Grammar, Usage / Which kind of form I need to use ? will be to infinitive/ will "bare verb" [4]

@burcuner

Which kind of form I need to use ? will be to infinitive/ will "bare verb"]

Did you mean "bare infinitive"?
If so, I would say that there is no structure "will be to infinitive". "Will be" supposes to go with V-ing, which is so-called future continuous. The Future Continuous tense express action at a particular moment in the future. The action will have started before that moment but it will not have finished at that moment. For example: I will be studying math at 8 am tomorrow.

Hence, will + bare infinitive is correct. However, it depends on the situation to use "will bare infinitive". It is to express beliefs about the present or future or to talk about what people want to do or are willing to do, so as to make promises, offers and requests.

Writing Feedback / Physical activity in Australia - Writing task 1 [6]

-For the overview, I think it would be more clear if there was one sentence refering about the tendency of age groups in the activity (e.g: which age group mainly enjoys doing physical activity)

-In terms of the categories, using specific name to paraphrase the age groups (e.g: the group "15 to 24" can be paraphrased to "teenagers and young adults") might reduce the confusion when there are so many numbers in the paragraph.

Writing Feedback / IELTS WRITING TASK 2: ONLINE COURSES NEVER BE AS GOOD AS IN-PERSON COURSES [3]

TOPIC:
Nowadays, distance-learning programs have gained in popularity, but some people argue that courses can never be taken as good as those by attending a college or university in person.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

That people demand different ways of learning has led to the growth of online courses. It is commonly believed by some that learning in person is better than online courses, I strongly agree with this statement for several reasons.

There is no doubt that learning online has various barriers that lecturers could not handle. First and foremost, the duration of online courses might be interrupted due to error connections that result from weak internet accessibility or overloading accession. Thus, the disconnection might cause confusion and lead to time-consuming during the class. Apart from it, mentors might not be able to observe whether or not attendees are focused exclusively on the class since some students do other activities such as sleeping or eating behind cameras. As a result, learning effectively might be impossible in such online courses.

Moreover, there are several obstacles that could not be solved directly during online classes. It is clear that some students might find it difficult to accumulate side skills along with practical knowledge in distance-learning because they could not interact with their peers face-to-face in order to gain personal abilities in teamwork, such as leadership or cooperating. Furthermore, the interaction between students and teachers is also limited in online courses since there might be thousands of attendees in the class and mentors could not respond immediately when there are questions from students. Therefore, it is considered to be an inconvenient learning approach.

In conclusion, I strongly agree that online courses could not provide effective learning as the mainstream classes for the reasons of network interruptions and difficulties interacting with mentors and peers.
