Writing Feedback / GRE issue:instead of requiring students to take courses in a varied of disciplines... [3]

Hi,
The vocabulary, grammar and organization of the essay were good and I really liked your essay. But, you should be careful about prepositions that I have pointed out some of them below. Moreover, U should not use contractions such as "can't", "hasn't", etc in writing, try to writ the words in the complete form. I hope the comments be helpful.

..gatherget together to talk,
..can'tcannot (do not use contractions) achieve profound insight ofinto the object of study
A zoologist, for instance, once learned a ..
In china, theirthe students' professions are decided (or determine. I think this word is more appropriate in this context) by their parents who actually cares moreemphasis onabout theirthe amount of money that their children can earn from a job rather thanwages of future job instead of their interest,

Getting bored and attracted byto the games
Therefore, after entering into the universities, variousmany students find the disciplinesisn'tare not to their taste
I think the forth paragraph is not related to the topic. At least I could not find a connection??The topic ask about the need of students for an extensive range of courses not the things that provide happiness.

Good luck
Ahmad

Essays / how do I start writing my essay on noisy and silent art, opening sentence? [4]

Hi, like other articles or essays you need to start with an introduction. I always start an introduction with a definition . You can define the concepts of "noise" and "silence" arts. Even you can explain the history of these types of arts in the introduction.

At the second part of the discussion you need to give information about various differences of these art practices (allocate one paragraph or page for each difference). Open each paragraph or page with a thesis to show you are going to argue about which aspect of the subject.

Finally, In another part of the study you should compare these stated differences and find a connection among them to reveal the role of silence and noise art practices in the new artistic works. Support what you claim by examples and new works at which these elements have been employed for creating a novel artistic work.

If this is an essay you should writ a conclusion, but if this is an article or paper you need a separate part with the title of "Summary" or "Conclusions". In this section you should briefly restate the most important parts of the discussion and come to a conclusion about the subject.

I hope this helps,
Regards
Ahmad

Research Papers / Help with a monograph on chat rooms among Moroccan youth [2]

Hi, In my opinion you can also discuss about the positive and negative effects of chat rooms on children's social behavior. In addition, the influence of chat rooms on religious beliefs and cultural values can also be other crucial issues. The internet and chat rooms could give a chance to people to know more about various cultures that may change the attitude of individuals, especially young ones, toward various facets of life.

Writing Feedback / Children can handle school and work simultaneously, but that can lead to some health problems. [3]

Hi,
This essay consists of 185 words which is too short. This causes it loses mark (It cannot get more than 5 out of 9). Unfortunately, the organization of the essay wasn't good. You should also work on grammar and vocabulary. I have done some corrections below that I hope these comments be useful:

(U should start the first paragraph by a "thesis or motivator", then describe two different viewpoints that have been mentioned in the topic) Nowadays, children are involved in paid jobs that brings negative views from adults. Some believe that if children start working early age thay gain experience and more responsible fr they life (each introduction must have a sentence that links the introduction to body. This sentence is called "blueprint". For more information I strongly recommend u to search for "blueprint") .

In modern societyies children start working from school age in order to support themselves financially and get experience. This certi anly brings benefits to children and theyir parents.hH owever there are several negative impacts of children getting engaged in paid jobs(do not copy the topic) .

Nowadays children at school are very stresses withthe stress level of children at schools is too high because of many stressful issues such as busy timetables or new subject at school. if children carry outtackle school and job at the same time this might lead to poornegatively affect on their perfor mance at schools . Moreover some children might become keen of making money that they might be ready to do anything to make more money. In some cases they can even drop out school and join criminal groups (each paragraph needs a conclusion. Try to consider this improtant comment) .

Futhermore children can handle school and work simultaneously. They may get tired a lot physically and mentally that can lead to some health problems (First of all this paragraph is too short with poor supports. Secondly, the second sentence is in variance with the first one. I could not understand the main idea of this paragraph. It was really confusing) .

To sum up if children start working from adult age when they have batter understanding about life and they can handle their work (in conclusion you should restate the introduction and then give your idea, and finally finish it by a sentence called "clincher") .

Writing Feedback / WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF BEING FAMOUS? [2]

As a resulIn conclusion t, whilealthough it is true to say that famous people live a great life, I prefer to be an anonymous person because the benefits of being an ordinary person outweigh the disadvantages of being a rich and famous one .

U should consider that each paragraph has three main parts : 1)thesis, 2)body (supports), and 3) conclusion. Almost all the paragraphs of the essay have no conclusions. Secondly you should be careful about structure of the essay. Do not make a new paragraph in the situations that it is not necessary. Writ advantages in one paragraph, and disadvantages in another one. Final point is that you must use more and stronger words. In fact, lexical resource is one of the most important criteria for scoring an essay.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Essay about Immigration and adapting the local laws [3]

Hi, I just glanced over the essay. I think there are two main points that you should consider:
1) At the second paragraph you did not completely explain why people should adopt to a local culture (the first viewpoint of the topic which must be discussed). You should add some more details in this concern.

2) Writing the third paragraph of the body: This topic is a discussion between two viewpoints. So, after arguing these opinions in two separate paragraphs, in the third one you should compare them and give your own idea . In fact, the topic asked u to "Discuss these two views and give your opinion. ". You did not expand your own idea in the essay.

In such topics you should organize your essay as follows:
Introduction
Body: 1) first viewpoint; 2) Second viewpoint; 3) Your opinion
Conclusion(reword the introduction)


Best Regards

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Difference between social behavior of children and adults. [5]

Please, please, help me to recognize my mistakes I am taking an IELTS test on 12th May.

Topic: As children become adults, their social behavior changes in some ways.
What are the main difference between young children's social behavior and that of adults? To what extent are the changes that take place good?


There are many elements that influence the social behavior of people during their lives. This is what sociologists call "socialization process". Therefore, it is clear that behavior of children can be different from adults stemming from the factors such as peer groups, schooling, and the like. This fact provides the questions that "in what ways social behavior of adults and children is different?" and "how the changes in children's lives can steer them toward a good situation?".

As time passes, each person experiences new things that changes his/her social manner. The difference between children and adults social behavior can be classified to two main categories. Firs of all, children are more sincere in their relationships. As a result, making friend is easy for them, while the revers is true for adults. In fact, the diversification of adults' behavior is more than than of children. For this reason, it is hard for adults to find a person that his/her behavior be close to themselves. Secondly, financial issue is another important factor that must be considered in this concern. This issue can significantly impact the social behavior of adults, whereas, it plays less important role in children's lives. In other words, economical circumstances of adults confer a social standing on them which directly affect their social behavior. By contrary, what plays a vital role in social life of children is emotional bonds between them and their friends and families. Consequently, the significant differences between children and adults social behavior can be attributed to psychological and economical reasons.

Nevertheless, some changes in social manner of children can be useful. For example, it is not appropriate to trust all people, what is prevalent among children. In fact, children learn which person is viewed as a good person as they interact with various people through time. Moreover, increase in children's experience while they are growing up prepare them for diverse conditions in their future lives, ranging from harsh situations to their future civic roles. Thus, changes in behavior of children during the flow of life can positively impact their lives in the future.

To sum up, as people grow up many social agents affect their social behavior. It is believed that some of these changes are suitable. From my perspective, however, adults should maintain some of their childhood behavior such as honesty. If individuals have this attitude toward the life, the world will be better place for living.

Writing Feedback / 'The exploration and development of safe alternative to fossile fuels' -My IELTS [10]

I really need your help, because I am going to take a IETS test within 5 days.

Topic: The exploration and development of safe alternative to fossile fuels sould be the most important global priority today. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Today the subject of global warming, as a result of high demands on fossil fuels, has become an imperative issue worldwide. For this, many people and governments think that replacing these types of fuels by clean energy resources must be viewed as the most important concern in the world. In my own opinion, this matter is undoubtedly one of the most crucial problems in these days since it can impact our lives in various facets which will be discussed in this essay.

To believe or not, oil resources are not permanent and will be finished sooner or latter. As a result, authorities should consider this fact as a warning for the future. If no replacing energy to be provided, people will encounter a disaster in the future. In this circumstance people cannot use any car, industries will hurt, and many other difficulties may be created. Therefore, new fuels can guarantee the needs of individuals for energy in the distant future.

The second significant fact is negative effects of fossil fuels on the environment. Increase in the green house gases (e.g., CO2 and CO) which derive from from these fuels not only jeopardize the health of individuals, but also it may change the weather conditions, rise up the sea levels- which can destroy many living areas- and in general it makes the world as an unlivable place.

Furthermore, creating renewable energy resources can be accompanied by many financial profits for countries. The use of solar cells for controlling sun's energy or the use of wind power for producing electricity are the ways that are dramatically cheaper than fossil fuels. Thus, if fossil fuels to be replaced the governments' expenditure will decline and they can save their countries' incomes for other purposes such as promotion of educational standards, eradication of poverty, and the like.

However, some people think that there are other important things in the world which must be considered as worldwide priority such as various wars in the world, and unhealable diseases like AIDS. I believe, though, these issues are important but not as much as the significance of producing new energy sources in basis of what was mentioned above.

To sum up, these days introducing new types of fuels and decreasing the use of fossil fuels has become a very important problem so that some believe that it ought to be considered as an imperative all around the world. In my perspective, this can affect the next generations' lives in various aspects, and if is done nothing, the life in the world will become impossible.

Writing Feedback / People at work; job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing [5]

Hi, The question has two parts: As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual well being.

What factors contribute to job satisfaction?How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?
The essay is good, your vocabulary and grammar is ok . But, I think you did not answer to the questions that are asked in the topic. For the first part, u should mainly focus on the elements that affect the job satisfaction. In fact the question is, what can be done in the workplaces to employees and workers feel satisfaction and happiness?. I believe there are several factors that must be considered: 1) workload should be appropriate, 2) reduction in the stress level, especially for the managerial works that have the highest level of anxiety, 3) It is shown that observation of correct place of hierarchy contribute to satisfaction, 4) improving the appropriateness of work responsibilities with respect to non-wok needs, 5)job security, 6) salary and income of workers is another factor that impact job satisfaction.

At the second part of the topic it is asked that "how realistic is ..", In fact, it is asked "is it possible to expect job satisfaction for all workers and employees with different levels?" In my opinion it is too difficult and complicated because each work has its own needs and increase in the workers' satisfaction requires the structure of work place to be changed. For this purpose, authorities should spend more money and time. Since the most imperative thing for employers is benefit, not their employees satisfaction, this policy would no be seemed practical.

Conclusion is also too short, and in conclusion u should reword the first paragraph.
I hope that the comments be useful

Essays / Writing a paper about violence,death and fear in Disney movies - ideas? [4]

Hi, I think existence the concepts such as fear, and death are a part of all people's lives, even children. Thus, I think these concepts can sometimes be educative and teach children about the dark sides of the world. If directors of animations just focus on the fantastic issues it may have several negative aspects. In fact, this can separate youth from real life, they should prepare for the facts, including death and violence.

Essays / Starting an essay on too much attention to the personal lives of famous people [4]

Hi, Here are some suggestions:
Introduction: Start with the role of media, for example: We live in a world that is relatively affected by medium which have changed the contemporary century to the communication one. Many people, nowadays, view medium such as newspaper, TV, and the like as the tools for distributing the news. Some individuals think that the main part of these news are allocated to the personal lives of famous people such as actors and actress, politicians, etc. In my own opinion, the lives of these types of people are newsworthy and it is reasonable that medium concentrate on their lives. The question is "how the well-know people's lives are attractive for medium?".

Body:1) famous people are always function as a model for individuals of a society. For this, their behavior are more important for people.
2) Sense of curiosity is another factor. Many people like to gain some information about individuals who are different from others.
3) The third reason is that the famous people's lives are interesting because they are usually well-off and it is important for ordinary people to know how they obtain their wealth and for what purposes they spend it on. In fact, money is the main elements that draws attention of all people, which it can be found in the lives of celebrities, actors/actress, sports professionals, etc.


4) You can also writ a paragraph in the body for opposite opinion. For example, you can say that recent events in the world such as various wars, have changed this attitude of medium toward the news and they try to show the role of their countries in such events. In fact, the political issues are going to replace the subjects like personal life of famous people

conclusion:Reword the introduction

Writing Feedback / Both - the traditional and the international music brings people together. [3]

Hi,,
1) "could" is the past tens of "can". This is the first different. In your essay you was talking about facts in present tens that I thought it would be better to be changed all "could" to "can"

2) However, in some context u can use "could" in different ways. One of them is for suggesting. For example: We could go cinema or park for today's afternoon (U are suggesting that you have several choices for spending your spare time).

3) Sometimes it is used in the second type of conditional sentences. In this type of sentences you imagine a thing to happen (it is not a fact).

Writing Feedback / Discussion essay about the effect of tourism over culture [5]

Hi, first of all what I said was just suggestion. 1) if u want to use present perfect you should change the tens of previous sentence too. The first one is present continuous and the second one is present perfect. This is because of the word "as" at the beginning. When you use "as" it means that two thing is happening as the same time and parallel.

3) I agree with you about this. Sorry for my mistake.

Essays / How to write an ethnocentrism paper / The Evil Among Us -- Something you witnessed or learned about [20]

Hi, I really glad that I saw your post, because your post made me to search about this interesting social subject.The definition, difficulties and the solutions for this social problem may be helpful for writing a paper:

Definition:
You can start with a definition about this topic. You can find an appropriate definition in wikipedia. Here is a definition:"Ethnocentrism is judging another culture solely by the values and standards of one's own culture"

Problems:
Then talk about its negative effects: For example its influences on communication and interaction of people from various countries and different cultures. This phenomenon may ruin the relationship between countries. Therefore, the economical, political, and social relationships among these countries will be jeopardized.

Solutions:
The main way for eradication of this problem is that people increase their awareness about other countries and cultures. There are some ways to reach this goal that I have listed them as follow:

1) There is paper entitled " Reducing Education Students' Ethnocentrism: Difficulties and Possible Solutions" that show multicultural education can help student to control their ethnocentric attitudes.

2) The main root of this problem stems from lake of awareness of one about other cultures. Therefore, media can play a vital role for improve the level of people's consciousness about other cultures, and religions.

3) For recognizing other cultures reading foreign books and newspapers may also be helpful and can be a way for overcoming ethnocentrism
4) Make friends. Friendship cuts through a lot of misconceptions simply because we see them as individuals rather than as collections of traits. An easy way to cultivate friends of different viewpoints is to volunteer for or join cultural clubs. For example, a Persian Club at a local university will have Iranian members while a Latino Business Association can consist of Mexicans.

5) Traveling to other countries
6) the use of Internet for learning more about other societies and their traditions

Writing Feedback / Discussion essay about the effect of tourism over culture [5]

This conclusion is similar to what you said about previous paragraph. You can say:"As a result, the negative effects of tourism on environment, and economy of a local individuals can be viewed as the reasons why a group of people have negative attitude toward the development of tourist industry

Any way, this paragraph would be better to rewrite because it does not encompass what the topic has asked
By way of conclusion, it is probably difficult to decide whether tourism brings more positive or negative impacts (use synonym: influences, effects)overon culture issue. From what has been discussed above, I think that with the effort of government, the benefits of tourism can outweigh all those negative impacts(use synonym) .

Writing Feedback / 'Music is a great way of communication' - my essay [6]

Hi, I have some ideas about the topic, I hope these hints be helpful

Why music is important: 1) These days music is a way for teaching. for example, it is used for improving the vocabulary of English learners. In fact the rhythm helps the learners to memorize various intricate words more easily.

2) Music is a part of art. Therefore. artistic aspects of the music is also important.
3) Music of a specific part of the world can introduce the cultural and social values of that area, because music of each country stems from the history, and culture of that country.

4) Music has several positive effects on people's mental states.
Which one is more important : traditional music or international ones: This depends on the people's attitudes toward music. Some believe that traditional musics are a part of their cultural identity and should maintained. In the view of these people traditional music and folk musics are more important than the international ones. Some other, however, think that the modern musics are more popular and must be paid more attention. In fact, the majority of these individuals are young adults and this can be a reason why they think in this way. The second reason is attributed to the effects that the international musics can have on the financial circumstances of a society. The high popularity of these types of music such as Rock, Rap, Pop, and the like, may cause many people spend their money on them and this can provide a good opportunity for development of different music companies. This phenomenon not only can increase the job opportunities in a country, but also it may improve the economy of the county.

Finally, you can compare the advantages of traditional and international musics to show which one is more imperative.

Writing Feedback / IELTS topic: Increase in retiring age-agree or disagree [6]

This my new essay, please help me to improve it.
Topic: Some say that because people are living much longer, the age at wich people retire from work should be raised considerably. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

In the ancient era people who aged over 40 were considered as elderly. However, as time passed, many promotions were provided in the various aspects, such as medical advancement and improvement of life standards, that made the average age of individuals longer. Some believe this phenomenon-increase the average age- must be viewed as a factor for determination of the age of retirement. They think that the age at which individuals retire should increase as the average age rises up. From my perspective, this work policy may have several negative effects on health, and other factors such as work conditions should also be considered.

Increase in the retiring age with respect to the average age of workforces may look reasonable. In fact, as the average age grows up, the years through which employees and workers can be useful on their occupations can rise up. As a result, companies and employers do not need to hire new workforces and they can use their experienced workers for a longer period of time.

However, I think, there are several other issues that must be viewed in this concern. Workload and work circumstances are the imperative elements that should be considered for detaining the age of retirement. The workers with high workloads, and those who work in the poisonous and stressful atmospheres ought to retire from work in earlier ages.

With regard to the issue concerning retiring age, mental health can also play an important role. Increase in the retiring age may negatively impact the people's mental states. In other words, all individuals require an opportunity to get rest and allocate their time for various exhilarating activities such as traveling. This work strategy causes people not being able to have chance for doing these types of activities.

Finally, increase the age of retirement can decline the job vacancies for younger adults. In fact, all the vacancies would be occupied by old workforce, and just rare opportunities would be available for youth.

In conclusion, a group of people think that the retiring age of people ought to rise due to increase in the average age of people. This policy may have several negative influences that may jeopardize the health of people and reduce the job opportunities for young individuals, even though it has some benefits for companies, employers, and other economical establishments. The stated negative aspects ought-weight its positive ones and, consequently, it should not be conducted in any country.

Writing Feedback / IELTS task2: Sould government allocate more budget to some special subjects? [3]

Hi guys, I would be grateful to know your ideas about my essay. Your comments on my previous essays were really helpful.
Topic: Modern societies need specialists in certain fields, but not in others. Some people therefore think that governments should pay universities fees for students who study subjects that are needed by society. Those who choose to study less relevant subjects should mot receive government funding. Would the advantages of such an educational policy outweight the disadvantages?

The advancement of technologies, sciences and educational systems have caused an extensive range of subjects to be created in relative to different needs of modern societies. However, it is believed that a group of majors are more required as compared to others. As a result, governments should allocate higher budget to these types of subjects. This opinion may have several positive and negative aspects which will be argued in this essay.

Restriction of government's expenditures to a narrow range of subjects in universities- that are considered as the most popular and important ones in a country- can have two main positive effects. First of all, with decrease in budget of less imperative majors, governments can save more money. This saved money can be spent on other difficulties such as eradication of poverty in societies. Secondly, if funding for important fields of study like engineering to be increased, facilities and educational standards would be driven up. Therefore, students' skills may be improved and these individuals can be more effective in a country as they occupy different job vacancies in the future.

However, this attitude toward government funding may accompany by disappearance of some subjects that are not essential apparently. Social sciences,for instance, may be viewed as less important than engineering because they do not impact the technology and economical aspects of a country. But, these kinds of sciences are necessary for recognizing the roots of societal issues. Moreover, this policy can draw attention of more students to the subjects that obtain more fees.Thus, many students ignore their interests just for using the higher funding. In addition, these days all sciences are relate to each others and this is what known as "interdisciplinary concept". In fact, nowadays it is too hard to distinct various subjects and classify them as more and less important ones. Consequently, with execution of the view which was mentioned above, one part of a science may improve, whereas other related subjects cannot have an opportunity for progressing.

According to what was discussed above, the downsides of this educational policy are more than its advantages. From my perspective, all majors are imperative in a specific way and all of them must be ameliorated for promotion of societies.

In summary, some say government funding would not evenly distribute through different subjects. They think those that are more effective should be given more fund. However, this idea is followed by several negative facets that make it harmful for a society.

Writing Feedback / Some people prefer to live in a house, while others feel better in apartment [2]

Hi, in general your essay looks good. I have some suggestions that I mentioned them as follow:
With the advancement of science and technology, there is a vast improvement in the structural and architectural engineering hes been achieved/obtained . In the modern world, we could see the people staying in independent houses as well as in the apartments based on their necessityies , comfort and social needs.

Firstly, security is one of the primary concerns (you can use imperative ) of the people. In the houses, features like security, sanitation provisions, gardening, taking care of any other requirements will be whole responsibility of thea house owner. Whereas, apartments are built for a group of families, who can stay in flat and form a community. They themselves will establish a small body which governs the community by taking care of providing all the provisions required like security guard, employing the workers to keep the apartment clean and neat, taking care of water facilities, sanitation, providing escalators, parking slots, etc. This provides lot of scope, thereby distributing the work among the respective families.

The structure of the essay is a little confusing. It would be better to talk about positive and negative aspects of house in a paragraph, and then talk about advantages and disadvantages of apartments in another paragraph. Finally u could compare these advantages and disadvantages in the separate paragraph to show which one is better.(all these are just suggestions)

Best regards

Writing Feedback / Ielts- who have the greatest influence on the world [3]

Hi, Thank you for your helpful comments on my essay. I think your essay is well organized and your vocabulary range is also good. But there are some hints that I mentioned as follows: (indeed these comments are just suggestions, I hope the hints be useful)

It is undeniable that our world is being changeding at an exponential rate. However,people hold distinctive opinions about who affects this phenomemon mostly. (It wouhld be better to mention the people's attitude toward effects of scientists and politicians. In this way you can specifically state what is the main idea of the essay. In addition, each essay needs a blue print. blue print is a sentence that connect the introduction to body. This can be a sentence like this: "These viewpoints will be argued in this essay")

77
Some people believe that politici ans play the most paramount role in this case (I think the use of "in this concern" or "in this respect" is more appropriate" . This mainly because they are the person(this is singular word and u cannot use it after "they are", u can change it by "individuals") who set the vision of a country (or you can use public opinion) and launch related policies affecting a nation's future. For example, Araham Lincoln,the former President of US, unified United States and set it on the course to become the most powerful nation.Without this man, the US would probably has never dominated (The US probably would not be a superpower to dominate/control ...) the world for decades,which would make the world today(today's world) dramatically different.

Nevertheless, there are many people questioning this statement and they claim that scientists have the biggest impact on the world. Scientific achievements can promote the world's development. For instance,given that long-distance transportation tools have made it possible for products to be transported between countries beyond boundaries,international trade has been promoted(use a wide range of vocabulary such as "ameliorate", "improve", "expand") ,which drivedthe economic growth globally(which has driven up the global economy) . Meanwhile,science is also a negative force to the world.It is an abundance of green house gases emitted by vehicles and refrigerators that contributes to the global warming. Due to the temperature increase,many species of flora and fauna have become extinct.

In my opinion, there is no major influence on the world .Instead, the visions made by politicians and scientists' innovations are constantly (continuously) interacting. It is thea reciprocal impact of the two that shapes the world's characteristics and dictates how the world will develop.If this were not true, then we would be able to predict the future world merely based on politicians' decisions.

As a conclusion,I believe,neither politicians nor scientists is the major influence on our society,but that both have powerful effects.

Writing Feedback / IELTS topic- reduction in traffic jam by decrease in travel from home to other areas [3]

Hi guys, I prepared an essay with a topic which has been written below. I was wondering if you would mind reviewing it for me and I welcome your ideas.

The only way to reduce the amount of traffic in cities today is by reducing the need for people to travel from home for work, educatin or shopping. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

These days the size and population of cities are haphazardly growing up and, therefore, many big cities may encounter various problems, including traffic jam. As a result, authorities are seeking for a way to decline this problem. Some say, one effective solution for reducing level of traffic is decrease in travels from home to different parts of a city such as universities, shopping centers, etc. For my perspective, though, this is not an appropriate way since it has negative effects on economy of a city. These viewpoints will be argued in this essay and the possibility of them will be considered.

A group of people believe that reduction in traffic in a city is not achievable unless structure of that city to be changed. They think today's cities have an important problem called "zoning". Zoning is applied to a condition in which various parts of cities such as hospitals, universities, shopping malls, and the like, are located in the distinct areas. Consequently, individuals have to travel from their home to different districts for diverse purposes. One solution is distribution of these parts in all cities' areas. In this circumstance people do not require to leave their neighborhood for shopping, or working. In fact, this strategy needs to structure of a city considerably change.

Some others, however, think that this solution is not possible in practice. In other words, what was stated above requires a new city to be built, and it is not an economical way. In fact,there are other solutions which are viewed as cheaper ways. First one is evolution of public transportation systems. It is shown that one of the most important reasons why traffic jam increases in big cities is individual transportation growth. Another way can be a reduction in the rate of immigration from one city to a bigger city. Many believe that immigration is the main factor which creates overpopulated cities with high level of traffic. With regard to the issue concerning decline in immigration rate and, therefore, traffic jam, governments should allocate more budget for ameliorating life quality in all cities of their countries. Thus, public transportation and immigration can be considered as more imperative elements with respect to traffic reducing.

In my view, the role of financial difficulties for reducing the number of travels in a city is hard to ignore. This strategy is followed by producing new infrastructural constructions which needs great budgets.This difficulty is enough to make this opinion unpractical. However, I think the second viewpoint which was mentioned above is more reasonable and many counties are considering it.

To sum up, it is thought that if structures of cities to be changed in a way through which people's need for traveling throughout the cities decrease, the traffic jam problem in metropolises would be eradicated. While, financial problems are the main obstacles against this attitude that make it impossible in action.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Topic: Win a sport competition is everything ? [2]

Hi, in general the essay looks fine,. Here some suggestions:
"the discussion about the purpose of playing the (delete this) sports activities has become a controversy "" Controversy is noun, but in this sentence u need an adj. "..has become a controversial topic".

"..the (delete this) a championship"
".. the (delete) winners .
"..they are encountering a series of life challenges in the future." : The tense of this sentence is future, so you cannot use present continuous. In addition you are talking about the events that may happen and you are assuming, so it would be better to use "...would encounter ..." or "may encounter..."

"There is no denying that sports challengers have to bear harsh conditions and pressure in those sports presentation in order to become a distinctive talent" : I could not find a relation between this sentence and the previous one, I think it is ruined the coherency of the essay. It would be better separate this sentence with "secondly" and for the next sentence use "finally".

The last part of the topic asks bout your opinion. You did not expand your own idea, you should write a paragraph for your opinion and, through this paragraph a comparison between previous ideas , that were stated, should be provided.

Regards

Writing Feedback / IELTS topic: Your view of "Pen and Paper" Examination [7]

Hi guys, I have done this topic too. I would like to share it to know your opinion. I know that my essay is long, but i could manage my time and complete it in 40 minutes.

For better or worse, we live in a world that is relatively surrounded by various educational systems. However, in all these academic atmospheres there are narrow range of evaluation methods, among which "pen and paper" examination is the most commonly used. Nowadays, some people come to a conclusion that this type of examination cannot be a suitable way for steering students toward success and cannot be a good criterion for identifying their abilities. For my perspective, "pen and paper" examination should be viewed as an effective ways for students evaluation. Different aspects of this kind of exam will be discussed in this essay.

A group of people believe that the traditional examination technique (paper tests) has several weak-points which make it as an inappropriate way for assessing students. First of all, this type of test is free of any kinds of creativity. In fact, students with different level of intelligence cannot show their capabilities in this condition. Secondly, dominance of high anxiety over the atmosphere of a paper exam can be another downside which students fail to represent what they really know. Finally, it is shown that "pen and paper" tests function as motivations suppressive. In other word, this kind of examination is too tiring with no cheerful atmosphere which ignore students' interests. For this, many individuals think other techniques for evaluating students such as hand in a term paper, not only familiarize pupils with an extensive information about a specific subject, but also these methods are helpful for assessing students and driving up schools standards.

For my view, however, the role of paper tests on the educational prosperity is hard to ignore. This method helps students to control their stress level and focus on what they have studied even in hard circumstances. They also learn how to manage their time and how convey their messages in the short sentences in the form of key words and information. Nevertheless, I think other methods such as researches, presentations, teamwork activities, and the like, should also be considered. Such evaluating ways teach students to ameliorate their abilities for presenting a seminar and rise their confidence level. Furthermore, researching in different facets shows how students must gather information about a topic and how prepare a research account. As a result, all these techniques beside paper tests ought to consider to students obtain the highest level of success.

To sum up, some say that the old fashion "paper tests" cannot guarantee the prosperity of students. However, there are several positive aspects in this type of exam that make it one of the most effective assessing ways.

Writing Feedback / IETLS-the only way to protect the environment is at an international level [7]

Hi again, this conclusion has several problems. First of all, you used "however" and "also" sequentially, that makes the sentence unclear. You tried to complete the conclusion just in one sentence. It is better to explain about two sides of the discussion, and then finish the essay by a clincher which can be a "suggestion", "a prediction", "a question". In my idea, u can write a conclusion like this (just a suggestion): "To sum up, it is believed that for eradication of environmental difficulties all across the world not only countries should work together, but also each country or a person can play an important role in this concern. However, international activities are more effective, and if don nothing with regard to this problem at this level, the lives of next generations will be jeopardized".

The last sentence is a prediction about the future that I usually use for ending essays.

Writing Feedback / IETLS-the only way to protect the environment is at an international level [7]

Hi, your essay is well organized and the range of vocabulary was good. In my view, however, your conclusion is not appropriate. First of all, it is too short. Secondly, in conclusion you should reword the first paragraph, and at the end finish it by a sentence which show the essay is finished (this sentence is called "clincher"). In fact, what you write as conclusion is a clincher, but you did not paraphrase the first paragraph.

Research Papers / Doing my reseach paper on "Why is Capital Punishment Wrong" [6]

Hello again, I forgot to writ this suggestion. it may helpful,
suggestion: In some cases this penalty is a way for committing suicide. Around 1980 an article was published with the title of "attempting suicide by homicide " that reported a case through which a man killed his neighbor with intent to sentence to death. When it was asked him that what was your motivation for the kill, he replied: " I am tired of living."

I hope these comment be useful.

Research Papers / Doing my reseach paper on "Why is Capital Punishment Wrong" [6]

Hi, you can start in this way: " Ethical, cultural and social norms are central to the controversy over death penalty. All these elements significantly impact people's attitude toward this type of punishment and, therefore, make it as an acceptable or unacceptable issue in different societies. For my perspective, it cannot be a deterrent to murder because of .... reasons even though capital penalty is still executing in some countries.

Writing Feedback / 'Making cement, limestone and clay' - the IELTS Exam [5]

Hi, Your essay is quite good. I have several suggestion with regard to your essay that have been written as follow:
First of all, do not use the terms "the figures below", "it can be seen" and the like, because an examiner has not the pictures as reviewing your work. You can start the essay by the phrases like " the figures provide information", "the illustration shows..", "the figures indicate.." etc.

"to become powder ..": suggestion:" A crusher is used for grinding the materials into fine powders"
"goes into a mixer after that " : suggestion: "goes into a mixer thereafter "
"Next, the mixture goes into a rotating heater...": you used "goes into" for several times. it is not appropriate. It would be more effective if it is rewritten as this sentence: " at the next step, a rotating heater is employed in order to ..."

"..which we combine 15% of cement,": never use "we" , "I", etc in the essay. You must use passive sentences.
"materials are in a concrete mixer mixing..." : two "mix" were used sequentially which is not rational. It would be better to say : " All stated materials are mixed for a certain time in a concrete mixer ..."
