Question 2:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People benefit more from traveling in their own country than from traveling to foreign countries.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Be sure to use your own words. Do not use memorized examples.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Answer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some people think that travelling inside your country is better than travelling to foreign countries, in my opinion people benefit more from travelling to foreign countries, and that for several reasons.
First, travelling to foreign country is a good way to open your mind to the world and explore new places, whether its urban modern places like new york, or natural like the Himalayas. This experience will always bring benefit to you, after stressful period you had in work or other situations, it will refresh your mind, help you relax, and gain energy and positivity to be more productive.
Second, travelling to other countries makes you experience different cultures and get in contact with different people, which always will help you in the future in several situations like dealing with different people from different cultures at work and knowing what is the best way to treat them, for instance while some eye contact can be good in the conversation with some, Japanese tends to see it very rude to establish eye contact with people.
Third, travelling to other countries is good for learning new language, by travelling and exposing yourself to different countries and cultures, you will for sure communicate with people in English as a universal language, and that will make your English better and you will speak more freely and fluently, another thing is that you may communicate with people in their native language if you know how to speak their language, and this will strengthen your language more and more.
In conclusion, traveling inside your country is beneficial at the point for you to know your country better and support their tourism, but the benefits of traveling to foreign countries outcome those from traveling inside your country, it gives you unique experience, learn new languages, relief stress and refresh your mind.

Word count is more than 300
If you can give me an estimate score from 0 to 5

Hi odeh7
I am not an expert, and have only written the TOEFL once. I got a 3 for this part of the test. So please keep that in mind with the following comments:
Your organization is very nice, using First, second and in conclusion. Your length also looks good.
I do think you should put more effort into how you write the intro paragraph. Search YouTube for toefl writing introduction and look at the top 4 videos.
You also use VERY long sentences. It makes it very difficult to read and follow your reasoning. Your paragraph that starts with:"Third, travelling to other countries . . ." is ONE LONG sentence. It should be broken into different ones 3 or 4 at least. After every comma or "and" should be a new sentence.
I am not good with giving scores, but I do not think this will score a lot higher than a 3 or 2.5.

Good luck
