Scholarship / We no longer live in the past; we strive to seek for a perfected global future [9]

Although technology has dramatically changed the way we see and relate to each other, it has yet to achieve its threshold.

Grammatically, there is no issue with that, for we consider such as a standard sentence structure. But in that sentence, the verb should be in present progressive aspect , and not in future. That manifests on the first part of the sentence if we will just scrutinize :)

Hi, it's grammatically correct. But we should avoid writing a wordy sentence as much as possible. That is one of the sentence common faults that we must avoid in writing sentences.:)

Writing Feedback / IELTS Task 2: To solve traffic problems, governments should tax private car [5]

Fikri is right. Do not begin your paragraph with that transitional device. Using it means you are giving a contradictory view.

For example, if governments raise taxes, people who have financial problemdifficulties with money , like poor family, willcannot afford to fulfill their basic necessitiesnotbe able to have enough money everything .

Writing Feedback / WRITING TASK 2 - VIOLENT MOVIES can cause serious social problems [8]

One of the main problems that contributes to the severe troubles is that violent movies make people neglected .
Recently, most of people suppose that the high rates of violent scenes are leading to detrimental community issues .

This problem , among others , will be discussed hereafter, and methods which can reduce them will be given .

Delete this. Instead of writing this way, express your opinion. It is not presented in your introduction.
To begin with , there are three factors that bringbringingabout the consequence of violent films .[/quote]

First of all , v iolent films made people

Moreover , Violent movies

violent

Due to the fact that , Youngsters are not mature enough

youngsters

For example , If the government

if

If the government removesthe violent scenes in movies

Beside , Parents should have a discipline

parents
Beside, parents shouldimpose discipline in their home

In conclusion , while there are many issues aringing as a consequence of the increasing amounts of violence in movies,(use comma instead of period). I believe that the best way to solve that problems is education . Hence , People will understand that violence is unacceptable and they will not mimic it .

The italic part should be combined as one. They are not separate sentences.

Good luck:)

Writing Feedback / Ielts take 2 Young people attitude towards parents and grand parents [4]

But , can you tell me what's the different between in regards to and with regards to
Can in regards to substitute with regards to?

Actually, both are interchangeable. Meaning, both are correct. However, in writing, it is more appropriate to use "with regard to". But in spoken language, you can use both.

" In regards to" is wrong. It must be "in regard to" or "with regard to". Hope I answer you question :D

Writing Feedback / Ielts take 2 Young people attitude towards parents and grand parents [4]

Recently, there has been a social concern inwith regards to what different attitudes children hold towards their parents and their grandparents.

I will discuss this issue below.

Unnecessary expression. Delete it.

However, children treadtreat their grandparents as friends.

For instance, after retirement, grandparents will enjoy more free time in which they can keep up with their grandchildren' interests such as listening to their music, watchingtheir television ,orand playing game with them. Having such bondand this will create a positive communication between grandparents and grandchildren.

After having considered all the points that I have discussed above,

We call this as padded statement. Direct to the point. Writing like that hides your main point.

Particularly what impressed me is whenone day it was a heavy snow, she came to have classes lonely one day in the midst of a heavy snow.It is what made me firmly believe that she was a girl who was worth training well.

Three years later, although she passed the exam and to be a music teacher, she never givegave up her initial dream in learning music a a nd kept on learning to me.

With abandon of knowledge obtained by reading, she could discuss with me about some professional qu esti ons.

I would argue that citizens have other important responsibilities to fulfill apart from paying tax.

Another responsibility all citizens should take for is to maintain social stability together with the police force.

People attend college or university for many reasons however many people attend college or university without reason.

I appreciate how you put emphasis here. However, the bold part only makes your point weak. Better rephrase it.

"Whether". Additionally, your sentence lacks with thought.

It is for self development each person whatever that reason.

The idea of this sentence seems rambling. I think this has a better flow :People have many reasons why they attend college, and one of them is for their self-development.

Attend college or university without reason.
We have different strategies to organize body paragraphs. Do not do this way. It's just for spoken language (reporting). Try to observe the works of other members here. I believe you can get a hint when it comes to that.

Writing Feedback / Water cycles - process showing how water evaporates, condenses and precipitates [7]

Heating water by sun is cause water which is undergoing evaporation, and water vapor condenses to form clouds.

Grammatical mistakes are very evident. Let us fix them by rephrasing this sentence.
The illustration shows that the heating of water caused by the sun results to water evaporation and when condensed, cloud formation occurs.

Evaporation of water to emanated from ocean contributes about 80% of total water vapor in air.

To summary, the water cycle is a continuous process showing howof water evaporates , condenses, and precipitates . which is always happened and never to stop .

The bold word is a NOUN. Remember infinitive ( to + base form of verb). Therefore, it is not "summary" , but "SUMMARIZE", rather.

Graduate / "Speech is power: Speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel" Ralph Emerson [3]

"Speech is power: Speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel"- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Put a dash before the author when you are stating his line. That is the proper way of expressing a quotation.

[

I wanted to help my cousin improve her speech so badly that I would watch Sesame Street, over and over to practice the pronunciation of various words and then teach them to my cousin, and had no idea that all that time spent practicing my articulation and phonetics would someday lead to a marriage between a passion and a profession.

This is a very long sentence which just makes the reader tired to read it. Split this into two. The italic part should be made as a separate sentence.

I know that I am well armed to face the challenges of an online graduate school and that I am a good candidate for the graduate program because I am passionate about the field of speech language pathology and because I have a strong work ethic.

I know that I am well armed to face the challenges of an online graduate school. Moreover, I am qualified to be a candidate for the graduate program considering my great compassion in the field of speech language pathology and strong work ethic.

These days, it seems that far more modern society's justice desire to legitimate carrying firearms among individuals.

Writing Feedback / Parents should allow their children to select their own profession [7]

You still need to tremendously improve what you have posted above. I have a strong feeling you can do that. Also,just a sort of important reminder, always include the subject/prompt you are going to discuss.

If we talk about the recent era, Parents just want their children to be a doctor or engineer. They force them to go in the field which they want and don't care about what their children want and what are their interests. It's just like a new trend that my friend's daughter is a doctor and getting very handsome amount of salary so they start degrading their daughter that why don't you become a doctor rather than being a teacher.
Parents should keep this thing in their minds that what are the interest of their children and what they want to be in future. What are their desires.If they force them to be what they want then maybe they start getting against of their parents.

This does not follow the real structure of an essay. What you did is just you have merely presented your ideas without considering certain principles important to make your entire composition more coherent.

Writing Feedback / Honesty vs Telling lies - persuasive essay [5]

If you are about to write a persuasive essay, you should know how to start PERSUASIVELY. To achieve that, there are several introductory techniques - description, exemplification/illustration, definition, analogy, cause and effect- which you can use.

Lies, they are never justified. Lying is a sin from my religious belief. Not only lying is a sin but you can lose trust between others. You put shame on yourself. Lying isn't going to get you anywhere, you're just going to end up with a whole bunch of crap that you never wanted in the first place.

Write the full prompt or the subject you are about to discuss.

Lying is a sin from my religious belief.

This sentence does not have a logic. Also, the "you-attitude" is used in your intro, therefore avoid using the first person point of view. Be consistent. It shows like you are the basis of truth that lying is really a sin ( we all know it is really a sin religiously.) :D

What i mean is that you have to make your opinion concise. In your case, you have expressed your opinions obviously lengthy. Actually, introduction just contains thesis and your opinion ( sometimes, it has a HOOK if you want to make your intro appealing to the readers.) In short, just two or three sentences will do for your intro.
