Re: pleaae Task 2 Some people think that animals should have rights while others don't think

Hello! Oh, I don't like that introduction. I think you got the first sentence wrong. The first part of the second sentence too. Creators or creations? Advancement? Ducks and rabbits clean up after disasters??? The fail of the Chinese? Overall, the range and accuracy of grammar and vocabulary is very...

Hello! This essay is a bit of a mess. There are a LOT of unsubstantiated assertions. You need to provide support and evidence, not simply state your opinion as unsupported fact. 1. Introduction - Throughout history, women have worked. The idea that women working is something new is compete rubbish. ...

Re: Please, evaluate my T2. Thanks!

Hello! Not a bad essay, but you need to provide support for your main ideas. It seems to me that you are merely making assumptions - older and younger people work differently and managers are primarily for making changes. I would challenge both of these assumptions. Regardless, of our different opin...

Re: Please assess my writing task 2 and give some feedback. I will be profoundly grateful for you support.

Hello! Nice question! I think that you have made a big error in the first main paragraph. Natural disasters do not discriminate. Your home is not damaged less because you are richer. The second main paragraph includes the classic arguments. It would have been nice to include some reasons why some pe...

Hello! Overall, a good essay. Your points are clear with some development. However, I think that you could have reduced the number of points and developed the remaining ones more. For example, do you need an hour to travel because Zagreb is so big or because there are too many cars? If having a car ...

Hello! Basically, this is a good essay. I think that your points are good, but could be better developed with some specific examples or with suggestions on integrating technology into the learning. Vocabulary is good, despite some mistakes, e.g. updated. The range of grammatical structures is a litt...

Re: Please assess my writing task 2 and give some feedback. I will be profoundly grateful for you support.

Hello!

Basically, this is a good essay. Points are reasonable and developed to some extent. I think that you could improve the development by looking at areas where gender balance might be improved.

Grammar and vocabulary are good enough, but there are a lot of errors.

All the best,

Hello! I think that you have mixed up tourism and immigration. The environmental aspect may be true, but you haven't really separated it from general economic development and you haven't related it to international understanding. Vocabulary and grammar are not used to provide a good answer to the qu...

Re: Kindly review my essay:)thank you in advance

Hello! Great question! I'm afraid your arguments are very weak. In the first paragraph, your statistics are confusing. 10% women and 85% men = 95%. Where's the other 5%? Or do you mean that 85% of all men achieve high positions, which is demonstrably untrue? In the second main paragraph, you say tha...

Hello!

I cannot see the chart, so I'll just assume the figures are correct.

This looks to me like a very good report with a clear summary and good grammar and vocabulary, despite some minor errors that do not affect meaning.
