Writing Feedback / IELTS essay - why adults decide to study; shared cost of each course [6]

Hope this can cover the data presented in the bar chart:
A subject's preference breaks a record as the highest percentage. Gaining qualification, this shows 22 percent of participants. However, there seems a slight gap between the opportunity for changing the job and meeting people, with twelve and 9 percent of participants.

Writing Feedback / The contribution of three different sectors to the UK economy; 'agriculture 50%' [8]

In the beginning of the twentieth century, the highest percentage of contribution belonged to agriculture at about 50%, closely followed by manufacturing sector with a little difference. The figure of business and financial sector had a tough position in the first decade of the age, at less than five percents.

Is this you mean?
Agriculture sectors broke a record as the highest percentage of selected contribution, followed by manufacturing coming as second in the first-decade period. The business and financial sectors showed a reserve.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: International Graduations of Canadian Colleges; New Brunswick highest % [4]

In para 2, I see you emphasized these areas:

New Brunswick

and

Ontario

In para 3, you too wrote these:

New Brunswick

and

Alberta

Let me give a few edits from those areas mentioned:
The province of New Brunswick was of the highest international graduates, but Ontario in 2001 and Alberta in 2006 were the lowest of all. Likewise, the university graduates were those who studied in New Brunswick province, which made up a sizeable proportion.

The sentence I write can be put anywhere as to how the key trends could be improved, called a succinct explanation.

Writing Feedback / IELTS : Contacting nowadays seems to be not a difficulty anymore; technology [9]

To sum up, as we can see everthing has 2 faces : coins have 2 sides and also technologies have pros and cons. It depends on how people use and also its qualities, facilities.

Let me give a few edits:
Given this evidence, we have discussed the pros and cons of technologies. However, people are free to express their preferences through the use of technology.

everthing has 2 faces : coins have 2 sides

This is verbose. Better omit. If you think that you need to have Strong Writing, more succinctly !!!

Writing Feedback / Number of visits to two new music sites on the web - 180,000 / 80,000 [4]

You DO know no pictures here :(

Your sentence:
In general, it can be seen from the graph that many people are doing to go to new places for hearing new music during fifteen day.

Comments:
I fully well know how you were using "In general, it can be seen from the graph that" but it actually is not strong writing. It is verbose. If you think that you need to have Strong Writing , more succinctly !!!

Writing Feedback / IELTS Task 1: Underground railway systems; 'London has been the oldest' [6]

Overall, your writing is good, but you still need more work for these points:
1. Introduction: you have a table with five columns showing information related to the data. Being asked to write an introduction, you can paraphrase the heading words in the columns.

2. An overview: You should find the correlation amongst the features. The easiest way is to juxtapose the big and small numbers, and the cities. Comparing and contrasting skills are needed here.

With regard to this topic, MisterWandering has written the very impressive visual writing. Here is the link: https://essayforum.com/writing/underground-railway-systems-field-opening-date-50751/. Please read more closely. Try to understand how the comparison and contrast are used. If you could, then you better rewrite yours.

On the other hand,

Writing Feedback / IELTSTASK1:illiteracy rates by region and by gender; 2%, 12% and 20% rate [2]

Hi Ernhy, I have studied this sample.

I see you can write many words to describe this bar chart. You, however, are failed to describe this with a succinct explanation.

Developed Countries, Latin America, and East Java with rates of approximately 1%, 10%, and 8%.
Sub-Saharan Africa, Arab States, and South Asia had rates of approximately 31%, 29%, and 34%.
Developed Countries, Latin America/Caribbean and East Asia/Oceania with rates of approximately 2%, 12% and 20%.
Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab States and South Asia had rates of approximately 48%, 52% and 56%.


Those sentences are called 'shopping list', by listing obvious figures one after another. The best way is to compare and contrast the key trends. This shows more professional writing than does the previous style.

there are some drawbacks about this issue. Scientists believe that one day people will face their developments, for instance robots, and they will not succeed to control them. All this inventions will try to take control of the Earth.

Loosening people's hold on the latest inventions is one drawback to technology. One example is robots. Scientists predict that one day people must save from intelligent robots taking no limited judgement in the world.

Writing Feedback / Money is a major source of satisfaction while searching for a job [4]

The first thing the reader 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 knows your writing needs more work to read.

Given this evidence, it can be seen that ...

firstly,

Secondly,

When you write firstly, secondly, lastly to mention supporting points , I am afraid that you are overusing the linking devices. I think the better way is to avoid using lots of the connective words. If you think that you need to earn coherence and cohesion, pay particular attention to demonstrate cohesion.

A helpful tip before taking the exam:
When you deal with IELTS, the first thing the assessor 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 knows your writing needs more work to read.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Under British and Australian laws a jury in a criminal case has no access [8]

if witnesses give strongly and unarguable evidence that the culprit is guilty, and the jury has an access to the defendant's information, which says that the guy is homeless or robber, they are capable to make wrong decision. Some of the witnesses give a wrong evidence that the criminal is dangerous because they were frightened.

This is good, but shows complexity. It takes time to follow the logical order. Perhaps the commas you use are too much.

if witnesses give strongly and unarguable evidence that the culprit is guilty, and the jury has an access to the defendant's information, which says that the guy is homeless or robber, they are capable to make wrong decision.

It is experience which shapes personality. Life experience could possibly change a person's value, becoming an independent, self-reliant adult.

Would you prefer to live in a traditional house or in a modern apartment building? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.

Your intro:

owadays, most of inhabitants prefer to live in a new flat building. However, because of some reasons, others prefer to stay in classic houses which have more healthily environment during their lives. Personally, I prefer to live in a place which has good weather and could make me feel comfort when I live there.

This is good, but shows complexity.

Let me give a try for the intro:
House is a place where most people spend their whole life. While some people claim that a traditional house preserves more privacy, some others argue that a modern house has an ideal location, which is mostly found in business and commercial activities. However, I would support that the traditional ones are more comforting, convenient, and peaceful.
