[size=150]TOEFL Essay[/size]
Here is the topic of Longman Preaparation for TOEFL. I did it pretty quickly( I almost finished it in 22 mins), but I was lack of ideas. Indeed, I am not very aware of the topic. Just try to spread my essay so that it isn’t too short. Boring, I think. Pls check my grammatical mistakes, 'cause I really did it under the pressure of time.
Topic: What is your approach to problem-solving, and how does it work for you? Use specific details to support your respond.
It’s obviously hard to advoid problems. We always have troubles in doing anything. However, we have to learn how to treat our problems. I believe that facing the problems bravely and finding the solutions as soon as possible is the most feasible way.
Firstly, we shouldn’t reject any problem we encouter. We should deal with it bravely. For example, when doing a history project, I was unable to give my best and got very bad mark. I felt very depressed and disappointed. Fortunately, my teacher gave me another opportunity and encouraged me much. She adviced me that I should learn from where my mistakes had come and try to overcome them. As a result, I learned valuable experience to redo the project best and not to give up whenever I fail.
Secondly, dealing with and overcoming any problem with the positive attitude help us improve ourselves. We can learn many things from our failure to live better. In that way, we can be more majure and know how to cope with this life on our own. Any problem or mistake we have can help open our eyes of what are our weak poins which we should work on. Consequently, we can have a better life, and due to our experience, we can also be very helpful to other people.
Finally, by finding the solutions to the problems, I can get other wonderful ideas. There might be many ways to do that work, and I can choose which is the best way. Moreover, I can advoid unexpected things that might hinder or slow my work. Therefore, I can get the best result and enjoy my achievement. It’s true that I’m not only the person who have benifits from my success. If I’m working in a team, I will have a hand in helping other people. So every member of our team is satisfied with the success of team work.
In sum, it’s good not to have problems or mistakes in our lives, but it’s still very good if we can learn from them to live better.
Thanks a lot.
