Re: Please evaluate my essay

Hello! This is a good essay. Your points are good and developed. I appreciate that, in the first main paragraph, you specify IT companies in India. The range and accuracy of the grammar is good.

Re: Please evaluate my essay Thanks :)

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! This is a BRILLIANT question!!! This phrase is SO BADLY used by many IELTS candidates! Let's see how you do ... The introduction is a little long (compared with the main paragraphs).

Re: Writing Task 2 - Improving public health by increasing sports facilities

Hello! Overall, a good essay. I think that the crime aspect is a little weak, and you do seem to focus on basketball, but your other points/examples are good and you do add some development. Organisation is clear with good use of connectives. Vocabulary and grammar are good. Be a bit careful with mo...

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,

Hello! I like this essay. Your points are simple, but valid. I think you need to develop/explain them in more detail though. 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...

Re: Kindly evaluate task2 we go to work to earn a cash

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. The rest of the paragraph is, to me, a little incoherent. I'm not totally sure what you are trying to say ... or even which side of the ...

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...

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...
