Writing Feedback / IELTS In my opinion government help should be given to those who work on art that is less commercial [4]

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

here, put your opinion and give some relevant sentences to support your opinion, so your opinion could be stronger

While some people think that creative artists should be able to be funded by alternative ways, I ague that a certain amount of funding from the governments is still needed.

you made a small mistake here, even it is small, it could be a big mistake if you do not pay more attention to them

Writing Feedback / Ielts: Just like different types of foods, different measures are required to improve public health [5]

However, this change results in many health problems such as obesity. One of the most important reasons for this is that we do not have enough physical exercises in our daily life. Therefore, public health would be improved to a large extent if more sports facilities are available, which could encourage people to have more sports and keep physically fit.

here, it is better if you explain more about obesity, the effects from obesity for human life, so not only mention the factor that causes obesity but also the impacts of it

Writing Feedback / Living in country or city? Answer depends on the ages, hobbies and gender of each person. [3]

I think the answer for this question depends on the ages , hobbies , and gender of each person. In my opinion, I prefer city for different reasons. In the city, there are many schools and the students will have better education. In addition, people will have more job opportunities. Moreover, the city has more recreation facilities that people can visit and have fun time such as shopping centers, clubs, movie theaters, parks, restaurants, and markets. Furthermore, the city has lots of transportation that people can use like cars, buses, airplanes, and trains. Also, city has different services that helps people includes hospital and library. If you look for any kind of foods, drugs you can buy it from there. On the other hand, of course country has an advantage than city. For example, the air in the country is cleaner than the city. In addition of having a more natural place that people can visit and have a more enjoyable time, citizens in the country have an opportunity of having an organic food because they can plant any kind of foods they want such as seeds, nuts, fruit, and vegetables. In short, I think the city is the best for me.

Writing Feedback / IELTS: 'appropriate infrastructure to spur growth and prevent the damage caused to environment' [4]

In conclusion, I strongly believe developing countries which undergo this problem of compromising the environment should think in the long term and plan innovatively to build infrastructure and promote business in order to give a better world for the future generations.

it will seem more interesting if you separate it into two sentences, this is too long for only one sentence

Writing Feedback / IELTS : 'We should have choice to play' - dangerous sports should be banned? I disagree. [6]

However I believe that those sports should not be banned with some reasons. Firstly we should have right to choose.

these words such as however and firstly should be foolowed by a comma to show that they are sentence connectors

To sum up, some people may saythose sports should be banned , but I do not agree. We should have choice to play, and they should enjoy it under proper rules.
reply / quote

these red words may be changed to be better phrase, if you use them it is called 'repetition'
so,,don't use the same phrase in an essay

Writing Feedback / IELTS - Education should be considered as the most important factor in a country's success [10]

your intro is written well, but I found a small mistake that most ielts takers give less attention,,after the word such as : however, therefore, etc,,you should put a comma

Beside the economy, the national education, health, environment and culture play even more significant roles. In fact, the education provides skilled workforces for a country's job market.

this one,,it will be better if you explain more about some points above,,

Also, companies with low quality employers will hardly compete with others overseas.

to make it clear,,you can add some relevant examples from what is happening now in this planet

Writing Feedback / Ielts: Is it necessary to teach children handwriting? [3]

here is my example,,
Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

we needed a 'strong opinion' answer to the question above. Here's my suggested outline for a 4-paragraph essay:

Introduction: make your opinion clear (e.g. I completely disagree)
First reason why you disagree
Second reason why you disagree
Conclusion: repeat / summarise your opinion
Note: It is possible to mention the opposite view in one of the main paragraphs, but you should make it very clear that you disagree with it.
