Letters / motivation letter for master of science by a data analyst with mechatronic bachelor degree [2]

You developed a personal statement rather than a motivational letter. The content of this paper are only an expanded version of your resume in the sense that you discuss your work position inclusive of duties and responsibilities, while providing an overview of your educational background. What the essay is missing is a clear career path or future career vision that will require you to complete masters studies in data science. You skimmed over that possible aspect in the part of the essay where you stated:

This program will provide the advanced knowledge and research opportunities I need to achieve my career aspirations in data science. Specifically, I am looking forward to gaining a deeper understanding of machine learning, data visualization, and data management, as well as the opportunity to conduct research in these areas.

This is actually where the motivational considerations start, but you neglected to develop in the essay. You can actually delete this version of the essay, using the above mentioned section to kick off a better and more relevant motivational letter in the next version.

Writing Feedback / Some people say that it's better to work from home than work in an office. Do you agree or disagree? [2]

The first problem with this task 2 piece is that it is under the word count minimum of 250. There are only 225 words written will cause an automatic failing score due to the word count percentage deductions. The second problem of this paper is that the writer does not follow the correct response writing format which is:

Par. 1 - topic restatement + writer's opinion
Par. 2 - Reasoning 1
Par. 3 - Reasoning 2
Par. 4 - Reverse paraphrase

The lack of proper writing format will result in a failing TA score. Additionally, deductions will also be applied in the LR, GRA, and C+C scores of the essay due to the incorrect vocabulary usage, conflicting word usage, and lack of clarity in the idea presentation. The essay will not receive a passing score because it is not understandable enough to a native English speaker.

Undergraduate / Computer Science - applying for ODYLP: Vietnam [6]

Yoiu should be describing academic subjects related to computer science. Computer Science is a field of study. It is not the academic subject. Subjects related to computer science include, but are not limited to Algebra, Physics, geometry, chemistry, computer coding, LLM, and other similar courses. Your response is not tailored to suit the question being asked. You need to revise your response to indicate the subjects, rather than the field of study since the question is related to courses related to the field rather than the field itself.You do not show a true familiarity with the field of interest that you hope to attend the program for. This is clearly seen through the inappropriate response that you provided for this question.

Letters / The 5th Industrial Revolution - Stipendium Hungaricum Motivation Letter [2]

You appear to be academically qualified for the scholarship but, have failed to include true motivating factors that would help highlight your desire and need to study in Hungary. Where is the reference to your future career path that can only become a reality through an education in Hungary? What drove you to consider primarily Hungary for your studies? The aspirations are not clear, the way the education will be used is not referenced. Why did you commit yourself to the 5th industrial revolution? It is not enough to make vague references. You have to show the reviewer your motivations using persuasive information and practices.Choose a specific university and discuss how you align with the university learning objectives and professional considerations.

Undergraduate / Searching Beyond the Surface- Common App Essay [2]

My buddy Grace h

Grace is not really relevant to the rest of the story so her inclusion at the beginning is not necessary. It is a topic diversion that will just confuse the reviewer. Keep his focus on you and what you want to say. I understand there have been other influences in your life, but they are not relevant to the slant that you want to provide in this essay.

Learning not to judge others

What were you like before? What drove you to join this organization? Why is it important to you that you have learned not to judge others?

Save for a few content presentation adjustments, I can safely say that this has shaped up to be a useful character trait essay. Good job.

Writing Feedback / Focused Study vs. Multidisciplinary Learning-IELTS Writing Task 2 [2]

This essay agrees

The prompt clearly states that you should state your opinion on the topic. The requirement for stating your opinion is ownership. Own the point of view that is being presented by using first person pronouns. Remember, the essay cannot write itself nor does it have its own opinion. As the writer, you need to make a strong statement by properly referring to your strong stance in this paragraph presentation.

group

This is an overused word in this essay that will definitely have a negative effect on your LR score. You need to vary your word usage in terms of synonyms so that you can show a wide vocabulary range. Alternative words for group in reference to the discussion are: cohort, team of students, crop of students, batch of students, body of students, etc.

When discussing the republic opinion in comparison to your personal opinion, make sure to differentiate the points of view through proper first and second person pronoun usage.. The lack of pronoun usage affected the cohesiveness and coherence of your presentation negatively.

Letters / Becoming a doctor - STIPENDIUM HUNGARICUM MOTIVATION LETTER [3]

The first 2 paragraphs of this essay do not really help to move the essay forward. The motivation aspect does not start till the 3rd paragraph. Then, the actual motivation / inspiration, such as your mother's illness, is not fully covered so that the reviewer can actually consider it a proper motivation. The strongest motivational factor is your diagnosis at the age of 3. However, you failed to properly build up the information so that it could serve as a proper motivation for wishing to become a doctor. Basically, you can fix the essay by delving deeper into how your mother's illness affected your eventual decision to become a doctor, aside from your own illness. I do not advise Tha you focus too much on Covid 19 because that will be a topic that a majority of the applicants will be using as their motivation to apply for the scholarship.

Undergraduate / short fuse guy - ubc personal profile. who i am what/im proud of/how would people describe me [3]

You are using the correct pronounce reference in the essay, which is a good start.The problem, is that you are not dividing the essay into the required community memberships as indicated in the prompt requirement. You are also starting the story way too far in your past for it to make any sense to the reviewer. You should be starting from your most recent high school and community organization memberships. I am afraid that you cannot use this specific version for your application. My advice, is that you write a new essay that better considers your recent activities in various settings, then tie those into what you are most proud of. You can use the lifeguard story once you fix the community story.

Undergraduate / Academic and Giving back to the community activities - KAIST undergraduate [3]

The way that you have the response set up is too generic. It is a glossed over version of the expected response to the writing guides. None of the information that you have provided helps your application to stand out. The data you included describes just about any student of the lowest abilities applying for a slot at KAIST. You need to provide more notable information about your preparation, your future goals, and the reasons why you have chosen to apply at KAIST. While you provided expected information, you have not given the reviewers any specific information that could be compared to the other applicants. The information you provide should help propel your application to the top of the application pile.

Undergraduate / Imagination and Design - Supplementary Application Essay - UOFT [2]

There is too much emphasis on the past in your essay. You have solidly established your background in design as it relates to spaces. That is where the problem with your presentation lies. Remember what the prompt is asking you to describe as a response?

... and how you wish to address it in your future career.

Imagine what your future career would be like. How do you imagine shaking up the world of space design? How do you envision a future workspace, residence, or any area you can think of as benefitting from your imagination and expertise as trained by UOFT?

Scholarship / Focused intention and effort - the UWC values / personal challenge [2]

This is an interesting response to the question provided. However, I believe it is too abstract for the reviewer to consider. Self improvement is something that is done on a daily basis and does not require an immediate response to failure. Self improvement is a continuing process that, although admirable in intent, does not offer a clear idea regarding how you deal with failure. Try to use a stronger value such as integrity, honesty, fairness, to name but a few. What sort of situation have you found yourself challenging this and then failing? How did you recover from that failure? That is the sort of presentation you can use as a more appropriate response to the provided guide questions.

The response that you have provided is good, but not aligned with the requirements of the prompt. A more appropriate answer would have been to reference how the wrestling match helped you realize your potential as an Engineer. Describe an enlightenment when it comes to using the physical movements of the opponents in relation to building a strong foundation that is not easily swayed nor broken. Discuss how observing your opponent reminded you of the way that engineers observe certain things in relation to building a strong stucture. Something along those lines.Right now, I do not read any reference in relation to how your activity helped to shape your decision to enroll in the Engineering course at U of T.

Research Papers / The Dual Crisis of Gun Violence and Rights: A Mutual Understanding [2]

The first edit you have to make to this research paper is in the introduction + thesis statement. You need to remove the in-text citation in that section because the introduction is used to establish your idea of the importance of the topic and the research paper. It does not require the use of other sourced information yet. The introduction and the later part of the essay is really good. It was just the inclusion of unnecessary information that made the presentation incorrect. You could actually take the cited information, using it in other sections of the essay instead. It will not be difficult to integrate that information into the other sections.

Do your best to not use successive citations in one paragraph. You have to either spread it out or paraphrase the presentation. Teachers often have a citation threshold for a percentage of the paper. If you go over it, you could get an automatic failing score for your presentation.

Letters / A Chinese language teacher - Motivation Latter- Stipendium Hungaricum 2025 [2]

Your motivation to study Languages as a masters course needs to be better focused on the study of languages, rather than a full focus on Hungarian. While your motivation to learn and become more proficient in Hungarian is admirable, you are not going to be studying just Hungarian under this masters course. So your motivation should be related to learning about languages instead. Your application is not aligned with the offerings and expectations of a Stipendium Hungaricum scholar. You could actually gain fluency in Hungarian without needing the scholarship, nor moving to Hungary for studies. So the motivation you are presenting does not work in this instance. It is too narrow in focus.

Undergraduate / "Impact of sports on my life as an asthmatic" - CMU Prompt [2]

The opening scenario is quite dramatic but is not followed through on by the rest of the essay. A less dramatic opening would suffice to help you achieve a clearer presentation of your being an Asthmatic. You may consider using an actual sports event scenario triggering an Asthma attack and leading you to your diagnosis. The essay seems to get lost in focus though. Are you wanting to inform the reviewer about your being an asthmatic? Or is it about the effects of Asthma on your sports participation? You are trying to cover too much in a simple response. Try to use a more focused, singular presentation instead.

Writing Feedback / Afghanistan's challenges - My Career Plan for Chevening [2]

While your career plans clearly state the motivation for your desire to help Afghan women, it is not properly aligned with the Chevening career plan requirements. you need to write a totally new essay at this point that will better discuss your career path after you complete your studies under the scholarship. That means you should have a career plan presentation that mentions your plans over the next 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. That represents your short, medium, and long term career plan. Exactly how do you plan to achieve your ultimate goal? Where do you plan to work as you climb the career ladder? How will you achieve that? What role does the DFID or Chevenening alumni network play in the scenarios you will be developing? Your understanding of how the DFID or Chevening projects in your home country will be of the utmost importance and consideration for the reviewers. It is clear from this career presentation that you do not have a proper understanding of how Chevening works and the benefits that the DFID, specifically, can bring to your career. There are more than several examples that you can base your revised career plan on in this forum. I advise you to read the previous submissions and the advice given for their improvement. Those should help you improve your own presentation.

Writing Feedback / Should punishments be fixed or based on circumstances and motivation? - IELTS WRITING TASK 2 [3]

The writer did not respond to the given topic in the instructed writing manner. When the instruction indicates that the author is to discuss both sides and provide an opinion, the following writing format is expected to be found in his reasoning paragraphs:

1. State the public opinion.
2. Explain the basis of the public opinion in 2 sentences.
3. Oppose or support the given public opinion in the remaining 2 sentences.

A variation of the sentence information representation may be used at the writer's discretion. This is actually a compare and contrast essay so the writer needs to fully validate his opinions using personal knowledge or public knowledge while providing examples to support his opinion whenever necessary or possible. The current version of this essay is written solely from a personal point of view, which will hinder its ability to gain a higher and more appropriate final score during an actual test.

Writing Feedback / Balancing Urban Growth: Should Parks Make Way for Housing? - WRITING IELTS TASK 2 [2]

The writer shows an understanding of the topic that was provided through his accurate restatement of the problem and its underlying basis. However, there is an incorrect representation of the writing opinion that was given at the end of the original statement. Since this is a single opinion essay, and the essay cannot write itself, the writer is expected to take ownership of the opinion being presented using the first person pronoun "I". Additionally, the instruction clearly indicated that there is a degree of response expected, which the author did not provide in the representative response. Therefore, the paragraph cannot be given a full preliminary scoring basis. The writer should have used a calculated response by indicating a measurement of his disagreement with the given opinion. The indication of the 2 reasoning subjects will be noted as the complete thesis statement for the essay and will be considered for additional points in the TA section.

The problem with the reasoning paragraphs is that it fails to take into account the point of view of the opposition that it should be disproving. Fir instiance, residential developments now have community living spaces that have parks and shopping centers which are open to the public. So the reasoning of the writer becomes weak as it shows a lack of understanding of the evolving community structure across communities.

There is a lack of formatting compliance into he concluding summary. That should be divided into at least 2 sentence representations, which discuss the different reasons provided. it is supposed to be a reverse paraphrase of the first paragraph.

Undergraduate / A driven and dedicated person - UBC Personal Profile [2]

Try to present a well rounded personality in the essay. You can do that by separating the descriptions that each of the references make about you. Your parents can discuss your character as a child to them and sibling to your brothers and sisters (if any). Your friends, can describe who you are in 2 instances. The first, is as a peer and the second, is as a classmate. That way you can reference your personal and academic communities in the presentation. The way that you integrated your community membership into the discussion of what you are most proud of is an effective use of the character trait reference point. It is something that helps to further solidify your character as a person in the eyes of the reviewers. It is best to stick to one example as required by the presentation. Choose which situation you are most proud of and keep it in the essay. Remember that this is also a word limited response so you should not go beyond the word maximum since the online editor will cut the text off at the maximum word count.

Research Papers / The Severity of Climate Change and is it Opinion or Fact [2]

The Severity of Climate Change and is it Opinion or Fact

The title is not grammatically correct nor properly formatted as a title. You could probably try to say it instead as "The Severity of Cimate Change: Fact or Opinion?" Yes, I think that has a clearer topic presentation for the reader.

The thesis paragraph is a bit confusing to read. I am guessing that English is not your native language? Your writing comes across as being written by a beginner ESL, which is why your thought presentation in that section is difficult to follow. I think you need to hire a professional editor for your paper to help you create a more cohesive and coherent presentation.

The information you have presented in the research paper comes from valid sources, but are not well presented to the reader. Your thoughts and ideas are very compressed and lacking in proper discussion development. You need to edit the paper for thought clarity for the most part.

You are making over assumptions in this case. It would be better not to make such references because the reviewers will have a different idea for qualifiers than what you think they will be looking for. It is best to keep a low profile. Do not assume anything with regards to qualities and skills that are related to the masters course you are interested in.

My opinion is that you have a pretty solid motivation letter here.

The first paragraph is not really necessary in this essay and occupies the word count that could be used to offer more insightful information regarding your application along the lines actually required by the university. Start the essay at the 2nd paragraph instead. Since this is a word limited essay, you have to focus on smart and quick information delivery, eliminating word fillers and unnecessary transition references.

Hi, the focus of each essay is different so you cannot combine the information for each essay into 1. In this case, you should be writing a motivational letter for your application. Let me get down to reviewing that now.

This is an incorrect statement that has no basis in the original topic presentation. This created a prompt deviation that alters the basis of the overall discussion in relation to the original topic. This alteration will cause massive task accuracy point deductions because the essay has veered away from the original discussion foundation. If this is a personal opinion of the writer, then it should have been used to open the writer's opinion section of the first paragraph instead.

Part of the TA scoring consideration is the writer's ability to respond in a quick format to the provided questions. A summary of the salient discussion points that the writer's body of reasons paragraphs will be based upon.

Research Papers / Final Essay: Anti-LGBTQ Laws being instated (Research paper) [2]

I feel like the essay is too broad in terms of field of discussion. It has to be narrowed down to either a specific law or just 2 laws that you feel negatively affect the LGBTQ+ community the most. That would remove the vastness of the topic and allow you veer away from the vague and generalized discussion that is currently seen in the research paper. Basically, the paper lacks in terms of being an informative source due to the lack of proper discussion focus. That can only be fixed by reducing the discussion field to one that actually highlights the effect of the specific law/s that you feel are most anti LGBTQ+ rights. You are also confusing Healthcare rights with Gender Affirmative Surgery, which is a elective procedure. You could argue that Gender Affirmative Surgery is a Healthcare issue that directly affects the community since there are problems arising from its implementation. You should not automatically refer to it as a Healthcare issue since that is up for debate at this point.

You cannot reuse the same essay for your new application. This essay is still based on the reasons why you did not win the scholarship last year. I do not see any new information in the essay that would refer to how you have improved your skills, learning, and other factors, over the past year. You have to showed remarkable growth and improvement over time for the essay to work in your favor during this application cycle. You should be outlining your improvements and working your way towards a new presentation that would help the reviewer consider your application based upon new information and skills developed.Once you present an essay that contains a rehash of last year's information, you cannot expect to have a different result this time around.

Writing Feedback / Money was allocated to cell phones - writing task 1 (line chart) [2]

The report is over written at over 200 words. Bear in mind that you are going to be sharing the time allowance for this essay with your task 2 essay development. If you write too many words, over 200, in the task 1 essay, you could run out of time to properly develop your task 2 discussion. A long essay does not translate into a high quality essay. You are prone to making more mistakes in your writing that way. This can be clearly seen in the way that you did not accurately restate the essay image focus in the summary overview section. That is a paragraph that should have 2-3 sentences, representing a quick reference to the key points in the presentation. The paragraph is not properly summarized and therefore, will receive a lower than passing score and affect the possibility of you receiving a final passing score in the process.

Letters / Psychology Motivation Letter for Behavior Change Master Program [2]

While sustainability is not the primary focus of the program,

Since you already know that sustainability is not the main focus of the program, it stands to reason that your focus should only be minor in that field as well. Making it the main focus of your application will not help you gain admission. That is because the university is not keen on developing that aspect of their masters degree students theoretical and practical learning. Your letter should be aligned to the major focus instead. You may mention sustainability as your minor interest, mirroring their own level of interest in the program.

Your future plan could be more definite in terms of discussion. Try to make it more cohesive in the presentation while keeping in mind that this is not set in stone. You can still change your future plan later on. Just make it more united in this presentation for the purpose of your admission for now.

Writing Feedback / Traditions of their society - WRITING IELTS TASK 2 [4]

The essay will have a problem receiving a passing score for the TA section because the prompt restatement does not accurately reword the given topic based on suggested indicators. The writer chose to begin a discussion of his personal opinion in this paragraph while trying to restate the topic. This altered the topic focus and discussion points, leading to an inaccurate representation of the original. As such, the paragraph will receive a non passing preliminary score due to inaccuracies in the presentation. Failing to properly restate the prompt assures that the essay will not achieve a passing score, regardless of the discussion paragraph presentation.
