Mahatma Gandhi after returning from south africa started his freedom fight against british.his one of the famous moment was dandi march.dandi march was a movement to oppose against the tax system of british on salt.During dandi march he traveled several hundreads of kilometer with his feet and dandi i.e stick towards the sea.along with him a lot of pepole joined to support him.at at the end he reached th sea shore and prepared saltby himself and opposed the british taxation system.
His style of opposing was very unique and nonviolent famously known till today as Satyagrahto .by using this technique he has he freed india from british regime.He did alot satyaghrahs to oppose british. satyagrah was mainly consisted of fast in front of goverment offices and other important placeds.Because of him today india and pakistan have seen indpendence and pepole here can live peaceful live.his satyagrah technique is used even today by pepole all over the world.[/b]

TOEFL listening discussions: What is Dr Schmidt researching?

Hi, your writing is not too bad. You only have a few grammatical errors. Your vocabulary is pretty basic though and you repeat many phrases too much. Your overall structure is not very good though. I was looking for 2 or 3 clear reasons why Gandhi was important with clarifications and examples to prove each reason. Your introduction also needs to end with a strong thesis statement stating your opinion. You can also sum up and repeat your thesis in the conclusion. This article gives a good description of what I am talking about: bookrags.com/articles/4.html.
