Re: Please evaluate my writing task 2

Hello! I don't understand the fourth sentence of the first main paragraph, though I think I know what you want to say. Overall, this is a very good essay. I'd prefer a more personal conclusion, but your opinion is clear. The points are all valid and most are well-developed and clear. The variety of ...

Re: stammering problem

Hello Mandeep! I'm not familiar with the situation in India. Is it possible to go to a foreign doctor to get a certificate? Perhaps you could check with the BC/IDP to see what they say. I don't actually know what happens to the speaking scores for candidates with stammers. We have procedures for exa...

Re: IELTS Academic Writing 1 - Pleaaaase assess my writing

Hello! (Please post in the writing section next time.) Make your summary clearer and use it to look at the overall trend rather than just one or two pieces of information. Your description of the detail is good in terms of describing the line, but not so good in terms of grammar. Vocabulary is a lit...

Hello! Fluency - Good speed. Pauses are generally appropriate. Coherence - Very good use of a range of connectives. Vocabulary - Very good! Perfect use of 'bs'. Great examples in your answers.

Re: I would be very grateful if someone could give me some feedback

Hello! Introduction is nearly as long as the main paragraphs! I'm not very convinced by the main points. Companies that use trees usually DO plant more - it's how they make money!

Re: Please review - Task 1 letter writing

Hello!

'reckon' is too informal.

The 'inconvenience' might only be to you, if the tutor disagrees!

All the points are covered. Vocabulary is good with some higher level items. Grammar is good, both in terms of range and accuracy.

So, overall, a good letter.

Hello! Overall, quite a good essay. I'd prefer the conclusion to be a little more personal, but it expresses a clear opinion. The main points are valid and are developed to some extent. However, sometimes, the development is unclear, e.g. Indian companies have the best benefits - how are they better...

Hello! Not bad. You do raise good points, but you tend to make 'jumps' in thinking/logic, e.g. you do not explain why school trips WILL (= for sure) make children more interested in science. When you say that the USA is the most developed country in the world, what do you mean exactly? (Again, this ...

Hello! That's quite a long introduction. First main paragraph - It's a matter of opinion, so it wouldn't really affect your score, but isn't one of the biggest problems in modern cities traffic jams?

Hello! Basically, a good essay. I notice that you use 'will' a lot. How do you know for sure that these results WILL happen?
