Undergraduate / 'No difficulties living in an English speaking environment' - Cincinnati statement [4]

I believe I won't ---don't believe I'll have many difficulties living in an English speaking environment.

English is not only just a foreign language to me; it's a joy, a hobby, a passion.

In my junior year I was one of the five students to chosen to represent our school when we competed in an English contest for honor students between three districts.

Getting used to American culture and lifestyle is another thing I am not very worried about.

My knowledge about America and my English skills have improved considerably.

I am a sociable person, I love being with, and interacting with people.

I am confident in my capabilities and am looking forward to becoming a part of UC.

I believe I will be a---?- -- member and help making our community diverse and energetic.

Graduate / 'Drawn to special needs children' - Speech Language Pathology-Grad School [2]

I have been doing ABA therapy with Steven for a while now, and have been able to see great improvements in his speech and other cognitive skills.

I've been a care-provider for a family with a child with Autism and I've also had numerous volunteer experiences with individuals with special needs throughout college.

I would love to continue to work within this field as an SLP and help children with Autism to improve and develop their necessary language skills.

I am extremely eager and excited to continue on my journey towards becoming a speech language pathologist.

...to achieve these goals and will prepare me for a career in which I can help others communicate and express themselves to their fullest.

Good luck with school and have fun! Some of my favorite people are autistic!

Graduate / 'my interest in control science' - SOP for applying System Engineer [3]

Furthermore, I also co-authored a paper with Prof. Wang, investigating the synchronization problem of complex networks containing switching behaviors on both its nodes and the network topology.

In addition to these research activities, as a leader of a research group, I also wrote and received funding from Huazhong University of Science and Technology to support our research project in the next year.

By working in and leading a team, my interpersonal and leadership skills have been enhanced, and more importantly, I became more aware of the intricacies and significance of working within a group.---This is great!

Since my extensive research, I am deeply impressed by the research environment of the Division of XXX at XXX University for its leading research in the area of discrete event systems.

Graduate / Statement of Intent for Ph. D admission in Peace Studies [2]

... I had been involved day and night in negotiations for devising appropriate mandates and effective operational guidelines for successful peacekeeping operations.

In countries such as Angola in 1993 and in Rwanda in 1994, severe and tragic violence happenedensued after the negotiation of the peace agreement.

In searching for the answer to that question, I started doing research on peace building .

The approach will start with initial group formation for immediate economic interests that would ultimately transcend over other basic necessities including health, education, sanitation , employment generation and security.

The research work for developing such a model will be buttressed by my experience of voluntary community level work in Bangladesh, formidable...

My first hand experience in community work suggests that if the dormant aspire of better could be roused ---I don't understand what you mean by this!

My interests in the Ph. D programme of Notre Dam peace studies emanated from my interaction with the professors of Kroc Institute in Oslo while attending a course in preventive diplomacy in 2009.

Their approach to peace negotiation, reconciliation and resolving conflict and the prominence of the institute and its faculty impressed me.

Should I be admitted, I would be interested in majoring in Political Science and Peace Studies so that I can fit the people centric development approach into the political process for establishing sustainable peace.

I will be interested in working with Professors Robert C. Johansen, Alexandra Guisinger, George A. Lopez Daniel Philpott and Jessica Collett so that I can blend my project putting due emphasis on peacebuilding by addressing social inequality and causes of conflict.

Your essay is great, as it shows how dedicated and serious you are about your studies. You sure have had a very interesting life so far, and they will be lucky to have you as a student. Most of the minor things I corrected, were just things you would have noticed if you just read the essay aloud to yourself. Good luck in all you do, and enjoy school!

Undergraduate / 'some animals are more equal than others' - ApplyTexas: Topic B [2]

This troubling statistic does not coincide with the beliefs that this country was founded upon.

To avoid our country from becoming a theocracy, our Founding Fathers established a government that separated the church from state. Therefore, the Bible has absolutely no standing in American law. ---Good point!

Being a gay student in high school, it irritates me whenever I hear that gays shouldn't marry because they would be unfit parents.

Tolerance of homosexuals is being condoned in public schools, butnot promoted .

Undergraduate / Tulane personal Statement Essay- My experience in dance [2]

Great opening paragraph!!

My dedication and persistence have helped me overcome my moments of discouragement.

My mom would always tell me to try to be great at everything that I choose to do, and with that kind of work ethic in mind I have never given up on anything that I have set my mind on doing.

For me as a performer, there is no structural way to explain how a dancer takes choreography and adapts it into her own interpretation and feelings of the story.

My choreographer was Jenna Matus, and on Christmas her mother died, so I was choreographed to dance as her late mother who had cancer.

Even though I had never met Jenna's mom, she has taught me to value the special bond between people and the beauty that it offers to life.

It continues to amaze me that without words or acting, dance is able to communicate to different cultures and languages something so powerful that it could make people cry, laugh, love, smile, hate, fear, and more.

This is such an interesting subject, and a well written essay. It does seem as if it could use one last sentence. Maybe it's the last 2 words that seem out of place, as 'and more' is very vague. Good luck in school and have fun!

Undergraduate / 'distorted as a result of Hollywood movies and TV shows' - A&M Crossing Boarders [5]

Many people live their whole lives in one place, never traversing more than thirty miles from their parents.

They have the same group of friends their entire lives, and avoid change like it's the plague.

I believe a humans can not grow intellectually in such a narrow minded environment.---What would make it a narrow minded environment? I don't think 'narrow minded' is what you want to say here. How about culturally unaware, something like that?

While physically they mature, they never progresses from a young teenager's ignorant and racist mind.---Wouldn't this only be the case if their parents are ignorant and racist?

If they were by chance to meet someone from a different country they would be quite astounded in realizing every single stereotype was false and they would find a person similar to his or her self.

I think you might be stereotyping people who do not travel far from home! It is possible to stay in one place and still be culturally aware and not ignorant or racist! I know what you're saying, it just needs some clarification and maybe a few more examples besides South Park!

Almost every day I wake up from my bed groggy and tired.

Even in middle school, my goal was to be better than everyone else.

I have then realized that hard studying pays off in the long run, regardless of how tedious it can be.

After all of my hard work, I have realized that I am now one of the fastest people in my drumline to learn and sight read sheet music.

Undergraduate / 'benefit from the experience' unique characteristics do I posses to contribute to UCF [3]

Not only would I gain something from the experience, but I feel I have exceptional characteristics that could be used as an advantage to the school's community.

If someone were to ask friends or acquaintances of mine for a few words describing me, I'm sure they'd inform them of my great time management skills, that I am extremely outgoing, helpful, hardworking, and that I love being in a position of leadership.

Along with the title were responsibilities like attending and competing at every competition and helping to recruit new members to the club.

I must also act as a mentor to some, be a successful student who upholds the school's expectations, and to be aware of and comfortable dealing with conflicts amongst my peers.

I know I am a student who is willing to take on a significant time commitment towards the university; whether it's for my actual classes, a sorority, community service, etc.

Writing Feedback / Factors that influence the decisions of news editors who control news on TV & papers [2]

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What ---It's important to remember to put all your periods and other punctuation marks right up against the end of the last word of your sentences. Then leave a space between that and the next sentence. Another important thing is to start every new sentence with a capital letter.

But sometimes they are forced to report some news which is broadcasted by the news editors regardless of its truthfulness.

One of the main factors for this biased news is the influence of politics on media.

However ,we are accustomed to bad and biased news since the media stepped in to the world.

P eople are inclined to read bad news before they read something good, so in order to maintain the popularity and publicity, all broadcasters highlights the bad news like air crashes ,earth quakes , or other such types of shocking news.

I think it would be great if we had one news channel that only reported stories that were happy, like about heroes and happy events.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Essay about British and Australian laws re criminal records [3]

Many people hold the opinion that past behaviour determines the future actions, which could be the main reason to support the idea of revealing a defendants record to the jury.

We must acknowledge that complete data concerning the history of an accused person creates more opportunity for jury members to build an overall picture of the defendant's personality.

Furthermore, past record might be useful in deciding whether a person was capable of committing a certain type of crime when it concerns serious crimes, such as kidnapping or a murder.

Nevertheless, in order for the jury to come up with an objective decision not depending on the past experience, the court should provide with details relevant to a particular case only.

Writing Feedback / Promoting Firearm Safety in Children, A personal essay about a "Radical Act" [2]

In my opinion I feel that gun safety should be taught to all people, especially to families and homes where there are firearms on the property.

Research Papers / Research paper on the effect of attractiveness, height, and race in the workforce [2]

I will argue the existence of such bias that arises in the workplace.---I could be wrong, but this sentence seems to need a few more words in it.

The injustice tends to arise from the moment an interviewer reads a candidate's resume, and it will ultimately come to fruition once a pictorial description is viewed.

This paper will rely on Dipboye et al, as their experiment indicates bias towards those with more appealing physical attributes.

Key patterns that show up are the fact that regardless of gender, attractiveness plays a role in a rater's (the interviewer) judgement of the candidates' credentials and qualifications, favoring those that are considered highly attractive by consensus.

Also, amongst those with similar credentials and level of attractiveness, gender is a factor in the decisions made by the interviewer, as males are desired more than females.

Finally, gender and attractiveness play an even bigger role depending on the position, i.e. a high management position will be given to attractive males and less attractive females rather than their counterparts.

This is coming along fine! Good luck in school and have fun!

While my aspirations and accomplishments wrapped me in a cloak of importance which I believed really described who I was, I realized that all of my fears and horrible habits I had brung out the most intimate parts of me. ---I don't understand what you mean by this sentence.

Today, I look into that same mirror and instead of feeling the imminent pit of despair I had often felt, I am cradled in the light, welcoming arms of my own acceptance.---I just love this ending!!

I enjoyed reading your essay, you have a great way of writing and have made some very important points! Good luck in school and have fun!

Writing Feedback / One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter [3]

The definitions ---Should this say 'differences'?---between a terrorist group and a freedom fighter significantly change justifications and perceptions of armed movements.

According to Wiegand, "Hezbollah is also suspected of the hijacking of TWA flight 857 in June 1985, intended to facilitate the release of 766 Lebanese prisoners held in Israel.

Iran believes that Hezbollah's acts are legitimate, and uses them to have influence in the region and in Israel.

Syria started as a mediator to transfer IRGC troops from Iran to Lebanon.

Since then, Syria has engaged closer political ties because of similar views on Israel.

This seems like it needs one or two sentences at the end to tie it all up, for example, say one more thing about the quote from the beginning. Good luck in school and have fun!

Writing Feedback / Knowledge is more significant. Experience refers to a direct contact, often comes after a long time. [3]

In this regard, I argue that knowledge which is obtained from experience could be more important because an experience refers to a direct contact, often comes after a long time, and it could be more powerful .

Indeed, people gain experienced by the presence and observation their environment, whereas studying does not display everything.

Also, people acquire experience by full of theirthrough energy and feeling, so they would be able to find out everything, while it is not be possible to get everything by studying.

In addition, people do not forget any details as to any events or occurrences, but they may forget something they have studied.

For example, students must write tens ofmany papers and essays to become a knowledgeable and experienced person in their major.

That is why knowledge gained from experience is more significant rather than through study.

Good luck in school and have fun!
