You should decide either to agree or disagree with the topic statement. Then, you should use reasons and examples to support your choice. There is no right or wrong answer. You can also choose to provide a neutral argument, but that makes it a little more difficult to write. In general, a good strategy is to pick a side and stick to it. The form of an essay for the TOEFL writing test is very general. You should have an introduction and a conclusion. Between them, you use your body paragraph(s) to explain your reasoning or list your examples or evidence. Since a typical TOEFL essay is maybe 200 words or a little longer, there really is enough space for two body paragraphs. One common strategy is to write the introduction, give two examples, and write the conclusion, totalling in 4 paragraphs. Another common strategy is to write the introduction, give one example, give one counterexample, and then write the conclusion.
