Today I took TOEFL

Today I took TOEFL. It had been seven months since I took that before.

My problems with TOEFL are

1. Reading time is not enough. I should read more quickly.(150words a minite)

2. I need more vocabularies about natural science in particular.

3. I can't concentrate on listening the long sentence.

4. I need more practice about speaking section.

5. Conversation type of listening is bad as before.

6. I can't write appropriately on Independent task as written in practice.

What is most regrettable is that I used "adapt" to mean "adopt" in writing section.

In conclusion, I need to study more and more!

People in the past might agree that boys and girls should attend separate school because a lot of men tend to think of women as doing household chores ,so they should learn that in the special school, that is girl’s school. However, I personally disagree with that opinion for the following reasons.

First, now, many women want to work after graduation of schools such as a high school or an university and also work after her marriage. That is to say, there are few things specialized to teach for men or women. For example, my wife married me soon after her graduation of a university and have been raising our son. In this kind of situation, women in the past typically might focus on raising children. But, my wife choose to raise our son and work as a writer at the same time. On the other hand, I took a day off for raising my son for one month. Raising children is currently not only the work by a wife but by wife and husband. As this example shows, there is no need to learn for men and women separately.

Second, it is a crucial problem for men and women not to know how to communicate with each other until their graduation of schools. To tell the truth, I graduated from boy’s school ten years ago, which means that I did not have enough chances to have a conversation with women. When I entered an university, there are many beautiful women in the class. I was at a loss for communicating with them and perhaps lost a lot of chances to become acquainted with beautiful women. It is, of course, because I was not accustomed to communicate with women. This experience illustrates that separating schools is inappropriate.

In conclusion, I definitely disagree with the opinion that boys and girls should attend separate

schools.
