Writing Feedback / Qualified people moving from poor to rich countries _Ielts [3]

More and more qualified people are moving from poor to rich countries to fill vacancies in specialist areas like engineering, computing and medicine.
Some people believe that by encouraging the movement of such people, rich countries are stealing from poor countries. Others feel that this is only part of the natural movement of

Quality Workers Relocating to Rich Countries



Today, qualified people have inclination for moving from poor to rich countries in order to gain places to work in some areas. Many people claim that it is a natural trend, while others find it hard to accept this fact and argue rich countries are stealing from them. From my perspective, I mostly agree with the first thesis.

As far as I am concerned, workers choose to move to others countries because in there, they offer them a heap of amazing things, which help them a lots in their careers as well as their lives. For instance, rich countries give them chances to get the high wages or go abroad to learn some knowledge and proficiencies. Secondly, they may win promotions or even get extra pays if they work hard, which are not happen frequently in poor countries. Also, in developed countries, they have hundreds of good services supported free by governments to make lives better.

On the other hand, some people are not welcome in their hometowns. In fact, they abilities are not noticed or recognized. It leads to uncomfortable feelings of being useless and unsatisfied, which well-educated people often have. Result is that most of them might weigh up to find other places to work and few others stand still to prove their efficiencies. To support this matter, I will take my brother as an example. My poor brother got the MBA with the excellent grades and also had very good experiences, though he did not receive what he supposed to have. Because the leaders were scared that my brother could be their boss one day and of course, there are no bribes left for them. So he has come to Singapore to get a job. And look what he gets, 3000$ per month, which is consider extremely high in Vietnam and also in Singapore.

In a nutshell, It is also worth noting that moving or not is an interior decision; nobody can force them to leave. Apparently, giving out a choice depends on many aspects and people have the right to take their own paths in order get the best things for themselves. So we can put blames on rich countries for pulling people to move out and work for them.

Writing Feedback / 'Plan is required' - Students are encouraged to work or travel before university [8]

In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

Presently, many young people choose to work or travel around for a year after high school, then come back to university studies. This inclination has been approved by some adults, while others could not accept this fact. From my perspective, every coin has its two sides, benefits and hindrances, so does this issue.

Starting with its advantages, the young would learn a lot of things if they drop one year to work or travel. They will have chances to meet people, practice things. Also, they inevitably make mistakes and after, infer lessons for themselves. Through time, those would becoming their proficiency and experiences, which can be useful for them one day, maybe, in their careers. Moreover, working will bring wages to them. It will help them not only can understand more the value of money, but also know how laborious their parents have been to earn livings to foster them.

Regarding to the interferences, if people don't use that one year in an appropriate way, it will turn out to wasting their time. In fact, one year is not so long, but it is not that short to one's lifespan. Several cases, after exploring world, they do not want to get back to study, inasmuch as they find it boring and unnecessary. Studying is not the only way to be successful in life, though it does play an important role in attaining targets more quickly. In addition, people usually say "idle hands are devil's tools". If they don't spend time on doing something useful, then someday they will be obviously involved in deplorable things.

In a nutshell, this matter considered bad or good depends on us. My two cents worth is that people should make plan in order to use it effectively, instead of regretting later.

Writing Feedback / Young people have little leisure time and work hard with their studies_IELTS task 2 [3]

In some countries young people have little leisure time and are under a lot of pressure to work hard in their studies.
What do you think are the causes of this?
What solutions can you suggest?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

As we know, the higher the standard of life is getting, the harder people try to work in order to catch up it. Presently, the young now have little spare time and mostly focus on studying as well as working. There is a myriad of reasons to explain this inclination and follows by a wide range of solutions to them.

To begin with, some claim that if they study assiduously, they will earn much more money in the future. So they can help their parents, the unlucky and especially provide their children with perfect lives in the future. This answer is generally given by average or poor people, inasmuch as they are aware of their shortages and try to make up what they have not had before. Perhaps the best way to deal with this problem is that people should balance time to study effectively.

In addition, parents are also another factor contribute to this trend. They force their kids to study, which they consider the best for their children. A number of solutions have been put on the table, but I think the best one is that adult should ask for what the young wants, instead of pushing them. If they are interested in something, they will be diligent.

Last but not least, some others misunderstand success; they believe it is to be affluent and illustrious. They sacrifice their leisure time for working hard on their studies, try to fulfill their targets. Matters would much better if they think in other ways, spend time on exploring world. They should not waste the most beautiful time of their life, and regret it later. Time wait no man.

In a nutshell, everything has its remedies, so does this issue. From my perspective, people should weigh up their thoughts in order to give out efficient solutions.

Writing Feedback / Who deserves to get higher pays ? _Ielts [5]

Some people feel that certain workers like nurses, doctors and teachers are undervalued and should be paid more, especially when other people like film actors or company bosses are paid huge sums of money that are out of proportion to the importance of the work that they do.

How far do you agree or disagree?

It is undeniable that certain workers like doctors, teachers and nurses have played an important role to society up till now. Some people think that it is unfair for doctors to be paid less than actors or bosses in big companies. Actually, if we just consider only one aspect of matter, we will not find the right answers to solve it.

As I am concerned, movie stars may earn much more than other people in the same period of time, though they do not get it monthly and stably. You can see that there are not enough movies for them to cast as well as advertisements. At the times, some actors do sacrifice themselves to careers. For instance, they cut down hair, lose weights or even stay away from world so as to similar to characters in the movies. Heath Ledger could be the best example for this. Unfortunately, he died 4 years ago as he was so highly obsessed with Joker, whom he has casted for. The fact is money could not bring him back. For others, their salaries are only used for a short time.

In contrast, doctors have already high wages, not include extra pays, which have enough and to spare. Further on, people also get pension when they retire. With the regard to company bosses, it is believed that they just sit on chairs, sign papers or read the plans and make decisions. However, those are really important because they have to use all their proficiencies to put into practice in order to get the best remedies. If principal were a job, there would be a subject teaching how to be one. In fact, you might find diamonds, but they are the ones who make them jewelries.

On other hand, some people do not deserve what they have dedicated. Some movies stars and models do nothing but get heaps of money. While others have to get up early, stay up late to finish work and do achieve less than 1/10 of theirs. Moreover, some people are born to be bosses because their families have companies, though they do not have any experiences. I am of the opinion that we should pay people for what they have contributed, instead of their jobs.

Hope sb will estimate my score for this essay :). Thanks in advanced

Writing Feedback / IELTS ; Are Children given too much freedom? Children need a balance [6]

"For one, if children spend their time involving in their personal hobby they are likely to gain more than learning in school for long hours" I dont get it.

"involve" you should replace this word with other. Maybe, you can use "be into", "be interested in", "be keen on", etc.

"hobby" you are saying generally, so it should be plural -> hobbies
I think your essay is quite good, though you make many repetitions here.

Writing Feedback / Working from home or offcices? _ Ielts [12]

Computers and modems have made it possible for office workers to do much of their work from home instead of working in offices every day. Working from home should be encouraged as it is good for workers and employers.

How far do you agree or disagree?

Today, computer are now available everywhere, together with the Internet, they have play an important role in our lives. They apparently do help us in many ways, including allowing employers do their work at home instead of being in offices. Some people argue that it would be better for them to work from home, and I agree with this statement to a certain degree.

First of all, at home, they can work anytime that they want. They just need to complete their work on time. For example, they don't have to get up early in every morning, or have only one-hour break. Further on, working in offices is not a good idea for people living far as well as bad weathers. In the winter, employers absolutely find it hard to drive to work. Moreover, working from home also helps them to save money for buying fuel and somehow prevents them from accidents.

Secondly, people could spend more time with their families or doing something else if they stay at home, especially for women having babies. For instance, they can take care of their children, cook meals and do chores instead of getting baby sisters. Others can take up doing exercises, travel around, hanging out with friends or learn new things such as playing chess, cooking so forth.

By contrast, working from home also brings some drawbacks. As we know, when people make mistakes, there is no one to ask for advice so it could waste their time to fix them. In addition, it is impossible for everyone to infer lessons and gain experiences from others. In the long run, workers may be not able to work in team because they are acquainted with doing alone, which is clearly not good for them.

I hope that you could estimate the score for Writing task 2 for me. Thank you all :X

Writing Feedback / The trend that damages our quality of life: Multinational Companies [8]

Presently, Multinational companies (MC) have located offices in almost countries. They have brought tons of amazing products from other countries, which give people a wide arrange of options. There is no doubt that they have played an important role in globalization as well as economy development. However, this inclination apparently contains many drawbacks in life, and I partially agree with this thesis.

On one hand, as far as I am concerned, making profits is the first aim of any companies. MC are absolutely not an exception, so they try to invest new young markets, such as the Middle east, asia-Pacific and also some countries in South America. Most of them are developing countries, which means they will get large amounts of work forces. Moreover, they can make use of natural resources with cheap prices. And of course, they will make more much profits in those countries than in developed ones. In the long run, it is really dangerous to the countries, because some resources could be exhausted. Forests may be destroyed or people don't get high wages and lead to the decline of economy.

In addition, Multinational companies also import some products that are already being produced in the country. People tend to buy things from others richer countries as they think they could be better. Customers will depend on them and willing to pay the high price for those products, which is also another factor to affect the economy.

Last but not least, every cloud has its silver lining. Besides the weak points, Multinational Companies have plenty of positive points. They open many choices for us and bring us new things with high qualities. It is also worth noting that multinational companies give unemployed people jobs and chances to work in other places. I think those could be perfect opportunities for them to earn livings, gain more proficiencies and contribute to build up their countries to some extent.

Writing Feedback / 'Children suffer due to modern lifestyles of their parents' - Ielts [3]

Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children suffer because they do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past.

Do you agree or disagree?

There are many explanations how is modern lifestyles, it depends on us. Some argues that parents not taking care of children as much as they did are modern lifestyles, which brings about unexpected result to their kids. From my perspective, I generally disagree with that thesis.

Firstly, people are now being protected by law, so they have more rights than they did in the past, including women can go to work. Men used to be the only one in the families who earned the livings, while women stayed home and took care of children. Now, they both go to work so that kids could have more chances to get to know their parents as well as play with them, instead of having only mothers. The fact is two absolutely better than one.

Second thing is most of the children now can go to schools. Knowledge is considered the most essential to human beings. Not as before, they had to drop studying and worked hard to help their families. This means they spend almost time on studying with classmates, teachers and playing nowadays. Obviously, we cannot put the blame on their fathers or mother for not being around; it is a reality that we have to accept.

In addition, modern lifestyles are more likely that parents learn to respect their kids in order to give them privacy to grow up and also teach them how to be independently responsible in everything, which does not mean leaving them behind. To support this, I will take my father as an example. Honestly, my dad scarcely stays beside me, even when I got into troubles. He claims that he wants me to experience things, make mistakes and infer lessons for my own, though he really worries me to mess things up. The reason for him to do that is he has faith in me, so do your parents.

On the other hand, others believe that they ought to work hard so as to get the highest wages, and their children would have perfect lives. However, they get it all wrong. Actually, Spirit is far more important than matter. Money is just means of living, not the main purpose for us to survive. My two cents worth is that parents should have the appropriate ways to educate and look after them, because those would affect who they are becoming in the future.

Writing Feedback / Machine translation is slower and less accurate than human translation - IELTS [10]

Machine translation (MT) is slower and less accurate than human translation and there is no immediate or predictable likelihood of machines taking over this role from humans.

Do you agree or disagree?

Presently, you can see the presence of machine translations (MT) everywhere in this world. Yes, we can deny the wonderful use of them bring to us in some ways, though they still have a heap of disadvantages such as: wasting our time as well as being less accurate and so forth. Some argues that those machines have no chance to take over the role of translating from human and some says no. From my point of view, Human is better to trust than a machine in this situation, so I agree with the first thesis above.

As I am concerned, we can use MT anywhere and anytime that we want, all you have to do is going on the website: google.com - the most popular one of all. There is a tab called "Translate", and luckily, they have almost every common language in the world right now. So it would be really convenient for us. On the other hand, Machine is a machine. They cannot have feelings like us and also not wise enough to express words with the figurative senses. The truth is they only translate word by word, which make us pretty difficult to get them.

It is also worth noting that MT frequently gives us the most common meanings of the words. To support this, I will take myself as an instance. Once I had MT translate the word "book" and they showed me: "Book is a thing, which has cover outside and paper with words inside". Actually, I did expect to see the meaning of having requirements of keeping something in advanced, in order not to lose them. Later, I had to look up dictionary, which takes plenty of my time.

Last but not least, machine translations are not totally completed yet, so there are several new words or ancient ones have not been updated. That is also another factor for them to translate ineffectively. For those reasons, they can lead us to misunderstand or even affect other things and maybe bring about the bad results.

Hope you guys give me some feedback :XX

Writing Feedback / Fast food brings us more avails than drawbacks (IELTS task 2) [11]

Nowadays, Fast food is more and more worldwide for people in almost everywhere. Some say it is good and others disagree on that thesis. Unfortunately, every coin has its two sides, so is Fast food.

First of all, Fast food brings us a heap of advantages. Just as its name, we will save more time to have a hamburger than cook one, which is very convenient for those who are quite busy. In addition, we can take it with us wherever we go. For instance, if you are working in the bank, which means you just have only one hour and a half for eating and relaxing, so fast food might be the best choice in this situation.

Second of all, besides its benefits above, it also has some negative points. As we know, fast food is extremely harmful to our health because they cook food with oil used day after day. That can be a factor of bringing about cancers or heart-attacks. Moreover, it can make you fat, which are now happening often in many parts of the world. Last but not least, the quality of food is not guaranteed, we will never know what if the meat and vegetable are truly fresh.

As I am a student and sometimes get stuck in studying, I occasionally take meals in KFC. However, I do not agree that fast food increasing more common is a positive trend.

Please help me :)
