Hello! Thank you so much for this. I have been looking for free toefl prep online and could find nothing, literally! Okay, so my test is on the 7th f March and I have bought this book:
Kaplan Toefl IBT premier 2014-2015 but the problem is that I just bought the book and therefore do not have online access to their practice tests. What can I do to prepare and ace the toefl within this time frame (8 days left only).
P.S: This is my first time at it and I want to give my best shot because I won't be giving it again. I am going to U.S for uni and although they need an 80+ I want to score a 100+ I would be EXTREMELY grateful for any hep and tips. Also, could you please tell me where I can find free Full Length Practice tests?
Thanks,
Anne
Also, could you please read my essay and score it, please? I wrote about 300 words and finished it 20 mins before time. Thanks. --
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Both parents should have an equal responsibility in child rearing.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Essay:
I believe that both parents have individual responsibilities towards their children. Father's are usually the bread earners of the family and mothers are the housewives who raise the children. However, this is ideally a custom in most Eastern countries. In the west responsibilities of child rearing and earning for the family are equally shared. Mothers usually work side by side to support the finances. In eastern side of the world families are at advantage when they live together as a joint family. Mothers do not have to worry about their children the whole time as there are other people who are usually willing to take care of the young ones of the family. This is an advantage of a joint-family system.
However, due to privacy issues many families in the west think of it as absurd to live with two or more generations altogether in one house. They are justified in their beliefs as personal space is also a key in rearing children with a healthy attitude. Aside from the such families, responsibilities increase as people start living as a nuclear family.
Personally, I believe that a mother has to do more work compared to a father if she is not a housewife. She has to work and earn a living for the family as well as raise her children. Therefore I believe that the fathers should participate too, be it from changing diapers, washing the child's feeding utensils or waking up in the middle of the night when they wake up. There is a lot more than this when raising a child but a mother would be much better at it and that is to read bed time stories and cuddle with the child so that he or she may have a good night's sleep. Both parents therefore have equal responsibilities in raising children.
