Hello! Overall, a good report. I like the use of predictive language (although 'stipulated' is wrong) and there are some good words used correctly (ranged, surpassing). There are plenty of grammatical errors, but meaning is generally clear and there is a good range of structures. It's a big chart in...

Hello! Overall, a good essay. The example of chef is not true in some countries, but is true in many. (In the UK, for instance, you need certain certificates to be a chef.) I would suggest some more detail. Why does a marketing manager need qualifications, for example? Vocabulary and grammar are goo...

Hello! Excellent question! I hope you've done some background research! Oh, believe me, you are NOT the first generation to play violent video games! :twisted: Uh? I didn't really understand the rest of the first main paragraph. I'm never convinced by these arguments that 'the poor people are the cr...

Hello! 'It is agreed' - who by? The points for the two main paragraphs are the same - changing genes to create a better plant. Regarding arguments, you have not looked at any other possibilities, so there is no real proof that GM is the best way forward. Vocabulary is good. Grammatical accuracy is q...

Hello! Overall, a good essay. Your points are clear, but some specific development would be helpful. Grammar and vocabulary are good, both in terms of range and accuracy. I think that range could be improved by adding more modals - you tend to present everything as absolutely clear for all children ...

Hello! The first main paragraph is good but underdeveloped. (Note that it is as long as the introduction.) I think that you should be looking at what happens in these training sessions. I don't see how the second idea relates to the question. Giving people jobs does not automatically mean they worrk...

Hello! This letter should not begin 'Dear Sir or Madam' - you should know who you were meeting! (Certainly for a job interview.) Grammar and vocabulary are good and you have covered all three points clearly with some development. A minor point is that you emphasise the severity of the accident, yet ...

Hello! There are a couple of key problems with this report. First, the overview, which I assume is the second paragraph, is not very clear. I think that you have spotted the key trend in the second diagram, but you haven't expressed yourself well. Isolated? The second problem is that you have used c...

Hello! Overall, this is a good essay. Introduction - There is still some doubt over whether global warming is happening. First main paragraph - These points could be a little more developed. Second main paragraph - Basically, yes, but the money saved on oil will surely be eaten up by green energy. A...

Hello! Great question!!! (This would never be in the real exam - but it should be!) Overall, a good response. Points are quite basic but there is some development. The range of grammar and vocabulary is a little limited, but accuracy is good and mistakes do not lead to misunderstandings. Good use of...

Hello! I don't think the people who believe people can be taught talent are a minority. Around the world, parents will pay a lot for their kids to be taught talent. Equalise the score? The examples that you give - Adele, Obama - how do you know whether they have these talents naturally or not? Actua...

Hello! Overall, not a bad essay, but the points are not developed - just stated as fact without reason. You cite one of my favourite reasons, that animals rely on humans to feed them. The regular incidents at zoos in China, where people climb into the tigers cages and are attacked, suggests otherwis...

Hello! Basically, not bad, but you haven't really developed the ideas well or clearly. In particular it's not clear how you come to the conclusion that the benefits outweigh the costs. Vocabulary and grammar are reasonably good, but you haven't used them to create a good argument. All the best, David

Hello!

Great question!

Most people? Really?

We need examples of the actresses. And the creams.

Overall, vocabulary and grammar are good, but the development of ideas is incomplete and it cannot be easily ascertained whether they are true or not.

All the best,
David

Hello!

Whoops! If what you wrote in the first main paragraph is true, then the conclusion must be false. If people cannot afford the technology ....

The range of grammar and vocabulary is good, but you have not created a good argument.

All the best,
David

Hello! This is a standard answer to this question. Like other candidates, you have failed to provide any examples to support your opinion, thus making your essay a list of assertions that may or may not be true. Which basic skills? Which feelings? What culture? What traditions? Vocabulary is good en...

Hello! Fluency - Not many pauses, good speed Coherence - Good range of connectives and sentence order Vocabulary - Sufficieent for the topics, but limited detail Grammar - Good basic grammar, but limited range of complex structures Pronunciation - Clear, some stress and intonation Overall, I would f...

Hello! All main points covered. Most of the report seems clear, though the second paragraph has severe grammatical issues. The vocabulary is often incorrect - owned, show, distribution, comment, supplement, appropriate, noticeable, highly required, admitted. So, overall, the main issues are with the...

Hello! You haven't really explained how your solutions will mean less work (or less demanding work) for students. Grammar is quite good - nice range and accuracy - but vocabulary isn't really used effectively to answer the question. In fact, it could be argued that all the extra project work and act...

Hello! First main paragraph, second sentence - CO2 IS a greenhouse gas, so saying CO2 leads to more greenhouse gases ... That example does not demonstrate a 'tremendous' threat. (At the very least, you have missed out some other steps.) Therefore the following sentence is not logically coherent. Abs...

Hello! Introduction - Is the subway 'agreed' as the most convenient form of transport? Why isn't is already more widely used? Why don't more people in cities with subways use them? The two main paragraphs basically raise the same point. I went to work using the subway in Beijing. I had to walk 30 mi...

Hello! There are a few obvious problems with the arguments presented in this essay. 1. Essentially, the two points are the same. 2. You say 'the effectiveness of that suggested approach can be seen' but then ... nothing! What effectiveness? Global warming has not been reversed, according to the clim...

Hello! Overall, not a bad essay, but I don't think that you have really distinguished learning from TV and learning from a teacher. Maybe you don't think there are really any differences. The only thing you've mentioned is that TV is more fun and interesting. But surely some teachers are very good a...

Hello! Basically, this is a good letter. You have covered all the points and any grammatical and vocabulary errors are minimal. However, I have to point out that your neighbours will simply say 'So don't use the washing machine!' They might even say 'Use ours!' Poor choice, but the English is good. ...

Hello! Great question! I actually just did this with a class at the weekend! Introduction - I'm not a fan of the use of 'reasonable conclusion' - is any candidate trying to find an UNreasonable conclusion? (Could be interesting, though!) Overall, this is a very good essay. Points are clear and there...
