Re: Tasks 1 and 2 Academic - Could you please give comments?

If you are looking to get band 8, this is probably not the place to assess your writing score. You need professional assessors to view your work. Here in the forum, we can only give you advice, grammar mistake it's not wise to guess on scores. Both tasks look fine, but remember to keep things simple !

Re: Writing task 2. Your comments please.

There appears to be too many grammar, sentence, spelling mistakes. Your ideas are not in order, word choice needs to be a lot better, presentation is not to the standard. Conclusion should be one paragraph, you should look at sample essays, and fix the fundamentals before attempting to write a whole...

Really excellent essay, very few mistakes; you could have provided more examples in your second para, but looks like you will get a good score anyway.

Well written, your problem does not seem to be on task achievement because you have put good examples and discussed the topic well. Grammar, sentence structure is again the issue, although not a lot. I suggest you try to write slowly as I make mistakes when I write fast, put different synonyms in th...

Re: task 1 letter < apply job>

You could have structured it better, don't start a paragraph with the word 'Basically', you could put the first statement and second paragraph into one.

You are also assuming about the work, don't assume it until it is clearly stated.

Re: GT Writing Task 2

Overall it's a good essay, your ideas and presentations are in order. However the grammar needs to improve. Sentence structure is not in order and you will loose marks for this.

Re: General Writing Task 2 - Please comment and rate

Your examples are ok, but it's not convincing, you need to convince the reader with more bolder and stronger arguments. Grammatical mistakes are there, what you need to do now is first correct the grammatical mistakes, then make better and stronger arguments and rewrite the essay.

The article lacks proper grammar, sentence structure and spelling mistake. It is described well, but you need to write proper way.
