Writing Feedback / five paragraph essay about where should company spend his money on art or environment [3]

Both arts and environment are important for today life that should not be forgotten.

I don't quite understand what you mean by this sentence. Kindly rephrase it.

Companies are going to protect environment is a good idea but it never will be like the past of it.

Your ideas are not clearly presented. They need to be organized in a better manner.

Pay attention to grammar. And keep on writing. That is how you will improve.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) ageing population: impacts on society. [5]

Secondly, employed senior citizens may lead to unemployment to the young generation. Thirdly, there will not be enough young people to look after the aged people.

Secondly. employed senior citizens would close down employment opportunities for young adults.

An another point is that

"An" is not used in front of "another"...

elder people don't buy manyanythingsortospend a lot of money.

I like your ideas. :)

Writing Feedback / TOEFL ; Staying with a host family is better than staying with friends [10]

You have shown good points although I would not agree with you saying that friends would not care as much as a host family would. If they don't, then they can hardly be called friends. lol.

It would be nicer to see this essay in paragraphs. Its a little annoying to be reading it like this.

It guidespeople through the market and services and a blessing for those whohavedonothaveenough time to search all these things and enables better choice.

On the other hand, advertisements not only inform us about a new product but also force people to want them

I wouldn't say "force". Tempt maybe a better word for this situation.

Writing Feedback / [IELTS Essay] Serveral langages die out every year, Is it not important? AD [5]

Some people think that is not important because life will become easier and efficiency if people no need to spend their limited time to learn and understanding other languages.

Some people believe that learning new languages is a waste of time and that life would become easier and more efficient if the world had only a few languages.

The main reason that we should protect the languages which is dying out every year is the language brings its own culture.

This sentence has a few issues. It would be better to rephrase it.

Writing Feedback / Immigrants should abandon their own ways and adapt to local customs? [6]

Very nice essay. And I completely agree with you. But maybe you could have just added that it is also very important not to forget where you came from. For example certain rules in countries might go against certain traditions of other countries. Even though you should respect the rules of the country you are currently living in, it is important not to forget your traditions as well.

Writing Feedback / Children are very sensitive about what they see or hear from their friends [5]

There are many aspects of aspects to prove this, which just quit significant of them are listed here.

????? I don't understand this sentence. Please rephrase it.

First and actually the most important reason which impressed me to disagree with this matter is some psychological articles which I've already read about learning process in kids.

First and foremost, it is proven psychologically that children are influenced more by their peers than by their teachers.

You have good points but you need to work on your presentation.

Undergraduate / MY INTEREST ON STATISTICS-Cornell essay [13]

My love offor mathematics and statistics is in my genes.

As an assistant of our maths teacher, I not only kept outstanding grades but also helped improving the grades of the whole class.

I guess you assisted your teacher in her work voluntarily and it was not some paid work. So, when you say ''as an assistant of our teacher'' it gives an impression as if you were doing a paid job as an assistant. Better re-phrase!

Writing Feedback / Shifting large factories to countryside helps solve traffic&housing issues... I agree [6]

Most importantly, the traffic congestion in the cities always makes the city life miserable.

I think "hectic" would be a better word instead of "miserable".

I agree on the fact that moving factories would decrease the traffic within the city. But then again once you move it to the countryside, people living there would start working in those factories. And in the end the countryside would also be another city. :/

To be honest it is very complicated and sometimes I lost track of what I was reading. Try to simplify it a lot more. The first paragraph, though written in perfect English, didn't make any sense to me. :/

You really need to simplify it a lot more or the readers will not be interested by your essay.

During my thirty years, I have learned a lot of things in my life, but an important thing is how to be a parent.

I have learned many important things in my thirty years on this planet, but perhaps the most important of them all is to how to be a good parent.

For must folks , the parents have to feed the children with healthy food, , help them in their homework and provide them with good health insurance.

I think "most" is the word you are looking for.

Many people believe being a good parent is to provide their children with healthy food, to provide them a good education and to protect them with health insurance.

Writing Feedback / Less stress, more harmony; is it better to live in small towns or big cities? [6]

I like the way you write. It's very clear and very well constructed.

The only suggestion I have is that your essay might sound better if reduce the length of some of your sentences. For example,

Additionally, life in a big city can be best enjoyed during youth when one can maturely handle the stress and fast pace of big city living and at the same time take advantage of the best that big cities have to offer- like opportunity to meet people from world over, trying cuisines from different nations, frequent shows and exhibitions, etc

This is a big sentence, try to break it down in your own way. :)

I see quite a few mistakes in your essay. Here are my suggestions.

For recent years

In recent years

As a results, nature is suffering from being exploited including lands.

As a result, mother nature is being exploited everyday.

However, I think that there is more need for land to be developed for housing and industry since my country needs concentration on industry and there are a lot of homeless people as well as many cities is overpopulated which leads to deprived living standard.

This sentence is very long. Try to break it down into 2 at least in your own way.

Writing Feedback / IELTS ESSAY - people are forgetting national celebrations and enjoying on other days. [4]

In this modern life, people are giving more preference to other day celebrations than the national celebrations.

Nowadays, people have given their personal celebrations more prominence than national celebrations.

I wouldn't say that people are disdain towards national celebrations. It's just that it doesn't seem important to them anymore.

I like the way write. It has a nice rhythm to it. But think the argument that children not getting proper exercise is not presented strongly enough. It might also be an idea for you to say that children studying day in and day out would distance them from whats happening around them. This can be very harmful.

I like the way you write. Your essay shows everybody how much you love maths and how good you are at it as well. But you have almost dedicated your entire essay to that certain topic "how much I love math". I think you might need to add something about yourself to interest the reader because I'm sure many people will be writing the same thing. Something about you that would blow you off the page.
