Writing Feedback /
'Harmful effects on our environment' - Benefits and Drawbacks of Urbanisation [10]
Thanks you all for the feedbacks, Simone, Liebe, notoman.
First, I'm sorry for not asking you for corrections, perhaps,some part of me, I might not expect someone would correct my mistakes with such a effort, thanks again for that.
And I'm sorry for the late reply since America and Ausrtalia's are in different time zone and my school is keeping me very busy.
I know I'm not ready for the writing but, since my parents pouring money on my english course for the university entrance, I want to pass the english course as soon as I can, so I must write something even if that has many problems^^;;
I looked through your replies throughly which were exactly I was looking for.
Simone) [could not have been predicted one hundred years ago]
sorry, I don't quite understand why you used present perfect in this sentence. How can we not predict problems which we are already facing now.
I'm not sure if I'm being rude quetioning back like this, but you should know I focused only on my grammatical problem. As I haven't even talked to foreigner before I arrive here so I don't know about your culture, so I apology in advence. Please teach me if you feel I'm being rude cause I really don't know. If there's anything you want to say as advise, please^^
Liebe) yes the IELTs test only look for the english fluency and granmatical mistakes besides ideas unless the stream goes completly wrong.
I only wrote sentences complexly because I don't know how to shorten the sentences with short of my vocab and idiom background which I'm learning seperatly.
you erased 'of course' at first, was that awkward for you to read or just completly wrong to use?
[it's environment suffers as a result of the exploitation.]
how can two verbs are in one sentence?
[this is done at the cost of the environment]
I don't understand this sentence T.T
Notoman) First, I gotta say you surprised me with such detail explanation. Anybody would believe if you say you're an official english teature, and your nitpicking is always welcome,bytheway.
[urbanisation is proceeding so rapidly that it is generating largely unpredicted problems ]
my original sentence just finish like this, but my english teacher doesn't like this and said if I want to use this sentence, I have to insert 'one hundred years ago', so I just put that at last of the sentence;;
-second paragraph of yours-
[I did want to point out that environment is almost always singular in English]
In this sentence, you put in 'did' even though there is an another verb. Is additional 'did' implies explanation why you mentioned the sentences which Liebe already mentioned? I learned it is only used as emphasis purposes.
I'm still not sure why I was wrong to use 'new area'in the second of HarryK box.
In urbanisation, government clears out nasty suburb, then there's big empty space as you referred, and I explained 'new area' with where the factories will built on?
Like you mentioned I'm having a problem with discerning nuances in vocab, and my concept of each vocab is very vague, so I was starting to see english-english dictionary,not korean-english dic, but thanks for the advice^^.
I well listened your adj lecture, thank you.
-seventh paragraph of yours- at the last sentence,, [increase the government's wealth through taxes collected] can you just shorten like this? I mean,,
I know the meaning is [increase the government's wealth through taxes which is collected by nation] , but I don't understand how it works, I mean,, is that enough? just past tense of verb you wanna explain? or collected is necessary in this sentence;can't be ommited? is this rule can be applied in every sentence?
I really don't like bothering someone with such a miscellaneous question like this allthemore I preffer study alone, but I sometimes can't find answer easily even in broadness of internet. and you should know I really appreciate the help even it is from the online.(I was pondering if the online is correct or just online is correct)
[The only thing I would do is omit~~ ]
[The only thing I'm doing is omit~~ ]
[The only thing I will do is omit~~ ]
can you tell me the differences? I can't discern the nuances.Can I use
the lest two sentences instead of what you used in the 8th paragraph of yours?
-in the last second of HarryK box-
Should it be it seems(not it seemed) in academic essay-not especially IELTS writing?
-last paragraph of yours-
[We would also say to be critical of instead of to be critic on]
I really can't understand the structure as well as meaning.
You've been really helpful, and I think you deserve english teacher in your community and peaple will love it. It is natural that you can't explain grammatically some expressions you just use.When it comes to that case, the most helpful solution would be getting as many examples as possible in the learners view, I think.
Althogh there's numorous quetions left, I gotta get going as the time is 3am here;It took a lot for me to review all of your replies;;
Thanks again for everything / God bless you.

I didnt' see you posting , Sean. thanks for the reply(that means I was reviewing this for over 4hours ;;)
Notoman))My native language is Korean(not Norh korea - peaple always asking me that,,). I never wrote essay in english before I came here thanks to the Korean enducation, maybe that's why my reading score is 7.5 ,but writing score is 4 .
listening score is 7, speaking score is 4.
I'm always afraid to use article because everytime I use, I'm not sure if i'm using it in a right way.
I really wanna broad english one by one but my english mid-test is on this thursday(writing essay-topic is related to environment), and I don't have time for that T.T .
thanks for your additional explinations! I really gotta go sleep ^^
cheers.
