Writing Feedback / Teaching in group along with specialised education according to abilities [5]

A writer needs to keep in mind that the intro is often what a reader remembers best. Your intro should be the best part of your essay. If you could, state your own opinion in the introduction itself with a statement expressing your opinion very clearly. That helps you take the reader in your desired direction.

Scholarship / FINANCIAL AID APPEAL! University of Southern California [3]

I am ending my senior year with a 4.63 GPA and will be graduating as an Advanced Placement Scholar with Distinction with my AP diploma.

Avoid empty phrases like "I'm talented," "I'm very intelligent," "I'm a great writer/engineer/artist," or "I had the highest GPA in my department as an undergrad." Instead, show them your worth through your professional Statement of Purpose/ Motivation letter and application portfolio and let them decide if you are amazing enough to attend their institution. Should you attempt to explain how amazing you are, make sure that you justify it. Yet, you must remain humble. For example: "I believe that I have the confidence in myself to strive for the furthest goal.

Writing Feedback / compare and contrast your fashion style with that of someone you know [3]

Here is I found on the net that should be followed as an organizational structure for your compare and contrast essay;
Introduction
Presents the basic information about the subjects to be compared and contrasted
Provides a thesis argument and 3 points of comparison that will be elaborated in the body of your essay. Points of comparison are the smaller arguments that help you develop your main argument.

Body Paragraphs
This is the meat of your essay. Each different section or body paragraph should tackle a different division of proof. It should provide and analyze evidence in order to connect those proofs to your thesis and support your thesis. You have to decide whether you'll be organizing your essay with three body paragraphs (using point-by-point organization) or with two body paragraphs (using whole-to-whole comparison).

Acknowledgement of Competitive Arguments/Concession
This paragraph acknowledges that other counter-arguments exist, but remarks how those arguments are flawed.
Conclusion
Summary of the evidence presented
Restatement of the thesis

A key point: How and What to analyze the differences and/or the similarities of two distinct subjects are the purpose of a compare and contrast essay

Writing Feedback / IELTS: advertising impact on people's choice of consumption [4]

Nowdays, people's choice of consumption..

The above is too long and makes the reader tired of memorizing so many facts you have written there. Your intro should be the best part of your essay. This opening sentence needs to hook the reader. In other words, it should grab the readers attention towards your writing. Also, It is nicer to express your view on that before concluding your introduction. Those help you take the reader in your desired direction.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: problem of obesity and how to solve it; parents & school all have a role [4]

Let me give you a piece of advice :D
For the next essay, I suggest you to leave one space every time you open a new paragraph. Why? the first thing the examiner sees is your layout, which shows whole of your essay. If the layout is difficult to read, which is let's say: no spaces between paragraphs, then he/she immediately know your writing needs more work to read.

Not separating paragraphs. Your score will immediately drop if you do not separate paragraphs clearly. My advice: leave a full line between paragraphs.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL: Technology impact on children's creativity. [4]

.For example,it seems that children waste too much time playing video games ,which do harm to their eyes and make them lack real life interaction with others.

Conclusions are often the most difficult part of an essay to write, and many writers feel that they have nothing left to say after having written the paper. Remember, a clear and precise point of view also comes from a good concluding paragraph. You don't need to write details

Writing Feedback / college or university; Success or a good life in future through knowledge [4]

many social activities like taking part in music club, going volunteers which are great opportunities to make new friends

These reasons are too weak to answer the prompt:

Why do you think people attend college or university?

You should have a specific example per paragraph to make your idea more lively.

The best advice is to have 4 paragraphs for your essay that includes the introduction, the (two arguments between) bodies and the conclusion.

Writing Feedback / IELTS-GT (task2): Working Extended hours should restricted. (Agree/Disagree) [5]

Well, you'd better rewrite this expression. What I see is that many students think the memorization of a well-known phrase or saying is much more acceptable. As a result, they use it every time when they write. And to tell you the truth it doesn't impress the examiner at all. You may get penalised.
