Writing Feedback / IELTS Benefits of unpaid work of teenagers [4]

Hi Mriytunjay, it would be better to start a new thread to people can edit your essay more easily. This thread belongs to another person and it is not suitable to put your essay here. I know the topic is the same, and you did that to compare your work with others, but I think you should have your own thread. Please, run a new thread, and then we put some comments on your essay.

Writing Feedback / 'characteristics of societies while studying in big cities' - GRE issue essay [5]

not help us to understand the beauty of societies whenand small cities, which are often devalued, have an impact on societies too. ----.> I thin this sentence is a little vague. As a suggestion u can write:"I believe if investigations about a society just focus on big cities, many facets of the society such as x,y z will be not discovered/revealed. (X, Y,,Z refers to the aspects that you want to write about them in the body)

First and foremost, small cities are usually considered to be(I prefer "as" rather than "to be")the suburbs

The people who live in the(u are not talking about some certain suburbs, so u cannot use "the") suburbs

At the second paragraph u should explain why suburb are more important and how they can affect the characteristic of a society. U provided an example about the US, but in this example u did not mention why people should study suburb areas for understanding the society.

In contrast to the statement,

Do not use this and do not make a reader to read the topic one more time. Try to provide all information in your essay.

very attractive to

Use of "very" in writing, especially academic writing, is not appropriate.

They are millions of foreigners visiting Manhattan, New York every year.

before stating this u should add the term "for instance" or something like that to show this is an example and a support for the topic sentence. Without this term, it seems that this fact can just happen in Manhattan.

the characteristics of a Manhattan society.

With less outsiders visiting and more local people living in

The people living in asmall city(use a synonym because u used "small city" for several times. u can use "town")

The people living in small city are more innocent and less sceptical.

this sentence needs a support. u should make it clear when u say "they are innocent".

These people will show the true faces of the world their"true faces" without hiding

In conclusion, small cities which have so many desirable attributes do affect the societies.

Before stating an ending statement (clincher) in the concusion, you should reword the topic/first paragraph.

I really appreciate your words, especially the last sentence was really important for me, because as my supervisor told me, an article must be clear for everyone and I am happy that I could convey my message in this way.

I am sorry that the topic was boring :))))))))))))))

About you question :Actually this is an introduction of an article. As you know each paper has four main parts: Introduction; Experimental procedure; Results and discussion; conclusion. As a paper each part must be explained separately.

Thanks again

Writing Feedback / 'magnesium alloys' - The introduction of a scientific paper [20]

are you sure if it is just one group or many groups

Actually just Tribologist work on it. There are a few scientists in the world that work on wear behavior of Light alloys (including magnesium). In addition, I wrote "a group" because I was not talking about a specific researcher.

Thank you very much for your help. The comments were really useful.

Writing Feedback / 'drawbacks of pursuing an inappropriate course of study' - GRE practice essay [7]

1)All students must have the a right . ( All students plural, can I use "a" right, or should I use "rights" as according to subject verb agreement)

u should use "a" instead of "the", because of two reasons: 1) you are talking about a right which was not mentioned before, so it is not familiar to use "the", 2) "right" refers to "choose their future" not "students". Ask yourself this question: which right? the answer is "to choose sth". The answer refers to just one thing.

Writing Feedback / 'magnesium alloys' - The introduction of a scientific paper [20]

Hi, I wrote a part of the introduction of an article below. Please help me to improve it. This is just a part of the inroduction, and I am writing the rest of it. Thanks in advance.

Mg-Al-based magnesium alloys could draw the attention of many industries, especially airspace and automotive ones, because of their great castability, good corrosion resistance and appropriate room-temperature mechanical properties. AZ91 magnesium alloy is the most commonly used Mg-Al alloy at low temperature applications. However, the use of this alloy at the temperatures over 110-120 şC is limited due to its poor mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. The formation of -Mg17Al12 phase in the interdendritic regions, is known as the main reason of weak mechanical properties of AZ91 alloy at high temperatures. This phase has a low melting point (i.e., 437 şC) and low thermal stability. As a result, AZ91 alloy loses its strength stemming from dissolution, coarsening and softening of -Mg17Al12 intermetallics.

Numerous studies have been conducted to improve the mechanical properties of this alloy at elevated temperatures. Most of the investigations have focused on replacing unstable -Mg17Al12 phase with thermally stable intermetallics by addition of some elements such as Ca, Y, RE, etc, to the alloy through alloying process.

Poor wear behavior of AZ91 alloy is another important factor which can limit the applications of it. The tribological behavior of this alloy has attract the attention of a group of researchers over last years.

Writing Feedback / 'nation's social development' - GRE Issue Task-- characteristics of a society [3]

Hi,
To tell the truth, I just read the introduction because the essay was long :). Please accept my apologies.

Here are my suggestions about the first paragraph:

political system, economic structure, and cultural features ("political and economic" are adj., So, u should also use the word "culture" in the adjective form.) ,

The statement tries

Which statement?? You should not make a reader to turn back and read the topic. U must put all necessary information in the essay. For example u could write:" It is believed that for better understanding of a society's characteristics, sociologists and authorities should concentrate their investigations on major cities of that society"

In the introduction u should apparently mention your idea (agree or disagree). You should also state the reasons of your opinion to show the following paragraph include which issues.

The most crucial features of a society, indeed, are possessed by many non-major cities and should be understood by studying the country as a whole.

Which crucial features??? Are they the things that you want to talk about them in the body? If the answer is yes, you should briefly (in several words) mention them.

The words that u used in the essay were really good. I think creating interesting sentences with strong structures is more important than vocabulary.

Regards

Letters / Apology letter (hotel manager has no room for his customer) [4]

Hi,

Provide an outline at first step. Each letter start with "Dear xxxx". Then give a general idea to a reader about the problem (lack of available room). At the beginning a reader should know the letter is going to talk about what issue. After that u should explain about the problem (why this problem has been created, u should also talk about the costs such as 3000 deposit over past weekends, free drink etc). At the next part of the letter, you should ask what u want form the reader of the letter, and u should also suggest some solutions for raising the problem.

Writing Feedback / Contribution of artists and scientists are both important to society. [4]

FromOn the one hand....On the other hand

one place to another placeone

We have mobile phone so that

Do not use "We" "You', "I" in writing. U can change the sentence in this way :"Mobile phone is another clear-cut example that reveals the role of scientists in our lives"

...is invaluable to thea (u are not talking about a certain society. So, I think "a" should be replaced with "the") society.

both artists and scientists are playing equal, valuable and irreplaceable roles

My opinion is that both types play equal roles

U used the term "play equal roles" in the introduction and conclusion. Try to use various structures and words for the sentences.

The essay is a bit long (383 words). Be careful about time limitation in a real test

Overall the essay was a great one. If you write like this in the IELTS and TOEFL tests u can easily get the scores of 7.5 and 27, respectively.

Essays / 'How to reduce earth pollution' - starting an essay? [6]

Hi, at the first step authorities should improve the people's awareness level about this fact that producing rubbish will negatively impact the environment. For this purpose, advertising can be viewed as a powerful tool for motivating people to make less rubbish. There are too many advertising methods which can be employed in this concern such as environmental adverts, direct and indirect advertising, online advertising, etc.

I think you should improve the introduction. An introduction reveals that what points are going to argue in an essay. This important point was not observed in the introduction of your essay, and this is the week point of the introduction, in my point of view. A reader needs to know the following paragraphs will cover which part of the topic. Indeed, this is just my opinion and it is a suggestion.

...to finish their works

As the life developed, its requerements developed also, and a lot of employees going to travel from one place to another to finish their work. No time to cook in these circumstances and the fast food is the substituation.

This paragraph is too short with a week support. U can make it stronger by stating some jobs with similar situations. For instance, traders or inspectors should travel form one place to another one regularly.

On the other hand, both parents work in the same time nowadays which means hard time to enjoy cooking or even to eat together.

this paragraph is also short. In fact, this is just a topic sentence and I cannot call it a paragraph.

FoodIt is claimed that food isto be a support for our bodiesy , which improve the immune system against various infections and diseasesto help it to defeat against the disease and to be in a very good healthy built. We should not get involved in the pollution(what do u mean? pollution is not used in this context. Search the word "Body pollution" to get my point) of our health, Inat the same time we have to criticize and insist our government to build natural restua rants instead of any kind of bad unhealthy food ones. Health education is another soll ution that our governeme nts should care about it,pay attention to, in addition to family,education and how to manage our life properly to be in a good healthy way.(this sentence is not clear and has no support. Moreover, each paragraph should involve a conclusion at the end)

In conclusion, Before writing a clincher (ending statement) u should reword the topic or the first paragraph) we are going to live once so we must live it with healthy fit accompanied body.

Writing Feedback / 'drawbacks of pursuing an inappropriate course of study' - GRE practice essay [7]

Hi,
The essay was good, but I think you should revise the introduction because the ideas in the introduction were vague and unclear. You should reword the topic in an introdcution. U tried to do that, but it was not apparent. In addition, you should directly point out your opinion in an "agree or disagree" topic.

Writing Feedback / 'parents should be aware of the type of children's environment' - ILET [7]

most of the corrections have been done by others, but I would like to add just some suggestions.

Whether the environment or the guanine characteristics that have the huge impact on children developments(Use a synonym for this word because u used this before. I also think that u should mention which kind of developments. Is that the "cognitive development"? I think if u add the word "cognitive", the sentence would be more clear). , parents should be aware of the type of environmentatmosphere (this word is better in this context) that their children are living in their first six years. Because as long as we can do nothing about the characteristics we were born with, we surly have the power to control the environment that surround our children.

Writing Feedback / toefl essay: friends for fun or for giving help [2]

cherished than those who just want to stay with me to have fun.

Try to avoid using "First" , "second", at the beginning of each paragraph. It sounds cliche.

who can give you help when you need ithim/her

need help

do not repeat the word "need". U used this word for nine times throughout the essay.

Like, in a school, you are absent one day, and teacher is going to discuss important materials for next test in class. No one really can help you to get that information even parents cannot do this for you

this support is a poor support for getting help from a friend.

Also, the friends who can be with you when you face straitened circumstances are true friends. There is a famous proverb that "a friend is need is a friend indeed."

In the previous paragraph u were talking about the issue that friends can help you as you need them. The third paragraph is also talking about this point and I think it is not different from the second paragraph of the essay. The second part of the body should be about a different idea. For example: "we need friends because of psychological reasons and real friends try to positively influence our mental states" or "Friends can help us to improve our social behavior".

The essay is too long (667 words). You should pay attention to the time limitation.

Writing Feedback / 'one year break can be long for young people' - encouraged to work or travel [2]

Taking a gap year off between high school and university has become a popular option among many young people. This time provides a break after many years of formal study. Some people prefer to travel around the world and others would rather work during the a yea

In an introduction u should mention that the essay is going to talk about what. U should add a sentence to show the essay is about the advantages and disadvantages of the issue.

n addition, working in the early life

There is no coherency between this sentence and previous ones. Before this u were talking about the advantages of traveling, u should add a sentence to connect "traveling" to "working". For example, :"Working is another choice that many young people try to experience it before studying a subject at a university." Then talk about the advantages of working. )

plenty

do not repeat this word.

From my point of view, it would influence to youngers adversely and their future if they choose working and traveling instead of studying.

Why? you should support your opinion.

I myself have a personal story in this regard which supports my opinion and reflects how one side can feel the injustice about such bias.

Each paragraph should have a "topic sentence (which consists of a general idea and a main idea)" which reveals the paragraph is going to revolve around what issue. For understanding the paragraphs of your essay, a reader must read all parts of them to get the point.

You should improve the structure and organization of an essay.

Writing Feedback / 'to travel or work before starting their university study' - ILETS [4]

An introduction should start with a motivator. This introduction is too short. U should draw the attention of a reader by an interesting introduction.

finishing high school and starting university studies

do not copy the topic

n the following I will state

Try to use the passive sentences.

Use your experience for supporting the topic sentences of paragraphs. The essay is just based on your experiences, but the topic asked you about the advantages and disadvantages of the issue in whole. This is an essay not a SOP.

After I finished high school with an excellent grade (is that point necessary?) I decided that I want to work before starting my university study

but I continued for a year before I started my study at the university(it is not essential to repeat this point. Repetition is the worst thing in the world!!!)

try to use plural sentences for preventing the use of "he/she").

U think that the disadvantages of the issue are more than its advantages, but in the essay you mentioned more advantages and the main part of the essay was allocated to advantages. I think u should focus on the disadvantages as a person who thinks the downsides of working for young people before studying at universities outweigh the positive points.

Another thing that I think u should pay attention to, is that the topic asked about "working" and "traveling", but u did not state any thing about traveling throughout the essay and u concentrated just on "working".

I cannot score your work as I am not an examiner. Do not think about the score and just try to improve your writing skills (organization, vocabulary, grammar, etc) and expose yourself to an extensive range of topics.

Student Talk / How do you define a good writer or a beginner writer? [7]

I think writing is a complex skill. The definition of a beginner writer can be varied according to the criteria which are considered for evaluating a writer. The expectation about a person who wants to just get a good score in the IELTS or TOEFL tests is totally different from a professional writer. If the criterion be an excellent novelist, we will found us as a beginner in writing as compare ourselves to him/her. Thus, there is no clear definition about the word "beginner".

If you are not a professional writer, u should have the following abilities to view yourself as a good writer:
1) having information about the structures and organization of essays or paragraphs
2) A good information about grammar
3) vocabulary or lexical resource is another factor
4) A little creativity to write an interesting passage
5) The ability to discuss a wide range of topics and convey your message to a reader in an effective way

This is my view toward your question

Table is a good idea. You can give a general view about the percentage of patients of each type in the US. But, I think beside this, a line-graph can make your discussion stronger. A line-graph is a good tool for providing such information. U can choose three main states, for instance, and then allocate the x-axes to the name of the states and y-axes to the percentage of different types in each state.

beside the things that I told you above, you can add these details: 1) The roots of the type 1 (genetically, and the like), 2) Medication is a good idea as you said, 3) New methods for curing this type, 4) Diet: I am not sure, but may be the diet of people should be changed according to the type of the diabetes. 5) If physical activities are important in this issue you should talk about it . 6) discuss about each type in the US, the country that you are living in .

Writing Feedback / Should Students (not administrators) control their own education? [3]

Hi. I would like to mention just one important thing. An introduction should start with a motivator before restating the topic. A motivator not only attracts the attention of a reader to keep reading an essay, but also it can prepare the mind of a reader for the main idea of the essay which is stated in the next sentences of the introduction. Motivator is an imperative part of an essay and you should consider it.

Hi, I am sorry for that. I read the word "Diabetes" in a wrong way. I thought that is "debate". Sorry, it was just a funny mistake and misunderstanding :). So ignore my ideas.

But about this topic:

Introduction: I think you can open the introduction with a sentence about the number of people who suffer this disease. This may shock a reader and can draw the attention of him/her. Then write about the different types of that.

And the body: allocate each paragraph for discussing one type of diabetes.

conclusion: restate the first paragraph and write an ending statement. I recommend a prediction as a clincher.

Research Papers / 'Diabetes Mellitus' - a research essay on Diabetes? [40]

Well, there are a wide range of choices. You can choose a political topic. For example you can compare the foreign and domestic policies of two different countries (consider the differences and similarities).

You can also talk about the poverty in a country like India. I read an article about this issue yesterday. This country has a lot of sources of income, but the number of poor people is too high in this country. You can analyze the different aspects of this issue.

A topic that may be more interesting is a social one. Talk about the traditions and cultures in two different parts of the world. Try to find the way that they may influence each other and compare them. About 3 years ago I did a similar work. I compared the Far-east and Western cultures.

Wedding is another attractive topic. The traditions of a wedding ceremony is different from one country to another one.. Have you heard about "White Wedding"? this is just an example. There are an extensive range of examples in this case.

Another political topic. U can discuss about the role of different international organizations in the world such as the United Nation. Are they important? Are they useful? What are the main goals of such organizations? (just choose one and discuss about it)

I have lots of idea in my mind. If these are not your favorite let me know the field that you wish to write about
