

1.    A vacation includes traveling abroad while a car-trip usually does not.

2.    A travel which costs as much as a car will provide a life-time memory.

3.    A car allows more freedom than a vacation, which requires you to use public transportation.

4.    You can travel as many times as you like by car while a vacation happens only once.

5.    You can sell a car later and get some money back, if you like.

6.    You can use a car for other purposes than traveling such as driving your family to the station.

☆Sample Introduction Sentences

1. I think my friend should choose a vacation because a good vacation is more precious than any experience you may have with a car.

2. Both a vacation and a car have good points, but I would recommend that my friend buy a car rather than go on a vacation if the person can spend the same amount of money on either of them.

☆Sample Conclusion Sentences

1. In conclusion, I think a friend of mine should choose a car because it makes the person’s life richer.

2. Therefore, I would highly recommend going on a vacation.

3. For reasons above, I strongly believe that taking a trip to Europe will be much better than buying a car.

☆Sample Essay Structures

 Sample Essay Structure A

【Introduction = Outline】

【Good Point 1】

【Good Point 2】

【Why bad points do not matter】

e.g. It is true that once a vacation ends you have nothing while a car can be used to take a trip repeatedly, but going abroad is an experience which is invaluable. / Of course, driving is not free from troubles such as accidents or looking for parking, but that is part of life and you should not miss the opportunity to obtain the means of personal mobility.

【Conclusion = Wrap-up】

【Introduction = Outline】

【In the case of a car】

【In the case of a vacation】

【My recommendation and the reason】
