Writing Feedback / Social well-being could be reached by removing the charge for education and healthcare [5]

- Step 1 is to write Introduction consisting of background, thesis and outline.
It is believed that government funds should be channeled to the education and healthcare sectors (background). I agree with this view (thesis), since these essential services would lead to more educated people and contribute to the improvement in life expectancy even though some believe that this policy is more likely to infect economic system (outline)

- Step 2 shows a breakdown of the topic sentences in each paragraph.
Topic sentence for body 1: While there seems to be many advantages of this, arguably the most pertinent is that everyone is offered more opportunities and access to attend school to college.

Topic sentence for body 2: Furthermore, this will increase the extra years of good health.
Topic sentence for body 3 (a counter paragraph): It is often argued that these essential services will damage the long-term prospects of a country's economy

- Step 3 ends with conclusion, including a concluding signal, restated thesis and personal thought, such as recommendations, hopes or fears.
In conclusion, this policy has profound implications as it sets free. This system not only allows basic health for all citizens. There is also an option for everyone to be students. However, the serious consequences in economic structure are predicted to be disturbed. Where possible, the funds should be used more wisely on welfare system.

Writing Feedback / Some people think the extra-curriculum school work and activities shall be decided by students [7]

Some people think the extra-curriculum school work and activities shall be decided by students

If I am offered this question, then I'd arrange my essay into:
- Step 1 is to write Introduction consisting of background, thesis and outline.
It is believed that school is committed to supporting non-academic activities designed by students. It is agreed with the view, since this way teaches pupils to increase their ability to work together and to communicate with collaboration even though some believe that this will not meet the specific academic needs of each student.

- Step 2 shows a breakdown of the topic sentences in each paragraph.
Topic sentence for body 1: While there seems to be many advantages of this, arguably the most pertinent is that students have ability to work together towards a common vision.

Topic sentence for body 2: Furthermore, this provides students with trust and respect in communication with their peers.
Topic sentence for body 3 (a counter paragraph): It is often argued that extracurriculum activity designed by students is irrelevant because this activity is less likely to equate with the importance of academic study.

- Step 3 ends with conclusion, including a concluding signal, restated thesis and personal thought, such as recommendations, hopes or fears.
In conclusion, the idea of students should be allowed to design their own extra- curriculum is the most valued by some people. This encourages students to build successful teamwork. It also improves communication skills in school. Where possible, students should be scored for non-academic achievement scales.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: teens admire watching famous sports stars play and make them as their heroes [4]

Ielts:Do you believe that professional athletes make good role models for young people ?

Well, the question is asking whether you agree or disagree with the motion. Therefore, you need to state your clear position exactly upfront so as that readers are easily to predict the following body paragraphs. Let me give a try:

- Introduction:
Sports persons exert strong influence on teenagers. While this idea is utterly acceptable, It is agreed that sports stars as good role models come into young people's lives in a variety of ways : great passion and hard work.

As it can be predicted, the two following paragraphs will cogitate about great passion and hard work.

Still, you need to make a concession statement in the end of body paragraphs to show that you have other views. Here is the sample;

- Concession 1:
However, some may argue that athletes need to build creative spirit, such as social awareness and sensing, since it is believed that passion without creativy is nothing.

- Concession 2:
Despite this, some professional athletes both work hard and use drugs so as to get the edge on their opponents.

- Conclusion:
The aforementioned evidence shows that athletes are more likely to be the most influential person for young people. As good role model, their great passion and the spirit of working hard should be taken into consideration, since this is the secret ingredient for career success.

Hope this helps, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL: children should not only play or study without doing any housework [3]

When it comes to the problem of educating children, whether children should do housework or not has aroused heated discussion. As far as I'm concerned, requiring children to do housework is beyond doubt a benefit for both the children and the family for it teaches children to be responsible as a family member, equips children with necessary skills for independence and strengthens the family ties. Therefore, children should not only play or study without doing any housework.

Good. Still, this intro has a weak thesis statement, since it is not followed by a well-structured outline. Let me give a try;

Should children only play and study without doing any housework?

Well, this prompt is asking whether you are against or not. So, this would be: it is believed that young teenagers should spend more time playing and studying rather than to do some household chores (background). It is agreed that the first two activities bring benefits to children, compared to the latter one (thesis). Firstly, this essay will show the fact that playing and studying increase self-esteem and secondly, discuss how these activities provide a child some opportunities for developing social skills (outline).

As it can be predicted, the outline will be written as the topic sentences in each paragraph. Yet, this essay needs more ideas to cogitate about how housework benefits children as well, so as to present a balanced view, so called a concession statement. For this, here is some concession as per the topics above

- concession 1:
Despite this, people in developed countries believed that if children are given more chances to do some household chores, then the youth will feel happier, as they can make a meaningful contribution to their families.

- concession 2:
However, some may argue that housework is a great way to teach a child about responsibility, since the importance of keeping a house clean is a challenge.

In a word, children should do housework besides playing and studying. Because it is the basic duty of a family member, an indispensable process to independence and a key to maintain good family relationship.

According to the rule of academic writing, a concluding paragraph consists of a restated thesis (plus points of view) and your personal statement: a recommendation, hopes or fears. A closer look at my model answer:

The aforementioned evidence reveals that although doing housework leads children to become more mentally aware at family, studying and playing help them develop their internal and external experiences (the restated thesis plus points of view). It is imperative that these life skills should be introduced in early childhood education (a recommendation).

NB:

grade it out of 5 if you could.

it is an essay with a score of 4.
Since I work with a cellphone, my apologies if I have some problems with spellings :)

Writing Feedback / CREATING PELLETS - the sawdust passes three physical process and two temperature treatments [3]

The flow chart reveals how to make wood pellets in order to heat the buildings. Overall, there are two forms of wood before being pellets. It is also essential to note that the sawdust passes three physical process and two temperature treatments to create pellets.

Good. However, you need to present this in formal tone. Let me give a try; an illustration of manufacturing wood pellets using either pellet stoves or pellet furnaces and how it works to heat buildings is presented in this flow chart. Overall, the process of production for wood pellets takes several simple steps. This begins with the arrival of sawdust from sawmill and then ends with the distribution of pellets for sales.

Interestingly

Since no suprising data is presented, I suggest avoiding this phrase.

Writing Feedback / The government should take control of education and healthcare - IELTS TASK [2]

Therefore, this essay will discuss how the government pay attention from both of these motions.

This sentence did not bring any value, since it sounds too generic. You need to mention briefly what government should do in terms of solutions.

Education and healthcare are extremely important for social well-being. For this reason, the government has a responsibility to provide health insurance and all aspects of education. These aspects should be funded by government and free cost for all people. By general view, I would argue that these are a mandatory aspect of government to render equal opportunities for school and are entitled to gain free medical care.

When it comes to an introductory paragraph, your task is to simplify your words extracted from the prompt regardless of extra information. For this question below, let me give a try;

All education and healthcare should be founded by the government and free for everyone.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion

It is believed that education and healthcare systems should be free to a country's citizens (background). It is agreed that government should allocate more money to run these essential services (thesis). Firstly, this essay will discuss how free access to healthcare benefits people and secondly, show the fact that free education is believed to diminish illiteracy rates (outline)

As it can be seen, I construct my introduction with three steps: background, thesis and outline. By doing so, the topic sentences in the first paragraph can be easily predicted:

Topic 1: it is vital for government to provide free healthcare systems, such as well-equipped hospitals as well as highly trained staff to manage them.
Topic 2: an excellent education system is free of charge for those on limited budget. Without this, people may find that they are unable to lift their level education. As a result, it takes some time to mitigate the rate of illiteracy.

Last but not least, I suggest making a concession statement so as to reveal that you have thought about other views. This shows that you are capable of making rebuttal overviews. Here are:

Concession 1: However, some may argue that free healthcare should not be rendered to naturalized citizens.
Concession 2: Nevertheless, this may not be a problem for high-income families

The aforementioned evidence examines that the government should take control of education and healthcare. The people have to obtain the same opportunities and free cost from both of aspects. I am totally believed that it is innovative program to improve quality of people for bright-future live up.

Some sentences above are out of topic. You are not allowed to introduce a new idea here. Let me give a try:
The aforementioned evidence shows that the idea of spending a proportion of budget on educations and healthcare systems has to be noted as government policy. Where possible, the use of government funds should not be wasted on welfare system.

Hope this helps, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 2: Students choose to study English independently [2]

A huge number of students choose to study English independently on a self-study basis rather than attend a formal course. However, without the assistance of a teacher, students often find it difficult to manage their studies.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

If I am asked to write the introductory statement for this essay, then I'd start constructing my paragraph with the following steps:
- Background (see sentence 1 below)
- Thesis (see sentence 2)
- Outline (sentence 3)

It is argued that a mammoth number of students opt self-study approach when it comes to learning English. It is agreed that this group of students is more likely to gain obstacles to allocate their studies efficiently. Firstly, this essay will discuss the fact that independent learners have no time preparing a syllabus and secondly, how this might lead serious consequences for students facing a tight deadline, followed by a reasoned conclusion.

As this essay agrees with the motion, making a concession statement in the end of body paragraphs demonstrates that you have thought about the other side of the argument, so that there will be balanced views. Let's give try for the concession:

Body 1: Despite this, students with high-level performance in many developed countries, where this problem is most acute can access free online materials and will continue to study.

Body 2: However, some may argue that the consequences can be tackle if students set their goals objectively and work towards achieving their goals.

Writing Feedback / The appreciation for positive actions is the best way to teach [5]

Human is a social animal

Well, this opening sentence is not in conjunction with the prompt given. You need to replace it, e.g it is believed that teaching is the best way to learn

Therefore, I believe that praise for positive action is best way to teach. I have few points to support my instances.

I am sure that this is thesis statement. Yet, the thesis is too weak and brings vague ideas. Let me give you an example; this essay utterly agrees with the previous statement rather than the latter one, and will discuss the idea of gaining more passion and motivation should be taken into consideration when it comes to teaching, since this is argued as the best approach to encourage students.

Hope this helps, eddy suaib

Para 1:
Sentence 1 should be "... gives A BREAKDOWN OF the number of incidents WITH three different TYPES of crime..."
Sentence 3

the number of car theft and robbery cases in Newport city centre remained unchange, compared to the first time figures .

Writing Feedback / Information crime rates in Newport city center in 2003 and 2010 [2]

A few points
Para 1:

The chart gives information regarding the number of incidents in different locations in Newport city center between 2003 and 2010. Overall, the most striking point is that all of areas experienced a downward trend throughout the whole period in the question. However, the figure of crime rate in burglary decreased dramatically after peaking at the second year.

I think I should rewrite this paragraph, since the accuracy of the report presented cannot be verified. A closer look at my model sentences:The line chart gives a breakdown of the changes from criminal rates in city center of Newport from 2003 to 2012, a 9-year period. Overall, while the rate of burglary shows downwards, car theft experiences a slight increase. However, the trend of robbery remains unchanged over the time frame.

Para 2:
Sentence 1 should be "...burglary RECORDED the highest number of crime RATES..."
Sentence 2 should be "...the initial number amounted to 3,500 in 2003... before ITS figure..."
Sentence 3 should be "...this WAS SIGNS OF AN INCREASE RECOVERY TO the same figure.."

Para 3:
Sentence 1 should be "... BY far..."
Sentence 2 should be "... before showing a gradual rebound to the 2003 figure..."

Para 4:

Writing Feedback / The greater number of the criminal cases which are perpetrated by young people below 18 year old [2]

Trias, your essay does not fully address the main question/ issue. When it comes to the real exam, the assessors are more likely to give you a score of 6 or below with this essay. (See IELTS writing band descriptors task 2). My advice: always understand the prompt prior to writing your essay.

Recent figures show an increase in violent crime among youngsters under the age of 18. Some psychologists claim that the basic reason for this is that children these days are not getting the social and emotional learning they need from parents and teachers. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

When you simplify this question, it is going to be " Does lack of social and emotional learning (from parents and teachers) result in the rise in a juvenile delinquency ?" If the answer says Yes, reasons should be constructed, and vice versa. Let me give a try:

- YES,... because poor supervision by caregivers affects cognitive, motor, and language development. As a result, young people are less likely to control their ideas and emotions in a positive way, leading them to falsely believe in committing crimes. (this is gonna be paragraph 2)

- NO,... because biological factors have more considerable influence than those aspects. (As seen, it is paragraph 3)
By doing so, your response is in conjunction with the prompt.

Ok, now let's discuss each paragraph of this essay:
Para 1:
- I prefer starting my claim upfront, so examiners will know exactly what the following paragraphs are. For the time being, your claims is vanished, since the last sentence as the thesis did not bring any value. Here is my model sentence for a strong thesis: "I disagree with the previous statement because biological factors play an important role in criminal behavior of a juvenile offender."

- Sentence 1 should be "... the criminal cases... increase..."
- Sentence 2 should be "... showing teenagers committing crimes..."

Para 2:
- I think you are to use "adolescence", instead of "children", since the prompt is asking you to discuss people aged 18 or below. As per Macmillan Dictionary, a child indicates a young person from the time they are born until they are about 14 years old. Always, always, always perusing your prompt more closely, so you won't misinterpret the motion.

- We usually put a comma before "but"
- Sentence 2 should be "... prevent children coming..." As seen, I omit "from"

Para 3 & 4:
- Write " take it into account", or "take into account the surrounding environment..."
- "update education perspectives" drifted away. Rewrite it.

Hope this helps, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / The continued rise in the world's population is the greatest problem faced by humanity. [2]

This prompt has two questions to answer. Here I see you raise some issues to tackle the two tasks. Yet, your claims presented did not fully address the tasks. If I were you, then I'd write medical treatment resulting the rise in births and reduced mortality rate are the causes. Also, I decline to say that overpopulation is the biggest problem that humans face nowadays, but climate change. A closer look at my model answer; Human overpopulation is indeed a major issue, since this brings more poverty in some countries. As I see, better medical treatment as a result of the advanced growth in technology is one of causes introducing overpopulation. Yet, this is not the major threat to the planet in decades. Global climate disruption should be taken into account, since this issue creates more heat-related illnesses and deaths. Hope this helps. - Eddy Suaib.

Writing Feedback / Although we cannot emit automobiles from our world, they work destructive for our quality of life [4]

The first paragraph did not introduce any value since sentences constructed bring lack of background information and weak thesis statement. A closer look at my sample; Since Henry Ford introduced car, this automobile has drastically changed the way of life. In the past, people worked in village where they lived. Thanks to motor vehicle, people in village now do their job activities in city center by commuting. However, the use of this transport is believed to raise some undesirable consequences, such as traffic congestion, air pollution and highway accidents. Hope this helps. Eddy Suaib.

Writing Feedback / International tourist arrivals around parts of the world [2]

a few points;
Para 1:
If you have "whereas" as the linker, then you are not allowed to put a comma soon after it. "Whereas the figure for ... increased twofold... (Double is inappropriate here.

Para 2:
Some sentences interrupt the flow. Let me give a try to recycle them. Here is my sample: its initial number amounted to over 70 billion visitors. Since then, the annual growth has increased. The actual annual growth in the number of travellers fell from its peak of 90 million in 2000, to a low of roughly 87 million in 2005. This stands in contrast to Central and Eastern Europe. The total number of tourists grew gradually between 30 and 90 million from 1990 to 2005, a rise of 60 million travellers in 15 years.

I suggest reading model answers derived from exam preparation coursebooks or materials as many as you can. By doing so, you are of many words to write a lot. Hope this helps, eddy suaib.

The percentage of population in Africa increased dramatically from 4% to 10%, between 1900 and 2000. Also, a rise of 5% of world population in 100 years was seen in Latin American & Caribbean.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Writing Task 1 - Changes In The World Population Between 1900 and 2000 [4]

Helllllooo Hetty, a few points;
Para 1:
- Here do you need to write a 2-sentence overview. By doing so, this will improve your score in TA (check IELTS band descriptor). Also, if you could, then write intro and overview in a different paragraph. A closer look at my sample;

Overall, the most striking point is that population growth in the world increases significantly. In any case, Asian is the world's largest population. Yet, its growth experiences a dramatic decrease.

Para 2:
I strongly suggest breaking this into several paragraph as to reach coherence.
- first of all, finally (DELETE). you dont need to use sequencers here. Save them for a process.
- sentence 1, the next 10 years (DELETE) write the next 100 years.
- Rewrite sentence 2, as it brings run-on sentences. Here is my sample;
Initially, the population of Asia was listed in 60%. Yet, this percentage decreased slightly to 54% (with former Soviet Asia) in 2000, an incline of 6% in 100 years.
- Sentence 3 needs rewording as it has bad flow. My sample; Interestingly, both Middle East and North Africa broke a record as current world population in 2000, dominating 6% of total population.

- it takes some time to understand both sentence 4 and 5. Now, it's your turn. I'll check your grammar after your rewrite those sentences.

Para 3:
You don't need to write a conclusion in task 1 since this has been replaced with an overview. Overview is more important here. For more details, read IELTS band descriptor writing task 1.

stacy..., a few points for para 1 & 2:
Para 1:
- Do not write "relate to...", but "satisfaction is in conjunction with simple actions like buying things needed."
- Do not write "Due to this condition...", but "Hence, some people are more likely to take out a loan to buy more things since this leads them achieve happiness."

- Do not write "double think" since this phrase is uncommon. Write this: people should cogitate about how money spent.
Overall, the intro is good. You just need to focus on the grammar and vocabulary in use. Well, here I show you my sample intro which I believe that this is thoroughly close to the prompt. "Some people buy most things for emotional. They spend hundreds dollars to buy stuffs more than they need. As a result, a rash decision leaves them go into debt. To prevent people from adopting this dangerous behaviour, learning how to manage cash flow by monitoring daily allowances and not taking an impulsive buy is a must."

Para 2:
Sentence 1: showy people are more likely to go into debt since they cannot stop purchasing unnecessary things, so as to gain other acceptances. Is this you mean???

This task is testing how your skills in comparison and contrast work together in a paragraph.

Followed by the most significant growth from 1900 to 2000, Africa and Latin America's percentages of world population stay in the other paragraph. Other categories are prior to closing the report.Last but not least, it is always good to write a 2-sentence overview. Here is a quick change:

The chart shows the percentage of the world population in each region in 1990 and 2000. The most significant facts to emerge are both changes in population proportion and the area in several regions over the two periods.

These charts presented below compare the changes of global population in some areas between 1900 and 2000, a 100-year period, measured in percentage. What stands out from the graph reveals that the total world population shows a significant increase over the time period. In any case, the figure of population in Asia dominates a rise in the number of humans in world, although its percentage experiences a downward trend.

Writing Feedback / The two methods of collecting water for irrigation purposes [3]

Like writing task 2, the first paragraph in writing task 1 is the starting point to introduce the whole report. For this, you write well. However, you'd better try not to write your intro as close as the topic given. What I mean here is that you have to vary the words and sentences. Let's give a try

These pictures compare how people conduct water irrigation with different process. A brief look at the process reveals that a few traditional tools used virtually bear a striking resemblance to one another. In any case, taking account of some different steps to accomplish the task is a must.

Thanks, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / Eco-hybrid cars project to solve pollution and traffic problems. [2]

A closer look at the intro shows that this has lack of the relevant issue. Also, you failed to present a solid thesis statement. In the following paragraphs, you raise weak arguments. To justify what I am saying; the second paragraph did not form a line with the topic. Although you discuss the cause of pollution, it sounds redundancy because this has been explained in the first paragraph. All in all, I suggest rewriting this. Fyi; this essay has the same title as another student firda umairoh. Therefore, it recommends that you are to peruse the feedback I've given. Thanks, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / This illustrates how much of goods were distributed in the UK from 1974 to 2004 [2]

Overall, this is good report for IELTS task 1. Did you write it for 20 minutes? :D

The body paragraphs are too complicated. If I were you, then I would simply break this into two body paragraphs. I start discussing the timeline from 1974 to 1986. Then, it is followed by the figures in 1990 and 2002 using the language of comparison and contrast. Which means that all figures of transport are written in the same paragraph, not in the separated paragraphs like you did. By doing so, your report is more interesting to read.. Please rewrite now. I am expecting for its change. Thanks, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / The proportion of boy and girl students at schools [3]

Hi, have you read my previous feedback? Please go get them more closely, since the given feedback will help you polish your (following) essay. Ok, now let's move to this essay. Guys, what happened to your intro? This is not the proper format, since the intro presented shows a simple statement of fact. There is no room for in-depth analysis. Go back to your intro. Then, rewrite it. Oh ya, one thing that you should highlight is to express your point prior to ending your intro, although the prompt of this essay is not A/D type. By doing so, your readers will know upfront exactly what your stance is. In the following paragraph, some points should be added to make your claim strong. What 2014 recent studies reveal is that the number of female students is going to mature earlier than that of the males, since female are more likely to optimize their brain connections earlier than boys. Likewise, a quick Google search shows that if compared to the females, male students are good at Math and science. Yet, female students tend to receive better grades that boys in all subjects. I, too, have to admit that females are much better in academic attainment since sometimes in school I had to 'take' their homework as a reference. However, male students are born smart, although their smart brains go hand in hand with sexual desires. That's all I think. Thanks, eddy suaib.

Writing Feedback / The proliferation of private cars on the roads in many parts of the world has led to serious problem [3]

The number of private cars today increases [...] develop better public transportation.

Good. However, you need to rework your intro. Here is;
Car is the most preferable transport in some metropolitan cities. A study shows that the annual percentage of people owing cars is getting increase significantly. This goes hand in hand with the amount of pollution resulted from cars. The idea of improving public transport can be a viable solution to alleviate the problem of pollution. Yet, this is not always the best way since not all public transport offers convenient situation. In my opinion, government should consider to develop hybrid cars designed for fuel efficiency and low emissions so as to mitigate global warming.

Writing Feedback / The table below gives information on consumer spending on different items [3]

To begin with, the percentage of national consumer expenditure in Turkey was noticeably higher in consumer spending on food/drinks/tobacco at 32.14 %, and Ireland at 28.91 %. The proportion of expenditure on leisure/education was also highest in Turkey at 4.35 %, but expenditure on clothing/footwear experienced under in Italy at 9 % .

Please vary your sentences above. Let me give a try;
Initially, the proportion of money spent in national consumers shows that Food/ Drinks/ Tobacco records the highest of all, with 32.14%. Then, it is followed by the figure of Ireland where consumers are more likely to purchase these items, at 28.91%. Again, Turkey experiences 4.35% of leisure/education, and Italy spends 9% of clothing/footwear in the question of period.

Writing Feedback / What influence people's personality more - born-characteristics or their experience? [3]

Each person has their own characteristics in their lives. As such, born-characteristics in people, as per some experts, influence people's personality more than their experiences. However, I personally argue that people who have any experiences are more influenced for people's personality because people can achieve some information by surrounding they live in.

Some sentences show redundancy. I try to help you write a succinct introduction. For this prompt, let me give a try;

Research indicates that the characteristic we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in life. Which do you consider to be the major influence?

Everybody is unique by personality. The supporters of this argue that personality influences experiences that lead occupational success. Yet, I would claim that experiences are more important since they shape people's characteristics.

Overall, it is well-done. Make sure that you write this into 40 minutes. If you could, then I think this is good news :D

Writing Feedback / The advanced technology has given influence to the interaction way among people. [2]

Adhisti, see my comments with green, and my edits with blue

The advanced technology has given influence to the interaction way among people.

Good introduction. Yet, where is your point of view? As you know, this essay asks you to discuss the tasks from the prompt. It is the lack of introduction to your point of view that weakened your introductory paragraph. Rework the introduction by including your point of view.

Communication can be done by many ways.

Good argument. However, the way you speak of the Internet used as means of communication comes nowhere. I did not see any improvement from the discussion, since you avoid talking more details in this issue. How email and texting have completely replaced letters and telegrams as the key hub of written communication is more in line with your essay prompt.

Apart from the discussion above, such innovations have developed personal relationships. It, for example, is more easily to keep in contact with friends from schools who have lived somewhere out of home town, and this means relationships stay longer. The only negative side is that the online applications attract people totally get addicted and result in the lack of face-to-face communication.

Writing Feedback / The number of marriages-divorces and marital status in the USA [3]

Hi Guys, let me give you some feedback.
The word "generally" should be replaced with "overall" as the former one is more likely to be used in writing ielts task 2. When it comes to overview task 1 in particular, we use "overall" instead. This is the time to show an appropriate word if you think that you need to raise your LR.

If you have two main sentences running together, then putting and plus a comma is a must.

It is always good to write with linking words, but not too much. Try to train yourself not to use them seriously. Use reference words instead.

Thanks,
Eddy Suaib.

Writing Feedback / The budget of staying averages in two different towns as compared to the national cost-of-living [3]

Please include the picture of the graph, as it helps us understand what the graph is about. I have made some edits with with the blue highlight, and I write my comments with the green one.

The table provides the number of public expenditure averages into six categories in two different cities measured in percentage.
The writing above lacks for the clarity. I strongly suggest merging these parts into one paragraph so as that you have a good paragraph.

I have shown you how to make the sentence(s) more clearly and succinctly. Now you should present them here and show that you could break this paragraph into two. By doing so, this report has a coherence of paragraph. Thanks,

Writing Feedback / Ten-year summary on the amount of online sales for the New Zealand's retail sectors [3]

Stacy, a closer look at the slight improvement on the overview and the first topic sentence I have made. My edits go with the blue highlight, while the green one shows my comments.

Overall, it can be seen that while the percentage of film and music and also books increased gradually over a decade, the percentage of clothes' and travel's sales decreased significantly .

Overall, what stands out from the graphs reveals that there is a fluctuation in online sales. Travelling recorded the highest percentage in 2003. In the following ten years, films and music have taken over this position.

You have a good point here, but the problem is the overview is too short. You need a 2-sentence overview.

With regard to the incline proportion of this trend, in 2003 the percentage of online books sales stood at 19% while film's or music's sales in higher percentage at over one in ten.

The highest percentage involves a certain amout of travelling. In 2003, the number of online travel sales is about 36%. This percentage saw a marked decrease to 29% in 2013, a decline of about 7% in ten years.

Start with the most significant changes. The figure for travelling can be a stepping stone to introduce your opening sentence.

Writing Feedback / Pie charts on the degrees granted at National University; computer science is the highest proportion [3]

Where's the picture? It is hard you give you some feedback if no picture includes. Always include the graph every time you post your report.

Tips and advice for Double/triple graphs (IELTS)
Introduction: Write one sentence, but introduce each chart separately e.g "This first bart chart shows..., and the second chart illustrate
Short body:
Write 2 sentences. If the information in the charts is not connected, find one main point or general trend for each chart. If the charts are connected, try to make comparisons

Main body paragprahs: If the two charts are completely different (e.g. a graph and a table), write a separate paragraph about each.
If the charts are the same, and show the same information (e.g. 2 pie charts), do not describe them separately, the examiner will want to see comparisons.

Writing Feedback / Cost of Living Average in Riverdale and in Cape Alicia [4]

Rigarding accomodation sectors, cost of housing in Riverdale has the highest percentage at 19% , while in Cape Alicia only at -12.5% .

Stacy, it would be nice if you write the topic sentence with no figures. Let's give a try:
Money spent in Housing of Riverdale breaks the highest proportion, while this percentage in Cape Alicia falls to minus points

Tips and Advice for IELTS Task 1 Writing: TR, focus more on 'overall trends' rather than details. In this answer, you have an overview but this would be better used with 2 sentences like I did. Make sure you emphasise the key points in the overview, which in this case would be that, 'Overall, what stands out from the graph shows that the approximate cost-of-living percentage of Riverdale is higher than that of Cape Alicia. In any case, Housing ranks the highest percentage of all, while this figure reveals a significant percentage decrease in the second area. ' CC is good but I would advise you to have four paragraphs - an introduction, two main body paragraphs and a clear overview. LR is also good but there are lots of repetitive linkers and words, such as while and has. GRA is just good enough. You have problem with spelling e.g. "Finaly", should be "Finally". Likewise, the way you compare and contrast the figures is already done. However, we, the readers, feel tired since you present repetitive sentence construction e.g. ""While SV, SV/ SV While SV""

Undergraduate / My future goals - what to do in the future is a decision for the rest of our life [6]

Hi Federica, I think you do not need to present in-depth discussion here. Save it for the bodies. Let me give a try for the intro;

What are your goals for the future? Write your reasons, examples and details.

It may be useful at some time to think about what the future holds. For some teenagers, creating their future with ambitious goals is a must. As I grew and time run, I have started to think about my life in the future as a lifelong learner, traveler, and a family-oriented woman.

It is an introduction with a hook, background information and a thesis statement. Always remember to write a clear thesis statement here as your stepping stone to talk later. Then, write the following paragraph with a topic sentence and an example. I think three to four sentences each is precise enough to discuss your views; a lifelong learner, traveler, and a family-oriented woman

Thanks,
eddy suaib
