Re: Please evaluate my graph

Hello! revere? outraced? You do not mention enough of the data, so there is a lack of detail. However, you have got the main trends. The range of grammar is limited (although you have correctly used the past tense!). Overall, reasonable, but more detail and a wider range of grammar would make this a...

Re: [TASK 2] Evaluate my essay please thank you :)

Hello!

Drugs and medicines ARE tested on people.

Overall, not bad, but some sentences are very long and would be clearer if divided into shorter ones. some vocabulary is used incorrectly, but generally meaning is clear.

All the best,

Re: Please evaluate my essay (task 2)

Hello! The introduction is only a little shorter than the main paragraphs. This indicates that the main paragraphs are not well-developed. The argument about crime may be valid, but it doesn't really explain why people would still expose themselves to it by working in cities. It also doesn't relate ...

Re: Repost Task 2- Without the success of career, life becomes meaningless

Hello! I think the key thing to note is that you have not referred in detail to any other forms of success apart from at work. In the first paragraph, you seem to be focusing on a very select group of people. Do you mean that everyone who doesn't achieve fame is a failure? I don't think that vocabul...

Re: self-studying so really need someone to correct my essay. Thank you

Hello! What a great question! The second main paragraph is significantly shorter than the first and the conclusion is too short, particularly compared to the introduction. The Norwegian example is completely untrue. 5 million Norwegians could not possibly reduce their emissions by 50% by only using ...

Hello! Not a bad essay, but there are some problems that need to be dealt with. First, your arguments are often assertions with little or no evidence. Car use DID drop slightly during the oil crisis of the 70s, but that was mainly due to fuel shortages. Car ownership did NOT drop. In Europe, petrol ...

Hello! This is a good essay. I like the second point, though I'm not sure how true it is! (Perhaps a university could do a study!?) You don't look at the opposing view, for which there is much evidence, and that is the key problem with the essay. Vocabulary, grammar and organisation are all very goo...

Hello! The first main paragraph is good, but the second contains a few key problems. The point about contributing to the system is unclear. As you mention, 'free' health care is paid from taxes, so most people do actually contribute. If they DON'T pay the extra cost, they DON'T feel the burden??? Th...

Re: Repost - Pls give me your comments

Hello! The range and accuracy of grammar is reasonable to some extent. However, a greater variety, particularly conditionals, would make your arguments clearer (more later). The range of vocabulary appears reasonable, but I don't think that you have really used it to create a convincing argument. Qu...

Hello! Basically, quite a good essay. Your point about jobs is often cited with regard to this topic, but it actually doesn't stand up in reality.
