TOEFL ESSAYS practice

hey i didn't posted what i had to last class.

So i'll post my practices for TOEFL essay.

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.

Sometimes in this society the first thing that come to a man's mind about women responsibilities is Child rearing. Unfortunately, very often this thought is on Women mind too, but i absolutely disagree with this statement. There are many reasons because i'm against this view of how family should be; they include the new way that family must be built on this time, relationship building inside of the family, and how the couple-rearing experience will make happier both: the child and the couple, and inside of the couple, each part itself.

These days, women are much more occupied than they were a few decades ago, do much more things such as working: in an office, at home, freelancing, etc. The point is that women doesn't have the time once had, and having the responsibility to rear Children, organize the house, and work; is very unfair.

There is another big reason: how family values are understood in our time; once rearing Children were women role, because the family order was set by a leading man, very distant from their children, introducing a wall of fear, respect that kept away the trust of Children about their father; the mother was always closely to her children. Now, family values and structure have evolved and the new order usually sets more equal relationships; both parents know what their children are doing, so we can say that Child rearing is currently a Couple Role, that will actually make men to involve more into their Child growing process.

The current family structure doesn't matter much if we don't count how we feel about it. It's proved that Children may grow up better with both of his parents near to him. It's also very important to menction the fact that rearing up your child will be a great experience for the parents as a couple and as individual person. We can also state the point -no less important than the others- that there is a learning process with constant feedback in rearing your kids. You will start to learn the way they are since they are very young and they will learn to understand you; you will learn from each other, and this will lead into better relationships in the future.

Those are the main reasons because i think that is more fair, and better for every involved parts, to take equal responsibility in child rearing.

TELECOMMUTE: give the chance to employees to carry some work to their home so they can work from there.

Some employers are giving this opportunity, explain why do you think they are giving it.

------------------------- 28:00 aprox

I think Employers have started to provide the option to telecommute to their workers for several reasons. Mainly, giving this type of opportunities create a more comprehensive enviroment to work, which leads a higher productivity. I will explain how.

These days, life rythm is too fast and everybody feels tired because of job stress or another reasons, for example: public transport. Giving the opportunity to telecommute allows your employees to relax some days, not get the stress of subway or bus in the morning, maybe sleep a little more. This consecquetly will lead in better work because your workers will be more relaxed and happy.

Telecommuting may increase productivity when your workers doesn't feel very well, maybe somebody is with a low flu, which usually is not a reason for being at home, but your productivity decrease because you don't feel at your 100%, and you can make your workmates to get the flu too. Telecommute in this case will directly increase your productivity: your workers will get well faster, and you prevent another flu cases in another employees.

There are many places to work, and if you are a good and talented employee you may choose a more friendly and comprehensive enviroment if you are not happy with the current. Giving this type of chances to your workers will increase their good perception of the working place, of the boss, and they will work more happy. It's proved that good work enviroments with happy employees, lead into more productive office for everyone.

These productivity reasons may be the strongest ones which lead an employer to provide this option. Despite another employers may think this is an unorganized situation, if you keep it in control it can even be better for your workplace; maybe just allow few days a month to telecommute, will give all benefits i mentioned; plus, and not less important, you may be considered great employer, and your employees loyalty has no price.
