Hello! Overall, quite good. you have covered the main points and noted the key trends. There are a lot of grammatical errors, which could hold the overall score down, so do some serious work on that. You used the past tense correctly sometimes, but not always! Vocabulary is quite good, though there ...

Hello! Overall, this essay is quite good. Introduction - Good. First main paragraph - Clear points with some development. Second main paragraph - You don't say why we haven't shifted to alternative energy already. The logging points are flawed. First, there already are penalties and a lot of replant...

Hello! Still not there! The examples are still personal, not general. The argument regarding disabled people is also a very specific point - most people do not need special facilities to use the metro. Besides, most metro systems do have facilities for the disabled. Furthermore, cars are not suitabl...

Hello! The real problem is that your arguments are presented in very general terms. You have not explained why learning history is not useful - especially for someone who wants to be university history professor! What do you mean by vocational courses and why should all students learn them? The conc...

Hello! I think that you have probably made an error in going 'worldwide' on this one. You may find that your arguments are invalid. Salaries - Well, there you go! Not all countries pay teachers low salaries and teachers in good schools can make relatively high salaries. Certainly, in most countries,...

Hello! Excellent question! Let's hope you don't go for the 'more awareness' answer which would be wrong as the statement already mentions that there's a good level of awareness! Introduction - Oh! There it is!!! 'raising awareness'!!! :twisted: First main paragraph - Now, I really like that point, b...

Hello! Well, first I think that we have to change 'weather' to 'accommodation'. If you write to a hotel complaining about the weather, well they might recommend a doctor! The grammatical errors are such that it is not clear if you are still in the hotel or not. Lots of vocabulary errors - approximat...

Hello! The introduction is the same length as the second main paragraph. So, there are no problems with everyone working and studying from home? In that case, why aren't we all doing it? Freelance workers most certainly did exist before computers! Grammar is reasonable. There are lots of mistakes an...

Hello! Popular goods? Do you mean consumer goods? This is real problem because it makes the whole paragraph incomprehensible. The first sentence of the second paragraph is not true. If I am thirsty and there is no water to buy, it really doesn't matter whether a company makes two brands of water whi...

Hello!

Excellent question!

You only have to look at both sides if the question tells you to. However, if you only look at one side, it does suggest that there are no arguments on the other side, which might not be true.

All the best,
David

Hello! A weak and unconvincing essay. The first main paragraph simply sets the background. No examples are given. The second paragraph uses research which almost every examiner will disregard as fake. I found nothing about it on the internet. Even if it is true, it only tells us what you already wro...

Hello! Overall, an apparently reasonable essay, but you look at the issues in a very simplistic way. To take the clearest example, you claim that anyone can communicate with anyone "at the click of a button". Really? In the next paragraph, you fail to note the possible negative effects. Ag...

Hello! I don't understand the first sentence of the first main paragraph. Why aren't governments (with the exception of North Korea - bizarrely!) able to provide sufficient public transport? Overall, not a bad essay, though there are points that are unclear or undeveloped. Vocabulary and grammar are...

Hello!

Overall a good essay. Points are clear and developed with good grammar and vocabulary. I don't like the 'it is recommend[ed]' in the conclusion - who is recommending this? The big mistake is that the conclusion does not contain your clear opinion (see previous remark!).

All the best,
David

Hello! Stick with the solid, generally true arguments, rather than spending time on bullying. And I'm sure that withdrawing a victim child from school is not a great way to deal with bullying. The point about efficiency would be better as a single paragraph. How are parents going to supervise their ...

Hello! Are fixed punishments really the ultimate deterrent? Seems unlikely. I'm not sure what you mean by making exceptions. There might be good reasons for doing this, but you need to be clear. The law which is full of privileges? Again, I'm not sure what you mean. Discernable differences for the m...

Hello!

To be totally honest, I'm not completely sure II understand the question, but in the example you give, the answer is certainly 'not given'. The two statements are not related, i.e. a good person can kill and a bad person might not kill.

All the best,
David

Hello! Actually, the saying stresses the importance of necessity for technological progress, not inventors. Disease free society? Where? Spelling - noble, pandemic, flu Excellent point about inventions in the medical field - few candidates would think of that! I think that the conclusion is a little...

Hello! You have got the main points and included relevant data, but the vocabulary and grammar are not particularly good. 'Given are figures ...' - Yuk! 'The sector of agriculture dominated ...' - You mean that the agricultural sector used the most water I'm not sure that domestic water use was 'neg...

Hello! An easy question, but one that could be asked in the test. Regardless, a good answer. You've gone for the obvious points and included some development. Vocabulary is good and the essay is clear. There are quite a lot of grammatical errors, but you have used a good range of structures. All the...

Hello! Oh, what a great question! (With an obvious answer!) It is refuted? Who is teaching these phrases? From the introduction, it looks like you have found the obvious answer, though! First main paragraph - Yes, they can. You can easily see a person's emotions on Skype! Emoticons certainly help wi...

Hello! This is one of my favourite questions - mainly because candidates miss some good, simple points that can be made! Nice introduction! You seem to over-generalise in the first main paragraph. Violins are not exactly modern, but, sure, they are not traditional instruments in most of the world. V...

Hello!

1. conditionals - all types!
2. clauses - relative and not
3. participle clauses - Being ... / Built ...

All the best,
David

Hello! With this question, it really isn't that difficult to think of points. 1. Do children have too much free time? Look around you. Ask people about how much school work their kids have. 2. How should children spend their free time? Simply imagine you have kids and there's your answer! Stating th...

Hello! Answers in the listening test must follow exactly what the speakers say. If the speaker uses a plural, so must you. In addition to plurals, pay attention to verb forms (like, likes, liked) and capital letters. I teach my students to avoid the capital letter problem by WRITING LIKE THIS. All t...
