Writing Feedback / TOEFL: HOW TO BE A QUALIFIED CO-WORKER? [3]

hi
I guess you are preparing for IELTS or TOEFL. If so you need to be very mindful about time management because time has a major bearing on such writing task. In that case, your essay looks abit more lengthy. If you can handle time, then no issue. :)

Writing Feedback / TOEFL: PEOPLE WHO CANT ACCEPT CRITISISM ARE NOT GOOD TEAM PLAYERS [2]

I wish you started this essay with a more meaningful statement. Get more help from your prompt and Introduce your topic more effectively. Don't crowd your sentences with too many word. For example, "basically" and "personally" together sound too crowded. :(

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Richer nations shoul assist poorer nation in their development efforts? [2]

Yes.... I can see you have excellent writing skills. You only need to pay attention to time management and essay structure. I prefer if you stated your opinion in theb introduction itself. That helps you to take your examiner in your desired direction. Also, in the body paras give reasons as to why you hold that opinion. (1 reason per para). Then support your reason with a specific example. Always keep a proper alignment with what your prompt asks. In this case, it is whether you agree or disagree.

If these things are met, you can easily go for your dream band ;)

Writing Feedback / Are rich people generally more happy than poor people? [5]

Hi :)
I think your topic is very interesing and you can write a great essay with it. First define what is happiness and the fators that contribute to it. In my view it is a mental state and people are differently receptive to these factors. You can use many real life examples in this essay to convince the reader on your argument. Of course there are many rich people who were extremely unhappy and even committed suicidewith depression.

Also there are people who lived with bare minimum, but they were happy and contended. Mahathma Gandhi and Mother Theresa are good examples.

You need improve clarity and presrntation of your introducion;
There are so many differences in education sysems of different countries. Some counties have more advance systems compared to others. Therefore, many people believe that stdying abroad is a better option when the home country does not provide such quality education. I strongly agree with this idea.

Writing Feedback / Governments money for artsists; 'Artists have been seen as talented people' [7]

Artists have been seen as talented people.

Artists are gifted people with creative talents that help sooth others emotions and feelings.

government should have incentivestofor them while others

As shall I debate

As I shall debate

, this essay is a whole picture depicting why government should not spend more money on artist is better.

.... this needs improvement in its presentation.

it is deniable that the number of artist people is a minority in our society

.... you mean to say there are many artists in our society or otherwise? .... the phrase "it is deniable" does confuse what you try to convey.... Try and avoid crowding your sentences with too many phrases and words.... Present ideas in more simpler, yet interesting way.

Hi, First, please select "Writing Feedback" forum for all IELTS topics. Second, you need too have a meaningful topic in the subject field that describes your essay when you make a post. These are forum rules and please follow them in your next essays.

I am writing this letter to notify you that I won't be able to take part in next week's practice sessions as well as qualify sessions which are scheduled on next weekend.

... here the part "next weekend" seems getting repeated.

As you are aware with my dedication and commitment towards my team and love for football

.... your start with "As" leaves this sentences incomplete. You need to add something to this to make it complete or you should not have "As";

You are aware of my love for football and my dedication and commitment towards our team.

Nowadays, the spread of diffrent technological tools across the world has immensly influensed the behaviors of a huge number of people .

... technology has literary influenced everybody's life and therefore you can keep this very general

.really remarkable is the fact that the excessive use of this tools can develop into an addiction

.... You need to start your sentences with capital letters. It's important that you do it during your practice sesssions (I guess you prepare for IELTS or TOEFL) because you would loose marks for such simple errors.

Overall, this island has experience significant changes with the introduction of new tourist facilities.

To begin with, the first map describes the land before construction with only trees in the east and the west of the land.

In summaries, you need to skim the essesence for writing. So you need to cut down addtitional phrases and words which do not directly cotribute to the idea. You can certainly do away with "To begin with".

Writing Feedback / Factors which influence a good movie ( your opinions ) [4]

First, you should post this type of essays under the "Writing Feedback" forum. Second, I beleive that you are preparing for IELTS or TOEFL and also your topic is the prompt of this task. So, I am giving my comments based on my assumption;

After enjoying a movie, many people don't criticize much about how excellent it is and simply the quality of this movie depends mainly on human's feeling.

... Here you have two seperate ideas and I always recommend to have two different sentences for different ideas. So I feel you better split this line into two.

Many people do not ciritize the movies after they enjoyed watching them. In fact, the quality of movies depend on how strong they can influence human feelings.

If audiences feel satisfied and good

... yes of course :)
If the audience feels satisfied and contented .... your way is not wrong, but I think this sounds better because you give more emphasis on to audience.

This is a very good essay.... You display very good writing skills; grammar, vocabulary, ideas, structure :)
I think you don't you need not to worry about this task at all :)

Undergraduate / Thoughts on Transfer Supplement Essay SUNY Old Westbury [2]

Upon entering the College at Old Westbury, I believe I have a good idea of what challenges I expect to face and how to overcome.As a transfer student, there will be many challenges that I will face such as the fact that I will be in a completely new environment that will be filled with new people and different experiences.

.... this second line is very close in its idea to the first. You better combine the two into one line.

Socially it may be difficult to start all over.

... good

As freshman, there are many opportunities for students to get to know many new and different people, but as a transfer student there might not be as many opportunities out there.

Although there are many opportunities for freshman to network with others, transfer students would have limitations in that respect.

Coming from a college where I am accustomed to seeing such familiar faces everyday on campus, to a college where not only am I unfamiliar with the people but also all the buildings on campus will be very difficult.

.... I feel you better say something more logical than this. These are very general challenges for an undergraduate. But as a transfer student you may be having issues with a new curriculum as well which demands you to have lots of support from your colleagues. So that would be a big challenge for you to suddenly form friendships with new set of people who have joined the campus before you and already got into cliques.

Writing Feedback / IELTS - good changes can be brought in life without major difficulties. [6]

People naturally resist making change in their lives. What kind of problems cans this cause?

Your prompt suggests that people do not like to change and what problems this attitude can create for them. However, you seem to be in a different track;

Sometimes, changes in lifestyle can lead to various issues in lives and cause unlikely effects.

In my view, this is not what your prompt suggests. What it suggests is that how people be affected negatively when they resist change. So, you need to align your writing accordingly. For example, you talk about moving to new places. You have to put this idea like this;

When people resist change, they may not be able to progress any further in life. For example, suppose a person needs to take up his new job in a city far away from home station. If he is not ready to take up this challenge, then it he would surely be deprived from his promotion and may have his career path stagnated.

Writing Feedback / "The words like Justice only exist in dictionaries"; Rich men have no fault [2]

We all came in world with labels of rich and poor on our head.

We all live in this world with labels such as "Rich" and "Poor" pasted on us.

Perhaps along with genes that we inherit from parents the life we going to lead is also inherited.

.... this is not very clearly expressed. Better rephrase.

The words like Justice only exist in dictionaries (stop here) made for poor where they have to be cautious about the right path and be afraid of committing any sin.

The words like "Justice" only exist in dictionaries. The poor people should be cautious about doing wrong because the law applies to them strictly.

Writing Feedback / Teacher should relate well with students than having an excellent knowledge. [5]

A person who teaches various types of colours to his student might be ubiquitous but a person who can show and explain a blind man the beauty of colours are divine n rare to find.

..."n"? ... well, still you cannot write essays in sms language :D
Also, I feel this is not a strong opening sentence. It sounds very vague and your idea does not flow very clearly.

It seems as though you are trying very hard to use "higher" level vocabulary, but by doing so you are sacrificing the flow of your sentences.

... GatorFan28 is correct. Don't crowd your sentences with too many key words. Most important thing is clarity and flow. They both get affected if you try to lengthen your sentences wit too many big words. :)

Writing Feedback / Some say that the internet is making the world smaller by bringing people together [3]

Thus some people believe that the internet can make the world smaller by reducing communication gaps among us.

....when you say "communication gap" it has a much broader meaning than talking about communication between people. Here you need to show how the Internet can bring people together.

Therefore some people believe that the Internet is capable of making the world smaller by bringing people together irrespective of geographical or time barriers.

First of all, to business , the internet havehas given business people a much more chances to manage relationship with their customers and clients more effective and quickly.

First, the Internet has provided businesses with many opportunities to get connected with their customers, suppliers, buyers, staff etc.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL: I think that there are still a lot of different types of movies [3]

The saying " I think there is too much violence in movies" is stating that the film industry is heading toward violent movies making nowadays

... you need to improve this sentence;
The saying " I think there is too much violence in movies" implies that the film industry is heading towards making only violent movies.

few of them hashave strong or violent scenes in them

Why don't you directly express your opinion? For example, " However, I disagree with this statement because xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" . That aligns your writing better with your topic.

and from their names we can see that strong scenes, like car chase, explosions, and more are important parts of the movie's plot, and that it is somewhat necessary

.... and as this category name suggests, these movies consist of many violent actions such as car chase, explosions, plots etc.

Writing Feedback / GRE: Mason City residents & Water sports - Argumentive Essay [3]

Water sports might be the favourite recreational activity of mason city citizens according to the surveys but, ironically, mason river flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits (as the author quotes).

.... but according to the author, mason river flowing through the city is rarely used for these pursuits.

hence,Hence the devotion of a little of the city park department's fund can be justified.

It justifies the small allocation of funds to the maintenance of maintaining riverside recreational facilities by the city park department.

Residents of Mason city constantly complain for the quality of river water and the river's smell but that does not ensue the increased use of the river for water sports at all.

Although t her residents of Mason city have been complaining about the low quality of river water and its smell for years, this does not prove that river has been extensively used to water sports.

I am one of those unlucky children who were not raised in a home with a mother and father.

I too belong to that category of children who did not have the luxury of complete families.

I did not get the luxury of witnessing a partnership between two people who love each other, a bond that would help each other prosper even in their time of need.

I never had the pleasure of experiencing the love between my parent and feeling secured in an hour of need.

Instead I witnessed the hardships of a struggling mother, attempting to raise two children on her own.

Instead, I grew up watching my mother's endless struggles to raise me and my brother (or sis)

Scholarship / I lived a dream of studying abroad;Why you need funds?Why you want this scholarship? [4]

:)
Here's some more help ;)
Add this line to the previous para;
Yes, why I aim for a scholarship? It is because my family cannot support me for a higher education for very valid reasons.
Now go to the next para;

Considering my family financial situation, I would never have chance to study abroad without scholarships and loan. Due to the fact that I am the first child in the three-child family, my abroad trip would be a heavy burden on my parents shoulder. Therefore, I decided to take up a student. Nevertheless, the loan which is limited is not sufficient without the scholarship. If I do not win this grant, it is compulsory for me to ask for help from my parents, which is no doubt that would increase onus on them when my little sister and brother are in needs of money for their education.

.... You need to tell them about your family's hardships... Like, only one person is employed or the parents are blue collars whose earning capacity is poor... elaborate on something like that! ... this is the start;

I am the eldest child with two much younger siblings.
