Historic buildings answer many questions, which are mysterious about our previous ancestors; thereby no one can determine the price of the historic buildings.

Writing Feedback / A lot of students from rural areas and poor families cannot go to school due to lack of money [3]

Firstly,

to state your agreement with several reasons, go forward with secondly, etc.

in Vietnam, the candidates who get the highest score in the entrance examination to universities are majorly poor.

this looks like a judgement, a writer needs a refference to jugde something probably coming from empirical data in a research. Using "majority" is one solluted suggestion.

I am from a rich family, and my parents choose the most expensive school for me to study.

Taking an example from my experiece in choosing school, my family enrolled me to the best school in xx city due to purpose of advance education..

Undergraduate / "A lost Russian in America, or is it the other way around?"-- UW-Madison Admission Essay [3]

In my curiosity, I found in Google some unfamiliar vocabularies for me.
It would be better if you help global reader to understand the meaning of the native vocabulary given.

malchiki and devochki bunking up with their babooshkas and dedooshkas ,

. My roots tie me to my ancestors, flavor my everyday life, and color the way I view the world in the best way possible while my experiences opened me up to a world where uniqueness is admired and pride of one's culture and its idiosyncrasies is encouraged

I think this is bulky sentence. If you could separate it, the reader is helped to memorize your story.

Writing Feedback / a Table about proportion of female & male genders in sports [5]

Firstly, you should have uploaded the table so it is easier to check.

I agree with both advisors above. Attach file menu is provided above the written box while you start a new treat.

the boys participants in Cue sports were five times higher than the number of girls participants

Moreover, compare with the percentage of females, more than twice as many males participated in cycling

The punctuation using is not appropriate to me. Common pattern is subject,appositive,verb.

I have similar problem with you, as my English is still not fluent and natural. I suggest you to read as many as authentic English writing such as journal, newspaper or magaines. It benefits for us to improve our English.

Good luck and keep writing.

Writing Feedback / 'the real achievement is when we can help others' - Summarize your accomplishment [2]

Please review my writing. The propmt says "summarize your achievement". Thank you
=============================================================================================================

It is not by spectacular achievements that man can be transformed, but by will, a saying conducted by Henrik Ibsen go through deeply my mind about what did I achieved. Recently, I already did my job as social worker for 10 months and most of my activity is teaching. Based on my reflection the achievement that I get is not about my successful in teaching local inhabitants but I did lots of lesson from them instead. I find my spirit to study after my idleness after my college graduation. Moreover, local inhabitants here teach me about sincerity and togetherness that rarely seen in urban living. It effects in decreasing my selfishness. They teach to me directly from their daily how to care and aware with the surrounding. For instance, when a village inhabitant hospitalize, majority of neighbor come together to visit and support for the wellness. I think the best achievement cannot be seen by the prestige that we got, but how far it effects in our self developing.

In managing my peer, I also learn a lot about leadership. How to communicates, how to find win-win solution about organizational problem and mainly how to be patience. Often, the ideal ideas contrary with the reality this I learn a lot to emerge myself in my journey to be better.

However, I am working on distance from my family. We separated in different island which is about 1.300 kilometers. This situation encouraged me to develop self-responsibility and independence. While usually my family stay surround to help me, it is contrary nowadays. Obviously, the experience living outside home develop myself become braver and tougher.

In conclusion, achievement for me is not merely measure as the quantity of prestige that a person got, but the real achievement is when we can help other, feel pleasure and going through become a better person.

Not surprisingly, people in rural area are commonly more interest in investing in economical aspect rather than invested in educational aspect. For instance, become a labor in the young age are more prestigious instead of continuing their education in university. According to such thoughtfulness, I want to increase the culture of literation among youngster. This is the reason why I develop village library and study group namely Bagoes as my project. Interestingly each of my students have student also in lower grade.

While my job is engaged with social work, I do many complementary duties engaged with local culture and social activities. I am also help local inhabitant in registering in hospital until they get the suitable medication. Furthermore, in terms of my duty to give an idea to the youth local organization, I organized a democratic election for the Karang Taruna's chairman. My daily routine also help the village officer in the administration service.

I lead the routine meeting to solve what the obstacle faced in each village and finding its solution together with other member and also accommodate all of personal progress to report to the assistant committees on time. Meanwhile, I should make a report monthly to the state ministry of youth and sport affairs including the progress from my project and recent village's activities that I contributed. However, the main responsibility of my existence is giving idea and inspiration for village development. This is the main mission from the ministry that my supervisor would like to see.

Writing Feedback / Technological improvement has always two sides, benefits and drawbacks [5]

Human have made a great technological process in the last hundred years. However, this progress has negative effects on people's lives. To what extend do you agree or disagree ?

============================================================================
Technology plays a vital role in human lives. Obviously, it simplifies the people in their daily routines. On the other hand, some people view that the drawback followed the technological improvement. I tend to disagree with the former due to several reasons.

Technological improvement followed by several drawbacks. Over using of computer can be effect for the vision impairment and pain in the backbone. The student who becomes active user of computer nowadays results highly number of myopia case in the early age. Surely, it was different while the using of typing machine without radiation screen stance stronger as the main equipment for student using.

However, the advance of technology helps people adversely in their daily living. It can be seen in the field of home living and office working. For instance, Indonesia people over decades spent around hours with several steps to cook rice as their daily intake. It is different nowadays, with the betterment of technology, eatable rice can be served around 45 minutes with just one pressing in the Magic Jar. In any case office using we can see in the public service. Recently, police officer need minutes while reporting robbery custody with the manual typing machine. What about if the case increases, how many times consume just for making report, and how many time the officer need to arrest the criminals? In helping of technological process, such as computer and handy talk, making a report and communicate with become easier and the case can be solved quickly.

Having said that, technological improvement has always two sides, benefits and drawbacks. I tend to disagree that the improvement process of technology damages people especially in their daily lives while tremendous benefit stands more than it's drawback.
