Hi Jade, as I go through the essay, I must say the ideas are quiet confusing, confusing because you seem to have almost ended your essay in the 3rd to the last paragraph, then again you have a few more paragraphs following this that made the essay appear to be indecisive, so you see, it is confusing.

When confronted with this kind of confusion, I normally go through the essay again, outline the points that you want to be depicted in your essay, follow them through, make sure that you highlight each and every point and stick to it. Be cautious on the sequence or the flow of your essay as this will be the overall outcome of the ideas you are trying to point out in your essay.

In a written argument such as this one, it will definitely help that you have a firm idea of the matter, which in this case you did, however, it should also be coupled with a well structured idea that will strengthen your stand point.

Furthermore, this topic is absolutely overwhelming and can really create a well written argument. Now, there's not much to revise the essay, however, I suggest that you zip the last three paragraphs and turn into one final conclusive part and this should create a stronger argumentative essay.

Hi Devin, don't you think it will not be good to talk about your weakness in your appeal for scholarship?, because I think so, the reason being, this letter is an appeal for you to get to school and anything weak will not help your application.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't mean that you have to be upbeat and focus on just the positive attributes of your academic standing, however, the way it was presented in the essay, it needs a little enhancement.

Introduction
- I am writing to appeal the loss of my Gold Scholarship
* in this part of the essay, you can eliminate the word "loss" in the introduction, as this essay is tagged as an appeal, so pretty much the purpose of the letter is already established.

3rd paragraph
- I was unaware that Math 0993 was not a degree accredited course. Had I earned the five credits I thought I was taking, I would be over the required credit hours.- this particular information can also be eliminated as this will only bring a weaker understanding in your position as a scholarship holder.

As much as I would like to agree with you that the mentioned issues are not to be regarded as excuses, there some circumstances that we don't have the power to control of, I do hope that you will be able to get back on track and do let us know what comes out of this appeal, we'd love to hear from you.

Further to your essay, core curriculum is an absolute must in a our process of learning and most schools and institutions need to impose this as much as they can. Mathematics and English are a must and true enough, in the end, one will actually realize that this subjects helps us in our daily life.

Overall, the presentation of the essay is very neat, the ideas are all streamlined to the purpose of the essay, however, I believe the last paragraph can still be enhanced.

Hi Howard, honestly, as I go through the essay, I must say that the words you use in your sentences are very clear, it exudes the clarity of the ideas that you want to convey in your answer. Though the prompt is quiet heavy and geared towards a serious standing on professionalism, I believe you manage to express a positive and rather lighter meaning to the word and its meaning.

Further to your essay, you we're having doubts with the last few sentences of the essay due to the fact that you have exhausted all the pertinent information for the topic and as much as I would like reading your essay, I think you have stretched the idea too long that you run out of information to fulfill the answer to the prompt. However, you don't need to, I believe, aside from the minor enhancements as mentioned above, you can definitely focus on refining the sentence construction as this is a crucial part of the essay.

Overall, it is a well managed essay, the length can still be dragged down to just 2 paragraphs but make sure that you don't eliminate the necessary information and don't worry, a prompt like this doesn't need to be that long, it's just needs to be straight forward and direct to the point.

Hi Gabriel, I would like o add a few insights to your essay.

First of all, if I were to ask, when it comes to relationship, I personally believe that, one should consider all there that has to be considered, such as family background, education, hobbies, personal opinion on things and more importantly, finances, this is a very important aspect of a relationship, if the couple is not able to talk about and settle things when it comes to finances, then they might not be able to work things out in the end.

Going back to your essay, I believe you managed to showcase each and every opinion you want to convey to your readers, the fact that you clearly stated all our ideas only means that you understood the prompt and you know exactly how to construct the details of your project.

However, I believe that the final paragraph can still be enhanced;

- In this and many casesFrom the reasons mentioned above ,
- I thinkbelieve that a saying is wiser than an opinion.
- but willwould rarely admit to it.
- Finally, I suggest anyone to marry thethat one
- the diversity from within.

There you have it Gabriel, I hope the above remarks and insights helped in your revision, do let us know when you need further assistance.

Hi Grab, WELCOME to the Essay Forum Family, I hope you are able to use helpful tips and useful insights from our website. We aim to provide you with that much needed accurate feedback in order to develop your essay and make it stronger.

Now, as I go through your essay, it actually feels like the answer to the prompt is pretty long, I believe it should not take this much length to answer the given prompt. I would like to put it simply, "What motivates you to pursue PT?"

You see, this prompt does not necessarily require you to include a lot of information about your family background nor a lot of information about your job, now, don't get me wrong, all this experience definitely aid your pursuit in taking Doctorate in PT, however, I suggest that you eliminate a little bit of the information you have in this essay. Try to minimize this input and focus more on the outcome of this Doctorate program, this will lead you to a clearer and more defined essay. It will also streamline the goal of the essay, therefore minimizing unnecessary information that may not be helpful to your application.

Overall, I believe that the essay can still be enhance by minimizing the essay to 3 paragraphs with only the right doze of information about your personal life, academic achievements and your ultimate aspirations on pursuing this Doctorate program.

Writing Feedback / Some people think that holding parties, wedding parties, birthday parties are waste of money [3]

Hi Jery, first of all, I love hosting parties, so if I were to write about this task,I will lean towards the, "I don't agree that parties are waste of money", anyway, as I review your essay, I believe you made your point, you highlighted the ongoing argument on this topic and it's well managed, the fact that you brought both sides of the argument to the table only means that you have answered and proven your point towards the topic.

If I were to defend myself, however, I believe parties are not waste of money at all, though to hold a party, one will definitely need to buy food and all party essentials, this does not mean that you are wasting them, I look at it as a union, a celebration of life's simple pleasure, to get to know your relatives and friends better and to simply enjoy life.

On the other hand, I also agree that holding parties is not the only way to get to know your friends and celebrate life, it can be with a small lunch, a cup of coffee or just simply admiring nature. Going back to your essay, I believe the grammar and sentence construction needs to be enhanced. The thing is, you have the idea and you know how to approach your essay but you're somehow missing on the strength and the conviction of your argument. I hope my insights helped!

Writing Feedback / Essay about Four elements of good writing [2]

Hi Huyen, what I loved about your essay is the fact that, I learned a lot from it,see the thing is, of course there's a lot of articles written about the fundamentals of a good essay writing, but yours is somehow written in a way that its not too taxing to read and understand, not only that, you highlighted the each and every paragraph properly, giving the right gap or breather for the reader to grasp the information first then move on to the next one.

Though there are still a few modifications that needs to be done to enhance your essay, they are rather manageable, so no sweat, but of course its better if this enhancements are dealt with before submission. Further to your article, it pays that you injected a few unusual words that are not commonly associated to a normal essay. A smooth transition from each elements also pave the way to better understand the process of coming up with a good or well written essay.

Now, as we write, we also have to make sure that there is that much needed lesson to be learned, I believe, aside from the points you mentioned above, this is also, one fundamental part of the essay. It does not only give the essay a personal touch but it also allows the writer to impart valuable lessons that can be put into practice later on in life. Overall, a well managed essay or or a good article does not rely on the rules, rules are guidelines and what matters is the dedication and the genuine act of good will to the people who will take part on reading your work.

To elaborate this observation, please find the reasons below;

1st paragraph
- It is for this and many other reason that I'm very interested in studying at UBC. - when you say "many other reasons", this may not be enough to create that notion of strong desire or interest in being a part of UBC, you have to be very specific.

Conclusion paragraph

Writing Feedback / 10 MOST EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO READ AND REMEMBER [6]

HI Beatrice, first thing that I notice in your essay is the fact that there is no uniform or concentration of ideas in your essay. I say this because, as I read through the essay, I found some actions that needs to be highlighted that are taken into the back burner instead of having them as banners. Speaking of banners, the last banner you have is not pointed out as important as the others, this can actually ruin the overall impact of the essay, uniformity is the key.

Also, is this essay backed by any cited work? The reason I asked is because, an essay like this, once its published, it is you who is responsible for the outcome of this article, therefore, we have to be very careful and back our topics with the most credible source as we can. Though this is tagged as writing feedback, it still needs to have as much information to cite the claims that you have and this is very critical in this kind of writing.

Having said that, I hope that you revise the essay with the necessary source and it will greatly help if you have it written in a parenthesis and included in the article. Keep writing!

Withe regards to your, "thinking outside of the box", I believe you can write something that you can really bring to the panel, to the institution that you will become part of. To make things simpler, answer the question, Who am I?

This question can definitely spark a lot of thoughts and ideas that you have in your head
Also, it will do you good if you incorporate at least a paragraph of ideas or things that you can formulate to raise any cause that you want to pursue, it may be academic or social bound.

Furthermore, make your essay interesting as well as entertaining but be careful and make sure that you draw the line between being creative and formal at the same time, the essay should be at its borderline formality as well as observing the playful effects of your ideas that will boost a healthy academic adventure that will hopefully lead you to the greater heights of your career.

Undergraduate / WARMTH - CORNELL HOTEL SCHOOL APPLICATION 2016 [4]

Hi Lincoln, below are my thoughts on your essay;

First of all, addressing "high school is hell", may not be worth including in your essay. Remember, in everything you do, if you cannot say something nice to somebody or something, then don't blurt it out, believe me, it will not do you good. Don't get me wrong, you can still express negative feedback towards things or people but if this will create an unpleasant feeling, then better not.

Moreover, I would like you to be honest in all your writing articles but, if you can, avoid negative words and thoughts. Mind that this letter is you, you represent yourself in all your writing articles, therefore, it pays to be always on the safe side. Having said that, a hotel school may be a tough cookie to eat, therefore, you need to take an even farther understanding of the topic and not submit a rather shallow one.

The hospitality industry is the industry that keeps on giving, chew on this thought and I know that you will be able to revise and strengthen your essay. College is tough and hotel school is definitely an even greater challenge that's why it takes a lot thinking through to make it to the list.

I hope my insights helped and I wish to review the revised essay soon.

Writing Feedback / The Heart-Breaking Truth about Exotic Pets and the Painful Journey They Take [3]

Hi Janahan, here are my thoughts on your research.

First of all, it is missing a few more facts, this is somehow the major part that I was looking forward to, due to the fact that the issue is definitely widespread, there are a lot of articles written about this topic as it is a rather pressing issue that needs to be urgently addressed. However, I believe you've done your research and this is very evident in your paper.

Furthermore, you doubted the information in the paper, this is quiet usual, due to the fact that, when writing a research paper, you tend to think that you have exhausted all the information from what you have gathered and this drives you to sort the information again and rephrase them, though this is not advisable, it is better to stick to the facts than taking some information from an outside unverified source.

For your conclusion, here's my suggestion;

Though this paper will not save this animals from cruelty and the ordeal that they face, I aim to open the eyes of the public to do each and every help they can to preserve our exotic friends, they are members of our family and the world we live in is always better having them around.

There you have it Janahan, I hope the above remarks and enhancements are useful.

This simple mindset will bring us closer to a peaceful world to live in.

Further to your essay, I like the fact that you did a little research in order to support your opinion towards the topic and this is a very good technique in order to get that trust from your readers. However, I have a few minor corrections that will hopefully be useful to your revision;

Writing Feedback / TOFEL writing practice - Can teachers be both popular(students like them) and helpful to students? [5]

Hi Julian, as I read through your essay, I must say that you are able to create an argument worth reading. The points you highlighted is very realistic, it happens in our daily lives and more importantly, it is indeed a debatable topic as to the fact that teachers can be both effective and quiet entertaining of they will.

As for my experience, an effective teacher is somebody who can and able to interact with the students, it makes learning more fun and honestly, there's nothing wrong with having fun while learning, though the boundaries should be set, the students will be able to learn and grasp the lessons better when they get along with the teachers.

Going back to your essay, below are my thoughts;

1st paragraph
- It has been a long debated topic
- the harmonicharmonious and peaceful - atmosphere in the class,

3rd paragraph
- Secondly, there are many ways of makingacquiring knowledge easier to remember, and one of them,

Last paragraph
- for the best for their academic performance.
- the statement of there existsnotion that a conflict between effectiveness and popularity exist .

There you have it Julian, I hope this modification helps!

Writing Feedback / Sweatshop about clothing and a child does not have education, workers very poor and get low wages [3]

Hi Wendy, first of all, in this essay, I can definitely feel that you are somehow furious, furious of the fact that people are somehow, taken for granted and I agree that this practice of taking our workforce for granted has to stop. It should end as soon as possible, not only because they create a very bad feeling towards the person being treated wrong, but because it creates an overall picture that labor is known for these days and this is definitely not acceptable.

Further to your essay, as it doesn't have any label for a research paper or any writing project, it actually looks like you're just venting your heart out and as much as we want to hear and talk about anything and everything, EF is not the right avenue for this venting.

Anyhow, as I would like to look at this as a research paper, I would like to suggest that you include the citations, of course, as this is the basis of the information extracted and incorporated on the paper.

I'm looking forward to your enlightenment on this paper, label it properly and make sure that when you enter in this kind of battle, you're armed with the right information and foundation.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Task 2: More and more people in developing countries are purchasing cars for the first time. [2]

Hi Mahdi, below are my thoughts for your essay.

Indeed, a growing number of people are buying cars these days and this act means heavier traffic, increasing demand in fuel, lesser usage of government funded public transportation and the worst, road rage. Now, if I were to be asked, I would rather walk, if I can or if the weather will allow and the distance of course or use public transport, however, I cannot blame a lot of people who choose to buy cars than rushing to the metro station to catch the last ride home. This are just a few reasons that hinders people to use public transport and go for personal cars. Is there any positive outcome of this increasing number of car usage, well, the comfortability it gives to the owner of the car.

Moving on, I believe the essay is managed well, your ideas are heard and the message has come across your readers, however, you conclusion can be strengthened. Please find my suggestions below;

- In conclusion, purchasing automobile in developing countries is extremely increasing extremely .
As result of horrible, imposing bighigher tax value for car owners is a best way to overcome itthis issue . Therefore, that solution should be attempted.- this last sentence is not necessary.

There you have it Mahdi, I hope the modifications helped and are useful to your revision.

Scholarship / "The benefits that derive from studying abroad": a 2-paged KE Scholarship Personal Statement [4]

Hi Philipe, I would also like to share a few insights towards your essay.

First of all, it is indeed a well developed personal statement, you manage to address each and every instruction that is required in order to hand in a well managed essay that is focused on the benefits of studying abroad and in your case, studying in Korea. To start, Korea is one of the worlds fastest growing country, not only in terms of its economy but also in fostering good, or should I say, world class education to its citizens and expats, therefore, you made the right choice in participating in this program.

Furthermore, each and every paragraph in your letter is structured and focused on a single idea, this helps the reviewer to conclude the goal of each paragraph, giving a way of unparalleled understanding towards the purpose of the essay.

Now, I do suggest, though this is very minor, it will help, that the length of the letter is not this long, see, the thing is, the reviewers will have a few other applications to review, this means they will only have as much time to dedicate in each and every application. Having said that, when eliminating this informations, make sure that they are the right information to delete and the purpose of your letter will not get affected.

Undergraduate / "THE HIGH FIVE" COMMON APP ESSAY 2016 - making success from a failure [3]

Hi Sung, as I go through your essay, I must say that you have a well managed essay, you made sure that failure are taken into considerations and all your experiences are elaborated in a manner that it is understood by your readers.

Now, as much as I love the fact that you have a clear view on the task at hand, for a common app essay, it needs to be a lot more formal, don't get me wrong, you have a very creative approach on this essay and this is a very good technique of a writer, however, this essay will not be appropriate for this writing.

There you have it Sung, for future writing reference, mind the sentences structure, I believe this is where your weak points lies, one thing that can definitely help is reading, reading English literatures will let you see how words are used in a sentence, therefore, giving you that extra edge.Also, avoid using the word, "and" to begin or start your sentences, this words are used in linking phrases or ideas and not in starting it.

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 1 Three categories of crimes in a particular city, 1984-2009. [5]

Hi Risty, on this analysis, what is noticeable is how you associate the words in your sentences, though not a lot of them are in the right places, it is well noted that there is a progress in your writing.

Here are my suggestions to enhance your analysis.

- A breakdown of the people numbersof people - Overall, there was a numbersis a decline
- in the number of people

- Street robbery increased gradually,and peaked at over 3000.

- This was ais the biggest number
- of criminal cases at thatfor this given year,
- Both Thishouse burglary case and
- All the cases had a decline gap around 160 crimes duringfor 25 year.

There you have it Risty, I suggest that you focus on sentence structure as this is where you fell short, this is very critical as this will affect the overall outcome of the essay.

Undergraduate / Common app supplement Essay: Harvard University Supplement essay [4]

Hi Sambhab, sorry if you posted an essay a few days and no one reviewed the essay,its not that we don't review them, believe me, we make sure that each and every writing article is reviewed and in our reviews, we make sure that we provide you with the most accurate and comprehensive feedback in order to strengthen the essay.

Moving forward, as much as this essay is all about how you developed your intellectual skills, that doesn't mean that you have to write it in a way that a regular reader would understand. I, for one, had to check on the dictionary, every time I come across a sentence that is not so clear to me, in this case, I must admit its a little bit taxing and this is not how its suppose to be.

What I mean is, though the essay is asking for intellectual development, you still have to make sure that what you wrote will be understood by your readers, this way, their will not be any misleading of information and in the end you will be able to convey the message to your readers.

Further to your, I suggest that you avoid using the words, "but", "and" and other words that are usually use in the middle of the sentence as linking words and not in the beginning of the sentence.

There you have it Sambhab, there's still a lot of work to be done in your essay and I hope you follow through with the modifications.

Undergraduate / Two different houses - What was the environment you were raised? [2]

Hi Jocelyn, first of all, as this letter is for your admission to college, it would greatly help if the focus of the essay is not in your family background and rather towards your academic achievements, struggles and journey. I understand that you are trying to draw a wider picture about yourself and your aspirations, however, beginning or starting the essay with your family background will sound like you're begging for the institution to admit you. Now, don't get me wrong, it's good to include some information about your family background, however, if you can keep it within a few sentences or a total of 1 paragraph, it will give you that space to write about your academic information, therefore giving that much needed boost for your letter.

Moving on to your sentences, I find them a little bit odd, to elaborate my findings, below is an example;

- My mom has 3 kids including me.- instead of writing or formulating your sentences like this, I suggest you write it like this,

We are a family of four, my mom and my 2 siblings.

You see, a simple revision and proper grouping of words makes a lot of difference. I hope the insights are useful and do let us know should you need further reference towards your revision.
