Writing Feedback / The clothes indicate what kind of persons we are - IELTS TASK 2 [4]

A proverb said do not judge a book by its cover.

Some IELTS students prefer dealing with a maxim. Yet, unfortunately, a maxim or proverb is categorized as vague phrases in IELTS. Why ? This is because the vague language brings no clarity. You are tested to use very clear language to show that you have a great argument. Here is my sample; Clothes are a prosperous symbol. As such, there seems to be a lot of debate about how dress introduces personality. Some people try to maintain their performance by wearing attractive and stylish clothes. Yet, I think that measuring people by what they wear is false belief .

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 1 - The Measurement of Parent Happiness With Children [6]

A closer look at the first paragraph shows that you have failed to present a relative clause. Instead of write "parents which" , you have to change it into "parents who". Following this, the first sentence in the second paragraph needs to be rewritten, since the sentence shows repetitive. You can write the sentence with this pattern: "while sentence, sentence." Still in the same paragraph, but in the second sentence, you missed subject and verb agreement. To solve this, you have to put "is", in between this and in. This will be "this is in". Lastly, you need to break the first sentence in the third paragraph into two, so as to bring clarity.

Here is the sample; Overall, while the figures for people saying that there were very good relationships with both supervisor and co-workers in both years occurred, both figures were recorded as by far the most significant proportion. In any case, the modest rise in both categories were shown over the remainder of the period.

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 1 - Relationships at work (with supervisor and co-workers) [5]

Although you have a very good opening paragraph, you failed to present a very clear overview. It's always better to write a 2-sentence overview. For this part, let me give a try; Overall, the data shows that while relationships with both supervisor and co-workers were very good in both years, these were recorded as by far the most significant proportion. In any case, both categories increased modestly.

- It was in stark contrast CHANGES INTO This is in stark contrast.
Although it is written in part period, you have to use present simple, since this shows general truth.

Writing Feedback / 'numerous plus points' - Undesirable consequences of an electronic media? (IELTS Task II) [4]

- There seems to be a very good intro. All you have to do is create no more than ten phrases as opening sentence. The main objective of this approach is to keep your message succinct. Here is the example: Cutting-edge technology could negatively shape people's behaviour.

- The topic sentence in the second paragraph is well-done. Yet, I think it is too long. You'd better break this into two sentences, so as to bring clarity in the flow of the sentence. Here is the example; It is true that electronic media, such as computer and mobile phone bring dire effects. This is because the users are motivated by self-interest, as their acts attract a lot of media attention.

- As seen, it is always good to shorten your topic sentences. This phrase: "Although the change, which is produced by the electronic tools, seems disadvantageous" should be kept succinct and to the point.

- The conclusion seems repetitive. If you peruse the IELTS band descriptor more closely, then you can see that an essay with some repetition hovers at a score of 6.0 in TR.

Writing Feedback / The figure describes how the air leaks can circulate into the house and goes out [2]

- Although this is good., some flaws interrupt the flow of sentences. Here is the edit.
The figure describes how the air leaks can(it's better to omit "can") circulate into the house and goes out (STOP HERE)which cause loss heat and waste the energy. On the other hand( there is no contrast, so you cannot even use this phrase) , there is much air leaking occurred in every room and a significant amount of heat energy becomeS useless.

- It always includes the overview, presenting the general view. Let me give a try for both intro and overview;
A breakdown of the ins and outs of how air leaks works is presented in the diagram. As seen, this disperses mild temperature due to the circulation. In any case, some ventilators allow fresh air to come into spaces, while hot air in the rooms is pulled towards the exhaust fans.

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 2 - In the modern world very difficult to have a healthy lifestyle [3]

An unhealthy lifestyle means more illness and more expense to treat those illnesses.

Well, this is a very good opening sentence. Is that truly yours? or you copy it from another site?

The first paragraph is too long. When it comes to IELTS, your task is to introduce the prompt with different words. It is OK to add extra information, but should form a line with the topic. Then, it is always good to keep your sentences short. A short sentence brings clarity. Follow these steps:

- a catchy phrase
- background information,
- thesis statement

After you rework this intro, I'll discuss the body paragraphs.

Writing Feedback / These days, in this technology era, it is easier than before to maintain a healthy lifestyle [4]

- I suggest shortening the first paragraph. Here is my sample; Modern lifestyles lead a sedentary life. As such, many people are struggling to ensure healthy lives. Yet, it is argued that regular strenuous exercise helps people immediately stay healthy and fit . As you can see, there seems to be a catchy sentence. Although some students shun adding such a hook when it comes to their essay, I think this is very good attempt to attract your readers attention.

- I like the way you present the idea in the second paragraph. However, some grammatical errors have called a halt to the overall progression. A closer look at the findings vegetable are..., various dishes, processed by passing a large number of methods have..., it consumes regularly..., etc.

- As discussed, too many grammar errors impede the communication. Although this issue also appears in the paragraph 3, you are not so much concerned about the supporting ideas. The clear supporting ideas should be followed by detailed information. To do this, asking journalistic questions, 5W+1H, really works to lift your score.

- Adding your personal thought just after the paraphrased thesis is the best way to avoid being repetitive in the conclusion. Otherwise, your score in TR will hover at six.

Writing Feedback / Parents should cook healthy food for their kids and constantly monitor their behavior. [4]

This is not the first time I review your writing. It is around 2-3 essays I marked. Did you peruse all my notice more closely? If it is YES, then you can see that this first paragraph needs more improvement. Your opening sentence needs a hook, as a catchy sentence to attract your readers.

This topic sentence in the paragraph 2 goes nowhere. If you think that "government" as the stakeholder performing a role should be discussed here, then you need to leave out "school and parental responsibility". Asking journalistic questions to create a detailed example should be taken into consideration, since the example given is to general. This latter suggestion also works in the example in paragraph 3. In the last paragraph, your task is to paraphrase the thesis statement. What makes students stay with a score of 6 or below is that they cannot develop the concluding paragraph well, since they failed to paraphrase their thesis.

Writing Feedback / Bulgarians showed not much intention to travel or stay abroad during 2001-2006 [3]

As it has been discussed in the previous post, I want you to pay particular attention to your overview, since this utterly affects your score in Task Achievement. It is always good to write a 2-sentence overview. Also, you need more words. If you write less than 150 words, then you'll get penalized.

his figure accounted for 70 percent in 2011 and the following a half decade raised slightly to 73 percent

this needs more improvement. A closer look at my sample;
This figure accounted for 70 percent in 2011, while the following a half decade raised slightly to 73 percent. There seemed to be a rise of 3% in 5 years. This is in stark contrast to the figure for visitors showing the reverse. 2001 to 2006 experienced a decrease, from 10% to 6%.

As seen, you have very good attempt. Yet, you failed to introduce what's in the overview. An overview describe the general trend. As such, you'd better shun using figures or numbers in this.

there was a decrease

It is always good to use more "adjectives" in this part. Remember that IELTS is vocabulary testing. Polish your report essay with accurately sufficient lexical resources. This may be " there was a marked decrease", for example.

Asia witnessed a slight decrease in the amount of population by 6%

Let me give a try for this sentence; "The vast majority of the world's population (6 percent) resided in Asia witnessed a slight decrease."

While,

You do not need to put a comma after while. This simple mistake deducts your score.

I am sure it is officially incorrect, since I cannot even find this word in the dictionary. Make sure you recheck spelling and grammar in use prior to submitting your report here.

Writing Feedback / IELTS essay: Age limit for retirement is 50 in some countires and 65 to 70 in others [4]

Most of the countires has the retirement age of a person to be 50 ,although some of them has the retirement age in the rage of 65 to 70.
These are applicable to public sector and private sector jobs.

Although this intro is well-written, I think that the opening sentence is too long. I suggest creating a short sentence with more appealing tone. What about this: The expectation of retirement age varies among countries.

Let me give a try for the whole;

In some countries the average worker is obliged to retire at the age of 50 ,while in others people can work until they are 65 or 70.
Meanwhile,we see some politicians enjoying power well into their eighties.clearly, there is little agreement
on an appropriate retirement age.

The expectation of retirement age varies among countries. As such, some people argue that a group of 50-70 still can be company's intangible assets. In the case of politicians, the retirement age should be more than that of the people, since politics comes through experience. Therefore, I believe that workers aged 70 and more can be categorized as less productive workers due to no improved education among those ages.

Writing Feedback / Violence on television and in computer games has a damaging effect on society. IELTS [3]

Let me rewrite your intro and conclusion so as that they form a line with the prompt given.
Media shows growing violence. As such, some people argue that large-scale violence in TV and computer are more likely to transform dire effects to society. While it is utterly acceptable, I believe that most people are so apathetic about media reports.

The aforementioned evidence shows that electronic media could shape one's perspectives. Although TV and computer may lead in violent behaviors, it is claimed that some people become less sensitive to the reports of these electronic devices. It is imperative that showing graphic detailed violence in media should not be allowed.

Writing Feedback / [TOEFL] Internet provides a lot of information and it is positive [4]

I believe that internet provides a lot of information and it is positive. In my opinion internet makes easier to people know about a lot of thing faster and in the most cases for free. On the other hand, getting information on internet sometimes cannot be 100% accurate .

Although you wrote a very good opening statement, some phrase, such "a lot of thing" look vague, and interrupts the flow. For this reason, I try to rewrite this.

The Internet has changed today's life. As such, some people are more likely to gain valuable information instantly from this technology, while others claim that the leakage of private information is one of the dire consequences. For this reason, I would argue that the Internet introduces people unlimited communication with abundant information and resources .

I construct my model of introduction with the steps:
1. HOOK.
2. Background information
3. Thesis statement

Since the introduction should form a line with the conclusion, let me give you an example as well;
The aforementioned evidence shows that due to the Internet, exchanging information is fast and seamless. Likewise, the Internet has swamped with information, but not all information is reliable to everyday life. Where possible, some efforts should be taken to make the Internet much safer.

When it comes to concluding paragraph, you need to simply paraphrase the intro. Plus, adding personal thought prior to closing your statement is much better.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL:The longer one lives with parents, the better the one will be. [2]

Throughout our lives we face various difficulties, overcome many obstacles and make tons of decisions.

As the opening sentence, this phrase is too long. Therefore, it is always good to write no more than 10 words when it comes to this part. You have to shorten your sentences so as to that they bring clarity and are more appealing to read. People act with decision . Is that you mean? Next, are you talking about the benefits of living with the elderly people? What are they? Write the merits with two phrases or more. By doing so, you make the thesis strong. Here is my model: I believe that well-prepared home food and shared household chores are the merits of living together with parents.

Scholarship / Explain the positive and negative effects of internet on medical and dental research [5]

Here is my conclusion model. I simply restate the intro. Plus, adding personal thought prior to closing the paragraph is always a nice try :D

The internet and social network brings immense effects on scientific research. While it is true to some extent, since the use of this advanced technology helps scholars gain specialized health information and cover widely research areas, it is argued that dependence and antisocial behaviors can be the destructive impacts.

Scholarship / Explain the positive and negative effects of internet on medical and dental research [5]

It can not be denied the role of internet and social network in the developing of scientific research. With the aid of information technology, scientists are more comfortable when conducting research. However, it also brings up some issues.

This opening paragraph did not paraphrase the question successfully. Likewise, the thesis statement is too weak. Let me give a try;
The internet and social network brings immense effects on scientific research. While it is true to some extent, since the use of this advanced technology helps scholars gain specialized health information and cover widely research areas, it is argued that dependence and antisocial behaviors can be the destructive impacts.

For instancem those who get stuck can ask for advice from other scientists around the world, as well as search on the internet for discussions, related papers.

The example stated is too general. When it comes to an example, your task is to present this supporting sentence with more details. Asking journalistic questions, such as HOW, WHEN, WHY and so forth strengthens your case.

For example, at Stanford's University in 2010, 32% of male IT lectures conducted online video tutorials and training combined with innovative learning and teaching techniques with interaction with their master students. The outcome of this study is that students are more likely to have a 24-hour free flow of discussions as a valuable element of their studies

People's opinions regarding attraction fee differ from person to person. Personally, I agree with that foreign tourists should pay more entrance fee compared to local visitors.

Good.Still, I think this opening sentences should be presented in more appealing tone. Here is mine;
Preserving cultural heritage tourism needs sufficient funds. Some people argue that international tourists visiting tourism attractions should be charged more compared to domestic tourists. While it is true to such an extent, I would also claim that foreign visitors have to bring immense benefits to local areas.

In conclusion, I agree with the opinion that foreign visitors should pay more because it is fair for local people and encourages local economy.

This intro is good. Still, sentences are too long and contain bulky ideas. When it comes to introduction, your task is to simply paraphrase the prompt as the background, and state a clear thesis statement in the end of the paragraph. a closer look at my sample;

Sports have an important role in maintaining people health. As such, some people are more likely to play sports individually, since this physical activity teaches them how to motivate themselves. Yet, some others argue that playing sports in a team promotes a virtue of communal work. Therefore, it is claimed that individual sports need far higher amount of discipline.

In conclusion, with all this taken into account, individual sports have some invaluable effects on policy of
countries and physical body of humans [...]
So, selection of individual sports for all goals represented above will be gainful.

Again, your task is to restate the introductory paragraph. You don't need to discuss new idea(s). Here is mine;
The aforementioned evidence shows that playing sports helps people stay fit. Although this physical activity can be done with teamwork, people are more likely to play sports individually to such an extent. Where possible, disciplinary action in sports should be applied progressively.

Writing Feedback / A gap year might bring both benefits and severe detrimental effect to students - IELTS essay [3]

In the 21st century, in several nations, most of the students graduating from high schools are motivated to spend a year on seeking a job or taking a trip before they begin a new life at universities. This raises a certain question about whether this trend brings benefits or drawbacks to the juniors. A number of advantages and disadvantages will be analyzed .

The highlight sentence shows a generic phrase. This is not good for your performance when it comes to the real test, since the phrase can be categorized as memorized language. Likewise, this brings no value.

In some countries young people are encouraged to work or to travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this

Let me give a try for this intro;
Teenagers are the nation's asset. As such, it is suggested that school leavers should take some work or go travelling, prior to attending a campus life. While the idea is utterly true, since this way helps them gain more successful experience, such as building tolerance and respect for cultural differences and conducting gap-year business, I would argue that stepping off the academic treadmill after high school would send them away from a formal education, resulting in poor academic performances and in wasting-time projects.

For some others, they argue that working with good salary leads to overall well-being, while others claim that it is compulsory to love their jobs so as to reach the feeling of being happy.

Some people argue that it is more important to have an enjoyable job than to earn a lot of money. Others disagree and think that a good salary leads to a better life.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Well, I think your intro did not form a line with the prompt. You need to rewrite it, with appealing flows. Here is;
[quote=Bayu]Nowadays, it is important to realize that an enjoyable job is important as much as the income. Good salary comes with hard work and time but it is not always leads to a better life. In my opinion, these statement is inaccurate since everyone should enjoy their occupation. While it is true that enjoyable job give more happiness, does not mean the income is only sufficient for basic needs.[ /quote]

Today's life is money. As such, some people are more likely to work with good salary, since more money bears strike resemblance of happiness. For some others, they argue that enjoying their occupations is the best way to reach well-being. Therefore, I would claim positive work environment leads to productive workers resulting in big money and a better life.

Education leads to potential path in life. As such, some people argue that parents are to force children to study hard so as to rank best in school. Likewise, educational stakeholders play an important role in sustaining improved outcome. As a result of these approaches, some children suffer from stress. Therefore, I would argue that parents and school should offer helps in order to relieve this study-related stress

hope this helps, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / Newcomers Dealing with The New Place [4]

I believe that EF welcomes all students with viable insight and sincere advice :)

Newcomers Dealing with The New Place

It is always good to include the complete prompt and write the essay types (TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, etc) so as to be more easily linked with the structure of the essay.

Here is a simple step to deal with an essay:
1. Introductory paragraph
- Building sentences: introduce the topic. Then provide background information regarding the thesis statement
- Thesis statement: present the topic, writer's opinion, and the outline of the essay.

Lets give a try for this;

Newcomers Dealing with The New Place

Almost everyone who studies, lives, and works abroad is faced with matters adjusting to a new culture. It is agreed that the problems of language and cultural barriers can be more difficult even shocking. Therefore, I would argue that personal training on language access and adapting a variety of unique culture are viable solutions to tackle this issue.

As it can be predicted, the following paragraphs will discuss two main ideas;
language training and culture adaptation.

2. Body paragraphs.
When it comes to body paragraphs, your task is to develop the outline in the thesis statement. You need to bear in mind that each paragraph consists of;

- Topic sentence
- Supporting sentences
- Concluding sentence/ a concession statement.

A closer look at model paragraphs below;
It is suggested that people moving to another country should get involved in language training. By doing so, they will learn to listen the phrases coaches use and to talk by imitating what they hear. A 2012 Harvard University study found that 27 Chinese teenagers sent to the US start learning English by combining words in sentences both spoken and written to reach the proportional sizes of common vocabularies in use. The outcome of this study shows that these people could have a well-developed second language equating with the US natives. However, some may argue that the use of translation technology tends to overcome language difficulties more effectively, instead of attending language classes.

Another common drawback of immigrants is to be accustomed to living in the host country. Initially, they are intrigued by all new perspectives of their surroundings. Yet, this honeymoon phase will turn into frustration soon after rejecting the new culture. A brief illustration of this is a number of Indonesian students who study in China feel bored and fatigue, since they are experienced with disruptions of eating rice with chopsticks. This will automatically change their dietary habits. As such, more minorities are supposed to take some action, if something goes unexpected.

3. Concluding paragraph.
As per the rule of academic writing, this last paragraph is divided into three elements;
- Restatement of the thesis statement, with paraphrased words.
- Summary the body paragraphs
- Writer's final thought; recommendations, fears or hopes.

Peruse this paragraph more closely;
The aforementioned evidence reveals that the impact of language and culture diversities is a common challenge for expatriates. Learning vernacular languages not only helps minorities create effective communication. They also need to strive for the process of adaptation. Where possible, immigrants should learn to handle the challenge of everyday life where they live.

To achieve successful writing essays, you need more than one try. Noted !
