information technology

In my opinion, you had better start each body paragraph with a topic sentence. Also, the ideas of body paragraph 2 are not very convincing to me as I can't see either the domination of information technology in various aspects of life or how its pros outweigh its cons.

Writing Feedback / [TOEFL] Should we pay professional athletes (entertainers) a high salary? [5]

Professional athletes and entertainers earn a huge amount of money that is hard to imagine

It is true that professional athletes and entertainers earn a huge amount of money.

Most of the people spending their whole life can never achieve this.

while other professionals earn significantly lower.

-do those professional athletes and entertainers deserve this money?

whether they deserve this huge sum of money

From my prospect,

In my opinion

Therefore, those who are paid high salaries must exceed others and achieve something incredible in certain ways

Therefore, those who deliver exceptional performance are likely to earn higher salaries than others.

show ourselves

prove ourselves

how may difficulties they've gone through

how many difficulties they have overcome

how much cost

how much/the cost

Fairness is not about equal payments for everyone, but equal chances to acquire the same goal or accomplishment.

I think this is a strong point :)

Writing Feedback / students' next step: Should they travel or work for a year before university? [4]

graduating from high school

They are confused whether working and travelling for a year or starting their tertiary lavel education immediately.

I don't think they are really confused. They decide to spend a year travelling or working.

Both of these ideas have their points and will be analysed in this essay.

It is not clear. Readers may wonder you tend to discuss 2 views: "taking a gap year" and "entering university". I think you could change this sentence a bit: While graduates can derive some benefits from taking a gap year, there are several drawbacks that are worth mentioning.

Writing Feedback / Ielts Task 1 : % Change in price of houses - Bar graph [4]

In the first five years, Tokyo and London had least and equal average house prices, that was -7.5%. The average house prices of New York city was at -5% in same period. On the other side, Madrid and Frankfurt was two cities, that recorded maximum prices 2% and 2.5% respectively.

In my opinion, you should write about the amount of price changes rather than simply saying which level prices in these cities stood at. For example, "There was a decrease in prices in three cities, in which Tokyo and London experienced the largest drop by about 7.5%".

Writing Feedback / IELTS - 'slight difference'; The illiteracy rates around the world [6]

The chart below

There was a slight difference in percentage of illiterate men and women in the first 3 sectors while the rates in the last 3 sectors experienced a dramatic difference.

The first 3 sectors" and "the last 3 sectors" are somewhat confusing to me. Also, I don't think there was a slight difference in percentage of illiterate men and women in the first 3 sectors as the percentage of illiterate women in East Asia/Oceania was relatively higher than that of men.

It is apparent that more women were illiterate than men in all regions in 2000. Likewise, South Africa experienced the highest illiteracy rates whereas developed countries had the lowest figures.

Writing Feedback / IELTS : ESSAY ON DESCRIPTIVE WRITING FOR GRAPHICAL DATA [4]

The illustrated line graphs represents a comparison amongst various kind of meats eaten by Europeans (chicken, beef, lamb and fish) respectively over the 25 years i.e. from 1979 to 2004

The line graph compares the amount of fish and three kinds of meat consumed in one European country over a 25-year period.

Fish line graph starts off with lowest consumption amongst the four from 1979 at approximately 60grams/person/week

In 1979, fish was the least popular type of food with approximately 60 grams eaten per person per week. Then fish consumption remained constant for the rest of the period after a slight decline in 1984.

Beef consumption was reached its peak in 1979 at about 220gramsperpersonperweek, which declined rapidly by 30-40grams approximately in the early 1980's it then recovered rapidly in the year 1984 reaching its peak at 240 grams/person /week

The most consumed meat at the beginning of the course was beef with consumption coming at 220 grams. This was followed by a fall by about 30 grams prior to resurgence to reach a peak of 220 grams in 1984.

The beef line graph was erratic with occasional dips seen in the early 90's and then in late 90's at about 150gram/person/week, another one in early 2000

However, the consumption of beef decreased dramatically the following years, finishing the period at 100 grams.

The lamb line graph exhibited a capricious consumption trend which was diminishing progressively from the year 1979 to 2005

The amount of lamb eaten followed a similar pattern, falling by a half during 25 years.

Writing Feedback / IELTS; Competition instills confidence into the child's mind. [5]

Hi, Mohammad. What is the question of the prompt? If this is an argumentative essay, you should state another reason and give some examples to support it in body paragraph 2.

Competition instills confidence into the child's mind (hook?). Someone's attention, children are stimulated in the school to compete with each other is better off. While, others support, cooperating is helpful to bring them up to useful adults(background?) A sense of competition means the speed of study and success to goal. However, I agree with the idea mentioned first in the given statement(thesis?)

You followed the right structure but this is not clear and it is hard to follow your ideas.

Some people believe that competition and cooperation in the field of study are obligatory for students to reflect a spirit on the mind. Because, contesting is the challenge against rival parties, that's why, it reaches children to their aspect of destination.

Do you mean that both qualities are important to students? However, in the introduction, you only agree with the encouragement of a sense of competition.

students should highly influence to compete each other

students should be motivated to compete with each other

Writing Feedback / IELTS; characteristics motivate to our goals and provoke to develop our self-identity [12]

Research indicates that the characteristics we are born with have much more influence on our personality and development than any experiences we may have in our life.

You had better give us the question of this essay.

attitude of every person is an innate ability

I think attitude is more like a state of mind than an innate ability.

The issue of characteristics more than experience can motivate on our development and Individuality in life

This is grammatically incorrect.

People are often assessed by their manners.

Do you mean "traits"?

self-trails can't solely have a sense of influence on personality and development but must need experience in the way of life.
