В разделе Writing теста TOEFL вам придется написать два эссе на предложенную тему. Вашему вниманию предлагаем один из вариантов. Начинаем тренироваться!
Почему бы не рассказать в эссе о вещах земных, о хлебе насущном, о деньгах и нуждах школы? Практические интересы личности ничуть не хуже высоких устремлений.
Таким образом, перед вами открывается возможность продемонстрировать свою осведомленность и заинтересованность в жизни учебного заведения, в котором учитесь. Кроме того, здесь вы сможете затронуть и социальные проблемы, что очень важно для современного человека с равитым общественным сознанием.
A gift of money is generous and would be welcomed at our school. While there are many things that my school could use, first one must consider the amount of the gift and recognize the fact that a gift is, by nature, a one-time thing. Keeping this in mind, my school could most benefit from new classroom fixtures. While more teachers would be welcomed at our school, it would be misguided to hire new teachers without a way to continue paying their salary. If you were to look at our school, I'm sure that you would agree that nearly all of the classrooms could use new desks, chairs, chalkboards, bookshelves, and cabinets. Our school is old and the people who live here aren't very wealthy. Even though we value education highly, we are unable to provide our students with all that they need to learn.
New equipment would provide students with the tools they need to learn. It is hard to write papers if there arn't enough desks and chairs in the classroom for all of the students. It is hard for students to learn when the blackboards are so old that they can't be erased properly. It is also difficult to keep school supplies organized without proper bookshelves and cabinets.
Another plus that new equipment would provide is that it would make the school more attractive to the community. It is hard for a community to be proud of a school that is falling apart. If the community can feel that our school is important, perhaps others will give more money in the future, allowing us to further improve our school. Community members could come and help out in the school, making our school even better.
Students would be happier with new equipment. It will make them want to come to school and learn. There will be fewer dropouts. and by continuing in their education, these students will be able to better contribute to our community in the future — perhaps even becoming future schoolteachers.
While there are many things that can be purchased with a gift at our school, I believe that new equipment is the best choice. It would be a one-time expenditure of money, and new equipment will benefit the learning environment.
