of the local society. Moreover, people worldwide can get to know each
other better through globalization. It is easy to see that more and more
Hollywood blockbusters show cultures different from American, some
recent examples are Kungfu Panda and The Mummy.
Admittedly, the profit driven side of globalization has severely affected
young people. Today, in the metropolises in different countries, it is very
common to see teenagers wearing NIKE T-shirts and Adidas footwear,
playing Hip-Hop music on Apple iPods and eating at KFC. The culture that
took a thousand years to form just seems similar in these cities; it seems
as though you can only distinguish them by their language. Meanwhile, in
some developing countries, sweat workshops are always a concerning
issue. For instance, reports show that some teenagers employed by NIKEs
contractors work in smelly factories over 14 hours a day, but are only paid
fifty cents per hour.
To sum up, I would concede that globalization does come with some
adverse effects. Despite that fact, benefits created by it far outweigh the
disadvantages. Overall, I am convinced that we should further promote
globalization and meanwhile the local government should take measures
to combat culture assimilation and sweat workshops.
This essay is extremely long (338 words instead of the advised
250-265). It has a sound structure, your position is clearly
expressed, the information is well-organized, and structure-wise
the sentences are fine. The vocabulary is impressive and there
were only a few grammatical errors (see comments underlined in
blue). Overall, this seems to be a band 7.5 + essay.
Throwing parties can be expensive. While some people do not find these
fancy parties worth what they cost, others believe parties are important to
both individuals and the society.
People choose to throw parties for a number of reasons. For starters,
parties can make better teams. Project kick-off parties are good
opportunities to break the ice and help team members to know each other
better. Victory parties create a sense of success and belonging.
Companies do not see parties as wastes of money and allocate budget to
support such events. Moreover, parties often leave good memories. From
our own experiences, we all have happy memories of our birthday parties
when we were little. Every family has great photostook on family parties in
their album. In addition, contrary to what some people believe that
spending on parties is a waste of social resources, parties actually create
value, either by employing people in the party planning business or by
offering people better party experiences.
The popularity of parties, however, causes some tension in the society.
Parties are hard on introverted people who find themselves uncomfortable
in parties. This is a clinic symptom which psychologists call it social
anxiety disorder. There are other ways to celebrate important events
that may have greater value for their cost. For instance, companies could
send out gifts after successful projects and parents could take their
children on family trips to celebrate birthdays.
In my opinion, while a party is a form of social event that brings many
benefits to individuals and the society, other choices should also be
considered, either to cut spending or to relieve the stress of those who are
not fond of parties.
This is a very good essay. Other than minor inaccuracies there are
no problems (mouse over the words underlined in blue shows
corrections). Seems to be worth IELTS Band 8.
Public libraries should only provide books and should not waste
their limited resources on expensive high-tech media such as
software, videos or DVDs. Do you agree or disagree?
With the proliferation of high-tech media, some people hold that the public
libraries would be rendered obsolete if they do not offer software, videos
or DVDs to their users while other assert its only a waste of limited
resources and the libraries should offer books only.
High-tech media is, in many ways, indeed superior to the books in terms
of entertainment, attraction, and functionality. For instance, videos and
DVDs function as a visual means to assist people to have a first-hand
experience even though those people have not physically visited or seen
the objects which are introduced in the books. Also, despite the audiovisual equipment would be prohibitive to install, the capital cost would be
lowered by appealing to a sizable number of users.
More importantly, software could assist the library goers to access the
Internet to update their knowledge on a daily basis; in contrast, books
typically take multiple months to be published, which in turn rendertheir
contents outdated to some extent. In addition, upon learning that the
computer literacy has become an essential skill recently, public libraries
should take on the responsibility to educate its users how to operate a
computer.
Modern children are suffering from the diseases that were once
considered to be meant for adults only. Obesity is a major disease
prevalent among children. What are its causes and what solutions
can be offered?
Nowadays, the increasing rate of overweight children and adults is a
worldwide health issue. Obesity is a major problem which is increasing day
by day in school going children. There are various reasons behind it. This
essay will discuss the causes of obesity and offer some solutions.
The first cause of obesity is junk food. It is often seen that mostly children
are fond of burgers, pizzas, noodles and coke. These types of foods are
easily available to them in school canteens. Children love to purchase
chips, chocholates, - ice-cream for lunch. Moreover, in this modern era,
parents are working and they do not have time to cook at home. Parents
often buy dinner for their children instead of preparing food at home. This
calorie-rich diet is making children obese. This problem can be solved by
teaching children to cook healthy foods for themselves and banning junk
foods and fizzy drinks in schools. This diet can be replaced by milk, juice
and fruits for lunch.
The second cause of obesity is sedentry life style. It is true that the use of
computers and television is increasing in children. They spend most of
their time watching television or playing video games on a computer. This
technological advancement has reduced the level of physical activity in
this specific age group. This issue can be resolved by encouraging children
to do physical exercises. Parents can take their children to park to
encourage playing with friends. Furthermore, schools can add sports in
their curriculum to maintain physical fitness in their students.
To sum up, it is clear that main causes of obesity are unhealthy eating and
not enough physical activities. This ailment can be prevented and treated
by healthy eating habbits and physical exercises.
This is a good essay. There are only a few minor errors that could
have been easily prevented by proofreading this essay one last
time before submission (mouse over the words underlined in blue
shows corrections). Overall, this work seems worthy of IELTS
Band 8. Keep up the good work!

crimes with other inmates. Secondly, offenders often do not have any
other means of earning money. They are poor, uneducated and lacking
skills needed to maintain a job. Also, a criminal record makes finding a job
difficult as people usually avoid hiring ex-convict.
To solve this problem, governments should focus on rehabilitation of
criminals rather than punishment. Above all, prisons need vocational
training which makes inmates to prepare for life outside the prison. They
can learn practical skills such as computer programming, car maintenance
and graphic design. In this way, they can be hired for a position that
requires this certain knowledge and skills. Community service is another
way to reform offenders. Rather than being locked up in prison with other
inmates, offenders can help society and become useful to their local
community, and these activities would eliminate the negative influence
that prisons can have.
In conclusion, it is true the re-offenders are one of the problems in our
community; it can be solved by focusing rehabilitation rather than
punishment itself.

Popular events like the football world cup and other international
sporting occasions are essential in easing international tensions
and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way. To what extent do
you agree or disagree with this opinion?
The World Cup football match and the Olympics are held worldwide with
great national support and expectations. As a fan of those competitions, I
agree with the idea that sporting events can be necessary for
international relations and national unity. In this essay, I will think about
the effects of these popular sporting events.
First of all, the World Cup, Olympics and other international games work
for easing tensions among different nations. For example, South and North
Korea have football games regularly which give two nations a chance to
understand each other deeply. In the mid 1990s, a hundreds of North
Korean supporters came to South Korea with the footballers and they were
very excited during the sporting events. Even if it sounds ridiculous, many
South Koreans were quite surprised at that moment when North Koreans
shouted and cried during the match. We all realized that they were very
normal sports fans even though they were occasionally very secretive.
Through the sports, two divided nations could reduce their political and
ideological tensions and could feel the patriotic unity.
On the other hand, some sports matches can make international relations
worse. For instance, football or baseball games between Korea and Japan
are always big matches in two countries where full of tensions overflow.
Sometimes, after the matches, the two rivals blame each other and their
patriotic emotions explode in an aggressive way.Even much
worse scenario is that the troubles caused by losing games affect the
players directly. As far as I know, a couple of Korean players in
Japan are suffered from invisible discrimination after the match between
two countries.
In conclusion, I think that international sporting occasions can be one of
the good ways to ease tensions or to release patriotism safely. However, I
believe that games can not be the fundamental ways for the sound
patriotism or peaceful international relations.
Some people say that the Internet is making the world smaller by
bringing people together. To what extent do you agree that the
internet is making it easier for people to communicate with one
another?
In today?s world _ due to the advancement of technology new inventions
are coming into existence. It is true that Necessity is a mother of
invention. _ Internet is just like a wonder box, which contains every type
of information. Besides it has also proved as a very important tool to
connect people with one another.
In todays modernized era nobody has sufficient time to write letters to
their loved ones. Moreover it also takes longer to send or receive any
information. But the Internet is the easiest way to send messages to our
loved ones. Communication can be either in the form of e-mail or through
text messages sent via internet to mobile phones. We can send and
receive messages straight way.
In other hand todays young generation mostly prefers to do chatting
through the Internet. During such chatting we can write messages and get
replies straight away. Moreover voice chatting is going to be very popular
day-by-day.
As it is a reality the advantages and disadvantages resemble two sides of
one coin, which usually runs parallel. So like other things
internetalso have some downsides, like causing people health
problems for example, poor eye-sight, back ache or migraines. Todays
teenagers usually prefer to spend their time on the internet rather than to
participating in other physical activities, which causing them to have a
weaker physical health.
To conclude, I would like to say that the Internet is one of the most
modernized and most successful tools, not only for communication, even
to get most relevant information regarding every field in a very short
period of time.
This is a great essay, well done! Remember, the Internet is a
proper noun, currently, there is only one. Pay attention to your
punctuation many commas are missing after linking words.
Otherwise, the essay is well argued and set out.

discovery programs are a waste of resources.
In a nutshell, people should only invest in space exploration provided that
urgent and important matters mentioned earlier in this essay have been
solved. Also, purposes of space exploration campaigns should be studied
carefully and other alternatives should be considered before the money is
wasted.
Should the same laws which prohibit the sale and consumption of
heroin be applied to tobacco? Discuss.
Recently, a heated debate arouse when a few reputable health
organizations suggested the application of a similar act of heroin selling
and usage prohibition _. In this assay, I will analyze why the adoption of
such a law could be a breakthrough in our youngsters safety, according to
my vision.
Firstly, tobacco does not differ much from heroin when it comes to the
addictive effect. Nicotin , the active ingredient in tobacco, exerts its effect
by acting directly on smokers brain cells. Numerous experiments carried
out by scientist on animals, specailly rats, proved that this toxic chemical
does lead by time to dependency, just similarly to the effect experienced
with herion.
Secondly, the restriction on cigerattes selling would surely show an instant
decline in tobacco smoking. Having easy access to cigarettes puts a
tremendous pressure, especially on teenagers,to resist such a temptation
Dr.Hisham , head of Pschycology department at Alexandria Medical
college , states firmly. Giving the new generation the sense that the
Without capital punishment (the death penalty) our lives are less
secure and crimes of violence increase. Capital punishment is
essential to control violence in society. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?
Capital punishment is always associated with ignorance and intolerance.
In fact, we must acknowledge that some people disagree with this kind of
penalty, but others vote in its favor. Portugal was the first European
country to end this kind of penalty. Since the 19th century, tolerance and
respect for life are important values. Moreover, we can affirm that all the
Europe remains under the same codes. Maybe because of a religious view
point, the respect for life is a typical value in the Old Catholic world.
Those who are in favor of capital punishment mostly live in developing
countries. However, this is not just an image of the Third World countries.
Actually, the USA is one country where this kind of punishment has
its higher rates of application. The state of Texas, in particular, is at the
top, supporting this measure against crime, especially those involving
serial killers and crimes against children. In a society dominated by fear
and government control, it is foreseen that this penalty will continue into a
future next.
Maybe this is not a simple question. As we can see there are several
values here and of course cultural behavior. The roots of the question are
religious, cultural, ethical and even geographical. The world is divided and
the law systems show this division. The solutions, however can lead us to
other questions concerning revenge and justice. It will be better to kill a
person because of his crimes? Can we admit that a life sentence could be
a much better sentence? In fact, rehabilitation is the right way especially
with an accurate psychological evaluation first. Some people are lost
forever, and in my opinion some murderers and other criminals will suffer
more in jail. In this sense, capital punishment is an easy way out.

human has in this world in future?
Besides, computers make our life easier, we can easily get information
about any product we plan to buy or place we plan to visit in a second
using a personal computer and Internet. Scientists predict that in the
nearest future it will be possible to smell a new perfume using the Internet
and watch 3D scenes at home like we do in the movie theater. According
to forecasts of HR agencies machines will replace jobs of cashiers, and
civil and military pilots. Some corporations in Japan are already selling
housewife-robots, which help old people to keep their homes clean.
Despite the fact that computers help us, they make us dependent.
Apparently, people spend more time behind monitors than ever before.
And some of them feel a need for more time to be spent with people in
live contact. In addition, a breakdown of one of the important modules of
a specific computer can entail serious consequences. Suffice to mention
the computer problem that occurred in the end of 1990s, a problem
related to the coming year 2000 (Y2K) and catastrophes that were
predicted. Fortunately imminent disasters did not happen. However, it is
difficult to imagine what could be if all the predictions came true.
We live in a technological era, computers penetrated everywhere with all
benefits they provide and all dangers they hide. However we are satisfied
with them and sometimes we even thank them because they help us in
communicating, studying, doing business, entertaining and saving lives in
critical situations.
Great essay, all the task points are covered, good language and
structure. It would probably receive a Band 7.

Well done! This is a good essay, however, you should take care of
your spelling.

to gain more and more customer, which means more and more money,
using bad news as a magnet. Because bad news makes us curious. We
want to know why it is bad, what it is about, whether it influences us or
not. As a result, we will buy newspapers or watch television to find out.
And the happiest people are, of course, news editors.
I think it would be better if more good news were reported. Bad news
makes us worry and sad. Whereas good news makes us happy. There
should an equal amount of good and bad news. In that way we can give
something bad a lot of thought while still being happy about the good
news. Any inequalities between good news and bad news should be
avoided. That is the best solution.
Now, we cant live without news. Thereby, the role of news editors is very
important. We should support them. And what they have to do is try their
best to provide us with useful news, both good and bad.
Some of your sentences are too short they would look better if
joined together. Overall, this is a good essay, which seems to be
worthy of Band 7.
A global village, that is certainly what the world feels like nowadays. With
the help of the world wide web, you can reach out and get to know people
you might never have met in person. Articles can be co-authored,
business deals can be finalized, degrees can be earned and at times even
medical advice can be given- and all of this is just a click away.
Electronic mail, instant messages, web cameras and microphones; all
these gadgets and programs make the presence of the other person more
real. Who knows; with the help of visual reality you might even get a 3-D
image of the speaker! I believe that the Internet is one the best inventions
of the last century, you can hardly get to miss anyone and nobody is really
out of reach. You can keep in touch with your friends, and be able to do
your work from your bedroom in your pajamas!
However, the internet can also be a major source of harassment.
Spammers and hackers can invade your privacy and get
personal/confidential information, which otherwise they will never get
access to. You are never out of anybodys reach, unless you make a
conscious decision of not checking your email, there can be always more
work waiting for you in your inbox and you might never have a moment to
yourself. Worse yet, if you were a workaholic, you might never experience
that stress-free vacation ever again in your life simply, because you
have your mobile workplace with you at all times.
As a romantic, I will always look forward to getting an occasional letter in
the snail mail. A personal letter, where I can sense the mood of the writer
by the slants in his/her handwriting and get to know him/her better. But as
a type A personality person, the internet gives me all what I dream of in
terms of communication the speed, reliability, and convenience of time
and place. I can certainly tolerate its shortcomings any day, as long as it
keeps me close to my loved ones.
This is a great essay, which seems worthy of Band 7 or perhaps
even 8. It is longer than required (340 words instead of 250)
which means that it took you more time to write and less time to
check your work.

a brilliant future.
This essay is too long (350 words instead of 250). To fight this
problem, try to write in a more general form and provide fewer

essay structure. Seems worthy of Band 7.
learning style. Finally, home schooling protects children from bullies and
others who might be a bad influence.
On the other hand, the school environment also offers advantages for
children. Schools encourage children to socialise with their peers and
learn how to cope with gossip, bullying and peer pressure. In addition,
children will receive better tuition across a range of disciplines, as schools
have teachers who are trained in special subjects. What is more, schools
provide better access to physical resources such as sports equipment,
musical instruments and library books.
I believe that children are better off in a school environment. Although
family time and individual learning are important, the range of expertise
and resources that schools offer cannot be matched in the home. School
environments may present difficult social situations, but so too does the
real world and children must learn to navigate these on their own.
