I switched schools when I was in the ninth grade to join my rival school's JROTC program to pursue my Naval Academy future.dream

There I fell in love with the discipline, honor, integrity, courage, commitment, and respect that the program provided.

I was fascinated by the discipline,honor, integrity, courage, commitment, and respect that this program provided.

Also that same year the school board was looking to cut programs due to a shortage in the budget.

This sentence tends to break your flow. I feel it should have come earlier in this para.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: born with certain talents or not?; professional football player [3]

On the one hand, in my opinion, people can acquire any fields if they have talent

.... well, this statement has an issue... :( .... "people can acquire any fields"?
That part does not make any sense :( People may acquire certain positions in certain fields, but not fields... it doesn't have any logic :(

In other word, naturelnaturally t talented people can progress quickly and get improvementsfaster than those who do not have the borne talent, in the way if they encourage their ability though training.

Writing Feedback / IELTS : Contacting nowadays seems to be not a difficulty anymore; technology [9]

Pay lots of attention what dumi has suggested above in terms of the essay structure that you need to follow for this task. You better re do this same essay following those guidelines :)

On the one hand, many people saidsay that technologiestechnologyhave bad affects on relationships negatively. It is true that using technologies or thelike Internet, cell phones, laptops, to communicate is faster and more convenient. However,but itthey will become an obstacle between people to people if they abuse? For example, friendships may be faded away if friends just keep in touch only through e-mail, skype or chatting byvia social networks without face-to-face meeting and talking.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Task 1. Estimated world illiteracy [9]

The bar chart provides information about estimated observation in world illiteracy rates byin six different regions as well as bybased on gender for the year 2000.

Overall, the proportions showed higher percentage than previous one, started from developed countries.

.... what do you mean by "than previous one"? What do you refer to ?

Overall, the proportions showed higher percentage than previous one, started from developed countries. The most outstanding rate of illiteracy was in South Africa and belonged to females at approximately 53 percent. There were almost identical levels of trends for men in three regions, included Sub-Saharan Africa, Arab States and South Asia, about 30 percent.

This is not a proper overview. Overview should not be a detailed para (which you need to do in the next couple of paras). In the overview, you need to tell the reader about most obvious trends without much details.

Thank you Pahan. Can you give me some feedback about my paras and conclusion?

Further, by means of some communication tools, it has become very easy to make new friends. According to statistics, 40% of people met even their life partners via Internet. In this sense, Internet is a basic tool to keep in touch with old and make new friends.

Well, this is not really aligned with your topic though it has some relevance to it;

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology

You should have presented the same idea with a better alignment to your prompt;
Further, the modern communication tools provide online social forums where people can meet and interact with each other without having their physical presence at all. These social forums have helped many people to find their life time partners too. For example, ??????????

Undergraduate / What is your strength and weaknesses? -- "I am always saved by the last minute!" [4]

I am also a good and convincing speaker, as I am able to express myself well. I enjoy delivering speeches because I love conveying my ideas and thoughts to broader audiences.

This is what triggered me to join several debate competitions back then, and to my surprise, I even won one!

Just one? or several? Better talk a little bit more about that experience.

A lot of people also told me that I am a forgetful person. I agree with this, especially when it comes to trivial matters, like birthdays and important dates.

Tell the reader how you have been affected by this weakness.

Wealthy nation shares to help poor countries at the solidarity among nations .

Wealthy nation shares to help poor countries at the solidarity among nations. It is seen as the nation willing to do it not as the strict responsible to solve all the nation problems entirely.

The reasoning here is not presented well.... It is very confusing and cannot underestand what you really try to mean :(

Sadly, sometimes poor countries should be responsible for providing solution of in the field of their limitation.

This is another such sentence. You have to work hard on improving clarity of your sentences. It is no use in trying to display your vocabulary knowledge if such words do not deliver your ideas across to the reader :(

Writing Feedback / IELTS - Is social skill as important as good qualification? give your reasons. [19]

Nowadays, finding a good position is a big challenge. People are always struggling with their resume.

You should have had only one of these sentences as your hook. Both do not add much value to your intro. Stop with one sentence (I mean a hook) that can provide a strong and interesting entrance to your topic and then move to explain the background about the issue. Finally you should state your opinion :)

It is undoubted that people with good qualifications can stand out in career at work compared those who have no academic credentials.

Writing Feedback / Single career is an old fashion - 'being an expert in one specified sphere' [6]

It is good if you leave one blank line between the paras to give a better presentation to your essay. When everything is together, your paragraphs are not clearly separated and that tends to distract the reader :)

Firstly, economic and political instabilities lead people to situations wherethat they need to changechanging the place and type of work is necessary . For example, economic recession in 2008-2009 was a cause caused many lay offs ] of many discharges in different fields of work, and people without additional ways of making money were driven into bankruptcy.

Writing Feedback / Toefl - Language plays a significant role in our lives [4]

Different jobs and places require people to speak multiple languages .

Having mulit linguistic skills helps a person stand out at job candidacy.

In my view, schools shouldn't hurryrush to teach foreign languages to students in their junior classes for several reasons.

One of the important reason is childrens are not mature enough to make right decision about the correct languages they wan't to learn.

"children" is a plural word and there is no word "childrens"
child - singular / children - plural
One of the important reasons is that children lack maturity to choose the most appropriate language that they should learn.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: 'Woman'; behavior of children and the role of a modern mother [6]

You tend to use many advance vocabulary without having a good understanding about their appropriate usage. It is very dangerous because wrong words in wrong places can totally distort your idea and finally would fail to deliver any idea to the reader. Therefore I suggest you to write with more familiar words to you. Pay more attention to your grammar at this point of time. Grammar and clarity of your ideas are more important than vocabulary.

With a 4-paragraph essay, you are easy to develop your paragraph properly, one content paragraph for, and one against. This is good for coherence and cohesion between sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph, and for which in the five-paragraph structure this is weak :D

Well eddies, I think it is ok to give reasons for the side you take on in the 4 para. Again, it depends on the type of the prompt. If is to discuss, then what you say is a better way. But, in this case it is asking for our opinion. In such case it is better to state your opinion and use all your body paras to justify why you hold your opinion.

Firstly, everybody needs food because some of people necessary food togives us energy for living.

Secondly, Advertisementadvertisements not only promotionpromote food, but also it promotion aboutpromotes fashion.
