Good editing by Pahan :) Let me also help you with a few more sentences;

Society is friendly in a small city, they life based on to help one another

... very good point. But you need to present it more clearly;
In a small time, the people are closer to each other because of their high dependency on one another.

Otherwise live on theliving in a small town always near with neighbors, because they honor each another neighborwould not be easy because they have limited resources compared to city life.

Writing Feedback / 'People need food, fashion, and health' - advertisements may improve our lives [6]

Advertisement which is information to some people is related with need people. Advertisement gives much information to people such as food, fashion, and health. I agree advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives.

I remember providing you with a guideline for constructing your essay. I feel you should pay some attention to that structure because it contains all necessary structural features that help you earn a good score. As per that approach, you have not adequately presented the background of the issue. Actually, it is the most important part of your intro which introduces the issue and its importance to the reader.

Writing Feedback / The 21st century; world always changes - technology, transportation, and humankind [4]

What is the purpose of this writing? Is it for IELTS or TOEFL ? It is always good to include the purpose (e.g. IELTS, TOEFL) in the title itself so that others could give you more task related feedbacks. Also, make sure you include the essay prompt in all your essays for us to get a better understanding about what it asks and align our feedbacks more with your prompt. :)

Research Papers / Organic foods vs GMO foods! 'What's really going into the body?' [3]

The discouraging fact is that most people are blind to what each term even means.

The bitter truth is that most people are unaware of what those terms even mean.

People have continuously gone with the flow of society and are just now finally stopping to ask the question of is GMO food healthy to eat?

People have continued to follow the societal trends and they are not concerned about finding out the healthiness of food they consume.
The next logical question to ask though is what are the claimed benefits of GMO?

Writing Feedback / Teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Good Idea? Knowledge vs Money. [8]

First, you should have posted your full prompt (topic) in this thread for us to understand what it really requires from you. Include it on the top of your essay;

As we know became a student its not easy because you have responsible to your parents. But as a teenagers, we have many needs for living. If just take it for your parents maybe its not enough. Teenagers have jobs while they are still students, I think is a good idea. I have some reason why I say that.

You need to improve on the structure of your intro.

This is not valid only for today, but it's an all time case :D

Today meeting and personally seeingMeeting a celebritycelebrities or an athlete has becomeis a matter of prestige for many people.

Begin your body para with the reason to justify your opinion (in this case, why you like Big B ). So start like this;
First, I am such an admirer of his personality.
Now tell the examples as to why you are so :)

Writing Feedback / Toefl evalution - God is too large to fit in one religion [5]

World has evolved phenomenally from fashion to technology

.... why do you say that the world evolved from fashion to technology? Why it is fashion?

World has evolved phenomenally from fashion to technology but one thing which is still same is distinct religion and people's faith in it.

For me, this sentence does not serve any purpose for your essay. You don't have to come up with very complicated ideas or sentences. All what you need is to say something relevant to the topic which is also an interesting idea.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Studying at university to be successful? Yes, but it is not main decisive element. [6]

"prompt" means your topic. So, what he and I both were talking about alignment between your writing and your topic. In simple words, you should not go out of topic. So, we need to have a look at your prompt (topic) so that we have a better understanding about what it requires from you. We, I mean myself and other contributors, check whether you stay with your topic or not.

Writing Feedback / Eassy For Toefl: computer for students vs books for library [6]

Well, you are going through the same emotional process that everybody who takes up TOEFL. However, you can feel that you keep improving day by day. Doing your essays with time is very good as it is the best way to train yourself to manage time. Also, follow the structure we suggested very seriously. Have some ready made phrases that can be used in all your essays. If you have met the word count minimum requirement, then that's fine. Do not worry too much about that, but need to maintain at least them minimum. Read others' essays on similar topics to pick up good points :)

Writing Feedback / Power of advertising; My two friends who owned well serviced car bought the same car [3]

First, it is important that you include the prompt in your post so that we can get a better understanding about what it really requires from you. Second, include the purpose of your writing, e.g. IELTS, TOEFL in the title itself that helps you earn more feedbacks,

Advertisement plays a significant role in the business.The success of business depends on its advertisement to attract millions of customers from various part of the world.Some people believe that the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect power of advertising and not the real needs of society while other disagree.In my view, advertisement doesn't provide the information on the most important things which we actually need for several reasons.

Your intro seems to follow the right structure. However, your thesis statement needs improvement;

Writing Feedback / Writing: The high sales of popular consumer goods/ advertising as extremely powerful tool [15]

We cannot deny that advertising has strong effect on the taste of consumers.

Actually, your prompt is focused not on the taste of consumers, but on their buying decisions. Do not deviate from the original idea of the prompt.

Well, you are supposed to give reasons to justify your position on the argument. I do not find a reason directed at that in this body para :( You hold the opinion that advertising doesn't have a strong effect on people's buying choices because people today make careful choices. So, tell the reader why you think that people do not carried away by ads.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL evalution -PEOPLE LEARN THINGS FROM LISTENING OTHER, SELF- EXPERIENCE, READING. [3]

Learning is never enough to live a perfect life - every person, event or aspect has some or other thing to teach us.

However, still some people prefer to experience things and learn lessons; so others some are intellectual enough to learn by listening to others.

Well this sounds a bit deviated from what your prompt suggests;

SOME PEOPLE LEARN BY READING; OTHER PEOPLE LEARN BY READING ABOUT THINGS; OTHER LEARN BY LISTENING TO PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THINGS. WHICH OF THIS METHOD OF LEARNING IS BEST FOR YOU?

.... none of these things talks about learning through experiences. You should have mentioned things that have been already mentioned in the prompt.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: the high sales of goods & power of advertising - 'what we buy is up to ourselves' [6]

Does it mean I need to write a relatively long introduction? Or that I misunderstood you?

No, it should not be long. It can be two sentences (if you don't have the hook, which is not as important as the other parts of the intro) or three (hook, background, thesis)

So, as per Simon, it is the background and the thesis. That's quite acceptable, but your essay would look more presentable and appealing if you have a hook also included. What I suggest to you is that to begin your essay with the background (introduction of the issue) and continue your essay. If you get time after completing the essay, include a hook.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Living in modern Apartment or Traditional House - support your choice [4]

Yes, it is not delivering the idea you want to convey to the reader. Afford means having enough money to pay for something. Choosing to live in an apartment depends on many factors and money may be one of them. Give more focus to your idea and present it in a simple way so that the reader gets your message better. Do not complicate your sentences with too many inappropriate words.
