Writing Feedback / IELTS ; Increased prices of petrol can solve growing traffic and pollution issues [5]

Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems

On the given task you should support and argue on the petrol price increase on two issues 1. Growing traffic and 2. Pollution Problem. In my opinion you've supported the first and the foremost part whereas the later one I mean point 2 was not discussed.

I would rather suggest you should have mentioned by saying some thing like this:- How many times we witnessed only one person is travelling on a 4 wheeler vehicle which not only causing pollution but also occupying more space on the road thus causing more traffic problems.

And I think you could substitute this bit in your essay at

However, in reality, the public transport system is not good that causes people waste much time waiting and travelling between bus stops, even not mentioning the bad service of this means.

I'm a strong supporter of mass transportation system as it not only reduces the pollution but also fit with in the budget.

Dear friend this is only a suggestion I thought of sharing.

Nowadays, some young adults do feel to stay away from their parents as soon as they find out that they are mature enough to handle themselves. In the contrast, there is an another troop of young adults who do prefer to be with their respective families for a longer time.

I was frustrated to see that my item was held at Hong Kong customs.

However, she did promise to call me once there are updates on my transaction. Since then, I didn't receive a call from her and tracking information still shows the same status as before

However, I didn't receive any update on the progress of my order up until now even after I tried to contact your help desk team.

After careful consideration I have decided to cancel this transaction and therefore I would ask arequest for full refund.for the whole cost I have paid.PleaseI hope you would understand that I tried to be patient with this matter. B but I think the delay it caused me is apparently unacceptable.

Writing Feedback / IELTS; FIXED PUNISHMENT FOR CRIMES? Or they need to be based on circumstances? [7]

Fixed punishment lacks flexibility and a narrow foresight for e.g. A child is s accused for death of an individual, then according to the law this juvenile is a 'perfect candidate' for death penalty because "murder" is the focus not the circumstances in which this crime was committed and if the whole scenario is consider it perhaps be the 'game changer' in this case in turn saving this child from un- justified death penalty

In my opinion, you have taken an example of a child for the fixed punishment system where there is little window for the justice system to waive off his punishment. I would expect you writing about a simple scenario and what happens if the law and order system is stringent in their corrective actions. His future would be wasted if he's given a fixed term punishment rather than law and order system provide an opportunity to correct the individual. I guess by writing this you are inclined towards supporting the justice system works on the circumstances as well.

Thirdly, a criminal can present forged evidences, false witnessto deviate the course of justice as not check and balance is present in such fixed punishment system, consequentlywhich could end up an innocent to suffer and eventually are behind bars (jail) instead of the real culprit.

I would prefer to picture the problems in a most generalized way.
Due to various factors like higher rental price, maintaining the place in a neat and tidy manner and moreover fit within their budget, tenants tend to change the places more often, which is a waste of both time and money.

Writing Feedback / IETLS: Children can benefit by engaging in some kind of paid work [6]

Question in task 2 : In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it a valuable work work experience, which is important for learning and taking responsibility. What is your opinion?

In my opinion, I think that children work in work place and learn is definitely valuable and helpful, while whether works are paid or not .

My advise:- Don't mention or not as the question is talking about paid work only. If you are saying the opposite side of the paid work then in my opinion you need to mention voluntary work, child labor etc, which doesn't have any relevance with the task question.

I would rephrase the sentence as "In my opinion, work place experience for children is definitely valuable and helpful while they are paid."

In this generation, some of companies

I would rephrase as below:

Nowadays, companies prefer to hire.

Yes himsai,
I've written this on the paper and copied it on to this forum, this way I'm practicing for the exam.While writing I couldn't get more ideas with in the time that's why I've asked for help!!

I see your point here. It's partially discussed and should have the last sentence, no two ways about it.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the world people are still struggling to acquire the necessary commodities like food and water. Especially people of Africa were the worst hit by this. If you see the prime cause for these troubles it could be low literacy levels, challenging geographic conditions or an ongoing war which lasted for decades. These factors immensely affects the given country's economy.In such countries people think it would be more sensible to spend the funds in these essential sectors rather than space exploration.

Writing Feedback / IETLS; Do you agree that it's worth spending money on space exploration? [6]

Question:
With all the troubles in the world today, money spend on space exploration is a complete waste. The money could be better spent on other things.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?


more funds for advanced space technologies



Though the dynamics of the world changing so rapidly in all aspects, it is very sad that people even now living below the poverty line. This has lead to a heated debate among various communities of the world, to justify the money spent on these advanced space technologies are worth investing or not.

These factors immensely affects the given country's economy.

On the other hand, if we observe the space exploration from its starting age, the usage of satellites are well known to humans. As the world population and curiosity of the human are growing continuously, scientists are exploring other planets and try to find out the possible living conditions on them. This could even unfold potential threats to the mankind in future.

The advancement in technology is inevitable and more natural. If we can't accept this then the journey of the human from Stone Age to the present day should be scrapped. In my opinion, all this transformation happened because of exploring various technologies and strategies which has raised the living standards.Furthermore, the money spent on these programs are necessary to make our earth a better living place.

Dear friend, I won't write this in my essay because to me it takes away the natural flow of the essay. I feel there is no harm if you leave with the first two sentences.

This is the actual question and you need to tell what people do for that. Then give reasons and examples. Your body paras sound a bit deviated from this task

Thank you Dumi for your suggestion.

The structure I followed is what was the previous scenario, how people are getting educated and what they are doing in order to achieve the prime goal. Do you want me to give more examples on their food habits and exercise?

Writing Feedback / IELTS; How to stay healthy in your country? Reasons & Answeres [6]

Question:- A healthy person is often described as someone who has a good diet,gets plenty of exercise and avoid stress.What should people do to stay healthy in your country? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience.

Nowadays very few people are unknown to the word "stress".The current cyber age is demanding more than what one can deliver and eventually causing them more stressed than ever before.This could lead to potential long term ailments like diabetes,obesity and blood pressure etc.In order to avoid this people are getting educated through various channels and promoting healthy eating, exercising to stay fit and active.

Earlier people tend to eat the food without worrying about the contents of the products.The better science world around us made people smart in choosing the diet and cutting down unwanted salts,sugars,saturated,unwanted cheese and fats.Recently various health departments around the world made it mandatory to display the contents and the energy levels on various fast foods.Undoubtedly there is more demand for nutritionist ever before to give proper guidance in this area.More and more people realizing the health benefits of vegetables,fresh fruits and started making them as part of their regular meal.

On the other hand apart from healthy eating a well structured physical activity also required .Good exercise helps to function all parts of human body and also allows new cell growth with in human body.These days most of the corporate offices encouraging and promoting by providing a free fitness membership at the local fitness centers and yoga classes. Youngsters keep themselves busy in various sporting events in order to stay on top of stress.

In my opinion to stay healthy and fit it's not necessary to eat less and lift the weights,running on treadmills for hours and hours, but a simple change in our daily routine could make a big difference such as a simple walk in the park could keep the stress at a bay.

Writing Feedback / IELTSl; Refugee programs/process should be allowed? [6]

First of all, this idea popped up in my mind whilst I was watching TV.Thought I should try to take as task 2 question.

Question:- With the increasing number of refugees ever before most countries debating on the refugee programs/process. Does this whole process should be allowed? Discuss and give your opinion.

One of the major challenges that most of the countries facing is the increase in number of refugees.If we observe the prime cause, it's nothing but growing number of conflicts across the world. Resulting, the growth in the people who abandoning their motherland in order to save their lives and their loved ones, which I believe we have to understand being humans.

However, asylum seekers are more vulnerable to the situations starting from the journey from their home to the new country.They had to deal with trauma, criticism and moreover they even don't know the systems and procedures of the new country.

Furthermore, the tax payers are also not happy if the government continuously accepting these people as this could eventually lead to increase the tax and effect the countries economy one day.There is always a scale of uncertainty with in the people that refugees may take over their jobs.

Needless to say these asylum seekers add numbers to the census and in cases to the potential skilled employment levels.The governments could use these resources to back fill the skills short fall.

In conclusion, governments should thoroughly investigate and restrict people smuggling where evidences are deliberately damaged.How often we witness the political blame game on these topics.In my opinion, every country should accept, restrict the number of refugee intake and constantly monitor the process to accommodate to the changing scenarios. After all, at the end of the day we are humans and should understand the word "humanity".

Please comment on the structure as well. Sincere thanks for your time.
Cheers.

Writing Feedback / Gifted by nature women plays a significant role in bringing a new child [3]

Gifted by nature women plays a significant role in bringing a new child (life) into the world but unfortunately there are some aspects that she need to consider before becoming a wonderful mother.

Majority of men think it's women's job to decide and weather she want a baby or not. But if you see the amount of stress and competition she experiences both at home and workplace it's not fair on men if they walk away by simply saying "it's not my responsibility".These sort of non supporting statements not only makes the women insecure but she may also feel insecure and disrespectful, resulting in emotional breakdown which can not only cause an extreme decisions like early termination or in some cases chances of ending the marital relationship as well.

However in recent times as both the genders are getting equally recognized by each other we can see there is some change in this trend.Now a days both the men and women are understanding each other and respecting each other views at least in important decisions like this.

Concisely in my opinion men should also share the responsibility by supporting their partner in every possible way they can, which can allow women not only cherish those moments (during pregnancy) but also allows to understand the unconditional love of their husband.

My questions:-

Is it alright to have a short second paragraph?

I've used a word "Concisely " which I believe a good word. Please comment on this.

can I use parenthesis statements in between?
