Graduate / Debts and Loans - 'money has a great role in each section of human life' - IELTS2 [6]

Remember, the suggestion that we make here on EF is plain suggestion, yes they do help a lot and it really gives the essay that amp that it needs, however this does not mean that we don't find your essay a piece of good writing, we just want to modify it and enhance it to make it stronger.

I started out with very little vocabulary too, what I did that helped a lot?, I read, any paper or reading material I can get my hands with, even when walking, on a train, the bus or anywhere I find something to read, I read. Now, with the help of technology, do yourself a favor, look up a few words in the dictionary up, a few words each day will help you build your vocabulary and inevitably help you in your writing and communication skills.

Book Reports / 1984 Essay, The private and personnel life of Winston [6]

Gurjot, I'm not sure as well why your teacher gave you 62, is this 62 / 100? If so, this means he / she didn't really review or pay attention on your book review.

Believe it or not, I did some book reviews and they're not as good as the one you have, I mean my book reviews are good but not as good.

If there's anything that is lacking in your essay, it's the use of the verb tenses and verb forms, you tend to write everything in it's past form.

Good to note, when an action is done in a continuous manner, you should carry out the present form of the verb and this is also true with words that has taken place today or in the present time.

Well, I don't know how your teacher got into scoring your work like he/she did, however, look at the brighter side of things all the time and keep this in your experience treasure chest, it will serve you better in the future.

Keep writing.

Graduate / "Your story is awful. It does not make sense at all." - SOP for Animation graduate school [2]

Kyu, that's exactly what I mean by writing a paragraph about your academic background.
Remember, as much as the purpose of this essay is to learn more about you, your dreams, aspirations and professional goals,
it is also very critical that you add some information about your academic achievements, this will boost your credentials and
gives the admission panel the confirmation that you are not into animation because you like it or because it's your outlet to unleash
frustration but because animation is where your dedication lies and where you see yourself succeeding as a professional.

Kyu, a paragraph dedicated to this information will definitely help your SOP.
Animation is not an easy field to discover and this SOP is the start of your journey so give it a bang and make your art known to this industry.

I hope you find my insights helpful and let us know when you do the revision so we
can assist you further.

Going through your essay, I'd like to make a very minor modification if you don't mind, I can assure you that this modification will help a lot in your paper.

What I'm talking about is to interchange your second paragraph and make it your first, reason being, it will boost the understanding of the overall study and the purpose of letting your readers understand your paper better.

More so, this is the only paper I read that is not negatively criticizing this mental disorder rather, seeing the good side and the positive aspect that it brings to an individual.

I hope this paper makes it to larger scope of information drive, I mean as soon as I stumble on facts you wrote on the research, I took the liberty of verifying them and you did a great job in information gathering.

Graduate / 'disaster preparedness and infectious diseases' - Environmental health at U of M personal statement [6]

Chika, it's good to hear from you. It's another student that EF is able to help and that gives us the jest to move forward and do what we do best.

Now, I mentioned negative verbs or words in general, what I mean is using the words but, cannot or something like preventing you to complete the sentence with no opposing ideas or message.

Instead of using such negative words, you can replace it with, however, in spite or phrases like, on a lighter note, looking at the bright side or leaning towards, etc.,

this word and phrases will definitely help you in expressing the same message with the same level of impact that you want your readers to note.

I hope I was able to help and if you need further assistance do let us know here on EF and we'll be very glad to help.

Research Papers / Rough draft of alternative treatment plans for children diagnosed with ADHD [3]

Jennifer, I did about 5 research before yours and sad to say you share the same predicament as the others.

Here's what I can share.
The introduction, as simple as it is to understand, the introduction should be a paragraph that will introduce your readers to your research paper, a background of what the study is and it's purpose. Your introduction should be able to highlight the reason behind the study and making sure that it is going to start smoothly and progress from there.

Your citation can be modified further by adding the page number of the book or the material where you fetch your information, keep the facts and work from this facts, remember the more facts you can gather, the stronger your essay is. Depending on the facts you gathered is also the best practice to avoid any questions, now and in the future.

Use of words and it's meaning, when doing such scientific and clinically based research, it would help if you can define the words and break them in lay-mans terms in order to help your panel understand and better grasp your research.

Well, I hope my insights help.

Research Papers / Abolishment of the death penalty - 8th amendment from the Bill of Rights does not mention it [5]

Isabella, I'd like to share my insights on your paper.

Strength of your paper
- written well
- paragraph and overall presentation is precise
- overall word use is great

the weak side
- introduction started on a lot of jumbled ideas
- citation, examples, facts and figures are not solid enough to strengthen the credibility of the research
- as much as your opinion as a researcher / author of the paper is adding a personal note on this research,
you have to keep the overall essay strong and make your paper speak then you insert your personal view of the matter
- not being able to justify the research is not good especially because, remember, with the advent of technology, anybody can look up and search for any research and if they caught up with yours and you happen to have idea, entirely different from what it's suppose to, then that spells trouble.

Anyhow, I don't mean that you have to re-do the entire essay but add facts to your paper and that should do it.

Mary, as soon as you start writing, remind yourself to be objective and be ready for constructive criticisms as you pos it here on EF, we are here to help.

Research Papers / How are Arizona's children being affected by low state funding education levels? [3]

Jose, your research is by far the longest and the clearest research I have read, KUDOS on that!!!
You have written it in a way that a normal reader will definitely understand the message that you want to send across, more so the study that you made has a great relevance to today's issues. Sad but true and this is not happening only in Arizona but to majority of places all over the world.

Issues with education, the funding, the members of the faculty, wage claims and a lot more, never ending list of issues that just piles up everyday, without a doubt, the government is doing every effort to alleviate this pressing issue but the effort is not enough much less effective.

Going back to your paper, the citation can be improved by adding the page number of the information gathered from the author or the book and the source as a whole, what it does is it helps the credibility of the research and it extends your gratitude to the authors for working in part on your study.

Lastly, before submitting your paper, do another round of reading, I mean, I don't see any polishing to do, however it will help if you do the last review and this way you are sure that you have covered all your basis, oh, it will help if you can add a couple of sentences about your personal view of the issue to add a personal touch.

Research Papers / Alternative Methods to the Traditional Therapy "What Is There To Talk About" [3]

Stacie, I'm afraid I have to agree that your research needs a little bit of revision and the following;

- introduction needs a lot more facts and basic information about the research, this is the part that will spark a conversation about your research but with how you put it out in the introduction it's quiet weak.

- the research paper is about the discovery or the re-enforcement of findings, analyzed data and facts that we know today, this also needs to be in the introduction

- next is the basis of your research, you used the words, "controversy", which is like rumors and views or points of people with no direct collaboration in the field of study or research that you are writing about, this doesn't leave much credibility to your study and therefore doesn't make it strong

- the flow of your paragraph and overall paper is not very smooth, it lacks the transition from one idea to the other.

- citation can be in-context, where you write the cited party as part of the paper and write them again in the end of the paper, this way you don't just say thank you for their help in your thesis, this is also showing the value of their work.

Lastly, it will help to write your personal opinion on this issue in the last paragraph to add a personal effect on your paper.

Try to add a sentence or couple about her professional capacity and credibility as a future member of the faculty.

Research Papers / Stop the killing of dogs in shelters [3]

Theresa, indeed, your research paper is a rough draft, there is still a few improvements that can be done to make it stronger and more informative.

I'd like to share my thoughts with you.

- clearly state the purpose of the research, this should be covered in the introduction,like writing a normal essay
- fact and figures, citations and examples, this will help boost the credibility of your study, so work it further towards gaining probable insights on your research

- word meanings, not everyone is aware of such horrendous acts in dog shelters or animal shelters in general and it would help if you will be able to elaborate your words further to level up with normal comprehension

- pros and cons, this should be discussed in the body of the research or allot a dedicated paragraph or two and write about the pros and cons euthanasia and the effects it has with the animals around as well with the people taking care of the animals in the shelter

- your citations are written well in the end of the paper, that's good

Finally, add a paragraph, writing about your personal opinion on the pressing issue, remember to be very objective in doing so.

I hope this insights help you to further modify your research paper.

Research Papers / Adverse Childhood Experiences Effecting the Workforce [4]

Lean, with all the other EF contributors who reviewed your research paper, I agree that it does need a little bit of improvement.

You tend to focus on issues definitely related to your research however, do not waste a paragraph of writing about the same idea and not elaborating it properly.

Create a mainstream of your study and work it out from there. The following paragraphs after your introduction are great and has a smooth transition to the sequence of ideas to follow though, this construction should be consistent all through out the paper and not to get stuck in one aspect.

Citation and examples, facts and figures, gathering all this information are very essential to your paper and you did a great job on this, this are crucial information that if not gathered correctly will leave a very negative note on your paper.

Also, for future writing,it would be great if you can incorporate personal opinion, thoughts and ideas to better the current situation of the subject at hand.

Overall, you have written a well structured paper, I wish you good luck and keep writing1

Graduate / 'disaster preparedness and infectious diseases' - Environmental health at U of M personal statement [6]

Chika, I'd like to share my thoughts in your essay, at least for the last two paragraphs.

- but from "preventive" approacheslearnedheard via rumors,

- Environmental health at U of M appeals to me becauseas its faculty researches
- to someday( your futuristic approach should be coupled with optimism) work on
- I have first-hand experience ofon environmental factors that
- I am therefore, confident that I have a wealth

Well, Chika, that's about it for me, not much corrections really, you have a well written essay and you have justified the purpose os your prompt.

For future reference, refrain from adding verbs that connotes negative insights, this might affect the overall message of your essay.

Research Papers / Fighting For An immigration Reform [3]

Miriam, after going through your paper, here's my thoughts;

- the paper is written pretty well
- paragraphing it and the overall presentation may still need improvement
try to put a little bit more space after each paragraph, I'm not sure if this is just how you present it
when posting here on EF but be sure to create a space like a breather for the reader, more so
for the defense panel who needs to go through your paper thoroughly
- grammar and sentence construction can be enhanced as well however it's already written good
- citation, I'm not sure of you consider the open and close parenthesis (...), a citation already because when you
do citation you have to include the necessary information.
- page number
- book or manual or the origin of the material matter of facts of course
- author and accreditation if you have is way better to be included
You do have it written at the end of the essay but it would be best if you can incorporate it already
in the paper.

As what I mentioned, overall the research paper justifies it's purpose, all you have to now is to have other EF contributors to share more

insights that will help you out in enhancing the paper further.

- Stress levels mounted until the other co-president
- forto me, it was never about
- The experience of working and getting to know andas well as help others
- on a personal level and having fun doing so, served as a reward in itself.

James, above are my corrections on your essay, hopefully it helped.
On a personal note, indeed there's no shame in walking out from responsibilities when you are drowning
with stress already, it doesn't help staying in a program when you are just pretending you can do something when you can't do anything at all.

I wish you the best of luck!

Essays / Application Essay: personal information which may include exceptional hardships, challenges, etc. [3]

Dani, I agree with Louisa, you pretty much have an idea of what to write already, all you have to do is formulate the introduction, like how it will sound structure wise and with a good flow towards the body of the letter that will elaborate the purpose of your essay.

Your dedication to working hard and achieving goals with your moms motivation may sound very common, however, the difference lies on how you will illustrate this in your writing.Remember to write objectively, as much personal as you want to write your essay, it's fine so long as you keep the mainstream of your essay to it's purpose.

Lastly, since part of this prompt asks you to write about your contribution to the diverse community you are about to be part of, cite examples of activities you did in the previous institution or the community you belong and incorporate it in UTSA's practice, culture and standards. Having said that, keep a balanced approach on your writing in order to establish your credibility and capability as a student more so as a great addition to UTSA.

I hope to see your essay here on EF so we can assist you further.

Essays / The Origins of Capitalism? Need help with Essay Thesis [2]

Dave, I believe that there is a student here on EF who is also working on this essay of the ideology of Karl Marx, in order to come up with a well written and strong essay, first things first;

- research, take a little bit of data gathering and information to support your essay
- the topic that you have, Origins of Capitalism, is rather a broad and in depth analysis of capitalism
- incorporating the idea and origins of capitalism with that of the German ideology is quiet a sensitive topic so be very objective in your essay

Having said that, do a healthy comparison of your draft, when you have one, with that of the other students, this should give you some insights to make your essay better.

Lastly, write your opinion, remember to be objective, on the subject matter and what you think of capitalism in general.

I wish to see your essay posted here on EF so we can assist you further.

they will not see it as a paper full of eye sore information but an informative research paper worth reading

- grammar wise, it's fine, fine because you have tendencies of transpiring your ideas directly unto your writing like how we do when we are talking to someone.

- the information, facts and figures and citation on your research is done in a manner that is required to justify the purpose of the essay

Overall, your essay is written pretty well and a few modification on the construction, paragraph and the total presentation of your essay and you should be able to submit the research to get ready for the defense.

Dear Sir or/ Madam,

I am writing to file a complain about the conditions of my street in (name of street ) (Benamejí).
It has not been repaired for years and all the neighbours are disappointed with this situation.

First of all, someFew years ago, all the streets around the block were fixed and their conditions improved.
My street, which was getting worse bywith the constructions, did not get any improvement at all .

To make matters worse, during these years, most of the streets around mineours ( you are speaking on behalf of the neighborhood ) have been closed and the vehicles have been crossing by myour street.

This has damaged even more the conditions of the street even more and the wheels of the vehicles.
In addition, by theto this conditions, it is really annoying to hearing the sound of the vehicles.

I strongly urge you to reconsider the idea of fixing myour street.
I trustam confident that you will dealtake action with this issue and I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfullyBest regards ("your's faithfully", is written to someone you love ) ,
Juan García.

There you have it Juan, keep this as a formal guide in writing letters for your future reference. The errors on your sentences lies mainly in your grammar and the lack of linking verb usage that would complete the sentences.

Undergraduate / I read the question and my face tightened when I saw the one word that stood out to me: FAMILY. [3]

Vivian, aside from the fact that the transition of the essay is very smooth, I must say that you were also able to write your essay with no pressure.

Reading your essay is like reading a story that has a meaning and a dream that is definitely fulfilling.

I'd like to share my thoughts on your grammar and make the necessary corrections if there's any.

- That'sThis is the kind of people my parents are.
- No matter how busy they are, they always put infind time for me.

- I certainly know for certain that I want
- to have a career in betteringto better the lives of others.
- Never in my life have I considered being anythinganybody ( anything is to refer to a thing, anybody is for a person) else, but a doctor.

- I want to become someone who people can come tothat people can count on when they need help.
- I want to have the honor of having people entrusting me with theirbe the trustee of peoples saddest and happiest moments.
- As a doctor, I can heal people. I can make them feel better-I can make them feel happier. No matter how difficult it is to become a doctor, I believe that if you have a dream and a passion for something( becoming a doctor is not just "something", you are going to become a life saver and that's not just something ) , the outcome is worth all the blood and sweat you put into it.

There you have it Vivian, I added a few words and phrases in your essay, for future reference, avoid writing in direct translation, this is when your mother tongue tends to dictate what you think and it transpires to your writing. Practice writing more will help you develop your writing skills.

Undergraduate / "Failure Is Inevitable" - College Personal Essay [8]

Kierre, you basically have only 20 words spot to complete the 650 word count.
Out of the idea above, please find my revision below.

Shortly after this failure,I gathered my strength and volunteered to the team, this way I can show my dedication and undying support, this action paid of in the end.

This is my idea of the 2 paragraphs, this sentence consist of 30 words, in excess of 10 words right?, yes, but this is the most that I can do, otherwise the sentence will not make sense anymore. I'm sure there is always a way to cut the previous sentences and insert this one full sentence as part of your concluding paragraph.

The sad thing about word count is the restriction to come up with a more elaborate and detailed essay, however, there is always something to be done to make up with the word count that will not affect the message of the essay.

I hope my insights help.

Undergraduate / "Failure Is Inevitable" - College Personal Essay [8]

Kierre, first of all, with all the suggestions, remarks and corrections made by EF contributors, have you tried re- writing your essay already?
From what I see, considering all the enhancement of your essay, you will be able to come up with a reasonable word count that perfectly justifies your answer to the prompt.

Normally, the word count is there to guide you on being precise and making sure that you don't overload your essay with information or write a lot of paragraphs that may mislead your idea of the prompt and what you consider will be helpful to keep your essay strong and dignified.

More so, there's no need to worry about word count, so long as you meet the minimum of course, what you should keep in mind is the concept of your essay, the overall idea that your essay presents and the information you provided that should correspond the prompt.

Moving forward, when writing an essay, practice writing a draft first, not the one that you are posting on EF but a rough draft that you made out of impulse as soon as you understood what was asked of the essay, after proof reading, post it here on EF so we can assist you further.

Speeches / The great history of Abraham Lincoln - presentation speech. [4]

HI, while it is imperative that you include the prompt of your essay when posting here on EF, it is also important that you gather facts and create an idea and focus in your essay. Now, from what I have here, let me try to help you out.

- Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 in Kentucky,USA .
- He was elected as the 16th president of the United States in 1861.
- At that time, the country was having problemsfacing issues regarding the practice of slavery.
- This madeleft the country going to split upin great turmoil .

- After that,Shortly after, thea civil war broke
- Because ofHaving accomplished this, he was one of the greatest presidents of the United States.

- For example,H e underestimated his opponents and
- resulted an assassin was able to sneak into a box and shoot himto his assassination .

( this last paragraph doesn't make sense to me at all, I don't know now where your essay is leading to, if you can shed a light at this point of the essay, please post it here on EF so we can assist you further )

- In my opinion, Abraham Lincoln was very persistent. He attended school for less than a year. He taught himself to read and write. Initially, he worked on the farm of his father. He did different types of jobs before he settled as a highly successful lawyer and then a great president. After reading his story, I learnt what it means to never give up.
