제가 이제 토플에 입문했는데 남편(미국인)한테 견본 삼아 연습하려고 좋은 에세이 하나 써달라고 했더니 이렇게 써줬어요. 이렇게 써도 점수가 잘 나오나요? 아니면 해커스 문제집에 있는 형식에 맞춰 써야 점수가 잘 나올까요? 어떻게 해야할지 방향을 못 잡겠어요.
Should governments spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments spends more money on improving public transportation ( buses, trains, subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.

When I look into the future, I can imagine the glory of an intercontinental subway line that stretches from sea to shining sea. Just imagine the thrill of stepping into a subway car in Grand Central Station amid the rich aroma of exhaust and urine and then exiting in Amarillo to the smell of feeder lots and oil wells. Now that future, to me, would be something to behold. Imagine! Today’s bums could become tomorrow’s hobos! With just a $2.50, or a quick hop over the turnstile when the cops aren’t watching, you could soon be cruising the strip 500 feet underground. Do you remember that Klan rally you missed last year because your driver’s licence was confiscated by The Man? Well pack your bags! Because you don’t need a license to ride the Underground Railroad to freedom! As we all know, our wonderful country is now in the vice grip of the evil Caliphate of the Middle East. Each time we start our cars we hear the crack of the Egyptian whip on the Isrealites back. Why expand roads and highways that only serve to feed the slavemasters in their quests to build the modern day pyramids in Dubai and Qatar? Cars mean oil and oil means slavery. However, the subway of the future does not require even a drop of Zoroastrian tar. We have all the energy we will need to run our tube of the future right here at home. To power this system, I propose we explore the Artic National Wildlife Refuge for potential power sources. Through an Artic Wildlife Reconstitution Program (AWRP) reaps the benefits of our national resources in ways before only dreamed about. Through this system Elk, Reindeer, Polar Bears, and, yes, even Penguins will be ‘reconstituted’ back into their most fundamental and life providing oils, complex carbohydrates, and amino-acids. Through careful refinement our scientists will have all the energy the intercontinental subway system will ever need. With the looming specter of global warming, many leading environmentalists now believe that this patriotic sacrifice by our eager forest denizens represents the most merciful option in the midst of such terrible climate change. In conclusion, I believe that an intercontinental subway system will free us from the yoke of Saracen tyranny, aid in our fight against global warming, and will not cost us anything that was not already doomed already. |
