Hey Michael, I wanted to let you know that your templates did wonders for both the writing tasks; I gave my exam on the 26th and scored 27 in the writing section. A big thanks to you, and keep on providing such quality content. 😀

Hi Michael! This is my response. I would really appreciate it if you could provide some advice. Thanks. In my opinion, I believe the advance in technology like smartphones brings an overall positive impact. I also agree with Lisa's statement since technology brought people together from all over the globe. Also, technology is not only a tool to connect people no matter how far the distance between them, but also allows people who are not good to express themselves by talking to communicate efficiently with others. For example, I have a friend who is very shy to talk to teachers directly, so she doesn’t usually ask teacher questions during class time. However, through the advancement in technology, she can communicate with the teacher by sending him messages through some social media apps. In this way, her questions can be answered, and the teacher will still have a good reputation for her active interaction with the teacher.

Hi Michael! Thank you for your amazing content. I am having my test on Saturday, depending mainly on your videos. I hadn't had enough time to prepare, only one week. Wish me luck! And here's my response : This is an interesting topic, but I am convinced that smartphones have an indisputable impact on our lives. I strongly support Lisa’s point of view of how modern technology is beneficial. I’d also like to add an important tool that was not mentioned but for me, it's really important, which is the GPS service supported on smartphones. It’s really important, as people can go wherever they want without worrying about navigation or unknown places. I also believe that this is one of the granted things that we don’t pay attention to. Remember, years ago, the use of paper maps and how inconvenient it was. But now, with a click on your device, you find your destination.

Hi Michael, thank you for your valuable information. This is my response: I firmly believe that smartphones have an detrimental impact on people's life. I totally agree with Matthew's idea that communication skills are affected by phones and I would like to add that excessive use of mobile phones causes stress, which not only adversely affect your physical and mental health and your relationships,but also decreases learning efficiency, productivity and discourages you to work your heart and soul to fulfill your objectives, making an outstanding contribution to a better learning process. While people, by interacting with individuals, will acquire team-working, problem-solving, and decision-making skills that can be fundamentally beneficial for their professional success later in life, as these are among the skills that are sought-after by employers. If not for this device, life would have been full of enjoyment and peace.

Hi Michael, thanks for your beneficial information. While there are many advantages to using smartphones, I think one of the biggest disadvantages is the long time we spend browsing social media every day. In contrast, people can spend this time with their family and friends, as some people started to believe that texting their friends or parents can substitute for visiting them and chatting. Moreover, a lot of old people find it difficult to use smartphones and really love to see their grandchildren and spend time with them while their grandchildren spend their time scrolling social media even during family gatherings. Overall, I’d say that it’s better to communicate with people physically rather than virtually.

Hi Michael, thank you for your video. Here is my response: In my opinion, I believe smartphones have a positive impact on the way we interact. I strongly agree with Lisa’s perspective about the advantage of staying connected with family and friends that live far away. While Matthew is right about the fact that it’s hard to read body language and tone of voice over text, nowadays there are a lot of people that use voice messeges and video calls when it comes to communicating. In my point of view, when I need to catch up with friends that live in another country I prefer to video call them instead of talking on the phone. Despite the fact that their body is far away, it helps me feel them as near as always. What do you think?

Hi, Michael! Thank you so much. Here's my answer: In my opinion, while smart phones and communication devices still need further improvements to be fully effective, they have had a positive impact on our social interactions. I find Matthew's argument unconvincing, as he entirely overlooks the benefits of these technological advancements for modern-day humans. Contrary to his view, I believe that in the contemporary world, most people are extremely busy, and usually they cannot spare time to interact with their loved ones physically. However, through smart phones and social media platforms, people have the opportunity to connect with their families and friends very efficiently, without having to spend a great deal of time on commuting. Therefore, these devices have streamlined our lives, by fostering instant and covenient communication. Additionally, nowadays, video chats are availabe, so there is no need to worry about a reduction in our ability to communicate with others.

While I appreciate the points mentioned by Matthew, I agree with Lisa’s notion that smartphones make it possible for us to stay connected with acquaintances and loved ones who are far away. I would like to add that these technological devices have enabled us to contact right away, in a few second, so we can have access to everyone within a short time. For example, In the past people have to wait for weeks to get a response in letters, now we can talk with each other in video and audio formats. Some people like Matthew may feel that it reduces our ability to contact face-to-face and read body languages, but the critical point they overlook is that they provided us to contact with several humans at the same time with less effort. Moreover, words play a pivotal role in communication rather than body figures.

Hello Michael, I have a question. Does it make sense to be graded “demonstrating” in all fields of both writing tasks, yet scoring just 21/30?.

Hi Michael, I couldn't find the writing tool you wrote about on Adagree. Is is still available?

Hi Micheal this is my response for question: taking a gap year before college: Personally, I believe that students should not take a gap year before entering college. This is because being away from an academic setting, even for a year, could significantly impact students, causing them to forget numerous academic subjects. In this regard, I am in favor of Claire's opinion that the rising expenditure can negatively affect students' lives since after the gap year, many of them may not be able to afford tuition and other expenditures. In addition, I would like to add that it also might narrow their choices, as many students who desire to attend prestigious universities could not afford tuition next year, leading them to choose low-rank colleges. Although I appreciate Andrew's ideas, he fails to notice that most students have already recognized their interests by the age of eighteen. Therefore, an extra year will not significantly affect their decision about choosing their college major.

my response, please correct it, thank you: While I appreciate the points mentioned by Lisa and Matthew, I think that smart phones have a double standard effect on our lives. As it could be really useful by connecting people all over the world and ease daily tasks or needs, such as booking a hotel, renting a car or even ordering food. But also, it has its disadvantage, as we reduce the human involvement in many daily requirements, which as a result leads to make many jobs disappear, because smartphones and their apps took over many human work positions. Another case I would like to mention is that, smartphones give many people the ability to show and tell stuff they don’t do in normal life, as the opportunity to explain their thoughts in a written way, but that also causes at the same time the lack of human being connection and body language understanding.

Hi Michael! This my response. Eagerly waiting for your feedback. While it may still seem challenging to give a convincing answer to such questions, I believe the key to this problem is to think deeply and out of the box. One way to achieve this is to compare smartphones' effects on communications and relationships with people before and after their advent. You see, before the invention of cell phones people used to communicate more often and have face-to-face conversations, which was the secret to a happier life. Contrary to that, When cell phones were introduced to the public, they gradually began to demolish these communications and decreased the chances of people meeting each other physically at an alarming pace. Consequently, these changes slowly made people get used to non-physical and virtual relationships through social media.While they deniably have their advantages, their disadvantages overcome the benefits. Thus, I believe phones have a negative influence on how people interact with each other.

Hi Michael ,I Eagerly waiting for your response In my perspective, I really belive that smartphones have a positive impact on our lives. Smartphones have changed the way we used to get in touch ,the way we dealing and the way we make money. Because of Smartphones my diable neighbor can make more then 5000$per a month actually he stated to filming vedioes about his life and he get thousands of subscribers on social media platforms,so I strongly agree and encourage Lisae's opinion . In reality nowadays we can not live without phones we should to keep that in mind our lives without phones would be more difficult ,furthermore Smartphones make education easier and accessible for everyone around the world you can learn whatever you want.

Hello Sir!! Can we use example/ personal Ex in our response & is it better to be specific or general ?

Hi Michael! Time is not enough to write. I don’t know how to improve my writing skills. Fedback please 🙏 Communication methods have changed tremendously in the past century. People have always needed to interact one another and hence found ways to achieve this ambition. Techonological advancements found solutions to connect people regardsless of the distance, for instance, using smart phones. This impacted people's lives on many great aspects such as reaching information freely and interacting with each other with no boundaries. I strongly think that carrying gateway to the world in our packets is a true marvel.

Hey Michael, thank you for your video. Here is my response. In my opinion, smartphones have made tremendous impact on our day-to-day communications. I strongly agree with Lisa’s perspective, and I would like to add that smartphones and internet made communication easier and saves time. If we need to communicate something with our family members or friends or family, it is easy with a simple phone call or text message. While Matthew is right about the fact that it is hard to read body language and emotions over text, it is extremely easy to make a video call and convey the message like an in person conversation. If we need to talk with more than one person at a time, we can make a group video call as well.

Hello Micheal, Although smartphones have both merits and drawbacks, I am pretty convinced that they are generally a positive invention for human use. I believe so because it allows people to communicate with each other from far distances, which is crucial nowadays with people traveling and working remotely all the time. Also, with the addition of video calls and virtual reality, it has become extremely easy and convenient for people to participate in a variety of activities online. However, it is worth mentioning that this technology can become incredibly addictive and destructive if misused, as Mathew also pointed out. However, many people have learned to manage their time when working with such devices that this downside is often ignored.

Hi Michael! Thanks your video again! your video and websites really help me a lot! here is my response. While I appreciate the points mentioned by both Lisa and Matthew, I think that technology nowadays has a positive effect on people. We all know that google can help people to solve problems, but in the past, we can only access it on the PC. However, with the invention of smartphone, you can visit almost every websites whatever you want. Remember that not just google, you can get daily news, podcasts, and even maps, so modern technology definitly helps humans in many ways. Some people may feel that it makes people become more indifferent, but I believe that, as Lisa said, internet let people can stay in touch regardless of time and distance.

Hi Michael! This my response. Eagerly waiting for your feedback I strongly agree with lisa’s idea, that it is someotimes challenging to communicate in person, However smartphones has a lot of benefith to humens. As lisa mentioned it can help to stay in communication with family members who live far away. For instance, I have big family in Argentina and thanks to smartphones and social media we maintain our relationship closer by communicate with each other on daily basis. Furthermore, With the advanced of technology we can use different pletforms to increase our academic value. For example, While i was preparing to my toefl exam i used chatgpt which is an ai program to eveloute my writing score, as a result i got deeper understanding on my writing skills and what should i focus more. In conclusion, smartphones devices has more beneficial aspects rather than disadvantages.

In my opinion, smartphones have indeed not a positive impact on how we interact. I strongly agree with Matthew that communication via smartphones might cause people to misinterpret body language. I would add that when people communicate with apps they tend to send emojis as a replacement for effective body language and this can be misunderstood. Lisa raised the relevant point that communication with modern technology is a great way to interact with relatives remotely, but she did not mention that using smartphones at a young age can harm child development and especially their communication skills and development. For example, a study has shown that children can become more and more distracted because of the addiction and obsession to be reachable most of the time. Overall, then, I would say that interaction with a smartphone hurts how we interact.

This is a challenging topic to address with respect to contemporary world. Nowadays society has become more dynamic and versatile than ever. People are busy with their own issues too much. They really have less time to provide or spend with others in an effective environment. I agree with both Mathew and Lisa regarding their statements. Communicating through texts and calls result misunderstanding and misinterpretation of any kind of conversation. On the other hand, people who stays apart from their family, friends and partners, they have this only mean of keeping in touch in a regular basis. That's why, I a little bit sceptical concerning my opinion here. Still I believe, we should use it as a tool maintaining its positive sides.

Hey Michael! Hope you have time to score my answer before my exams, it's this Saturday! This era heavily depends on technology and smartphones are one big hit! Everything in moderation is good and anything extreme has side effects. This applies to smartphones and technology too! For instance, I live far away from my family, but we connect on daily basis through social media and video calls. Without this, I would have missed milestones in my family, many events, weddings, birthdays, and even deaths. Meanwhile, we shouldn’t let our virtual life on social media take over our personal face-to-face interactions. Both are extremely important and moderation is the key! Also, there are tons of apps on our smartphones that allow us to learn new skills or languages and manage our lives with checklists and time management apps. I benefited in so many ways from using my smartphone to flourish not just to be entertained and connected.

Thanks a lot for this useful content. I just wonder if it would be ok if we write in an informal manner, using apostrophes like "I'm pretty convinced that..." or it would be better to sound a little bit of formal instead. All the best!

Hey Michael, awesome video here is my response. I know there are some spelling mistakes I ran it through Grammarly I would have to agree with Lisa, the benifits of being able to comunicate with others over long distances far out way the downsides that Matthew mention. to claryfy let's look at it from a historical stand point, the way we used to comunnicate was thorough letters, which could take several days even weeks to get to its destination. now in comparison to the presant day, we can reach out in a matter of moments with friends and family or outher individuals half way across the globe. granted the decline of our collective charisma as a society has and will continiue to effect humanity as a whole.

I believe that technological devices mostly have a positive impact on our interactions. I strongly agree with Lisa when she mentions that smartphones keep us connected to our friends all around the world. While Matthew thinks that smartphones can undermine our ability to interact with others in person, he does not mention that face-to-face interactions aren’t always possible. If one of your family members lives abroad, or if you remotely work for a foreign company, then you have to use devices like smartphones and laptops. It’s inevitable. Also, although Matthew asserts that it is difficult to communicate effectively due to lack of body language, we should bear in mind that nowadays we have access to various forms of communication like video chats. In this way, people can clearly hear and see each other. As a result, there is no room for misunderstandings. In conclusion, I think hi-tech communication devices have been enormously beneficial to our society.

hi Michael! Here is my response My position on this question is quite similar to Lisa’s opinion. I believe that smartphones have a positive influence in our communication for several reasons. Having a device like a smartphone will cause as to solve particularly any kind of issue, interacting among people without going somewhere. For instance, when I was hospitalized due to the fractures in the neck from falling from a tree. I was still able to communicate with people, even I was having online lessons where I can got knowledge and talk with my classmates. According to this situation, I am convinced that smartphones has a positive impact in our communication

Hey Michael, Hope you are doing well. I have a controversial question. In this video, you haven't used the approach of mentioning 2 other students' comments as you introduced on your website. I think it is easier (at least for me). The problem is this approach has not got a 5/5 from ets' AI rater so far (as I tried till now). Is it ok to use the approach? ( agreeing with one student and adding to it, mentioning the other one's, and criticizing that). I'd appreciate it if you gave a response.

Thank you so much for this. My test is tomorrow.😊

Thank you very much, my test is Saturday ❤

Hi, Michael, may I take you a few minutes again? I have just reviewed the professor’s question and I am wondering if my assay digressed from the professor’s question. The professor asked “……do devices like smartphones have a positive impact on the way we interact?”. Should the response emphasize just on the smartphones’ communicating function? In my assay I wrote the smartphones could be used to pay bills,watch videos,and watch TV. These seem not related closely with what the professor said “…the way we interact…”. Will these lose some points？ Thank you for your patience!😂

Hey Pro Michael! I've a question in mind that U know sometimes I make mistakes in the speaking section such as, I say (said instead of says, and I correct that mistake directly ) Is that considered as a mistake or not. Moreover, What Ur suggestion for that problem.

Hi~ Here is my response. Thanks for your generous help. While I appreciate the stance that Lisa holds, I think that smartphones do bring more negative influences to the way of communicating with people. I strongly agree with Matthew’s opinion that the advent of this technology makes people not willing to talk with people in person, and I’ll add that especially younger generations are more reluctant to interact with people in the real world, which leads to severe social problems for them. For instance, I have had my smartphone since I was thirteen years old. At that young age, I was supposed to learn skills to accurately express my thoughts and absorb others’ opinions. However, because I constantly texted others using my phone and refused to interlock with others if it is not necessary, I started to hate going to public areas or places that needed a lot of verbal conversation. Therefore, I’m now grappling with the obstacles of making friends in college. Overall, I’d say that smartphones negatively contribute to the communication skill of human beings.

The topic “Do devices like smartphones have a positive impact on the way we interact? Or a negative one?” has generated much discussion in recent years. My personal belief is smartphones has a positive impact on humanity because they make us more knowledgable than we are. In early years people always had to find someone to ask their special problems on variety topics like their health issues or broken materials, but with the development of technology we can get our answers within seconds. We can learn whatever we want in an easy way. I also understand the concern of Matthew over decreasing effectiveness of communication, but I believe he misses another critical point that these will be happen anyway because the development of technology is something unstoppable. The only thing we can do is to adapt ourselves into the changing world conditions.

Thank you for your videos and your evaluation. I'm looking forward to your feedback. Although this is indeed a thought-provoking topic, from my perspective, technology certainly has a positive impact on human interaction. I strongly share concerns with Lisa about staying in touch with people who live distant. I would add here that there were times when technology assisted us to overcome the natural crisis. For instance, during covid, despite, individuals were together, and not allowed to interact. Where technology played a crucial role to connect loved ones and helped them to recover. While Matthew has made a relevant point here about in-person communication, he overlooked the other side, which is conflicts also evolve when people expend greater time together and sometimes do not coincide with each other. In conclusion, I firmly believe smartphones have positive sway on human interaction.

While I appreciate the points made by Matthew and Lisa, I think that smartphones, for the most part, have improved our lives. As Lisa stated, the introverts have a lot of new grounds to manouver, especially those introverts who are artists, have experienced huge influx of attention and interest in their works, which otherwise would have gone completely unnoticed. On top of that, people can practice their social skills anonymously, I know that some people think this might be stupid, and it’s not the “real” experience, but I peronally find it very helpful to brushen up my social skills before I am mentally prepared to face the real world scenarios. Although I do believe there is some truth to what Matthew says, in my opinion, this is a small price to pay for the numerous benefits smartphones can bring.

Thank you for effort ❤ I highly believe that smartphones have made human communication much easier and more convenient for our generation. First, many students and workers who live abroad are now able to talk with their families and beloved ones through phone calls, video calls, and text messages on a daily basis. In addition to that, smartphones have helped me personally keep track of my friends from high school and even elementary school. While Matthew thinks smartphones are weakening face-to-face interaction practices, I totally disagree. Many people were able to meet their old friends and neighbors in real life after reaching them online. Smartphones are one of the strongest communication tools in the 21st century.

Hey please do evaluate my response : In my opinion devices like smartphones have a positive impact on the way we interact. I agree with Lisa's opinion that smartphones help us connect with loved ones and also aid introverts to express themselves. I would like to add that these devices have now become the lifeline of human civilization and people today can conduct not only personal but professional work as well using these devices. Today with a click you can send a message to anyone which in the contemporary days would have taken days to reach them via the mail. Matthew raised the relevant argument that people have become over reliant on smartphones and people might not be able to read the body language of the person on the other side of the conversation. However, today as the influence of smartphones grows people have become more aware and responsible about the amount of time as well as the way in which they use these devices. Additionally, to be effective communicators talking about one's thoughts in a sincere and honest manner matters which can be achieved with the help of smartphones too.

Please evaluate my Academic writing. In my perspective, smartphones have surely made a powerful impact on human communication. I strongly share concerns with Lisa as she mentioned introverts, who have received a platform to interact. I would add here that it not only helps individuals but also the business world. Previously, people tend to travel for meetings with foreign delegates, although these days they can connect through video call in a couple of minutes. If they had not deployed technology, they would have travelled miles to close the deal. While Matthew has made a pertinent point here about misunderstanding via text messages, he has overlooked the privileges, such as connecting to people in no time without paying a visit to them. Thus, I prefer technology has certainly a positive influence.

Hi Micael, this is my response for question `TOEFL Writing Academic Discussion Question: Starting a Business` thank you in advance, It is such a nice of you : This is a challenging topic but I would choose employment in a large and well-known company. I strongly agree with Jack’s idea that big businesses offer regular income besides their perks, Additionally, I’d add that experience of working for big businesses is very good for a personal resume and it could boost an individual’s career. Besides whenever you decide to change your job, finding a new position would become easier because of your valuable experiences in big firms. While Emily raised the relevant point that owning a business could bring a better income after a while, she did not mention the failure rate of small businesses in this risky era. For Instance, due to the recession, a large number of small startups failed last year but big firms which were the first movers in the market could survive without layoffs. Overall, I would prefer to work for big companies rather than own a small business in this era.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the great content. I am going to take my exam in 10 days. It woudl be a great favor if you assess my answer to this question. In my view, the emergence of electronic devices like smartphones has been enhancing our interaction. Especially in the era of the internet, there are a variety of communication ways thanks to these technologies. Today people are able to find the individuals who are a good match for them easily, expanding their social group. It could lead to engaging in conversations which are not accessible in person for everyone as people are not limited to persons around them. One of the most important benefits of this way of interaction is becoming familiar with different perspectives which can contribute to our personal growth. For example, despite my friends and family I am really interested in Artificial Intelligence trends. I have been following my passion in online platforms like Twitter, allowing me to both enjoy and learn at the same time.

Hi Michael, thank you for your amazing contents! here's my response: I agree with Lisa that smartphones have provided us with more opportunities to communicate and connect with different people around the world. I think by using smartphones we have more access to people with different cultures and languages and we can learn from them. also using new means of communications like social medias can help people to find other people similar to them, for example, for members of the LGBTQ+ community that live in conservative countries connecting with other members of their community by using smartphones can be really encouraging and help them know that they are not alone. on the other hand, being online none stop can cause some problems as Matthew mentioned, but personally I think the benefits of these new technologies outweigh their disadvantages.

Hi Michael! This my response. Eagerly waiting for your feedback. The topic of new communication technologies has generated much discussion in recent years. From my perspective, new technologies such as smartphones have invaluable advantages in our modern lives. For instance, we are connected with our friends and loved ones whom are far away thanks to the new communication technologies. I understand Rachel's concern over face-to-face communication, but I believe she overlooks another crucial point. As a matter of fact, in modern era we could not meet our friends face-to-face regularly, therefore we have to communicate them using new technologies. Devices like smartphones have revolutionary impacts on our ability to communicate, which is why I firmly believe these kinds of devices are significantly beneficial. (113 words)

Thanks a lot for this video. Here's my response. My personal belief is that mobile phones have had a negative impact on our way of communication. For example, it reduces the social interaction which brings a different emotion and joy to our talk. I understand Mike’s concern, that social media lets introverts to communicate much effectively, but it also poses threat to talking with an impersonator. Nowadays, there are plenty of ways or technologies that help to mimic voice of other individuals, which combined with mobile phones may lead to people getting fakes information’s or misled about their loved ones. Also, sometimes people get too comfortable on their smart phones that they rarely have any social skills left, which makes them unable to properly interact in many public gatherings. I agree with Rachel’s point that it is hard to feel the tone of the message and would like to add that sometimes we don’t really enjoy something but we still try to appear fine with it on social media platforms, which is never the case in a physical conversation.

Hi Michael ) thank you again The topic of the impact of smart devices on our in-person communication is quite controversial. My opinion on technological developments and achievements is positive in general and I agree with Lisa that smart technology widens our possibilities in communication. We can communicate with others and express ourselves easily independently of distance and other obstacles. I would add to this that smart technology erases borders between nations and cultures, it helps to create an active and alive net all around the world. Although I notice its negative effects in terms of the lack of mental presence of people around me and their obsession with their devices, but I have to disagree with Matthew, as I hardly connect the phenomenon with the devices per se, to me it is a psychological dynamic in relationships.

Hi Michael. I hope you are having a great time. I would really appreciate it ıf you can grade my response. In my perspective, devices undeniably have a positive impact on the way we interact. I strongly agree with Lisa’s idea that smartphones enable us to connect with acquaintances and loved ones who are far away. I’d add that smartphones give us good opportunities to enlarge our social networks, since whenever we want to communicate with our friends, the only thing we need to do is to give them a video call, and we can see their smiling faces within seconds. While Matthew raised the relevant point that it reduces the nuance and depth in our interactions, he overlooks the fact that many people have busy schedules that prevent them from meeting their friends. For example, after my friend and I both have jobs, we need to deal with plenty of things at work, and the only option we have is to chat on our mobile phones.During such times, relying on mobile phones becomes indispensable for maintaining regular communication. overall, then, I would say that devices play a essential role on the way we interact.

While this is certainly a controversial topic, I firmly believe that smartphones assist people with communication. I agree with Lisa that cell phones allow us to stay connected with our families across the world. For example, my family lives in another country, so for me, there is no way to talk to them without using a smartphone. However, thanks to technology, we can see each other and chat every day. I would also add that there are some people with health issues such as anxiety disorders or speech impediments, so it might be quite challenging for them to communicate with someone in real life since it would contribute to additional stress in their lives. Overall, I would say that smartphones are very helpful in order to stay in touch, as well as beneficial for individuals with health problems.

Hello michael .... Here is my response... update me how is my response... how can i improve my response. This is a challenging topic, but i think that smartphones have a positive impact on the way we interact. I strongly agree with matthew idea that people are too reliant on text message as well as social media that limit the nuance and deepness in our interactions. I would like to add that in this busy schedule of full commitment towards work we merely have time to meet. In addition through social media we easily get in touch with colleagues where its impossible to meet them in person. While lisa raised relevant point that social network provide a platform for introvert people to verbalization themselves in ways that they may not able to do in person. She did not speak briefly about how long people gonna keep themselves out of sight, after certain period of time introverts have come front. For example i used to introvert person during initial stage of high school but as of now i am fond of talking with the help of social media, smartphone and many more.

Hi Michael. I hope you are having a great time. I would really appreciate it ıf you can grade my response. Nice video :) Impact of smartphones on our behavior has generated a lot of discussion in recent years. While I appreciate the points from Matthew and Lisa I don’t think this issue can be simplified into good or bad conclusions. My opinion would depend on certain factors. In some circumstances where the person is avoiding social interactions by using their phone to communicate on any small think possible, they could start to develop social anxiety about talking face to face or confronting people. In other cases person could avoid using their phone too much that they become unfamiliar with forms of online communication such as e-mails, text or phone calls. They would have to put themselves in unwanted situations. For ınstance graduate school applications are a process where you are going to need to use both of your communication skills in smartphones and face to face talking. In conclusion smartphones are a good way to interact with people as long as the person is not depended on it.

In my opinion, the benefits of smartphones outweigh the drawbacks, which aligns with Lisa's idea. In this regard, I want to add that in today's modern world, people are involved in a variety of tasks and duties, so they have less time to physically interact with each other. In this situation, technological tools like smartphones make communication easier for us. As a matter of fact, I have a lot of friends living in different countries, and I do not have the opportunity to meet them in person. However, by using social media platforms, I can easily meet them through video calls, which can give a sense of sanctification.. Matthew mentioned an important point that communication through social media negatively affects our real communication with others. However, he overlooked the fact that some people may feel shy and stressed when communicating with others in person, and the communication through social media makes it easier for them to interact with others and make new friendships. In addition, the negative effects of this technology depends on the way people use it, so people can learn how to use this technology in order to avoid possible negative consequences this technology may cause.

This is certainly a controversial topic, but Lisa and I are on the same page regarding our position on using smartphones. Just like her, I totally agree that mobiles are effective and have positive impacts on our lifestyle. Smartphones have made life significantly easier and more accessible for individuals in society. Almost everyone owns a mobile phone, which allows them to check emails and messages at any time without the need to carry around a laptop. In addition, people can use their mobile for a variety of purposes, not only making calls but also taking pictures and videos; besides, they can recall any precious moment they want. Therefore, smartphones play a crucial role in today's world, since they help people have a comfortable life.

here's my response: This is a controversial topic, but I personally believe that smartphones have positively impacted our lives. If you think about it we're definitely more advanced in many disciplines than we ever were in the past. I strongly gravitate toward Mike's idea that improved technology allowed us to better communicate with family and friends. And I would add that it also allowed doctors to communicate with each other around the world, which had a positive effect on our health. For example, without the new technology we have, we wouldn't be able to communicate with doctors around the world and cure many diseases. Accordingly, doctors would be unable to conduct research on ways to improve humans' health. So, to sum up, technology is a double-edged sword, but in my personal belief I think that it definitely causes more good than harm.

Hi Michael. I hope you are hale and hearty with your family. I have twenty days left for my TOEFL exam. My answer is given below. While I appreciate the precise illustration of both Matthew and Lisa about the interactions happening with smartphones, I want to add a precious point which is very important. According to my conjecture, Man to man interactions are most valuable when it comes to describing something important. For example, if I want to research something with a group and don't want to publish the research content immediately because of further work and demonstration policy, then I need to work secretly with my group. However, I can't do it secretly if I use smartphones for building interaction with others. Because the Internet has some privacy policy and applications such as Facebook, Twitter, Viber, WhatsApp etc. which can track my call records. Moreover, they have the records of selling people's private data without asking for any consent. To conclude, smartphones have a negative impact on interactions.

Hi, Michael, thank you very much for your hard work. Can you please check my writing for this discussion? I agree with both Matthew and Lisa on the smartphones’ discussion. Today, a smartphone is more popular than any other communication device in human daily’s life, and it’s more helpful to us. We use the smartphones not only for the communication, but also we can use them to do many other things, such as pay bills, watch news, TV shows, and meet friends online. So a smartphone is much more important to human life than any other device. But the smartphones do have some negative impacts on us. For example, some people are addicted to the usage of the smartphones, they always look on their smartphones on road, or they look the smartphones late to night, etc, this certainly cause them lack of sleep, thus effect their effectiveness in work and seriously hurt their normal life.

I strongly agree with Matthew’s idea that social media impact our lives in a negative way. I also think that being attached to social networking apps may lead to anxiety and depression in a long run. While I appreciate the point Lisa mentioned, I reckon we should cut back on using mobile phones in order to live happier and healthier. Those beeps and notifications sometimes could be so annoying that affect the brain in a bad way. As a result, more mental illnesses will be seen in the society. In addition, using electronics during work or study is one of the main reasons of lacking focus during exams or tense situations. (111 words)

Hello, I would like your review of my text . I firmly believe that advanced technology devices like smartphones are an useful tool for everyone. I feel this way for several reasons. To start, I am in the same line with Lisa with respect all the advantages of smartphones. Mostly, because I personally think that in medicine field there are many benefits. For instance, this class of technology can measure your heart rate, time of work out, and many more. Second, I strongly think that in the work place if all coworkers have a cellphone, everyone will be able to communicate no matter in what floor of the building they are. So, for these reasons I advocate for the many advantages that smartphones can have in the mankind.

I wrote these essays based on TOEFL Go writing practice test. could you give me score please? Academic Discussion Writing: While I like the ideas noted by Claire and Paul, I feel that the best invention that has ever been appeared on the earth is air plane since it really makes our works easy hundred to thousand times. for instance, we can now easily and conveniently migrate from one place to another place for living, visiting and traveling, whereas before this innovation, people were obliged to travel from one area to another environments by ships and other transportations that was costly and risky, so by the appearance of aircraft, people felt comfort. Moreover, air plane is a kind of transportation that everyone need to take once not like computer or mobile since all people do not need them necessarily. Integrated Writing: Both the reading passage and listening are about the pros and cons of computerized voting system. the article asserts three reasons that implementing computerized voting system can be lucrative for all. While the professor in the lecture casts doubt all of the three reasons and challenges all of them by bringing counter-arguments. To begin with, the text outlines that traditional voting system is awful since many people while voting, they accidentally vote to the other participants that is a main problem, Whereas the lecturer rebuts this argument by stating that implementing computerized voting system is injustice since it may be easy for computer users but it is actually hard for those who do not know how utilize computer which it will dissuade them from voting. Secondly, the author of the reading passage claims that man is prone to error. since in traditional voting system, votes are being counted by individuals. Therefore, errors may occur during counting. On the other hand, the professor in the lecture ignores this point and presents that mistakes cannot only be happened in counting but also errors might be created by human while programming the computerized voting system, so computerized voting system is delicate. Finally, the reading passage manifests that lots of transactions and communications are being done by computer conveniently without danger of being corrupted, so computerized voting system is also the same of them
