TOEFL practice essay ~ Mario 9B

6. If you could change one important thing about your country, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.


If I could change one important thing about my country, it would be the financial conditions. I would change this because here in Albania there are a lot of beggars and thieves. I would get money from the oil. If I gave them money, they would not steal or beg for money anymore.

I would also give money to all the people so that all of them would be wealthy. Our country would be the richest country with the richest people. From the money, there will therefore come other good things like knowledge and technology. If people had money,they would go to school and they would learn more. If they learn more they can improve their technology. They would start to work harder and earn more money.

With the money and knowledge the people would improve the countries technology. There would be new things, new machines that would improve our living conditions like cars that do not pollute the environment.

People would became richer , smarter and healthier. They could improve their living conditions as these things all come from money. "Money is important" is the conclusion of this story. This is why I want to change the financial conditions of Albania, because Albania is poor. It needs money to develop. This is the most important thing that i would like to change in Albania.


Mario has tried but needs to develop his essay deeper and to be very specific to the question.
