The table shows the percentage of electronic machines used by the British over about one decade from 1972 to 1983.

At a glance when we look at the table, one can notice that the highest household owned in Britain was Television from 93 percent in 1972 to almost 100 percent in 1983. The usage of vacuum cleaner and refrigerator increased steadily to above 90 percent by the end of the period. There was also a significant increase in the use of washing machine and telephone to 80 percent and 77 percent respectively by 1983.The usage of central heating climbed from 39 percent in 1972 to 64 percent in 1983. On the other hand, there were two relatively new machines used by the British, namely Video which had been used in 1983 by 18 percent, and the dishwasher used for the first time in 1978 by 3 percent to reach 5 percent in 1983.

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK1; consumer durables (telephone, refrigerator, etc.) owned in Britain [10]

It is amazing your fast replies ... big thank you
First... Znack
1- At a glance when we look at the table + overall Paragraph (No specific details) >>> Thank you for your note
2- The table shows the percentage of electronic machines used by the British over about one decade from 1972 to 1983....
Are you sure that this table shows the percentage of electronic machines? >> maybe , in the table it states that " Percentage of households with:..." so it is percentage , the second point I thought from ( central heating, television, video, vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, and telephone ) they are ALL electronic machines

3- "In addition, it seems that you had written about used machines but not about owned" >> well I said " At a glance when we look at the table, one can notice that the highest household owned in Britain was Television ..." and " the usage of .." and also " the use of .." I just wanted to use different words and not to repeat the word "own "every time

Second... Dumi
1- Fine introduction...
2- Overview (discuss the main trends very briefly) >> how should I have done that?
I tried to amplify the highest usage of TV,
And combined vacuum cleaner and refrigerator as they have about the same percentage
And for washing machine and telephone they increased by different percentages so I had to mention them both
For central heating it increased significantly so I mentioned it separately
There were also two new usage of video and dishwasher and I had to mention them
3- Details (this paragraph should contain more details such as statistical analysis, data etc.)>> could you give me examples, please?
4-second paragraph needs to be split into two paragraphs- overview and details >> Ok

Writing Feedback / IELTS; Both parents, father and mother, are indispensable to grow up a child [5]

"Fatherhood ought to be emphasized as much as motherhood. The idea that women are solely responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea that they are also responsible for bringing the children up."

To what extent do you agree or disagree?
You should use your own ideas,knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

Please correct it and feedback... and how much does it deserve in IELTS out of 9

Both parents, father and mother, are indispensable to grow up a child. However, more and more people argue that the role played by a father is more important than that played by a mother. Personally, I think that a mother plays a principal and crucial role in the life of her children.

First of all, the main role of a father is to work hard to secure an acceptable standard of living to his children. The stress related to such a pressure is ended by entering the home where there is a mother to take care of the rest, including, but not limited to, preparing the food, cleaning the house, washing clothes and taking care of children.

Nowadays, as women get the same rights as men, they are working at the same positions and sustain the same duties. As a result, it created another pressure upon a mother, she is not just taking care of children but she also has to fulfill the duties of her job. Moreover, she takes care of her husband in addition to her children.

Starting from giving birth after a harsh nine months of pregnancy, then carrying and taking care of the child, and spend most of her time with her baby while her husband is at his work, it leads to a strong loving and caring relation with her child. That is why in many cases children would tend to be closer to their mother than to their father.

In conclusion, despite the fact that a mother has more responsibilities toward her children than a father, the raise of a child to be a good member in the society is a long term process and it needs a collective effort from both parents.

I have tried again and re-wrote the essay .. Please I need your feedback and corrections

The table compares the percentage of different machines owned by British over about one decade from 1972 to 1983. It is clearly seen that the British owned more machines over the ten years period.

According to the table, the percentage of telephone owned has almost doubled from 42 in 1972 to 77 in 1983. There was a slight increase in the television owned by 5% from 1972 to 1983. There was a significant raise in the number of refrigerator and washing machined owned by (94 and 80 percent respectively).

It is noticeable also that the owners of vacuum cleaner raised from (87) in 1972 to (95) in 1982, however, there was no recorded usage of it in 1983. There were two recently owned machines namely dishwasher and video. Dishwasher owned in 1979 by only 3 percent of the British to raise to 5 percent by 1983, while the first record of the percentage of video owners were 18 % in 1983.
