TPO 33 - Question 1 A friend of yours wants to go to university next year but cannot decide on a major field of study. What advice would you give your friend to help make this decision?

The only problem for you is the content. You like to give examples. This may be not good for high marks.

------------------------------
You are using this simple pattern for TOEFL Q1-Q2:

first 1-2 sentences: introduction. my opinion: A or B. agree or disagree. about 5-10 seconds

First, reason 1 (1 sentence) + example 1 // about 15-20 seconds

Second, reason 2 (1 sentence) + example 2. // about 15-20 seconds

--------------------------
The above is very basic for the beginning. After some practice, you may try this pattern for Q1-Q2:

first 1-2 sentences: introduction. my opinion: A or B. agree or disagree. about 5-10 seconds

First, reason 1 (1 sentence) + why reason 1 (some arguments. 1-2 sentence) + a small conclusion for reason 1(like advantages of reason 1 or comparisons if not reason 1, 1-2 sentence). // about 15-20 seconds

Second, reason 2 (1 sentence) + why reason 2 (some arguments. 1-2 sentence) + a small conclusion for reason 2(like advantages of reason 2 or comparisons if not reason 2, 1-2 sentence). // about 15-20 seconds

---------------------
Look at the pattern two, there are no specific examples, but more arguments.
