Writing Feedback / Outline of the importance of confidence - feeling of trust in one's ability, quality and judgement [4]

Hi minhthupung,

Overall your essay is organized well, but let me give you some suggestions to improve your writing skill.
Remember:
The first paragraph of an essay (introductory paragraph), consist of two elements: building sentence and thesis statement .
Building sentences introduce the topic and provide background information about the thesis statement.
Thesis statement present the topic, writer's opinion, and the main idea of the essay.

A good topic sentence is direct and concise. A sentence that is too general or too specific is not a good topic sentence.


From your introductory paragraph, I found that you need thesis statement.

Let me try to write it.

Confidence is the feeling of trust in one's ability, quality and judgement. It is the ticket that takes you to a brand new world. Therefore, confidence should be possessed by everyone since it make you easier to express yourself, as a means to gain more opportunities and better result in study and work, and it makes you happier.

Than, in each body paragraph, you can explain your thesis statement you have wrote in introductory paragraph

Happy writing ;)

You should choose one (clear and consistent throughout the essay)
for example, if you agree, you should write 2 body paragraphs agree and 1 paragraph disagree or 1 body paragraph for agree (fully explanation and clear example, and the component of the 'agree paragraph' more than 'disagree paragraph').

If possible, add the information from outside source to support the writer's argument effectively.

Writing Feedback / The prediction about the number of cars in use in twenty years from now [4]

Hi Esmeralda,

It is possible to made many mistakes in the first time making an essay.
My suggestion:

+ you should pay more attention in organizing your essay.
the topic essay is "More cars today than in the past (20 years ago)".
Make sure, your building sentence introduce the topic and give background information about the topic.
In thesis statements presents the essay topic, the writer's position, and the main ideas supporting the position. Unfortunately, your essay hasn't all of the components.

If the thesis statements is clear, you can organize it more easily for body paragraphs.

Writing Feedback / IELTS TASK 2 : THE BENEFIT OF THE INTERNET FOR COMMUNICATION AND LITERATURE [3]

Hi Asep,

Overall, the content of your essay is great. However, the level of formality you write with should be determined by the expectations of your audience and your purpose. In the first paragraph, I found that you use an idiom "As a coin has two sides ". It is acceptable for speaking, but avoid using slang or idiomatic expressions in academic writing.

Good Job!
