Hello,

it is about media social can improve our English
Kurnia, Pallavi brought up a good point. When I first read your essay, I thought you were going to talk about the English language and its importance in our global world. So when you mentioned Facebook towards the end, I did not really get the connection at first. That is the only negative aspect of your essay. The rest of the essay, in support of your stand on the prompt, actually makes a lot of sense.
I would advice you to learn how to write a better introduction though. Make sure that you present the proper prompt summary or restatement in the introduction so that the reader will actually know what you will be discussing in the essay. If I were the one to have written the introduction to this essay, I would have worded it in the following manner:
English is the most important language in the world. Known as the universal language, it is often said that even if you don't speak the native language of a foreign country, it does not pose a problem because people will always know how to speak English there, no matter how limited their use of the language is. Now, because not all of the countries in the world admit to being able to speak in English, it is important to remember that these people still want to learn how to speak, read, and write in the language. While generations past would enroll in decades of English classes and even go so far as to live in America or Britain to learn the proper use of the language, that is no longer necessary these days. All people have to do to better learn how to speak, write, and read in English is use social media. Facebook, is actually one of the social media sites that encourages the use of English for member interaction is a perfect example of how social media can help people improve their English language skills.
The important part of the introduction is that you prove that you understand the prompt and that you can present preliminary evidence to support your idea within the rest of the essay. I hope I was able to clearly show that to you in my example :-)
ahh sorry,
how about this
Facebook is one of media social where the users can connect with other people in the world. They use Facebook because it is not only for connecting with other people, but also can be a media of learning English. Facebook can help to improve the English skills of English second learner. There are three skills that we can improve from Facebook.
As i see you have repeated 'English' many times , it is better to prefer pronoun instead of repetition.
Not a bad revision Kurnia. However, it can be better. Let me clean up the grammar for you below:
Facebook is one of THE media social MEDIA CHANNELS where the users can connect with other people in the world. They use Facebook because it is not only for ALLOWS PEOPLE TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS connecting with other people , but IT also can be a media of MEDIUM FOR learning English. Facebook can help to improve the English skills of English second LANGUAGE learnerS. There are three skills that we ESL LEARNERS can improve from BY USING Facebook.
Your intention and message is actually detectable in your introduction. However, it is not presented in an easy to understand manner. If you follow the revisions I made above in your paragraph, you will find that the meaning becomes clearer and the restated prompt comes across as far improved as well. Always aim for clarity of the restated prompt and your opinion in any essay that you write :-)
