Re: An essay I did prior to the one I submitted last

Hi Rosh, Your essay demonstrates your ability to write complex sentences, sometimes I think they are too complex for readers to grasp on the main idea of the sentence. There are several places where you have problems conjugating verbs. Overall, I don't think your answer is quite convincing for me. ...

On the negative side, I think too many words, like what Allen said, you need to write around 275 words to fit all your points. If you write plenty of words, examiners find it difficult to go through all singl...

hi Allen, 1. When you mention that I need to use past tense.
