Re: writing task 2 please someone check it thanks.

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...

Re: Rewrite free healthcare task 2 please evaluate

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...

Re: Discuss both side and give your opinion essay

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. According to your argument, Japan should have massive unemployment and crime. It doesn't. With regard to grammar, you tend to use 'will' rather than more...

Hello! Your points are good, but I'm afraid that the excessive number of grammatical errors can interfere with meaning. You do develop the points and vocabulary is used quite well. Try not to have one main paragraph twice as long as the other. Basically, time to get out the grammar books. I also sug...

Hello!

Good essay! Your points are clear, valid and developed - well done!

Vocabulary and grammar are both good, with a nice range and high accuracy. However, please be careful with 'will' and try to use a wider variety of modals to express exact meaning.

All the best,

Vocabulary is a little limited (again, more specific development needed) but you certainly have enough vocab to answer the question. Grammar is also quite good, with a nice va...

Re: Pleases evaluate my speaking (Leisure time)

Hello! I see that you have posted 2 topics. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it's probably better to wait for an evaluation and then do a second set a few days or a week later. Fluency - Speech is a little slow and there are quite a lot of pauses and some repetition. This is clearly your weakest poi...

Hello! Great question!!! First main paragraph - The first 3 sentences are wrong. Some people inherit a lot of money. Others rely on welfare. Then there is charity.
