- She states that cellphones cause distraction in the classrooms that result into poor performance of students.

- She also mentionsmentioned that parents opposed the school district's rule , so they started a lawsuit against the school district.

- I agree with Jessie that cellphones are distracting for students learning in the

Writing Feedback / Now students have opportunities to enroll a foreign universities - enter into global competition [2]

-....to study in their own nationcountry since this made them easy towill help them achieve a high score.

- Yet, these days, they have a great opportunity to enrollapply in foreign university as it can bring them into global competition.

- Therefore, I would argue that both studying in their own country and abroad have thea number of merits and demerits.

- As a matter of fact, studying in their original country is easy for students because they must notdon't need to adapt with new situation.

- For example, students who study in their own country tend to behave an easy way to be the winner in some local competitions held in their university.

- Having said that, studying in their own country leadskeeps students not tofromgetgetting global competition as their competitors come only from the local areas.

- However, most international students have to face shock culture shock since they are living in a new area.

- For instance, Students need at least one semester to adapt with new culture which causes students to gain achievement slowly.

- The aforementioned evidence reveals that although studying in your country of origin brings students to get a local competition easily, they do not have international experience.

- Likewise, they have to face shock culture in long time to adapt with new situation.Whereas students who study abroad have greater exposure to everything there is out there and much more. Overall, what brings a person to the realization of his dreams and ambition is the determination to succeed in life, the will to survive and the promise of undying love to learn and to take on that adventure.

Siddi, your essay is good. You were able to differentiate two ideas clearly.
However, please take note of the following;

- word usage, make sure that you choose the word that best describe your ideas to your readers, make sure that they will be able to understand it and will be able to relate to it.

- sentence construction, the flow of an essay is essential in order to keep your readers read through the entire article, in this essay you tend to go back and forth on your ideas and examples, so compose your thoughts, draft it, then proof read, re- write if necessary, this way you will have a well defined article.

Writing Feedback / Contributions of scientists and engineers are more important than the contributions of artists..... [2]

- I am of theIn my personal opinion thatone should the contributions of scientists and engineers are more important than the contributions of artists and writers, it does not mean the contributions of artists and writers are less important and such an opinion is based on the reasons elaborated below. ( this statement is very contradicting, I suggest rephrasing it.)

- I believe that the scientists and engineers are more advanced countries are based onand wide spread when it comes tothe science and knowledge, which I suppose can be best illustrated by in today's world.

- the criterion to choose advance countries are theThe contribution of scientists and engineers that showed In 2014, the ten largest advanced economies the criteria for evaluating the degree of economic werecame from 10 largest economically advanced countries such as the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, South Korea and Spain.

- The reason of advancement of these countries are the contribution of scientists and engineers in economic fields.

- Moreover, I think the contribution of scientists and engineerstheir contributions are always the high esteem (valid)highly regarded in their countries, as in the case whenwhere I was studying the history of countries, numerous of scientists and engineers have a good mental in mybrilliant mind.

- Another point worth considering is the fact that a powerful society is also related to the contribution of scientists and engineers .

- forFor instance the countries that have a high contactregard forbetween scientists and engineers have successful in the military force such as the united states, Russia and china.

- Finally, I would like to say that I thinkthe societies of rich to contain the contribution of scientists and engineers, like I could mention China, in this country got 60 percent of revenue by business which they were the result of contribution of scientists and engineers.

- In order to wrap up I would like to reiterate that I think in any society, theThe contributions of scientists and engineers are more important than the contributions of artists and writers. should be agree with the statement.

I would like to add this last few words if I may;

Nevertheless, every person that belongs to a society, professional and non professional alike, are great contributors of building a nation. Every single day is a chance for us to be able to contribute and make a difference.

Naph, I have a few points for you;

- the essay is okay, you have a point, but sending a message across your readers may not be an easy task more so that this is a TOEFL essay for you, so keep on writing and read more to enhance your vocabulary.

- sentence construction, your sentences are very long and your loosing your point in the end, I suggest that you be mindful of using your punctuation marks and know when to separate your thoughts.

- word usage, you repeat your words many times in this essay, so many times that as a reader I don't see any necessity in doing so and in the end they are already misleading.

- logic and flow of ideas, you were jumping from one idea the other, you already lost your readers in the first paragraph of the essay and that's not good.

- I suggest re - writing your essay, proof read it and post it back here on EF so we can further help out.

Keep writing.
