  1. " I don't think that there is a straight way to be healthy." "Personally I believe that there are 3 golden rules to be healthy." : Do these two statements get along with each other? I think there is some ambiguity in your introduction. "According to" is repeated quite often. I propose to use alternative expressions like "as indicated by" , "as stated by" or "in keeping with"

  4. When writing, we should focus more on the accuracy. We can say " my close friend" in speaking in this case but saying "a close friend" seems more accurate because one normally has more than one close friend. Moreover, in this case, when "close friend" first appeared in the story, we should use "a". When we mention him again, we can use "my close friend" because now, this close friend is difinite.
  5. "but i don't think so." Avoid using "oral" language. "through telephones or email" -> through telephone or email "with my close friend" -> with a close friend "It was telephone that enabled me to express what i think more easily." -> The telephone really helped me express my thinking more easily. "contact with each other " -> contact each other or "keep in touch with each other" Very good essay Rated 5
  6. + Good introduction + Very good paragraph 1 + Paragraph 2 was very well written, however, the argument is not very good. "I am only with my friends in the parties" does not mean that you "have to" do that with friends. The argument is somehow acceptable. "I think several parties per months are property but too many are unnecessary." -> I think some parties per month are enjoyable but too many are unnecessary. "thought out day and night" -> throughout A very good essay, well done Rate 5-5.5
  7. In the introduction part, it's better to summarize the ideas we will develop later in just one sentence. Pay attention to the usage of {first, second, ..., finally} and {firstly, secondly, ..., lastly} "Now i'm just a little girl so it's very natural if i waste my money on unecessary things such as clothes, toys, etc. " -> Now i'm just a little girl, therefore I may easily waste my money on unecessary things such as clothes, toys, etc. (don't use "if" here) Be careful that I must be "Capital" ( not "i" but "I") "such as studying, getting married, or investment" -> ...or doing business (investment may be used for any kind of using money) Paragraph 1 is quite good. "the reason why i'd like to save my money for future is the uncertain risks in life." -> I prefer to save my money for the future is also because of the uncertain risks in life. premmium -> premium (not necessary to use) "Life requires us spend money for our needs." -> Life requires us to spend money for our needs. "consider it carefull " -> consider it carefully It's better to separate the paragraphs with one or two blank lines. The scorer would highly appreciate it. In overall, this is a very good easay with interesting ideas and various expressions. You would get a score of 5 if you get rid of some "stupid" errors. Good luck
  8. + To me I think, -> In my opinion,... + Secondly, -> Second, (better to pair with Fist of all) + going to a college or university give you -> going to a college or university gives you + something that is new but full of energy of life. -> something new but full of energy of life. + I have heard of some people go to college or university -> I have heard of some people going to college or university + You should pay more attention to punctuation.
  9. - Good introduction + Your new boss might not be kind to you as your previous boss. -> Your new boss might not be as kind to you as your previous one was. - A very good and carefully written essay, you would get 5.5 or even 6
  10. - Good introduction. + those of the previous or next. -> those of the previous or the next. + in totally different world then I live now -> in a world totally different from which I live now. + It was powerful country with strong rules and communistic ideals. -> It was a powerful country with strong rules and communist ideology. + it would be impossible to find any job for him. -> (???) do you mean: it was difficult for him to find a job ? + you have a systematical error of " then or than" + We live in information technologies century -> in a century of information technology + search job globally -> search for a job globally + in way that we are more independent -> in a more independent way + sixteen years old students -> sixteen-year-old students + They manage to adapt life -> to be adapted to a life which... Rate 4
  11. to purchase anything what I want -> to purchase anything I want
  12. Films can tell us a lot about the country where they were made. Each one is a story full of images and sounds about different aspects of the people's life, not only at present but also in the past. By their nature, movies can help a foreigner to understand a lot about history, geography as well as culture and habits of the country. In fact, I learnt a lot about American geography when watching "Gone with the wind". This country appeared to me with beautiful images of the countryside that I love very much. Throughout the film, I was feeling as if I were really living in that city of Atlanta, or on a farm called Tarah. I must say that I began to love that land from seeing this movie. The movies are usually adapted from historic stories, therefore, they also teach me about the history of a country in a very interesting way. I watched a lot of Chinese movies that's why I'm very good at Chinese history though I learnt just a bit about it at school. In "Gone with the wind", I really had a very good lesson about the American Civil War without reading any page about it. And last but not least, a very important thing is that I learn about English and American culture, habits, language through the movies. I've seen more American movies since I began to learn english and the more I learn English, the more I like American movies. To conclude, I want to say many thanks to the movie makers, to the actors and actress who really have been helping me and other youngsters like me to learn about this wonderful world in such a wonderful way.
  13. I think we should first agree or disgree with the statement. If we agree, there's nothing special to discuss; if we disagree, there are two cases: we agree with the constrast idea of the statement or we have our own idea, for example, a compromise of the two extreme opinions. The later approach is usually more difficult and more time-consuming, hence, if you are not very self-confident, it's better to choose one of the extreme opinions.
  14. - "being a member of a group matches to people "-> if you use "match" here, it should be in the form "match st" -> matches people ( not to people) - out-going -> outgoing -Team work -> teamwork -“oblidges” -> oblige with st/doing st -"The fight and the over-coming of the obstacles " -> fighting and overcoming the obstacles -"the target has finally come true" -> the target are finally reached.
  15. "in the field , they want to pursue a career in"-> is there a "," here? "they lose their interest in studies" -> is it better to use "in studying"? Statisians -> statistician? "Statisians have observed that " -> or "statistical data show that..." Well, a very good essay, if you can write a such within 30 min, a grade of 5 (or more) is at hand. I hope I can write as well as you.
