Writing Feedback / The Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Internet. Addiction? [5]

Hello,

When you begin your introductory paragraph (or any paragraphs, for that matter) remember to indent ;')

When you begin your opening it reads "Now days," when it should read "Nowadays," and when it reads "we face to many" it should read "we face too many."

I'll try to continue corrections in a different structure, I'm not too familiar with this stuff.

...different program (should read progams [plural]) that mass media shows (produces [they not only "show" they create) such as TV (television),Radio (no need for capitalization),Internet (no need for cap.),(etc...)..we envisage with not only (instead of "with not only," "through not only") advertisement(propaganda) (I suggest taking out "advertisement" and just replace with "propaganda") but also increasing development in (of) tools & methods (instead of "tools & methods," "technology") to easier access on the internet,such as ipad,notebook & Etc.(try taking out everything from "such" till the end of this sentence, it makes your point unclear, you're should focus on clarifying that the technology which the mass media uses their propaganda techiniques if increasing.)

one (should capitalize) of the considerable mass media is internet (I'm not quite sure what the rest of the first sentence means to attempt to clarify). as (should cap.) far as we know everything can have advantages or disadvantages (this is a claim, "as far as we know... disadvantages and advantages," however, there is no concrete evidence [research, studies]), so the internet is not except (instead of "not except," try "not an exception"), users of internet (which is everyone, but how many are addicted? exactly how easily can one become addicted, and what exactly can one become addicted to? can this addiction range from child videogames to pornography? Be more precise. Try to cite studies, technological advancements in general are often studied) could easily (become computer/internet) addicts with (by) surfing without aim purpose (is it really dangerous for one to surf the internet w/o purpose, and if so, how susceptible are we to these addictions? Elaborate.) or playing game (games, plural) on the internet & (never ampersand [&] in an essay [grammatically incorrect], just replace "&" w/ "and") it is really baneful (hmm, harmful?, regardless, this is a claim, "it is really harmful" and you support this w/ "because they waste their time and don't do homework," however, surfing the internet is harmful because teenagers waste their time? To some teenagers [or anyone w/ internet access for this matter] not completing their homework may not be a waste of time, so your evidence for your claim is an opinion which is not concrete or objective and, therefore, is incorrect) for teenagers,adults, because they waste their time and don't do homework.

furthermore (capitalize), the other thing (replace "the other thing" w/ "another issue," to clarify) that we are encounter is (the) abusing (abuse) of information. (The) Majority (un-capitalize) of the students just go to the (a) website and even without read (reading) the whole of article(the full amount of information [remember, your talking about abuse of info., not articles in particular}) ,justdrag part of it and copy-paste on the paper and submit it as their own homework,that is a kind of plagiarism and it is illegal. (they plagiarize, and this is illegal [no "kind" of plagiarism is legal].)

Now, about the content of this paragraph, you have a concrete topic sentence, the abuse of information (since technological advancements have made information so accessible.) However, toward the end when you begin with the whole the "majority" of students plagiarize, this is a claim, which means you are proposing this as true. You are proposing that the majority of (or most) students plagiarize. Now, I doubt this, and a reader shouldn't be in question of a claim because their should be evidence following, such as a study or statistics, which are usually the most concrete of evidence if properly cited. You need to do this otherwise your claim is invalid, look for studies of the percentages of students who plagiarize. Incorporate this into your topic sentence to create a stronger, valid claim.

Now, for the next ;')

In the other hand However, internet (as well as other technology such as television and radio connection, as you previously mentioned) can improve communication among the people of all world,(space)and provided (provide) the easiest way (most conveniant way) for people live faraway (long distances apart) from their relatives (or close friends, for this matter),as well as for poor people who can't afford ticket for long way to visiting their relatives & for busy students,busy employees as well(those who cannot afford alternative methods of communication such as travel [as this incorporates busy students, and employees]). Internet (The use of the internet) could benefit for them (coudn't internet usage benefit all who use it rather than just those who are "busy?" Infact, internet usage could provide those with extra time to become busy with volunteering and such, and those who are busy to become less hectic. Elaborate.) cause (since) they can communicate with their relatives (or family, or boss, or whoever) by using voice chat,webcam, emails (textual, visual, or audio-communication)(end sentence.) morever (capitalize) they could saving (save) time,saving time is more valuable specially for students (which is beneficial.) the (capitalize) students (or anybody in the academic field) of this century(currently) by searching on the internet library could(can, through internet usage) find (locate) the books that need (they need) in a(space)few (how much is "a few?" inaccurate measure of time, keep to saying shorter, lesser, and such) minutes, years of ago students at least had to spend 2 hours for finding the book in library! -- Now, after "minutes" what you say is not technically factual and you provide no evidence, therefore, you should just say it's easier to locate books now then it was before through internet usage, because this is easier for the reader to except as true, since not everybody had to literally spend ATLEAST two hours locating a book before internet usage.

internet (capital) is (a) source of many different kind of information (other sources of information), that information is benefit for researcher & student (which is beneficial to anyone (even those who do not directly use the internet can benefit from information easily gathered through online sources)(end sentence). the (capital) (correct) classification of scientific information is the way (productive) for faster analysis & (of) comparative (data). it is really improve the scientific development.anyhow (Nonetheless) in my mind (this isn't about your mind) internet (usage) has more advantages than disadvantages(no need for elipsis.)

as (cap.) a result the best way to prevent the addiction on internet (internet addiction) is (to) determine (a) particular (amount of) time for surfing (define "surfing" for the reader, to clarify) ,chat ,and the other time would allocate for other activity such as sport,studing (studying),communication in real world (unclear). -- Now, how does one determine these times? What if these determined times are inconvienant for the previously mentioned "busy student?" Consider these things. Also, are some things not worth pre-determining such as viewing movies or pornography that would otherwise be hard to find? Elaborate...

cause (since being) addicted on the internet (internet-addicted) make increase(s, plural) virtual communication between people who do not know each other (define "know" through internet communicate. Say, how long do two have to textually chat before they "know" each other? Or do they have to Skype for X amount of hourse before they know each other? It's difficult to define "know"ing someone through internet usage, which is part of the controversy. Address as many of these as possible to clarify,) and sometimes it (unknown sexual predators? clarify "it") is threaten(ing) kids,teenagers (what about full-grown men? what about middle-aged woman? Unknown predators are generally a threat to anyone, however, primarily, those who are younger and lack more knowledge of safe "surfing").thus,(cap.) the parents (or whoever is their authority?) have to control (by setting predeterminded times to prevent addiction which may lead to communication with unknown predators?) their child to prevent not only for probably threaten (violence) but also addiction on the internet (which may lead to violence?).

Toward your conclusion your thoughts and logical arguments become unclear which I attempt to clarify with questions. Now, beyond grammatical errors, try to improve your thoughts to become cohesive and logical so the reader can follow your persuasion without question, as you should answer these. However, you have very many valid points that, I'm sure once you structure better, will become even better and easily to follow. Good luck ;')

Scholarship / Lifetime struggles of an immigrant and how you overcame them (too negative?) [9]

I actually think it'd be written out better as a uniform essay, so throughout the essay you have as much knowledge as you currently do ( and have already overcome whatever struggles) rather than a narrative, just to lessen the corny-ness from these actual serious struggles, however, if you feel as though your essay would be better as more of a narrative go for it. Good luck ;')

Scholarship / Lifetime struggles of an immigrant and how you overcame them (too negative?) [9]

Try to find the general struggle you had been trying to overcome throughout all your other struggles. For example, was your main struggle being a minority? That could include your poverty and social isolation-- or it could be something else.

Also, instead of recalling every incident (taking AP classes) when you overcame one of your struggles, emphasize that it was you who helped yourself, while still including how you did so.

Writing Feedback / Morality of Vegetarianism Persuasive Essay [4]

Please review the grammar, form, and structure of this essay for me. It's not finalized and I'm open for any advice or criticism-- thanks!

Webster's definition of vegetarianism, not to be confused with veganism, is "the principle or practice of excluding all meat and fish." There are many reasons someone may choose to follow such a diet, whether it may be sympathy for animals, or their own medical conditions. Regardless, the reasons someone may choose to become a vegetarian, and the lengths someone may go to to follow vegetarianism, I feel, are personal, since consuming meat is not morally wrong.

As humans, we have the intelligence to decide for ourselves whether or not eating meat is worth the value of the animal's life and death, and the issue of the morality of vegetarianism lies within where we place an animal's value in comparison to our own, as we both are living organisms. However, in nature, animals consume other animals, or sometimes their own kind, for their benefit. Herbivores consume plants, which are living organisms, as well, but we value, say, a bundle of brocolli, much less than we would value a dog, while both are living organisms. As humans, we often misinterpret ourselves as seperate from nature because of our intelligence, but we should be doing just the opposite, and acknowledging ourselves as a part of nature more because we have the intelligence to do so. Moreover, this misconception leads us to believe we are above or apart from eating other animals, which is so relevant to nature.

It may be argued that, as humans, we should take advantage of our intelligence and modern biotechnological advancements and use these meat-alternatives to intake nutrients, primarily found in meat, that would otherwise be lost in a vegetarian diet, and that it is immoral for us to continue farming animals when these alternatives are available and continuously being improved. However, it is impractical to believe there are enough soy, and other meat-alternative, resources to be mass produced as animals now are. Second, it is also impractical as the processing and production of meat-alternatives are significantly more expensive than the farming and production of animals, and it may be considered unfair to remove a cheaper alternative for those who cannot afford to purchase meat-alternatives.

While I believe it is morally permissible to eat meat, the way in which it is produced (i.e mass production, contaminated facilities, farming abuse, over-consumed) is disrespectful not only toward animals but towards ourselves, and that animals production is being done in a wrong enough manner to become a vegetarian

Also, a lot of my thoughts are scrambled and I know this essay doesn't flow cohesively, but I feel if I just get some back-up advice I can further this much more.

Thanks in advance for any advice and comments ;')

Letters / Motivation letter for bachelor's degree in International business [2]

"During the past three years I studied economics in school and it was really helpful for me. "

When you say the study of economics, in your first paragraph, "was really helpful", it is most likely currently helpful, therefore, it should read "is really helpful." Also, it is implied that the study of economics is helpful to you ("for me.") and not another, so it doesn't need to be stated.

However, strong second paragraph with good background information.

Still, try "The most significant reason" or "A significant reason" instead of "One of the main reasons" as your second paragraph's opening.

Also, in your second paragraph you write, "'How-to-do-it skills'" -- when really, this is incorrect, as this isn't a quote. You mean instructional teaching methods, or so. When you write, "take part in real-life projects" try "participate in interactive projects."

When you write, "conduct experiments and how the real business works." consider dropping the "the" place "learn" after "and" to clarify things a bit. Also, try "functions" instead of "works" and "actual" instead of "real", as this also helps clarify your point.

In your third paragraph you write, " I like sport, music and art. Since I visited Finland I have been interested in Finnish music, especially in folk and metal. And, of course, food was really delicious there." consider, " I like art, music, and sports, as I have visited Finland and became interested in their music, especially Finnish folk and metal. Of course, their food is really delicious"

I really hope you accomplish your "cherished dream" to study abroad, and I hope my advice is useful.

Scholarship / "a blind curiosity for medicine" - Education and Life [4]

Hello,

You do a very good job with your personal introductory paragragh, and your content is fairly sound.

That having been said, however, in your second paragraph you write, "grow up one day" and "professional" in quotes, and while we understand that while verbally communicating we sometimes physically quote words to signify common usage or so, it's grammatically incorrect because they are not actual quotes. Instead of "I wanted nothing less than to "grow up one day" and become a physician.", try this, "I wanted nothing less than to become a physician." Instead of "trying to sound "professional" by naming off different symptoms of various diseases.", try "trying to sound more proper by..."

Thank you for sharing such a personal essay! I hope my advice helps ;')
