Whatever the emotion, I believe the photograph tells a story that could be a key to help others in present day or in the near future.

... I'm not quite sure whether I understand what you mean by this sentence... But here is my suggestion..

Whatever the emotion may be, I believe that a photograph tell us a hidden story that could be a key to help others on anther day.

Book Reports / Argumentative essay on 1984 [5]

With fear, you get people to listen to the leader/dictator and the dictator will rule the country making the place perfect with the help of the citizens.

...Never try to use a "/" in your essay. It breaks the rhythm of your writing. And I do not think a leader would ever use fear as a weapon to make those under him obey his orders. A leader differs from a dictator because of this exact reason. Respect is what a leader would use.

If you finish the essay post it here so that we can help you. Judging by your sections I can see that this is going to be a very interesting essay.

Scholarship / Courage is not born, it is developed; Scholarship 2013 [11]

I never thought I'd be where I am today, but it is only after I had the courage to grow that continue to grow.

... This sentence seems to be unclear to me.. BUt that might just be me..

Courage is not born, it is developed; it is a full commitment to push beyond boundaries and to live boldly.

.. hmmm I do not quite agree with this though. I think certain people are born with courage, but it certainly can be developed even further as you have said.

Those are the most important humans all your live, so don't use your rudeness to hurt their feelings and their love for you.

They are the most important people in your life, therefore you must not use rudeness with them and hurt their feelings.

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

As we know, the higher the standard of life is getting, the harder people try to work in order to catch up it.

Standards of living is getting better and better everyday, and people have to work harder and harder everyday so that they do not fall behind.

I don't quite understand the relationship between standards of living and people working hard. I believe the people have to work harder everyday because the world is getting more and more competitive. But this might just be my idea.

Writing Feedback / ( IELTS essay) prevention of crimes makes no difference [4]

All these causes are unable to wipe away from the community completely and thus the crime rate will increase.

These causes can not be wiped away from the society and thus, crime rate increases.

I prefer not to use words like "thus" and "etc" in essays because they sort of break the flow of the essay.

Even after strong regulation and education, the offenders are increasing in number.

Writing Feedback / Studying quantum physics [3]

Chief reason is that quantum physics is indirectly connected with the subject I want to study- cognitive science

Don't start the sentence using "Chief reason..." because it does not sound good. Try something like,

The main reason why I would choose Quantum physics is because it is indirectly...

The rest of your essay seems ok. I personally would like to study quantum physics as well. But i found even the easiest stuff very hard to understand.. lol

Writing Feedback / IELTS 1 - (EXPENSES in a School in UK in 1981,1991 & 2001) - Pie Chart [3]

The first sentence is key to an essay.

The three pie charts reveal the proportion of some kinds of expense in a particular school in the United Kingdom in 1981, 1991 and 2001.

It's better if you simply specify what the expenses are exactly because by saying "some kinds of expenses" your sentence sounds shallow and vague.

In regard to other workers' salaries, it made up a less and less percentage of total school expenditures, respectively 28%, 22% and 15%.

Other worker's salaries were 28%, 22% and 15% in the respective years and were among the lowest expenditures of the total school expenditure.

You need to improve your grammar and presentation.

According to this aspect many individuals believe that all these forms of skills can only be achieved by genetically and there is no play of continual training.

This sentence does not sound correct.
Some people believe that skills and talents should be in one's genes and training yourself without these inborn skills is a waste of time.

On the contrary, people can acquire some talents by taking lots of grooming.

According to customers view, it is immense advantage for customers if shop opens for twenty four hours a week.

Though, it changes the criminal to be a normal person but not completely for some extent.

This sentence does not seem to sound correct. Kindly rephrase it.

You break the nice flow of the sentence by saying "treatment" twice in the sentence.
