, MOD E L' E S'S A Y S 267 Part of unconditional love is trust. My parents trust us to do what is right. They know we would never do anything to harm them. They trust us so we trust them. We know they won't hurt or mistreat us. Because our parents love us, they also respect us. They treat us as individuals. They accept our differences. They do not expect us to be like them. They want us to make our own way in the world, not follow in their footsteps. Without my parents' love, I would not feel confident. Without their trust, 'Iwould' not feel free to do what I want. Without their respect, I would notfeel comfortable on my own. All children should have such wonderful parents. In my country we need to use land for building. Our country is develOPing and. our industrial sector isgrowing. People are moving to the cities. We need to build more factories, houses, and stores. Our industrial sector has grown a lot over the past decade. We have built many factories and we will continue to build more. The growth of industry has helped our economy. There are more jobs now. If we build more factories, there will be even more jobs. Movies are popular because people are great watchers., We like to watch other pe9- pIe's lives. By going to the movies we can bring excitement into our lives, express our emotions, and imagine ourselves as someone else. Our lives are not adventurous or glamorous like the movies. We don't fight the bad guys all day and then go home to a luxury apartment. Wejust go to school, do our , homework, eat, talk to our friends, and sleep. We need a little excitement iniour lives and we find excitement at the movies. Humans are very emotional. We all like to cry and laugh. Sad movies give us a chance to cry about our sadness. Funny ones give us a chance to laugh about our joy. Sometimes it is easier to express our emotions in a dark movie theater. Now I am a student, but I know some day I want to be a scientist or a politician or a famous model. When I go to the movies, I can see my role models. I can see what they wear and how they talk. I can imagine myself as they are, and maybe some day I will really be like them. Even though my life is quiet, I can go to the movies and watch someone else's life. I can share their emotions and their everyday life. I wonder if they would like to share , mine. 180lEX 1811MA Movies are popular all over the world. Explain why movies are so popular. Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer. In your country, isthere more need for land to be left in its natural con- dition or isthere more need for land to be developed for housing and industry? Use specific reasons and'examples to support your answer. 268 HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE TOEFL ESSAY Building more factories means that we need more houses. Many people are mov- ing to the cities to getjobs in the new factories. They need places to live. Right now, we don't have enough houses in the cities. It is a bigproblem. We need to build more houses near the new factories. We also need to build more stores. When people move to live in a city, they need to go shopping somewhere. They need to buy food and clothes. Right now, our cities have a lot of stores in their downtowns. We need to build more stores, however, in the neighbor- hoods around thefactories. Then it will be easierfor people to do their shopping. They won't have to travel to a crowded downtown. Our economy isgrowing so we need to build many things. We need to build new factories, houses, and stores. This is the most important usefor land in my country today. 182 MA Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your ansWer. Pets are important because theyprovide us with companionship and eveJ1with love. It is not good, however, to have too close a relationship with a pet, or to treat it like a human being. Devoting too much attention topets can prevent you from focusing on other activities and on relationships with people. It can also be a waste of money. Sometimes people who love their pets don't want to become involved in other activi- ties. Jf you invite such afriend out for coffee, for example, thefriend mig~t say, "Idon't have time. I have to walk the dog. !! Sometimes people don't want to take a weekend trip because they don't want to leave their pets alone. Theyput their pets' interests before .their own. Then they live lifefor their pets and notfor thelnselves. Loving a pet too much can interfere with good relationships with people. Sometimes people neglect their spouses and children in favor of their pets. A person who lives alone might devote all his atteJ1tion to his pet. He might lose interest in making friends and , being with people. A relationship with a pet is less complicated than a relationship with a person. Sometimes it seems easier to choose pets overpeople. People spend thousands of dollars on theirpets, but this money could have other uses. It seeJns strange to buy special food for apet or take it to the doctor, when some people don't have these things. Children all around the world grow up without enough food, or never get medical care. It would be better to give a pet simple things and send· the extra money to charity. Pets give us a lot and they deserve our care and attention. It is never a good idea to go to extremes, however. It is important to balance your pet's needs, with your oWn MOD E L E S SAY S 269 can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. have you learned about a country from watching its movies? specific examples and details to support your response. When I watch movies from other countries, I realize that people everywhere really are similar. We may have different languages and cultures, but we all want to get an education, need to make a living, and like to have fun. Once I saw a movie made in China. It showed parents helping their children with their homework. My parents helped me the same way. Another time I saw a movie from Argentina. It showed schoolchildren playing a game during recess.My friends and I used toplay the same game at school. Seeing thesefilms showed me that education is a common goal in every country. Children go to school and their parents help them with their work and want them to do the best they can. Education is something we all haLJe in common. By watching foreign movies, I see the different ways people earn a living Insome countries, people choose their careers according to their interests and talents. In other countries, their parents choose their careers for them. But in every country, finding a way to earn a living is a major concern, and working hard is respected. Earning a liv- ing is another common goal. Movies often show how people have fun. People everywhere want to be entertained and want to spend time with family and friends. Different cultures may enjoy different types of activities, but all cultures enjoy some form of sports, music, and dancing. Everybody likes to have fun. The movies I've seen make it clear to me that no matter what the cultural differ- ences are between countries, people everywhere have the same basic needs and goals. 184 PR Some students prefer to study alone. Others prefer to study with a group of students. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. I don't like to study alone. I almost always prefer to study with a group of students. This helps me learn the material better, it keeps mefocused, and it'sfun. too. .1 learn more when I study with a group. In a group, we can help each other out. If I missed something in class, another student in the group can give me the missing irifor- mation. If I don't understand something, the other students can explain it to me. When . .we discuss topics together, we develop our ideas and understand the topic better. . Studying in a group helps keep me focused. I am with friends who are studying, so I study, too. If I study alone at home, I might get qistracted. I might put my books down and go watch TV or call afriend. In a group, we decide a time and aplace to study, and then we do it. We keep each otherfocused on the task. It's more fun to study in a group than alone. Ifeel happy when I am with my friends, even when we are working hard. After wefinish studying, we usually go out for 270 HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE TOEFL ESSAY coffee or to the movies. This is something to lookforward to. It is always nice to spend time with my friends. I lookforward to being with my friends, so I lookforward to studying when I study with them. The group helps me study better and learn more. Studying with a group is the best way for me. 1851MAl You have enough money to purchase either a house or a business. Which would you choose to buy? Give specific reasons to explain your choice. If I had enough money, I would purchase a business, not a house. A house is only a place to live, but a business is much more. With a business, I could earn enough money to buy a house and do other things as well. I could travel,for example, and I could help my family, too. 1 have always wanted to buy a house, and a business would make this possible. With a business I would earn enough money to buy a house. It might not happen right away, but after a few years in the business, I am sure I would have enough money. Then I would have both a business and a house. After I buy my house, I could use my money to travel. I would like to visit other countries. With a business, I could earn enough money to do this. I might also travelfor business. I might have to go to other countries to attend conferences or meet clients. One way or another, a business would give me the chance to travel. One of my goals is to help my family. My parents don't own a house. With a busi- nf!ss, I could help them buy one. I could also take care of them when they get older. I would also like to be able to send them on a trip. If I had a good business, I could help my parents in all these ways. A house isjust one thing, but a business is so much more. A good business would give me the opportunity to buy a house, travel, and help my parents. Buying a business is an investment for thefuture. o ANSWER IffiY CHAPTER 2 Practice 3 CHAPTER 3 3.4.
