答案     To earn a top score, you should develop a multi-paragraph essay that responds to the issue of whether people today spend too much time on personal enjoyment— doing things they like to do—rather than doing things they should do. Typically an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words.
    One successful way to express agreement with the prompt is to argue that people these days are not spending their time on tasks that are meaningful, but instead are wasting their time on pleasurable but less meaningful activities. Defining what meaningful versus less meaningful activities are for you personally is important for this strategy; keep in mind that social networking, for example, might be a complete waste of time to you, but may be quite meaningful for others.
    A successful way to disagree with the prompt is to explain that people nowadays work very hard at doing the things they should do—for example, in many places, people are spending more hours than ever at their jobs, because that is what the companies they work for say they should do—so whatever time they devote to personal enjoyment is not "too much," but rather is exactly what’s needed to maintain their health and happiness in light of all those hours spent on the job.
    Keep in mind that there is no "correct" answer to this question. Either side of the issue can be supported with examples and reasons. It is important to make sure that you state your opinion and develop a response that explains your opinion well. The development of your essay is judged by how effectively you support your opinion; a well-developed essay will contain clearly appropriate reasons, examples, and details that illustrate your opinion. Development is not evaluated simply in terms of how many words you write.
    Your response should be well organized. A well-organized essay allows an evaluator to read from the beginning to the end of the essay without becoming confused. You should be sure not to just repeat the same information in different ways.
    The quality and accuracy of the sentence structure and vocabulary you use to express your ideas is also very important.
