  • These days many international organizations participate in different conferences on ecological problems and try to find the solution how of managing this situation. Some believe that environmental situation should be controlled by local resident or easily locals, however, others think that it is an international matter / business/ concern, but definitely not deal (deal is "an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, especially in a business or political context" - Oxford Dictionary) . To my concern - не встречала такого ранее, исправлять не буду, возможно кто-то из более опытных уточнит, можно ли такое употреблять , all countries should take part Тут не совсем понятно в чем принимать участие (теряется нить), но это мое ИМХО to obtain good results.

    First reason for doing that is - influence of ecological situation of one country on its neighborhood and sometimes on the whole region in general. One of such problems is contamination of soil causing pollution of rivers and lakes. Moreover in most times plants - have no idea what it is , which have been growing (IMHO) on this soil, are full of harmful elements. As the result, it makes people suffering from serious diseases and makes livestock not appropriate for eating. Another example is air pollution. Thus different wastes from factories and cars make people breathe polluted air. Even more, some wastes fall down as a rain and contaminate surrounding territories. That is why only together - sorry, it sounds russian people can control the situation in the region.

    At last, there are some problems which cannot be resolved by local people because of lack of money. A vivid example is Chernobyl disaster. Nowadays the old sarcophagus should be changed because the old one does not protect from the radiation any more. - Ukraine cannot do it itself because of cost of such kind of building. Another example is international disasters like forest fire in Greece and Russia. Recent events have shown that fires could not be overcomed independently. Thus, it is necessary to receive some help - I suppose it has to be either get some help or receive some assistance from other countries in order to regulate - current situation.

    To sum up, environmental problems influence - ecological situation not only on local area, they cause much damage on neighbouring countries. I agree that situation should be handled by international authorities. In addition every person should take care of - situation in his or her surroundings.

    Теперь подытожу:
    1. Есть руссизмы (дословно переводите фразы). Это минус.
    2. Хорошая лексика. Это плюс.
    3. При наличие хорошей лексики не всегда умеете "соединять" слова по-английски. Это минус.
    4. Используете мало линков (слова but, and, also, or необходимо забыть). Это минус.
    5. Структура хорошая, единственная неувязка: во втором абзаце пишете что первая причина...., а в следующем сразу же начинаете фразой "наконец". Но, в целом, структура правильная. Это плюс.

    Совет:
    1. Учите линки.
    2. Читайте книги (там есть хорошие связки), в частности, разбирайте тексты с Ридинга.
    3. Продолжайте трудиться

    Думаю, что сочинение спокойно может заслужить балл 6.0-6.5.

    П.С. Это все ИМХО, мой балл невысок, помогаю тем, чем могу и что считаю
    ПП.С. Прошу простить если что-нибудь непонятно или неправильно исправила...

        Necessity is the mother of invention
        What does this saying mean? When human being faces a problem he tries to solve it. And success depends not only on ability to invent new technologies or methods which help to resolve the issue, it depends on cause. The more valuable the reason is the more effective the result will be.
        First of all let remember Europe before 19 century. It was the time when plague and diseases killed thousands of people in many cities every year. A simple wound can be lethal because mankind had no drug and knowledge how to cure it. For example the Black Death terminated the whole towns and villages. Only the craving to live and fear before death contributed to the invention of the penicillin. Also it was the moment when medicine made the first step to be the science as we know it now. Till now days medicine has been working on major problems of humanity. They are aids, cancer, and drug addiction.
        Another point to be made is war. When we stay before the face of the enemies and our future is under the danger we need to develop new types of weapons if we want to survive. Only the modern types of airplanes, tanks, and rifles can give us advantages on the battle field and as result we can win this company. For example Russia created tank T34, airplane IL2 which appeared to be the best weapons of the Second World War. And another example is the thermonuclear bomb which was developed by Russia during the Cold War. But unfortunately these achievements are often used by terrorists. So we need to control these technologies.
        In summary I want to say that it doesn’t matter what sort of causes forces people to think about new technologies or abilities. Let it be wishes to win the war, to stay alive, to become wealthy, and to get cured. Only one thing is important – the significance of the issue and a final result.

          • Родил essay - кошмар! После получасового переписывания первого абзаца я забил, приступил по-новому через пару часов. Писал почти 2 часа. Ужос! Ужос!!! К тому-же нехватает слов. 

            IELTS Exam Preparation - IELTS Writing Sample #143

            Write about the following topic:

            In a recent survey conducted in this country, it was found that up to 20% of twelve year-olds in some schools were showing early signs of nicotine addiction. In the eighteen to twenty year age bracket the percentage was as high as 70%. A large contributing factor to this high level of addiction is attributed to the uncensored TV advertising of cigarettes.
            For this reason all cigarette advertising should be banned.

            Discuss.



            =================================================
            A recent survey conducted in some schools showed a worrying tendency in nicotine addiction among teenagers. Early signs of the addiction have been found in almost every fifth twelve year-old while in eighteen to twelve year age bracket signs have been found in a more than two third of orphans. It is not surprising that in our age of information technologies this situation is largely due to often uncontrolled advertisement of tobacco products.

            One of the proposed measures aiming reduction of smocking popularity among teenagers is a complete ban of cigarette advertising. While, in principle, this could indeed contribute to the situation improvement, in a real life there is always a reason for a situation to exist, which makes it harder to eliminate by trivial prohibition. The root of the problem will still be there, undoubtedly finding just another way to appeal to the teenagers’ hearts. Actually, we all have already had a good lesson about total alcohol prohibition in the USA in the early 30ties of the last century.

            However, any kind of prohibition does not usually eliminate the root of a problem, often being a cosmetic measure. Moreover, a cosmetic threatment might even be dangerous in that it is hiding from our eyes relevant to the problem processes in the society. Instead of creating of such possible complications by a ban, a gradually decreasing in cigarette advertising together with avoiding teenagers targeting by it in TV may act better.

            To summarize, a balanced approach to this phenomenon should be worked out in our society. The problem results from a certain set of social processes, which suggests a necessity of rather a complex treatment that just one-cut solution in the form of a ban of advertisement. The most efficient strategy to fight the problem would be a proper combination of both application more strict regulations to advertisement of tobacco products and creating an alternative to smocking for our children.

              У Вас очень хороший английский, по крайней мере, если судить по этому эссе Красиво и 'легко' составленные предложения, т.е. легко читаемые, несмотря на достаточно сложное построение, хороший разброс разных структур и т.д. В общем, очень положительное впечатление.

              Об оценке пока говорить не буду, с учетом Вашего 'вступления' (сколько сил и времени заняло это эссе), но хорошая оценка прослеживается очень легко.

              Из замечаний - некоторые проблемы с артиклями (а у кого их нет? )
              Не всегда удачно подобраны слова (см orphan), что может затруднить понимание текста, особенно на таком уровне. И иногда слишком 'накручено'. В качестве примера последнего - предложение выделенное italics

              Теперь другие 'заметки'. Темы берите не из интернета, а из книг по подготовке к IELTS, особенно серии Cambridge for IELTS, 1-7. Tа тема, на кот. вы писали в принципе невозможна на экзамене, так как экзамен международный, а тема явна 'под Индию'.

              Я обычно не разбираю текст подробно (т.е. на все ошибки), но если хотите, то один раз могу. Правда, лучше все же чуть попозже, когда Вы набьете руку и будете писать на время.

                Спасибо - прям обнадёжили!
                Думаю, этот текст репрезантативный - кроме тормозов с концепцией писал в боевых условиях, правил во время написания.

                Об оценке пока говорить не надо вообще, да - лучше разбор полётов.

                >И иногда слишком 'накручено'. В качестве примера последнего - предложение выделенное italics

                Эээ-весь текст выделен italic. Не понять что за предложение Вы имели в виду.
                Что "накручиваю" - это правда, проф. болезнь. Трудно себя отучить, из-за этого и переписывал первый абзац пол-часа - страх как завернуть хотелось!

                Да-подробно разобрать лучше попозже, когда руку набью чутка.

                Спасибо!

                • some corrections

                  Yulia, надеюсь, мои поправки Вам помогут. Хочу сказать, главная идея эссе хорошая. Есть некоторые грамматические и лексические ошибки. На них, к сожалению, тоже надо обращать внимание, чтобы не потерять драгоценные балы за работу.



                  Movies are popular all over the world. Explain why movies are so popular.

                  People all over the world find films very interesting. Movie industry has been grown and developed from ground due to (переводится как "из-за, по причине") very short time(лучше так in a very short period of time). Movie makers, actors, producers and many others earn a lot of money from selling DVDs or from showing films in cinemas. There are some points of view why movies are so popular.

                  First of all, films are the simplest way to show advantages and disadvantages of our life. Moreover, movies can be an example of the behavior in common("ordinary" is better) situation. Such movies as “Friends”, ”House”, ”Gray’s Anatomy” can teach us how to love each other, to trust each other, to be a reliable friend. Therefore, people watch this kind of serials when they return home.

                  The other point is that films are the way of relaxing and having a good time. For example, my husband and I usually watch one or two of them during a week when we get back home and want to do nothing. Over and above, my mood improves after seeing good actors’ plays. Besides, scientists agree that movies are the way to have a rest.

                  Last but not least, knowledge is also one of the major reasons of increasing interest to films. For example, some of them are full of historical or scientific facts. It is more pleasant to see such kind of films as a way of education than to read information in a book. In addition, language is simpler and illustrations are more colorful and bright, that is why they are so well-known among the population.

                  All things considered are proof why films have a lot of audience. To my mind, when we watch an interesting story we have a real rest and get pleasure, also we learn how to make a decision, how to show our feelings or can learn some interesting facts. Therefore, movies are so appealing now and will be attractive in future too (too is more informal, in written style "as well" is used more often in the end of a sentence).[/QUOTE]

                  Если Вам будут не понятны некоторые исправления, буду рада пояснить.

                    • Здравствуйте всем на этом форуме, решила присоединиться.

                      Вот одно из эссе, что написала. Буду очень благодарна за советы, так как ещё плохо понимаю структуру и все тонкости. Заранее благодарю отозвавшихся.

                      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 with this opinion?

                      Usually there are two ways states may choose to punish for someone committing a murder: imprisonment for life without a right to parole, and the death penalty. Capital punishment is often justified with an argument that by executing convicted murderers, we will deter the would-be murderers from killing people. However, to my mind, this might have both negative and positive affects on society if not proprelly used.

                      It must be a psychological effect of c.p. that is considered to be a deterrent from crimes; however, is this effect strong enough? Indeed, every one could say that possibility of the death penalty makes us feel horror, first of all because it is associated with pain which is a human intrinsic fear. However, it is known that perpetrators sentenced for life beg for capital punishment, because life in prison is unbearable for them. In this respect, c.p. won't serve the purpose.

                      Brutalization of society and deterioration of state relations with all citizens is another side affect which capital punishment might lead to. Poor people could not secure themselves good lawyers, judges make mistakes and therefore the innocent and the poor could be wrongfully convicted. Such mistakes might lead to further crimes in revenge for the innocent and our lives are less secure in that respect.

                      However, it must be admitted that, plea bargaining might be a useful tool for police in help to help prevent further crimes. For example, if one of two or more murderers was caught and sentenced to death, an offer of a reduced sentence in exchange for the other murderer’s names might be his strongest incentive.

                      Taking everything into account, on one hand capital punishment might guard against atrocities in society, while on the other hand if not properly administered c.p. might lead to an increase in violent crimes. It is definitely a versatile judicial tool which should only be applied with utmost prudence.

                        Generally, a very good and balanced essay. Quite good grammar and impressive vocab. range and - this is very important - easy to follow since there's no Runglish.

                        However, I don't undersdand why you keep talking about p.c. (political correctness)? Don't ever use any abbreviations or contractions in essays!

                        There are a couple of problems with punctuation, which results in readability problems, i.e. the sentence below doesn't require the comma after 'that'. I don't also understand the use of helpX2:
                        However, it must be admitted that, plea bargaining might be a useful tool for police in help to help prevent further crimes.

                        It's also advisable to avoid colons in essays as they are not ususally part of this type of writing. In your case it's even worse as this is the very first sentence of the essay and the comma there is not justifiable at all. There are severa other 'glitches' with punctuation but nothing too serioius.


                        It's difficult to judge from just one essay which is not written under the test conditions but I think you are looking at 7 to 7.5

                          No, I'm not kidding.
                          Just try to stick to the KISS principle as you tend to 'overdo' (at least this is what I think might be happening).

                            • Посмотрите, пожалуйста одну из первых попыток

                              Task:You have several library books that you are unable to return because a family member living in another city has fallen ill and you must go and take care of him/her.
                              Write a letter to the library explaining the situation. Apologize for the inconvenience caused, and explain what you will do to get your books returned.[/FONT]
                              You should write at least 150 words.

                              Answer:
                              Dear Sir/Madam.
                              I took some books at your library on 21 October 2010 and was to return them back until 31 October 2010. The books are “Cujo” by Steven King and “Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. A catalog number of the first book is 14478 and the catalog number of the second book is 8956.


                              I must inform you that I will not be able to return them before this day. My brother has fallen ill and I had to leave Moscow urgently.

                                Task:You have several library books that you are unable to return because a family member living in another city has fallen ill and you must go and take care of him/her.
                                Write a letter to the library explaining the situation. Apologize for the inconvenience caused, and explain what you will do to get your books returned.[/FONT]
                                You should write at least 150 words.

                                Answer:
                                Dear Sir/Madam.
                                I took some books at your library on 21 October 2010 and was to return them back until 31 October 2010. The books are “Cujo” by Steven King and “Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. A catalog number of the first book is 14478 and the catalog number of the second book is 8956.


                                I must inform you that I will not be able to return them before this day. My brother has fallen ill and I had to leave Moscow urgently.

                                As a result, I will be able to bring the books on 5 November 2010. It is date when I will come back to Moscow. Nevertheless, if it is necessary for you to get these books earlier, I would send them using ground delivery service.

                                I apologize for inconveniences which you have got from me. Moreover I believe that such situations would not be anymore.
