Well, it is better that you have these parts separated in your essay - Introduction, Overview and the Body Parts. Accordingly, the second sentence of the above should move into the overview section. In the introduction, you should introduce the image presentation. In the overview, describe the main observations and trends very briefly. Do not have details there like figures and other data. They should go to the detailed paras.

Writing Feedback / [IELTS TASK 2] Children's engagement in paid work. Right or wrong? [11]

Well, in the intro, you support one side of the issue. So, I believe it is easier and more effective for you to keep justifying that side of the argument in your body paras. Then it helps reader to be convinced as to why you think that way. Talking about both sides can be waste of time in convincing the reader about your opinion unless your prompt asks you to discuss both views.

Writing Feedback / IELTS - Talent is one of the awesome things in the world [6]

Talent is one of the awesome things in the world and no doubt people who have talent are more better than others.

.... more and better are comparative nouns and one makes the other redundant. So you should have one of them only in a sentence.
Some people suggest that talents isare a gift from god (no full stop) while others disagree and believe that looking deeply into each others and you can find different gifts, it need only develops.

The latter part makes the reader confused. I really do not get any meaningful idea from that :(

It is quite understandable knowing most culture teach their young generation such habit.

This habit of respecting the elderly people is encouraged by almost every culture.
Today, however, the essence of this respect feeling seems likely to decline.to be declining.

One of the main reasons why the good respect in the past does no longer happen anymore is because of the drawback of non-educative TV program.

One of the main reason why young people are less respectful towards the elders is that the influence of the TV programs that are more commercial based.

Writing Feedback / [IELTS] Equivalent number of two genders in terms of university's learning [2]

. While many people strongly believe that some specific subjects...

This sentence is too very long. Longer the sentence, less its clarity would be. Also, the reader is required to rmember so many details when the sentences are longer and that makes him bored. Write shorter sentences and enhance clarity of your sentences.

The most important reason why universities should allow equal number of male and female students forin every subjectcourse they offer is that, living in the world of freedom, students deserve the rights to choose their wishful majors so as to pursue their dreams, beautify their communities or simply exploit the best of their potentials.

Writing Feedback / Ielts: Teacher is the best option for children's education in some aspects. [5]

As far as I am concerned, I agree with the view that the teacher is the best option for children's education in some aspects.

In the first place, school teachers are more qualified than parents in the field of education. For instance, to be able to obtain the teacher certificates, people need years of training at their normal schools to learn theoretical knowledge. However, in comparison to teachers, parents tend to have less knowledge to teach their children's subjects such as mathematics and physics.

This is very well written. You have justified your opinion here with a good reason. However, you should support that justification with a specific example. Overall, you have very good writing skills and can aim for a good score.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Office and technology / young people working - introduction paragraph [10]

Technology changes people's life. Some sophisticated technologies provide possibility for employers to work at home rather than going to office.

Well, you seem to be repeating a little bit of the first sentence in the second one. It is good to avoid that. This is what I suggest;

Technology gets people to change their lifestyles. This is very evident with advanced communication technological solutions that have caused a decline in the need for people commuting to their workplaces.

Writing Feedback / Ielts ; Why more people are traveling than ever before? [3]

Although the cost of traveling is increasing, people are trying to travel more than the past.

Well, there is a controversy here :( I believe the cost of travelling is now getting lower compared to early days as now there are many cheaper options in terms of budget transportation and accommodation. Many airlines and hotel offer very competitive deals to the travelers to safeguard their marketshare.

There are some reasons for this increasing which it will be discussed in this essay.

It is nicer when you conclude your intro with a sentence that clearly state your own opinion on the issue. The above line sounds a bit vague and it is not informing anything interesting to the reader.

Going back to college was a difficult decision for me to make. For almost six years I went back and forth with the idea of going back to schoolresuming my education and starting all over again.

I figured that the money I would be putting into a college education could go to something else.

I often contemplated on the money that I would be investing on furthering my education and wondered whether it would be worthwhile.
