Writing Feedback / The ways used to dispose of the harmful garbage in Korea, Sweden and United Kingdom [3]

The introductory paragraph is well done, but I think you need to put some ideas in order to make your opening paragraph is more interesting. Let me give you an example:

Some comparisons of how to get rid of harmful waste are presented in the charts. The data is taken from different countries and is measured in percentage.

Also, some changes have been made in the following paragraph. Here is the one:

General speaking, people in Sweden are more likely to bury such materials, while those living in Korea recycle more their waste. Although waste products in the UK interred in underground show the highest proportion, hardly are these materials reused into other products.

Hope this helps :D

This is good, but still needs more rooms for improvement. If I were you, then I'd like to swap such a sentence into a passive form as like a report writing is developed in general.

It can be clearly seen that the fish consumption numbers ...

The main objective of the overview is to reveal the main trends of the graph constructed in 2 sentences.

This is grammatically incorrect. WRITE the amount, instead of the number

Writing Feedback / For over years, people always been paid attention on their look while working. [3]

For over years, people always been paid attention on their look while working. When you search on youtube, there are many tutorial for using a good suit in the company. However, should they dressed smartly?

This does not thoroughly answer the prompt given. As this is a both-view-essay question, your task is to justified your claim towards the two initiative views. In here, you are missing such a highlighted point, and therefore this costs you a lot for the score. Trust me.

Permata Bank

Go-Jek, Tokopedia and Bukalapak

Remember, IELTS is an international exam, so you need to discuss the issues presented as per the global view, not the local one. It is always good to put yourself on other global citizen's view. This helps you examine the issue in the worldwide aspects

will attracted to them

Will attract a lot of attention from the people who were nearby

In contrast, the recent research conduct by Harvard University about "Happy Workers"

A good paragraph starts with a topic sentence, not illustrations as you did. The topic sentence is extracted from the thesis you present exactly upfront in the introduction.

In my opinion,

This is not a concluding signal. This phrase is used when you are discussing your stand towards the issues. Quickly google concluding phrases, pick up one and generate it to your next essay.

Hope this helps :D

Writing Feedback / The graph below shows relative price changes for fresh fruits and vegetables, sugars - Writing TASK [6]

Hi there..., thank you for sharing your essay here. Without further ado, let me give some valuable feedback.

It is always good to leave one space every time you write a new paragraph. This makes your writing easy to read. More importantly, you are more likely to control how many words are written in a paragraph.

The chart displays prices alterations for fresh food and vegetables, sugars, and sweet, and carbonat drinks from 1978 to 2009.

This is a good intro, but it seems that this sentence are very similar to the the original one, and therefore this will deduct your score. I think you'd better switch it into the passive one. Here it is: A clear comparison of how the prices of fresh fruits and vegetables, sugar and sweets, and carbonated drinks change during the period in question is presented in the line graph.

fresh fruits and vegetables increase

An significant increase was seen in the price of fresh fruits and vegetables

fresh fruits and vegetables dramatically increase almost catch up 350.

The figure for the price of fresh fruits and vegetables increased dramatically and virtually reached a peak of 350%

This is good, but the language presented is not natural. Here is the change:

Writing Feedback / It is true that the Internet affects the way people live. Our life is much more easier now. [2]

At present, the internet was attend in our daily routines.

This idea comes nowhere. Also, you need to write this present tense, not the past one.
Let me give a try: It is true that the Internet affects the way people live.

In addition, people's lives more easier due to the internet.

Again, this contains a grammatically incorrect sentence
Let me give a try: This helps people live more easily.

I more likely to believe that the internet give an ease in various activities.

This sentence has been discussed in the previous ideas. You do not need to include this unless the sentence is redundant.

This essay would stand to propose my proponent to the notions of broaden horizon and easier with communication.

This sounds more complicated. It is always better to use PLAIN ENGLISH rather than BIG WORDS that you do not 100% understand how to use it properly.

As you can see, some changes have made. More attention should be paid on how to provide a very good introduction, since it is your stepping stones to the next paragraph. If you fail here, then I am sure you are in trouble.

Writing Feedback / West Park Secondary School map. The building experienced a significant change from 1950 to 2010. [2]

Ilmi_03..., it is good to see you again here with a very good report writing. However, some changes are needed in particular the opening statement. Here it comes:

The maps compares the differences of a school building, West Park Secondary School, from 1950 to 2010. Overall, it can be seen that, the building experienced a significant change a six-decade period.

The development of West Park Secondary School is illustrated in the maps. A significant alteration from 1950 to 2010 was seen in optimization for the schools' various needs. Some public areas for the past 60 years had no changes.

A good paragraph is written at least with three sentences. As you can see, I utterly develop my opening paragraph with that structure.

the school has been improving its facilities continuously

The grammar is correct, but the meaning is illogical. To tackle this, swap the sentence into a passive form. Schools' facilities had been improved massively.

Hope this helps :D

Writing Feedback / Writing IELTS task 1 : the components of a wind turbine and where it can be placed [2]

There are two diagrams below which show the mechanism from a wind turbine to produce electrical energy for humans.

The diagram shows how a wind turbine is built for electrical energy purposes.

Overall, those are noticeable that first graph is the process of a wind turbine

What stands out from the first graph is that the process of a wind turbine needs some advanced steps.

Please include the original prompt every time you post your writing. The question helps us understand the topic and task given.

Common people accept the best way to get information is Internet

The Internet as the source of the information is the latest communication tool.

on the other hand, it is not only route of communication.

Although this is true to some extent, such a tool opens up more opportunities for those who deal with.

In my perspective, Internet had been supplied preponderance of information to connectedly people.

In my opinion, the Internet has successfully changed the way people communicate.

Yet, it is give to people rampant information and people must be selective to choose an information.

However, people should be wiser to use this technology as the reliability of its information cannot be justified.

Well, it seems that you are trying to use BIG WORDS in this session. For your information, IELTS is not a vocabulary test, so using BIG WORDS will NOT help you score higher. Use plain English is always better, since this language brings clarity.

Writing Feedback / IELTS Writing Task 2 - Degree Study Abroad [2]

hi there.., here are my valuable insights.

the rise of scholarship to study

No, no, no.. you are not being asked to discuss how scholarship plays its role here, and therefore we can say that this essay is off-topic. By doing so, I am sure that this way will deduct your score when it comes to the real exam. It is mandatory that you have to peruse the question more closely to prevent your essay from off topic.

It is different from the previous years when the students tended to study in local university.

Compared to the previous years, more students today are more likely to study abroad.

Study overseas will give the benefits and drawbacks in the future which i will explain in the following paragraphs .

What are the benefits and drawbacks? Say them exactly upfront so readers will grasp the following ideas based on the opening paragraph. Do not be such surprise here, you are in the wrong place.

As you did not present well-written an introductory paragraph, I may assume that this essay lacks task responses and coherence & cohesion. Reading sample answers as many as you can helps you improve your knowledge of IELTS essays. Not only this, your grammar and vocabularies are getting better. Hope this helps :D

Without any graph, I cannot even share how good you deal with the task response and cohesion & coherence. Therefore, I only focus on the technical details of such a report. Here we are;

number of incident.

The/ A number of is always followed by plural noun

While number of robbery (theft from the person) is stable

No significant changes in the number of robberies.

burglary and car theft

The rate of burglary and car theft

A number of burglary and car theft reach the peak of it in 2004.

People are more likely to live

people prefer

It seems that you still have problem understanding the prompt given. A closer look at the question asks you to use past tense, as some sentences are written with past time

In my opinion, to live in rural area has a positive effect such as we will be easier to build a relationship each other.

Also, people would often help other individuals

These two ideas can be merged as to avoid being redundant. Here is the sample: Living in rural area made people easier to build their relationship, and therefore they were more likely to help one another rather than those who live in other areas.

In reverse, It also has a negative effect like they will dependence with other people in the same community.

The converse would be true as they rely too much on others.

live in the small community have a benefit like we can help other people that would become a way for being closer with them.

More benefits such as close and string boundary relationships can be seen if only people lived small community

In spite of that, it also has drawback such people in the rural area more likely to wait for favor from another person.

However, people are more vulnerable to live due to their dependency.

So, it will decrease personal quality of rural people.

This contrasted to the figure for English teachers presenting a marked decline between above 70% and 40% over the period in question. There was a decrease of about 30% in 2 years.

Faridadwi18, this is off-topic. The information written is not correct since the report does not accurately cover what is being asked in the graph. You have to talk about the fact that the graph being presented was in relation to the number of teachers being hired to teach the two foreign languages within the period of 2002-2007. As you can see, the opening and overview paragraphs will cause you to have a faulty claim in the report, meaning that this essay is not delivering proper and accurate information.

Writing Feedback / Years ago, living in a small community was a common thing. Now the world has urbanized. [2]

Overall, these are well-written paragraphs. Not only that, you have answered what is being asked in the prompt. Just make sure that you write them due to time constraint.

Recently, the world has urbanized.

This is a grammatically incorrect sentence, since the word urbanized. is a transitive verb, meaning that this verb needs a corresponded object.

years ago where most of the world population live in rural areas that are

The time duration is in the past time. Writing such a sentence with past tense is more acceptable. A closer look at this:
years ago where most of the world population WHO LIVED in rural areas that WERE

positive effects of live in small community are

this experiences positive effects on people living in small community such as ...

the negative effects are high interdependence and limited freedom of expressions which can restrict progress and success of each member of the community can be the detrimental effects that should be taken into consideration .

live in small community provides merit

Living in small community brings considerable merits (always add more adjectives. see the red one)

rather than live in big society

rather than LIVING in larger society

However, it presents demerit which could obstruct

The reverse would be true as this could obstruct

Writing Feedback / Most people believe educational stakeholders are the best teacher. Agree or disagree? [3]

for me,

Write I think/ believe and so on, or swap with passive sentence: It is thought/ believed

for children. ADD LINKING WORD HERE They give

it of use

Grammatically incorrect form. What are you trying to say here?

Although, most

no comma in between.

Overall, it is a good try, but you need to consider some changes I've made. Let me give you a try;

Parents are the best teacher. Agree or disagree?

Children are thoroughly influenced by parents (1). For some people, they argue that parents teach their children in the best way. For some other, parents are not always the best teachers (2). In my view, albeit they are never the best one in education, they take more responsible to care about their children, and therefore this affects children's later development and attitudes (3).

The advanced steps to create an opening paragraph are as follows:
1. Hook, a simple sentence with no more than ten phrases long to attract readers' attention
2. Background information, if you have a quite long prompt, then simply restate the ideas in the question with your own words. Otherwise, if you have the short one, creating a story related to the topic given is a must

3. Thesis statement, it is a claim that you have made about.

hope this helps :D

Writing Feedback / Before I die i want to.... (doing what you want) [4]

Hi there..., here is my valuable feedback.

Chandy Chang is one who cares about sharing in public spaces.

Let me tell you that short sentences are always better than the long ones. It works concisely and is easy to understand.
Chandy Chang cares very much about sharing in public spaces

She used simple method such as sticker, pencil, and chalk.

Her method is familiar with sticker, pencil, and chalk

She has conducted project that ask some question to society in the public spaces.

She asks audience groups to fill in a detailed questionnaire to conduct her project.

For example she asked about how much my neighbour paid for flat, how we can share our memory and how we can share our care to others

The checklist will provide the groups with questions to ask about flat rent and to take a bit more care with others

It is not the grammar points, but the natural English language that you should consider. Some students rely too much on grammar, but nevertheless their sentences do not represent proper English. A heap of luck.

Writing Feedback / The chart gives information about problems that people who live abroad may face. [4]

Hi there..., let me give you some valuable insight as per you report writing.
Bear in mind that including a picture of the graph every time you post IELTS task 1 is a must. This helps readers understand what is being asked. Without any graph, we cannot even share detailed feedback.

The chart gives us information about cities problems when they living abroad

A breakdown of some problems that people face when they go abroad.

Overall, it can be see that the problems remain stagnant although there are slow fluctuation.

Overall trends show no changes, while some fluctuate over period in question.

The main fact that stand out is middle age inhabitants have the biggest percentage facing the problems.

Compared to all aged groups of people, the cohort of middle aged groups experiences more problems with the highest percentage.

Hope this helps :D

Hi there..., let me give some valuable insight as per your short opening paragraphs.
It is always good to present you ideas exactly upfront, although some students trying to generate very simple claims, by doing such as

mentioned the drawbacks

more weight on benefits

There are several notions

bring a positive ambience and benefit

in their introductory paragraphs. Presenting ideas in the first paragraph helps readers understand what you will discuss in the following paragraphs since the ideas and sentences will move smoothly and logically from one to the other . More importantly, this approach gain you more chances to pass exam with flying colors.

Again, you need to keep your sentences natural as to good flow.

Community service which trending in this day and age is non-paying activity that is performed by a group of people for the benefit of the public.

The idea that performing community service in daily life is the most valued by some people.

Writing Feedback / Most citizens claim that spectacular landmarks are essential for a town [3]

Disscuss both these views an give your own opinion.

When you are being asked to answer this type of question, then you need to present not only people's ideas, but also your idea(s) towards introduction. Let me give you an example:

It is true that the government should concern more on the importance of futuristic tall buildings, while the improvement of public service such as schools and hospitals also plays an important role in people's development.This essay agrees with the latter argument because school has a major influence on educational outcome and hospital is the health care system for citizen in one country.

The blue sentences indicate people's ideas extracted from the prompt itself, while the green one shows your opinion corresponding the initiate view. Hope this helps. A heap of luck.

Writing Feedback / The two conventional techniques to take the water to be flowed into the farmlands. [2]

The diagrams give information about two conventional techniques to take the water to be flowed into the farmlands.

A good paragraph consists of at least three sentences. I suggest rewriting this paragraph above.
A brief comparison of how water is collected for the aim of irrigation. As seen, different methods are used in this diagram. While the first diagram shows how two menial workers are involved in this process namely swing basket, the latter one using rope and bucket presents more complicated way to take water.

The first method called 'swing basket'....

IN ORDER TO WORK WITH SWING BASKET AS THE FIRST METHOD IN THIS PROCESS, PEOPLE NEED SOME SIMPLE EQUIPMENT. IT IS LONG STRONG ROPES TIED IN A BAMBOOED OR LEATHERED BASKET WHERE TWO PEOPLE HOLD EACH OTHER. THIS IS USED TO TAKE WATER IN 1-2 METERS DEPTH

Writing Feedback / Being a tourist destination country has flaw effects like littering, pollution, prostitution, etc. [3]

Hi there...., thanks for sharing your essay here.
As seen, you have presented a good essay, but you need to consider some points in order to pass your exam with flying colors.
Let's discuss the introductory paragraph as the first concern.
There will be no big diversities between IELTS and academic writing introductions. Students are suggested taking chances to develop their opening paragraph with care. Such a paragraph consists of background information and thesis statement. A closer look at your intro shows that the thesis written is not well-developed, since the ideas are not stated exactly upfront, and therefore this will deduct your score.

some negative effects

give bad influence

These two phrases are bad examples, since they do not bring any values and are commonly found in students' IELTS essays. A lil bit improvement as follows:

The idea that tourists' activities bring more negative impacts on destination countries is the most valued by some people. Some claim that this results in the amount of pollution from cars and dropping litter increasing significantly. Therefore, It is believed that tourists should concern on the areas where they visit with care and opt green activities as preferable holiday options .

Now, fast forwarding to the 2nd and 3rd body paragraph:
The issues: littering, pollution and social life interruptions need more detailed explanations. Asking journalistic questions, such as who, when, where, why, what and how are one of the brilliant ways to dig what's behind the story. Some students share their own stories, while others are trying to mark up the ones by presenting "fake data" as to concerning on fully-developed examples. I am sure that you can do this, as well. More importantly, one idea for one paragraph is always better than multi ideas for one paragraph. By doing so, you have more chances to cogitate about the issue more specifically.

Again, solution paragraph is too vague as the ideas comes nowhere.
-

follow the rule which government make

Which rule?
-

keep the environment

how to keep the environment?
-

ecotourism,

Not all people know this word, so you need to explain this with ease

Your task is to improve the weak points that I have highlighted. A heap of luck.
