Topic:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Some people think that computers are more of a hindrance than a help in today's society. Others believe that they are such indispensable tools that they would not be able to live or work without them.<\/p>\n

Discuss both views and give your opinion.<\/p>\n

Part 1<\/span><\/h2>\n

Computers have been increasing remarkable in their popularity for over the last two decades. One school of thought is that computers consist of various perils, while some suggest that they possess enormous merits. Personally, I hold the perception that such a modern invention has far more significant benefits such as data-searching effectiveness and communicating efficiency.<\/p>\n

Personally, I hold the perception that such a modern invention has far more significant benefits such as data-searching effectiveness and communicating efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Comment:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nice, solid introduction. No grammar errors in the three sentences plus you use interesting less common vocabulary in a proper way such as \u201cdata-searching effectiveness and communicating efficiency.\u201d You also have a nice academic idiom \u201cone school of thought is\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I have no major criticism of this intro and would score it 8 in all four categories. The reason it does not get 9 is for very minor issues such as the way \u201cmerit\u201d is used. The way you use \u201cmerit\u201d is OK but a native speaker\/writer would not use that word to describe computers. Another thing you could have done to possibly get a 9 in TR or C&C is also mention specifically the negatives like you did the positives. But nevertheless, you still score 8 in all categories and it's still an excellent introduction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good and tight introduction. No grammatical errors, and precise use of interesting and uncommon vocabulary such as \u201cdata-searching effectiveness and communicating efficiency\u201d. You also used a good academic idiom \u201cone school of thought is\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I have no major criticisms for this introduction, and would give it an 8 in all four categories. The reason it doesn\u2019t get a 9 is because of some very minor errors, like your use of the word \u201cmerit\u201d. Your use is fine, but a native speaker wouldn\u2019t use that word to describe a computer. Another way you could get a 9 in TR (task response) or C&C (coherence and cohesion) is to be as specific about the cons as you are about the pros. Either way, you still get an 8 in all categories, and this is an excellent introduction.<\/em><\/p>\n

Part 2<\/span><\/h2>\n

Without question, computers do have certain negative impacts on users. Nowadays, many computer programs for the purpose of entertainments, commercially designed to make people addictive, are sometimes linked with either violent scenes or pornographic pictures. As soon as some users are \u201ctrapped\u201d, they may spend hours in front of the screen. Consequently, their productivities and job proficiencies may be seriously affected. Furthermore, it may increase the likelihood of exposing and intruding people's privacy due to the fact that users are so vulnerable that their personal details are sometimes saved in a main public server.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, many computer programs for the purpose of entertainment, commercially designed to make people addictive, are sometimes linkeded<\/span>\u00a0with either violent scenes or pornographic pictures. As soon as some users are \u201ctrapped,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0they may spend hours in front of the screen. Consequently, their productivities and job proficiencies may be seriously affected. Moreover,\u00a0computer use<\/span>\u00a0may increase the likelihood of exposing and intruding\u00a0on<\/span>\u00a0people's privacy due to the fact that users are so vulnerable that their personal details are sometimes saved in a main public server.<\/p>\n

Comment:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nice (clear and to the point) topic sentence: \u201cWithout question, computers do have certain negative impacts on users.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Good, you are following the logical order as in the question and your intro \u2013 negative then positive. In other words, this paragraph is about the negatives which is what you first mentioned in your introduction.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few grammar errors: remember that 'entertainment' is a non-count noun \u2013 don't put an 's.' Use \u201clinked\u201d not \u201clink.\u201d Notice also the proper punctuation with the comma and quotes on \u201ctrapped.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Use \u201cthey\u201d not \u201cit\u201d when referring to computers but 'computer use' is better. Three of the sentences are error-free so you still make a 7 for grammar in this paragraph.<\/span><\/p>\n

The collocation is \u201cintruding on.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Excellent use of \u201ctrapped\u201d and other vocabulary. Several complex sentences. Overall, this paragraph is entirely coherent and will score high. Your score is easily 8 8 8 and 7 in grammar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good topic sentence (clear and to the point).<\/em><\/p>\n

Great, you\u2019re following the logical sequence as in the question and in your introduction \u2013 the cons first, then the pros. In other words, this paragraph is about the cons you mentioned first in your introduction.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some grammar mistakes: Remember that \u201centertainment\u201d is an uncountable noun \u2013 don\u2019t add the \u201cs\u201d. Use \u201clinked\u201d, not \u201clink\u201d. Notice the comma and quotation marks around \u201ctrapped,\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Use \u201cthey\u201d instead of \u201cit\u201d when referring to computers, but \u201ccomputer use\u201d is better. There are 3 error-free sentences, so you still get 7 points for grammar in this passage.<\/em><\/p>\n

Collocation is \u201cintruding on\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Very good use of \u201ctrapped\u201d and other vocabulary. Many complex sentences. Overall, this passage is very coherent and would have been highly marked. Your score could have been 8 8 8 and 7 for grammar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Part 3<\/span><\/h2>\n

However, computers have a number of advantages. Thanks to such a means, people are able to access vast resources including a wide range of areas such as science, medicine, environment, etc. It is so effective and convenient that only a single click can show us an appropriate result. In addition, computers help people communicate effectively. For example, an email can be sent and received in a couple of seconds compared to a traditional letter which may take days. Moreover, due to the mass-production, computers have become more affordable than ever before.<\/p>\n

However, computers have a number of advantages. Thanks to such a means, people are able to access vast resources including a wide range of areas such as science, medicine,\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0environment, and\u00a0countless other needed fields<\/span>. It is so effective and convenient that only a single click can show us a\u00a0desired<\/span>\u00a0result. result. In addition, computers help people communicate effectively. For example, an email can be sent and received in a couple of seconds compared to a traditional letter which may take days. Moreover, due to\u00a0their mass production<\/span>, computers have become\u00a0more<\/span>\u00a0more affordable than ever before.<\/p>\n

Comment:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Nice collocations \u201csuch a means,\u201d \u201cvast resources,\u201d \u201cwide range\u201d and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to say \u201cthe environment\u201d and \u201cto their mass-production.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid the use of \u201cetc.\u201d or \u201cand so on\u201d in IELTS. You need to complete the thought as I did with \u201c\u2026and countless other needed fields.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You need the word \u201cmore\u201d in the sentence \u201c\u2026computers have become more affordable than ever before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This sentence sounds a bit awkward \u201cIt is so effective and convenient that only a single click can show us an appropriate result\u201d because \u201cappropriate result\u201d is vague and subjective. Just say \u201ca desired result\u201d and the sentence is much better.<\/span><\/p>\n

This paragraph scores TR 8, Vocab 8, and then 7 and 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use good collocations, such as: such a means,\u201d \u201cvast resources,\u201d \u201cwide range,\u201d etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

It should be written as \u201cthe environment\u201d and \u201cto their mass-production\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

Avoid using \u201cect.\u201d or \u201cso on\u201d in the IELTS test. You need to complete the whole sentence like I used \u201c\u2026 and countless other needed fields.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

You need to use the word \u201cmore\u201d in the sentence \u201c\u2026 computers have become more affordable than ever before.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

This sentence sounds a bit odd \u201cIt is so effective and convenient that only a single click can show us an appropriate result\u201d because \u201cappropriate result\u201d is very vague and subjective. Just write \u201ca desired result\u201d and the sentence will be much better.<\/em><\/p>\n

This passage will score TR 8, Vocab 8, and 7 7.<\/em><\/p>\n

Part 4<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a word, undoubtedly computers do have some negative impacts, whereas their advantages are far more significant. For the betterment of our lives, I would argue that such an advanced device should be encouraged and popularized owing to the outstanding benefits such as the effectiveness of searching data, the efficiency of communicating and the affordability.<\/p>\n

Print\u00a0conclusion<\/span>, undoubtedly computers do have some negative impacts, whereas their advantages are far more significant. For the betterment of our lives, I would argue that such an advanced device should be encouraged and popularized owing to the outstanding benefits such as the effectiveness of searching data, the efficiency of communicating and the affordability.<\/p>\n

Comment:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do not use informal discourse markers such as \u201cIn a word\u2026\u201d for introducing a conclusion. Just use standard academic phrases such as \u201cIn conclusion\u2026\u201d This is a not an area an examiner looks for synonyms \u2013 they look for accepted academic diction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, a solid, tight conclusion that appropriately summarizes your three positive points and would score 8 8 8 and 7 in C&C (due to informal discourse marker). For a higher score you will need to also mention the negatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t use informal discourse markers like \u201cIn a word\u2026\u201d to start a conclusion. Use standard academic phrases like \u201cIn conclusion\u2026\u201d The examiners aren\u2019t looking for synonyms here \u2013 they\u2019re looking for acceptable academic language.<\/em><\/p>\n

Overall, this is a strong conclusion, summarizing your three strengths well and could score you an 8 8 8 and a 7 in C&C (because of the informal discourse markers). To get a higher score, you would need to mention your weaknesses as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

(295 words)<\/p>\n

Overall, this is a very strong paper and would score 8 8 and 7 in C&C and 7 in grammar for an overall score of 7.5. With my corrections, the paper would score overall 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, this is a very good and well-written essay, and would achieve an 8 in &7C and a 7 in grammar, for an overall score of 7.5. With my revisions, the essay could achieve an overall score of 9.<\/em><\/p>\n
