23 in 30

Something wrong with the last sentence. better:
If my friend chooses computer engineering as the major, he may make big money too.

Thanks!

Do you mean if I change my last sentence, then I can get 30 in 30 ???

I mean is this my only main problem??? How about the other factors (Intonation, content ....) .

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.
