Undergraduate / Tell us about any hobby you are passionate about and why you think it's important. UWC essay. [4]

I was a great swimmer in primary school

Since the focus of the essay is on table tennis, this menor mention is not needed. It is an unnecessary discussion deviation that will only confuse the reviewer.

Table tennis played a huge role in shaping my personality

Merge this with the first paragraph.This must be included there as this contains the character discussion push of the essay.

The essay focuses on the importance of your successes as a player. Try to develop the character building aspect. How did the losses make you a better person? Yes, the loss aspect should be discussed. In fact, it is a more noteworthy presentation than the success. The character of a person is generally strengthened by loss through humility, lessosas learned, and character adjustment based upon how loss is handled.

Scholarship / Building my networking through join into the community for Chevening application [3]

A Chevening Networking essay is focused on highlighting an expanded work assistance channel based on training and seminars attended. These may be local, international, virtual or physical. The idea is to prove that you have an existing web of professional connections that can prove to be helpful to the scholars and alumna of the foundation. It is not about a tiny group useful only to your workplace. Remember that one of the networking qualifiers is an explanation of how you will share the network with Chevening. If this is the only networking qualifier you can present, then your application may not move to stage I based on this shortcoming. If you do not have a competitive network to present, then you will find it difficult to revise the presentation.

Writing Feedback / IELTS writing academic about divorce; spikes in break-ups and divorces [2]

The prompt restatement is acceptable. The opinion part though, is not represented at all since there are no direct question responses provided. The discussion outline does not have a clear direction as required by the questions provided.

There are concerning reasons leading couples to split up and even go to divorce.

There is no need to repeat this information. It does not work as a proper topic sentence since it only repeats the last line of the previous paragraph. The first sentence of the reasoning paragraph must indicate the topic or subject of the paragraph immediately.

The solutions presented do not solidly relate to the previously stated problems. The solutions must always be developed based on the previously stated reasons.

A concluding summary must have 2 sentences comprised of 40 words minimum. This presentation does not present an effective discussion recap.

Scholarship / "Behind every good business is a great accountant" Personal Statement GKS Accounting [2]

As I read through Wikipedia, ... read from other website ...

Delete this whole section. Wikipedia and other websites do not factor in as authoritative socuce of motivation for study. In fact, this section sounds more like you are presenting a GKS masearch paper rather than applying for a scholarship.

Since I came from a very poor family, I choose to apply for this scholarship.

You and every other applicant will be using this reason. It is not unique. Remove its mention since it is not a standout motivating reason.

The last part of the essay is unfocused. While these information might be considered, it does not flow well in the presentation. Refer to the prompt requirements. Notice the chronological discussion presentation? Follow it. Present the essay as outlined in the list. That should make it more comprehensive in your presentation.

Scholarship / 'born with full of differences' - GKS Personal Statement - Undergraduate - Business Administration [2]

[quote=Minhtu]That is the reason...impacts on society.[/quote]
This line does not relate to the previous presentation. It appears to be an insertion in the paragraph. It overly dramatic, without a relatable point in the paragraph. You may still use this line in a more relatable paragraph later on.

I hardly met any obstacles on my education path.

Regardless, an obstacle must still be presented. You may use your differences with your family members in reference to this discussion. It need not be an academic obstacle. It can be any sort of obstacle.

If offered the scholarship, I will vlog ... When coming back to Vietnam, I will run a business ...stands out among others.

These information are part of different plans. The vlog is helpful in the language study plan. The career plan upon return and other data are more applicable to a post study plan.

Graduate / Personal Statement for Postgraduate Study. University in United Kingdom (Development Studies) [2]

The personal statement should never be the biography of the student in any fform. Where a motivational statement is not indicated, the personal statement should take its place. This discussion is not well focused on presenting your career development after graduation. Where has your career taken you so far? Would you say that you have developed a different outlook to your career because of your changing interests in the field? Why? What has changed in you so far? How did these lead to the choice of postgraduate studies? Develop this discussion to reflect why you chose the university. complete the presentation in 500 words at the most.You cannot use paragraphs 1-3. Compress the latter presentation using my question guide.

Avoid this type of overstatement. You are not running for political office. Offer relevant experiences as it relates to the application.

Refer to the program as an object since you mention it was home to you. The word program makes it theoretical in representation.

Writing Feedback / Given are the pie charts comparing two sexes in terms of the proportion of occupations in the UK [2]

pie charts comparing two sexes

Clarify that the pie charts for each gender is seperate. This confusing reference to the number of pie shouts is precisely why the image number must be mentioned in the first sentence along with the image type.

proportion of occupations

What are the occupations? The rundown would help add to the reference in the trending statement.

[quote=papcaii]It is also evident that clerical works were widely prevalent among the women, on the contrary, men were not interested in this form of jobs.[/quote]

One trend will suffice. In cases where there is a possibility of 2 trends, pick the strongest one and save the weaker reference for the reporting paragraph.

The writer has forgotten to reference the actual measurements in relation to several mentions. Where a measurement value is present in the image, it must be reported in the paragraph presentation.

Writing Feedback / Writing task 2: University or college is the best route to a successful career [3]

In summary, I conclude

There is no sense in using 2 placement phrases in the end. Be more creative. Use a more academic wrap to the discussion. Show a college level closing statement rather than an ESL classroom taught conclusion summary.

The discussion is well developed and shows a cohesive analyses of both points of view. The writer effectively presents the pros and cons of each in a manner that considers all possible discussion points. These created well explained reasoning paragraphs that the examiner can appreciate.

However, there are certain sections where the writer comes across as ESL. More language fluency practice should help fix that. Scores are also awarded for ENL writing tones.

Writing Feedback / ESSAY ABOUT THE REASONS AND SOLUTIONS OF WATER POLLUTION [2]

Long-term polluting has its own negative impact on the environment.

This is not a direct response to the reason and solution question presented. A lack of discussion topic outline in relation to the qquestions was necessary to show the writer's clear opinion and discussion process within the next 2 paragraphs.

Probably

Avoid words of uncertainty. Ensure that all words used contain an air of understanding, expertise, and clarity. Remember that such words reduce the clarity of opinion upon which certain scores are based.

The reasoning discussion is so busy presenting reasons that the writer forgot to develop cohesive discussion points. The paragraph lacks clear idea development due to the wrong discussion focus.

Because of many negative effects to water resources if long-period pollution.

What is the point of this sentence? There is no logical thought present.

Because

connecting words cannot be used to start a sentence. Remember that these are used to create a budge between 2 ideas in one sentence.

Writing Feedback / Beside maximizing profit, all the companies should care about making benefits for society [3]

all the companies and groups around the world should care about making benefits for society

This part cannot be stated as a fact. Rather, it should be represented as a possible discussion point due to implied conflicting views in the original. Remember that this is a written debate. 2 sides need to be present for an effective discussion.

I highly agree

No need to get emotional. This is a simple rather than extent discussion format. Just agree and say why using 2 reasons.

In one hand

On the other hand

Do not use comparative phrases as much as possible. These have a tendency to alter the perception of your work from a single opinion to a comparative one. Use these phrases only in discuss both views presentations.

Save for a few errors, the essay discusses a single opinion as expected and shows logical discussion points.

Writing Feedback / The two pictures illustrate how the layout of the ground floor in this house will be changed [2]

The word presentation, though passing in minimum consideration, does not allow for a maximum scoring consideration. If the writer aims to write 175-200 words, his writing will be considered well-developed and more analyzed. Limiting the written words also places an early cap on the sectional scores. Do not overwrite, but do not write too little either. Just meeting the word requirement does not boost the possible score. Use a middle word count to achieve a better score.

There should be 3 paragraphs of at least 3 sentences each. The discussion is not balanced. The analysis should have more depth. Something like:

Paragraph 2: Analyze the original image
Paragraph 3: Compare the changes or unchanged portions within the images.

Writing Feedback / Increasing the price of fuel as the optimal solution to solve environmental problems [2]

The prompt restatement should never be over discussed. The topic presentation should not alter the original presentation by digressing from the original subject as presented. Reword it but do not add information not included in the first version. As for the opinion, "While I agree" is not the correct response format. A more acceptable response frame is " I agree with the statement to the extent that... " Such a response gives an advanced and more analytical opinion as it allows for a thesis based extent representation.

Well, college education considered, it would appear that you have related courses that could serve the application consideration well. The car development project shows an ability to work in the field. Provided you have not graduated too long ago. more than a decade after graduation and the information you knew to be relevant then may not be so at present. If you are applying for admission to a work related masters course, then it will be difficult for you to gain program consideration. Plan on applying toa non-work experience related masters instead. That is university reliant. Yes, there are universities that will not consider your work experience as a part of the career change consideration.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Essay about DANGEROUS SPORTS needed [2]

The first paragraph does not provide a restatement + opinion. Rather, the writer entered into a direct discussion in what should have been a mere paraphrasing paragraph. It does not accomplish the following:

- Present an accurate representation of the orginal topic
- Refer to the 2 public opinions individually
- Create a comprehensive thesis opinion

This misrepresentation is enough to make the test - taker fail the first half of the test, leading to an insurmountable low over all score. Please provide an accurate version of the orginal instead. When discussing the public opinions, present your point of view for each. Indicate why you do not support or, why you support the public opinion. That would be the most score efficient way to discuss the topic.

Writing Feedback / Discuss both views. Cheap products or long lasting product. This is an IELTS essay [3]

The prompt restatement fails to provide the previously stated reasons for each public opinion prior to the personal opinion. The restatement is inaccurate. The idea presentation for each is incomplete and without basis.

Populous

Incorrectly used word reference. While it is an advanced word,the writer does not realize it does not accurately refer to people within the meaning of the sentence. Words must be used to refer to the correct sentence meaning.

I think both arguments are valid

This is a personal opinion that should be developed in a single paragraph. This cannot be introduced in the conclusion as new topics cannot be introduced in this section. While the phrase "In conclusion" was used, there was no real conclusion presented. Mere use of the please, without presenting the appropriate information does not create a conclusion.

Undergraduate / GKS 2022 undergraduate major in film. "Being a part of something special makes you special, right?" [2]

The language discussion does not belong in this statement. heate a far more intricate language study history in the appropriate and seperate essay. That way you can spend more time creating a historical presentation of your language learning style. This statement should focus more on your background and course related interests. As far as course related interests are concerned, you do not do a very good job of proving a serious pursuit of film -making. Beyond an interest in watching movies and quotes from television characters, there is no evidence ofa basic skill development, any amateur success that would prove a potential to suceed and reason to award a scholarship cannot be found either. So in terms of the following , the essay fails to leave a mark:

If applicable, describe awards you have received, publications you have made, or skills you have acquired,

This not really included as a suggestion although it is presented as such. Unless you can prove an early interest and pursuit of felmaking , the essay does not work. Yes, it was mentioned as apart of the high school track, then nothing. There was no real continuing skills development to prove you deserve the sponsorship.

Writing Feedback / Essay about the factors bringing success - advise [2]

It is true

This creates a problem with the orginal topic rephrasing. There is no question being asked of the writer in terms of statement veracity. Such a response is therefore, misplaced in the presentation. As this is most likely the personal opinion of the author, such a belief should be witten into the thesis response instead. That is, it must be integrated into the personal opinion section of the paragraph.Its current placement alters the given topic, forcing points reduction for the paragraph.

On the one hand

On the other hand

Stand- alone sentence presentations will not add to the score as these do not follow the paragraph presentation requirements. Blend these points of new into the actual reasoning paragraphs.

While I agree that ...I believe that libraries have their own importance in providing resources.

The opinion of the writer is unclear. Do you agree or disagree? The response can only support one opinion. As this is not an extent statement, a deque based response cannot be used. The essay has failed at this point. A passing preliminary score cannot be awarded due to a lack of opinion clarity as indicated in the discussion qquestion. The second failure reason is the way the response is deemed incorrect based on the required answer format.

Writing Feedback / [IELTS WRITING TASK 2] SHOULD CHILDREN DECIDE THEIR OWN CAREER? [2]

due to the fact that they know their children best.

This is a topic reason deviation. It is not supported in the orginal statement. It has altered the original topic proposal because the writer chose to provide a prisonal opinion in the restatement. By beginning the reasoning discussion too early, he has forced a restatement failure, even as the opinion placement is correct in format. The first paragraph may have difficulty achieving a passing consideration in the preliminary stage.

how can they stick to it and give their best performance?

Avoid rhetorical questions such as these. The reason stating a response to the qquestion creates a score lowering topic alteration. Stick to related statements instead.

Kick off the discussion with a proper topic outline. The reader needs to know that you have a solid set of supporting ideas for your opinion. It will definitely add to the overall clarity of your opinion as related to the topic.

The discussion topics need to be be better outlined Act can indicate anything from trash out to literature. Due to the expansive discussion scope, limit the presentation to 2 specific out forms.

Writing Feedback / Real or imaginary that you plan to do this summer. Try to think topic about time with friends [2]

and so on with each other and so on

What? This presentation does not connect well with the previous presentations. Avoid vague references since the letter calls for precise descriptions.

I planned

Wrong time reference. The instruction asks for future plans. These are yet to happen so the past reference, as in, activities already done and completed cannot be used.

Divide the activities by day and paragraphs.That way a more thorough idea presentation can be completed based on a daily activity focus. Luch a format can use a more active voice and allow the writer to inject more excitement to the future plans.

The writer should be sharing the letter with the friend who will be involved in the activity. Instead the writer is asking for an opinion The writer is using the incorrect letter format.

Writing Feedback / The line graph illustrates the amount of people who bought music over seven years time frame [4]

The writer was doing a good job of representing percentages, but then stopped referring to alternate words for percentage. This left the reader confused and wondering if percentages were still being discussed. continued use of synonyms for the key measurement reference was needed for good scores in the LR, C + C, and G R A sections. Always refer to keywords in various ways.

Each paragraph is a very busy run-on presentation. Kindly use 3-5 sentences in 3 paragraphs to properly meet the paragraph format considerations. These rushed sentence presentations lower the C + C section even further due to the lack of explanation development and clarity.

A task 1 essay need not be concluded. This is a report, not an opinion essay.

Writing Feedback / Past and present views on damaged items [2]

Do not focus solely on the vocabulary aspect of the score. Such a presentation shows that the writer does not have a well-built English vocabulary and that he is incapable of writing properly structured English sentences. Big words do not create simple and complex sentences. That is the misconception the with relied on. It led to an essay that is nest to impossible to understand due to the constant incorrect word usage in the presentation. The writer did not understand that the words used formed incoherent sentences that will definitely fail in 3 sections:

- L R
- C + C
- GRA

This essay will find it difficult to recieve a passing score.
