Re: Please advise my writing task 2 Thank you so much:)

Hello!

The two main paragraphs just introduce the issues. You need more development, along with possible remedies/solutions.

Vocabulary and grammar are clearly limited in terms of range, but accuracy is reasonable.

Basically, just too short and simple.

Hello! Some strange vocabulary here - eyes-span, grasping power??? You claim that the criticisms of TV are baseless, yet totally fail to refute them.

Re: Please help analyse T2. Thanks in advanced!

Hello! Overall, quite a good essay. Ideas are clear and valid, but could be more developed. For example, you mention poor governance in some countries. If charities take over the responsibilities, does that mean the government can simply continue to be bad at its job? Same thing with unemployment - ...

Re: Please advice may exam next week

Hello!

The basic ideas are good, but not expressed very well. There are many grammar mistakes which can make the essay hard to understand. This is often because the sentences are too long. There are also some errors with vocabulary, e.g. academia and modal schools.

All the best,
David

Hello!

Fiercely debated? Really?

Your points are good. There is only a limited range of grammar but accuracy is good. Vocabulary is also good, with some topic-specific items.
