Writing Feedback / internet is the great innovation in our lives; be selective to see many effects [6]


You don't need to use this.
In IELTS, this is called 'Lazy expression', belonging more to oral presentation.


I have used this phrase. Also, from some corners of the world I see that many students think this 'memorized expression' is much more acceptable. To tell you the truth it doesn't impress the readers at all because it is too common for words. You'd better rewrite this expression.

Speeches / IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 - Tell me about the house/flat you live in [3]

Even though this typescript is required for speaking, putting commas between phrases is a must.
Tips for commas: read one of your sentences aloud and see where you would naturally pause, where you would draw a breath. If it's a short pause, like that just was, you probably need a comma.

You are being asked some familiar questions in IELTS speaking part 1. Your task is to response the questions briefly.
If you think you need to elaborate the responses, like you did above. My suggestion: save it for the second and third parts.

Hope this helps :D

Nice to meet you too :D
Well, some say it is ready-to-use phrases to help students enrich vocabularies and develop writing skills. Therefore some phrases become "popular" to adjust in essays. However, these can be categorized as memorized languages, and overuse of connective words (see: in following essay) This is a know problem, which is easily penalized by assessors.

My suggestion: try to make your own expression, by paraphrasing the perfect phrases

After reading the intro, I think you'd better rewrite it. Here do I show you.
Today, working condition has changed the way of people life. Some people spend many hours at work. This affects quality time with family and friends. I would argue that the competition for job and modern electronic inventions shift people' attention away from interpersonal activities.

Writing Feedback / IELTS; The ability of students in the areas of literacy and numeracy have declined [15]


And the same to you, kobehstan.
Let me give you a piece of advice :D
1. For the next essay, I suggest you to leave one space every time you open a new paragraph. Why? the first thing the examiner sees is your layout, which shows whole of your essay. If the layout is difficult to read, which is let's say: no spaces between paragraphs, then he/she immediately know your writing needs more work to read.

2. Have a look at the two structures for the introduction and overall essay offered by Dumi. Also, I strongly suggest to follow those structures.
3. Before start writing, you'd better analyze the prompt in order to earn a good score for Task response, like this:
Statement: Many people believe that the ability of students in the areas of literacy and numeracy have declined in recent times.
Task: Discuss the causes of this problem and offers some possible solutions to it.
Make sure you answer the task
4. Read as many texts as you can to improve your writing skills. Reading texts not only gives you some new ideas about different topics, but it also improves your vocab and grammar.

Hope this helps :D

A brief note from an IELTS trainer: Many IELTS students become obsessed with 'linkers' - words or phrases that link ideas together in a paragraph e.g. firstly, secondly, furthermore, moreover. There is nothing wrong with using linkers, and they can certainly help you to write good paragraphs. (My personal view) I am afraid that you are overusing the linkers. I think the better way is to avoid using lots of the connective words. If you think that you need to earn coherence and cohesion, pay particular attention to demonstrate cohesion.

Writing Feedback / IELTS; The ability of students in the areas of literacy and numeracy have declined [15]


Topic: Many people believe that the ability of students in the areas of literacy and numeracy have declined in recent times.
Task: Discuss the causes of this problem and offers some possible solutions to it.

The intro you have is good, but too long. Try to make your intro short and simple. Therefore readers are easy to catch the ideas you want to deliver.

Here do I give you a try:
Every person needs to be illiterate and numerate. Some people claim there is a decline in the areas of literacy and numeracy among students. By identifying the published sources of problems, I would propose some elegant solutions to a very complex set of these.

A short note: For me, the areas of literacy and numeracy are not limited to the skills of reading and writing and the ability to use numbers. Let's see: most people nowadays use the basic skills of these to participate in many aspect of life. One example is leadership.
