Re: Please evaluate task2 (saving water) Thank you:)
Hello! Your points are basically reasonable, but I think that you need to develop them in a clearer way, for instance by using specific examples. One or two points are a little unclear and need clarification, e.g. how to reduce water use and are people really unaware of the cost of water? Vocabulary...

Re: Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject
Hello! Overall, a reasonable essay. Your points are good. The development is reasonable, but a little repetitious and I think you would do better to use specific examples. The grammar is quite good, though I'd prefer to see a wider range of structures, e.g. conditionals. You do tend to use 'will' in...

Hello! Overall, a good essay. You make some very good points, but in the conclusion you fail to say why you favour one argument over the other. Grammatically, you use 'will' too often. However, in other parts of the essay, you do use modals very well. Vocabulary is very good in terms of both range a...

Hello! Your points are basically good, but some of the details are unclear or incorrect. I'm pretty sure ping-pong diplomacy started around 1972, not 1941.

Hello!
This is a very good essay. Your points are clear and developed. There is a very good range of vocabulary with some high level items. The range of grammar is a little limited, but still good and accuracy is good too.
To get a very high score, you need to work on the grammar.

Hello! Your points are good but not well-developed. (The point about a thousand hours is incorrect, but the basic idea of constant practice is true.)
