issues;
The first reason is only in 15 seconds, while the second reason is in 25 seconds. It is very important to keep balance.

in your first reason:

reason + a simple example

this is not enough.

Need to put some contents after the first example, for example, we may add a result:
...a business man may lose money if .... or a fight may occur if...

remember our patterns:
reason + why reason + result of the reason

----------------
Also remember don't make reasons complicated, we can make them simple, like:

First, it can make money. ....
second, it can make new friends...

TOEFL is designed for high school students going universities. So take TOEFL exam easy and give pretty easy reasons. or remember this formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages
