Hi,

I will take the TOEFL Test on next SAT 26th of August . I tried to prepare for the test but writing is my biggest problem. I am weak with the Grammar . I tried to imporve my writing style and help myself with the Grammar but I still have the problem simply because I am not sure of myself. Therefore, I wrote an essay on one of the TOEFL writing tasks . I would really appreciate your valuable advices and comments.

Here is the Qs:

Your government is considering a new law that would limit the size of each class to 20 students. Supporters say this would allow teachers to offer more attention to each student and reduce stress and alienation many students feel in bigger classes. Opponents suggest that smaller classes would be more expensive in the long run and lead to a reduction of rescources for students. Which position would you support? Provide reasons and examples in your response.

My Essay:

Education is the essence for building civilized and developed culture. Now a day , most of the developing countries try to improve their educational system in order to strength the political and economical system as well. Therefore, they try to facilitate education by offering a suitable educational environment . Thus, the government decision to consider a new law that would limit the size of each class to 20 students is very promising for having better future. I agree of having such law that would really help the students to have better education with much more comfortable environment . However, there are some people who opposed such law for a number of reasons including reduction of recourses of the students and the expensive costs that are unaffordable .In this essay, I will argue in favor of having such law because of number of reasons.

One of the reason is that the student will be able to concentrate better with smaller classes . As the teacher attention will be focused on a small group which is easy to handle, she\he will be able to provide the students with better knowledge and inspire them to be creative hence, learning will be really fun. In contrast, teachers in the bigger classes are drained of all energies wasting most of the class time in managing their students and trying at the same time to cover up the curriculum within a limited period of time. Also, the student of bigger classes can be easily distracted by other students as the teacher will find it difficult to handle all the students in the class. In fact, I was a student in one those big classes and I suffer a great deal from the poor quality of the education we were provided and the distraction of other careless students. Moreover, learning was really boring for missing the important elements of having successful education which is diversity.

Another reason is that government itself will benefit from this law in the way that the student will pay back every cents as they develop their country. It s true that smaller classes will be expensive to afford however, the government surely understand that education is the way for becoming one of the leading countries in the world. Therefore, ,spending money on the education of younger children is not waste of money as those children will work on their country development and leading it to occupy a prosperous position among the world countries. China and Japan spend billions on improving education. Japan translate all the new published books of science every years having a special budget for translation alone.

Finally, it is obvious that the advantages of having such law overwhelm the disadvantages. We should always look for what is the best for the students because they as the hope of better future.
