Writing Feedback / People face far greater risks in our modern way of life than they did in the past [3]

The correction you made is just about grammar and linking ideas. However, the topic requires you to show "any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience", which I think is not present in your essay. Hence, you still need to rewrite the whole essay by adding your own examples to support the ideas. I think it could be better if you add 3rd paragraph in body part, which undermines the opposite points and strengthens your ideas.

Writing Feedback / People should speak a global language in a global word [4]

I mean you should show your idea in the first paragraph so the reader could easily get your points along with your essay. More specifically, in this essay, you seems to disagree with speaking a global language. You could say that in 1st paragraph, or people call it thesis statement which show readers what you will be writing about

Writing Feedback / People should speak a global language in a global word [4]

It's OK to use either firstly/secondly or first/second. Using firstly/secondly when you are writing an IELTS essay or in UK educational system. Using first/second for TOEFL essay or in US educational system. Other things in academic style remain the same.

Some believe that there should be use of a common global language, whereas those contrary to this ideaothers believe there will be loss ofmany different cultures and difficultydifficulties in expressing emotions and feelings. (What is your idea in this paragraph?)

Language has always beenremained a essential part of culture since the beginning of timefor such a long time . With one common global language, people willcould be disconnected and removed from their culture.

You should show your agrument for or against the topic in the first paragraph. In the third paragraph, you should show your agruments to weaken the opposite one then strengthen your idea.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: mathematics and philosophy are too difficult, so they should be made optional by students. [5]

Based on the ideas from your essay, you seem to disagree with the topic. However, the structure in your essay didnt express your points well since your 2 main paragraphs supported the both sides. In my opinion, you should perform the first paragraph as supporting your ideas and the second one stating the opposing point and the counter-argument that you make to support your main points.

Writing Feedback / 'to manage financial difficulties' - Students to take a part-time job while studying? [3]

I don't recall students spending long hours to apply for a part-time job, it is usually the long hours that they work. Your arguments are also very confusing to me.

Ok, thank you :) This is my mistake. I'll fix it later, in my essay.

They cannot learn enough social skills from their university life
They often have group projects that require them to work together in groups for a long period of time. You need to elaborate on "social skills" for working in society.

Social skills they gain from university isn't enough. They may be called 'soft skills'. I'm a student, and I am also taught many skills to communicate, present and talk. But these skills cannot make me feel sefl-confident when I really make a public statement. I think that I need to practice more in real life rather than only in university.

Thank you for comment!

Writing Feedback / 'to manage financial difficulties' - Students to take a part-time job while studying? [3]

Hello everyone. This is my essay and I'm very pleased if you check for any mistakes in my essay. I fully appreciate any help of yours.

Topic: Students should take a part-time job while studying at university. To what extent do you agree?

Most of students now are likely to apply for a part-time job while study at university. As an undergraduate, they always want to reduce the cost of living and gain more real-life experience in order to improve their abilities to resolve problem in the future. From my point of view, holding a part-time job is probably the best efficient problem-solving.

First of all, getting a part-time job can help students manage financial difficulties. As the matter of fact, the cost of life is always on the increase and students are still financially dependent on their parents. Consequently, they usually lack of money to spend for their living as well as their studying. In my opinion, if students take a part-time job, they can earn much extra money so they can greatly reduce the burdens on their parents. It is obvious that being in a part-time job helps students to continue their university life.

Second, applying for part-time jobs assist students in achieving experience which is not included in university. It is clear that students now are lacking of practical experience. Most of knowledge that they learn from university is theoretical and it probably becomes old or no longer to be used. In contrast, the life always changes and requires people many necessary abilities to overcome difficulties. I think that doing part-time jobs offer them real challenge to face and it may help students learn empirical knowledge that is missing at university courses so they have enough skills to succeed in the future.

Some people argue that students' study may be adversely affected by doing part-time job during university life. If students spend their time so much on applying for a part-time job, they maybe go into trouble that they do not have enough time to study. As a consequence, the result of their study may be worse or they probably do not have enough knowledge to earn a good qualification. I think this can be resolved easily by the way students balance studying and doing part-time job. In fact, the competitive job market requires students not just to possess academic qualifications, but also to own social skills. They cannot learn enough social skills from their university life but from real world. In fact, real life offers them many opportunities to improve their communication skills. For example, my brother also does a part-time job while he is studying at university. He can manage his work well and finish it in time. He also has many relationships and most of them think that he is very active. As a result, his position has improved. In my opinion, he can understand himself better and treat people with respect because of the wide relationship he have.

In conclusion, having a part-time job while studying at university may be the best efficient way to manage financial difficulties and learn much knowledge from real-life experience. However, earning a good qualification is still the most important goal. To deal with this, students need to know how to manage their time in order to make both two sides better.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL essay - Cars enslave us rather than liberate us? [4]

Hello everyone! Please check this essay for my. I fully appreciate any help of yours.

Topic: Cars enslave us rather than liberate us? Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Cars have been in use since the year 1870. Since then the number of cars on the roads has increased many times over. Cars now seem to have made our live easier and more convenient. Nevertheless, in my opinion, more cars give us much more problems than their benefits.

First of all, people must work much harder in order to afford a car. This also means that they have to earn a considerable amount of money. The prices of new cars are so high that they usually need to take a credit to buy one. Moreover, cars are not only expensive to buy, but also cost very much to run. In fact, the gas price gets higher and the cost of maintain is overpriced. Therefore, one has to work overtime if he or she wants to have a car and keep their car still useful. In other hand, if someone brakes his car, he has to pay more money for prepare than its worth.

Second, the quality of our life is made worse because of cars. There are many traffic jams every day and the number of accidents is on the increase. Consequently, people almost are getting more stress when they drive on street and feel risky every time. In addition, the toxic gases that cars eliminate pollute the air we breathe and this seems to threaten our lives every day. To make the matter worse, the main reason that develops the number of lung cancer is the air pollution. There are many people who die from lung cancer every year. As an example, I have seen a relative who always drove in the street and breathed a great deal of dirty air. He in turn became cancerous and his families get into troubles since that. Unfortunately, not long after that he died.

Some people argue that cars give us many benefits. Cars enable us to go to places and they are very helpful in transportation. What is more, you can go to any place you want, no matter what time of day is and if there is any public transport to there or not. In contract, people who own cars are worried about their cars being stolen or damaged. In order to cope with this problem, they have to install expensive alarm systems. Furthermore, car-owners have to avoid areas of the city where cars get broken into or stolen. In other words, they always have to find the safest places for their cars and this prevents them going to their favorite places. Cars really cost them very much time to pay their attention just in order to keep the car always new and safe. In my opinion, people are dependent on car so much. In fact, the costs of time, attention and money that they have to pay are more overpriced than the worth of any cars.

In conclusion, cars have many advantages but enslave us even more. Cars take us much affordability, threaten our life and worry us about making the car safe. From my point of view, I think we should do something to manage these problems so we can gradually liberate us from the cars and definitely enjoy the benefits which cars have brought to us.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL essay: "quick decisions are unsafe decisions" [15]

@EF_Kenvin: Well, can I explain this? According to Oxford Dictionary, The Academic Word List is a list of words that people are likely to meet if they study at an English-speaking university. We can get this list in this link oxfordadvancedlearnersdictionary.com/academic/ . According to wikipedia, this website write that:

"The Academic Word List (AWL) was developed by Averil Coxhead at the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The list contains 570 semantic fields which were selected because they appear with great frequency in a broad range of academic texts. The list does not include words that are in the most frequent 2000 words of English (the General Service List), thus many of the words are specific to academic contexts. However, a significant...(please follow link above)

I think this kind of word is words which experts usually use in their special subject.

I think in TOEFL or IELTS essay, using more formal and academic word is a great way to get higher mark. This seems to show our knowledge as well as experience well.

Writing Feedback / what can society do to assist homeless people? [3]

Well, you may have problem on grammar and vorcabularies. In order to improve your writing skill, you need to pay more attention on writing. Write as much as you can and practice in use of grammar and vocabularies. I do not use English well, but I may have some basic skills that can help you a little :)

First of all, I strongly recommed that you should have a good dictionary to use, such as Oxford or Cambridge. Next, do you use MS Office? Then, this software have a function of checking grammar and vorcabularies. This can help your writing skill a lot. And finally, I think you can learn more from others by participating in some English forum such as this forum. In fact, you can ask for help to improve your writing skill by going to the Students talk at this website. :) Have fun!

Scholarship / Courage to Grow Scholarship: The question is why do I deserve this scholarship? [5]

I deeply regret the life you're have. Living without father is really full of sorow that you have to survive. But I think that you can achive your goals and make your dreams come true with your great effort. I strongly believe that you can do it!

When you state a series of facts of your past life, you should use past simple tense in almost cases. But you can sometimes use present perfect tense instead in appropriate situation.

I grew up with just my mother and sister and my mother knew that my sister and I could behave something more in thismy own life such as a doctor or an engineer.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL:'history and geography'; working teenagers while they are still students. [4]

First of all, I really appreciate your use of academic words. You may try to use it with great effort. I also feel interesting that you use your experience as an example, especially your part-time job "as a local tour guide". I think that is a great and compelling part-time job you've done. Arcording to megiacodon, your essay is really well-done. I completely agree with him/her.

Most people hypothesize that the students have responsibility for studying well at school.

Even some of them contemplate using their savings to prepare for their future like getting married or studying abroad.

Writing Feedback / IELTS ESSAY - FREEDOM TO EXPRESS IDEAS; '3 Idiots' [6]

First of all, I appreciate your essay, because of the way you use grammar and vocabularies. You really pay your attention to do it.
Next, this topic is still questionable, so there can be some opposing ideas about Arts as well as artists. By the way, but, wait for a moment. The IELTS writing requires an essay with about 250 - 300 words, so I think your essay is quite long. From my point of view, the introduction and the conclusion should have only about 3 sentences. And I try to check some sentences:

- Arts is one of the ways that can be used to criticise social problems and government policies in a particular country.

- Furthermore, it is every human's right to be able to voice out their opinions in any ways as long as they do not cause any problems to the nation.

Writing Feedback / TOEFL writing - Are parents best teachers? Yes, they are. [7]

Hi, everyone. Please check my essay and give your advice in my essay. Thank you so much in advance. :)

It is obvious that parents are the first teachers who teach babies how to walk and speak and make children to become a good person. Moreover, parents provide their children the best social skills and knowledge in order to prepare for their children's future life.

First, children are taught basic things, which influence their whole life, by their parents. As a baby, they do not know any thing all around but they learn everything from their parents. Parents always try to explain and describe tenderly all things in simple way so that their baby can understand and learn from that. Consequently, parents bring the whole world of wonderful and colorful thing into their baby's little mind.

Second, parents train their child how to become a good person. They always make their children basically say thanks and apology in the right way. On the one hand, it is common that they try to explain who is a good or bad person. On the other hand, children are shown how to behave well with others. This seems to be easy but this can influence positively their future children and makes children's behavior better before they face the real world.

Third, it is clear that parents are ones who loves their children most and always take care of their children. Thus, they tend to provide the best knowledge and advice from their experience for children. Unlike a professional, parents always support children and give them much social skill so they can communicate well with others and have good habit in life. In fact, parents' support is one factor which makes people succeed in their life.

In conclusion, parents are really the best teachers who give us much knowledge and advice. Based on love, they always try their best to make good condition for their children development in order to prepare children's future life.

Writing Feedback / IELT writing: who should teach children to be good member of society? [4]

@w_even: Okei, I completely agree with you. The question say that: "Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.", so we need to mention both these views and also need to show our point in conclusion. But, as you know, I give my respect to Paul's essay and don't change any thing at his writing. And I admit that I don't use English well, so I can make some mistake when I comment on other's writing. But I've done as well as I can and I check it as far as I know. So if I made any mistake, please forgive me and accept my apologize.

Writing Feedback / Topic: "Why go to university?" - making dreams come true? [2]

Hello, every one! This is the first time I've taken part in this forum. I wanna write an essay with topic: "Why go to university?". I know that there are numerous essays on this forum which has also a topic like that. But I write it on my own, so I'm very grateful if you help me. Thank you so much in advance! :)

Why go to university?

Great deals of student go to universities per year in order to have a healthy and active environment, obtain knowledge and acquire a degree. Thus, it is essential to apply to university when students want to have a better future.

First, universities provide a healthy and active environment for students' development. On campus life, there are many people such as friends and professors that students can meet every day so they can communicate with each other. Therefore their social skills will be improved directly. Moreover, many outdoor activities are run and series of lecture are delivered, so almost students can make their character and behavior better. This can be the best chance for students to improve their social skills.

Second, universities run many courses for students such as research, experiment and exercises. In university, students will be taught by professors who have high qualification, so they can be provided the best knowledge about science as well as society. In addition, the professors hold many discussions and students have to work with their partner in order to solve the problem of the discussion. As a result, they will know how to solve a problem and work with their colleagues in the future.

Third, gaining degree can be a key reason for students to start university. Because universities supply students with many positive courses, so having a good degree will confirm their skills and abilities. Consequently, graduates will have a higher position in society. Not only the university degree marks the beginning of success, but also it will commit a higher salary in the future. According to a report, more than 80% of graduates have a more than three or four times salary than uneducated people. Hence, university is probably the best place for students to make the future better.

Many people graduate from universities over the world every year and they are dedicating themselves to the growth of world. And almost of them are successful in their career and reach the highest condition for their life. On the other hand, going to university is the best way to make dreams come true.
