Writing Feedback / Parents teach their children the most important and necessary things; they are the best teachers. [3]

From the birth to death, a person goes through different phases of life and faces many people as his/her teachers.

You need to improve the presentation of this sentence. There's lots of redundancy I find there :( This is what I suggest;
Everybody finds many teachers in different phases in life.
When a small child starts growing, his first teachers, his parents, help him learn how to walk.
They define your character in the society.
Focus more on the main idea and try to avoid repetition of ideas.

Writing Feedback / New way of communication can lead to some undesirable results by preventing direct social contact [3]

Such changes, in writer's point of view, bring about both positive and negative impacts on the social life.

Why do you say "in writer's point of view"? You are the writer and I wish you expressed yourself more directly;
Such changes, in my view, bring about both positive and negative impacts on our social life.
It is very obvious that you have very good writing skills. However, I wish you express your ideas more directly. Also, it is better if you included specific examples for the reasons you used to support your arguments. Examples are an important aspect of this task :)

Writing Feedback / Toefl: It should be mandatory for every company to substitute their old equipment with new ones. [6]

As many economiceconomies grew, most of environmentsthey also destroyed the environmenthas been destroyed .

As many economic grew, most of environments has been destroyed. Deciding between supporting arts or to protecting environment is difficult, but in my viewpoint, spending money to grow up arts is a requirement, but without a safe environment, supporting the art is meaningless. We need a safe environment to survive; we need to provide a health environment for future descendants.

Well, I feel you are not introducing the topic adequately. This is what I suggest;
Art is an important aspect of our lives and so does our environment. A company which is ready to spend money on either supporting art forms or protecting environment, needs to select one of the two choices. In my view, although spending money on supporting towards the development of art is a requirement, without a healthy environment it would be a meaningless effort.

Writing Feedback / Ielts: it is necessary that parents should be obliged to protect their offspring by vaccination [6]

Scientists claim that children under ten years ago suffer easily childhood diseases due to a weak immune system.

This sentence has several issues that include clarity issues and grammar issues. Let's take this part ;

Scientists claim that children under ten years ago

.... are you talking about "children under ten years" or "children who were born ten years ago" ?
Clarity should have first priority in writing. Make sure your ideas are delivered clearly to the reader.

It is proved that vaccine injection not only improve children's immune system but also help them to develop the physical and intellectual, what is more, apart from children vaccinated, other children who go to nursery and primary school with them could also not be affected by infectious diseases.

This sentence is too very long... The reader does not want to memorize so many details in a sentence to get your idea. So, it is better you write shorter sentences.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: Athletes are very magnificent and important role models for people in their young ages. [4]

Nowadays, there are a lot of professional athletes which reached big achievements.

This is a poor beggining :( You should begin your essay with a catchy sentence that is meaningful and relevant to your topic.
My suggestion;
Nowadays, there are many professional athletes who have become the role models for young people.

There are many significant arguments in support of public who are in the side of sportsmen.

Well, it is better you come up with such arguments first. I mean, you should open your body para with such argument and then support that with a specific example. That helps you convince your reader better.

Advertisements dominate the universe today.

The graph shows non-cash transactions by method of payment such as debit cards, cheques credit and charge cards in the United Kingdom between from 1991 to 2007.

Ok, this is your introduction. Then how about your Overview? Write an overview which describes the main trends of the graph to give the reader an overall picture about what the graph presents. Do not include any detailed figures or statistics in the overview and limit it to explain the main trends very briefly.

Are you within the required word count for this task? It looks too short for me :(

Writing Feedback / TOEFL: the part-time job can let students experience the real adult life and know more about it [3]

Nowadays, the difference between school and society is bigger and bigger.

I don't think this is a very good start ... The first sentence of your introduction, ideally a good hook, should be relevant to your topic. This does not contribute to a meaningful entrance to your essay :(

If students want to get used to the society quickly, it is better for parents to encourage them to take part-time jobs

I guess this is what you are trying to say;
If the students need to face societal challenges better, then they should engage in part-time jobs while studying.
The main issue that I find with your writing is the flow of ideas. You need to organize the flow more logically for the reader to find it interesting.

You need to work a lot on your grammar ... My advice for you is to write short and simple sentences until you get a good knack on grammar. Longer the sentence. more the chances for you to make grammar errors :(

Writing Feedback / a Table about proportion of female & male genders in sports [5]

Firstly, you should have uploaded the table so it is easier to check.

Yes, I agree with milamiller. Without seeing your table, it is quite difficult for us to verify the validity of your statements. Upload the table using the "Attach file(s)" feature in the Message block.

The table provides information about proportion of both genders who took part in sport actingactivitiesduring approximately one month(this is not very clear to me .... without seeing your table, I cannot understand what you mean by this ) in U.K around 2002.

The company was made between five different sport categories.

Writing Feedback / SAT topic: Is knowledge a benefit or a budern? [3]

Knowledge used to stand a dispensable role in the society due to different levels of classes, and it is even regarded as a burden by most low class people.

... Well, what type of classes? It is not very clear :(
Are you talking about different social classes? ... you better be more specific, otherwise your idea does not get across to the reader clearly :(

The significant change from the past that leads more people, even the low classes', became more aware of conception of knowledge, is that they start to believe that acquiring knowledge can improve their living condition.

Well, I think this sentence needs to be presented with better clarity. Shorter the sentences, more it effect would be. Do not write more complicated lengthy sentences as the reader needs to memorize lots of details to understand the core idea.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Essay Task 1: 'popularity peak took place in 1980' - Teenage vegeterians [5]

Overall, vegetarianism was more popular in the twentieth century than it is now.

I feel you better pay more focus to describe the trend .... Actually, the popularity has first increased, then declined and again on the rise. That's what you should have said in the overview. However, you should not include details in the overview such as figures, data or statistics.

Interestingly , there was a significant fall right after the peak (from 15% to 6%).

... Since this is about report writing, you need to adopt a more formal approach.
Overall, a very good attempt. You display good writing skills :)

I believe also cars are going to be expired in twenty years.

Here you express your view on the issue topic. So, it is good to finish your introduction with this idea. That would give a neat ending to your intro :)

AlthoughtAlthough both choices have their pros and cons, I believe it is important to finish your university or college before getting a profession.starting a carrier.

Pay more attention to spelling as it is also an important aspect of writing :)
On the one hand, the progression from an educated background to a professional success is often shows a linear correlation.
On the other hand, it is argued that only workplace can help students to gain essential experiences and skills that are important to perform their jobs efficientlyfor the jobs.

Good start :)
A majority of people claim that the qualities such as honor, trust and kindness are not valuableso worthy anymore, as social status and possessions have become an identificationmore important criteria that are used to judge the worthiness of a person.

While I admit that in some societies people are too materialistic, I would argue that the traditional values such assharing and honestyhonor, kindness and trust(align your writing more with the task) have even more impact on a personal worthiness.

One must note that brands like "Armani" or "Mercedes" have become status symbols for many people.

Actually, this is your example for the reason that you used to justify your position on the argument. So tell the reason first and then give the example to support that;

It is quite apparent that lifestyle of modern people define their status in society. For example, the brands like "Armani" or "Mercedes" do attach a certain status to one's profile in society.

Writing Feedback / IELTS :Some people think that professional athletes make good role models for young people [5]

The role sports stars plays in today's society have raised many doubts.

... Well, your essay needs a more effective start. Write a more interesting idea that has a better relevance to your topic. Also, your topic is specifically focused on professional athletes who are a small subset of sports stars. I think you should stay aligned with your essay topic more. It is important to impress your reader as you begin your essay :)

This is what I suggest;
Professional athletes are an inspiration to many young people.

However, while they have positive influence on youth, there are also potential dangers following these so called national heroes.

Well, professional athletes do not always have to be national heroes. A professional athlete is not necessarily be a guy who has won Olympic medals. He can be a guy who runs for a small sports club. You write well, but keep your writing more aligned with the prompt.

thanks for your comments and correction. I've rearranged the order of sentences and added a background sentence. What do you think now about my intro?

A few suggestions;

Studying abroad students get some experience which is not only positive

.... this sentence has a few issues... it ends abruptly , it does not deliver a clear ideas as to what such experience would help students. Also, there is a grammar correction - Not only goes with but also ... So you need to have two things there in the sentence to show how such experience would help students. This is what I suggest;

Studying abroad would not only help students gain a rich exposure and knowledge in their respective disciplines, but also offer them with important networking opportunities.

Perhaps, the major argument that is made in favor of this trend is financial (your sentence stops abruptly here.... you need to be more specific, otherwise the reader would be confused) gains that a student would achieve by such experience.

Another, principal argument that is made to support this trend is educational.
