Writing Feedback / Toefl topic:"When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has...." [5]

Definition of success is changeable according situation.

Put the word "the" between "according" and "situation".

However successful is not related to the circumstance of wealthy, its subject is about the happiness.

Put a comma after "However".

If we observe the successful people around us, we can easily recognize that this kind of people had a chance at past and they used this opportunity to have a good life.

This is a little messy, it should be written like this: "If we observe the successful people around us, we can easily recognize that these kinds of people had a chance in the past and they used that opportinity to have a good life."

Every year 200 thousand people enter this exam and only 2 thousand people can deserve to attend a university.

If you are going to write out numbers, write out the whole number, not just part of it. So, that should say, "two hundred thousand" and "two thousand".

Other than that, you have written an interesting essay. I would have liked to have seen more examples though.

Undergraduate / 'My dedication to music' - FSU philosophy; "Vires, Artes, Mores" [5]

The prompt is: "For almost one hundred years, the Latin words, "Vires, Artes, Mores" have been the guiding philosophy behind Florida State University. Vires signifies strength of all kinds - moral, physical, and intellectual; Artes alludes to the beauty of intellectual pursuits as exemplified in skill, craft, or art; and Mores refers to character, custom, or tradition. Describe how one or more of the values embodied in these concepts are reflected in your life."

"Artes alludes to the beauty of intellectual pursuits as exemplified in skill, craft, or art." This expresses no exaggeration when it says there is beauty shown every form of art. In my opinion, the most wonderful art form is music.

After my mom passed away, I was depressed and I did not know what could help me get over her death. I had just moved back to Florida and had no friends. I had already enrolled in the band program at my school, so I started playing music to help my lessen my depression. I was eleven-years-old, trying to teach myself the saxophone with this red book that my band director, Mr. Keon, recommended to me. Needless to say, I was never in the front row with all of the talented players in beginning band class. I always wanted to be in the first row, then again, who did not? So, I took lessons over the summer from the local music tutor Jeff, and I started seeing the better side of myself and becoming less depressed. It wasn't until two-and-a-half years of playing when Jeff helped me see the Artes. He encouraged me to try out for All-State and All-County, and participate in the Solo/Ensemble festival. These programs have shaped me into the "Saxophone Goddess" that my fellow band members have come to call me. I could not have done it without seeing the Artes.

My dedication to music has been very fulfilling and exciting. Through participating in the arts, I have found not only Artes, but also the people who make it even more beautiful. Ever since I have had a taste of the Artes, I have been hooked on finding it every time I play.
