        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dang and thanks for your essay.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's organized and meets the requirements, but you should put more of yourself into it. </p>
<p>Drop the passives, tell a story, explain how you ended up doing engineering instead of medicine, outline the possibility of you achieving this dream or wish  - make it personal and interesting.</p>
<p>In the IELTS Writing Descriptors for Task 2, for Band 7 an "awareness of style" is required under lexical resource – not just knowing the word, but knowing how it is used (see <a href="http://www.ielts.org/pdf/UOBDs_WritingT2.pdf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ielts.org/pdf/UOBDs_WritingT2.pdf</a>). This can mean using simpler words in a more relaxed style – NOT using more complicated words in a very formal style.   </p>
<p>Above all, <span style="color: #800000"><strong>don't state the obvious</strong></span>. A sentence like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
From the start of the human society, the necessity of cure for sickness has been significant.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>does not really tell us anything new. You already told us that "medicine is of considerable importance in life."  </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Vocab and Usage</strong></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Medicine is one of my <span style="text-decoration: line-through;background-color: #ffff00">most</span> <span style="color: #800000"><strong>main</strong></span> interests – or favorite/closest/deepest/chief, etc.</p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000">Word Order</span></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In the contemporary life, people <span style="text-decoration: line-through"><span style="background-color: #ffff00">more consider</span></span> their heath.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>could change to </p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Today, people have become more concerned about their health.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The subject helps learners <span style="text-decoration: line-through"><span style="background-color: #ffff00">more grasp</span></span> the body’s organs </p>
</blockquote>
<p>could change to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The subject helps learners to understand [more about] the functions of the body’s organs. </p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Word form</strong></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The <span style="background-color: #ffff00">medicine progresses</span> become one of the foremost indices</p>
</blockquote>
<p>could change to</p>
<ul>
<li>Medical progress is a key index of development  <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OR</strong></span></li>
<li>Advanced medical care is a key indicator of development.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>Try to have three, not two examples in a sentence:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
It must be fantastic to know how your body composed and how the<span style="background-color: #ffff00"> stomach, the lung</span> work.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>could change to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
It must be fantastic to know how your body is composed and how the stomach, lungs, and other organs and systems work.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Irregular past tense</strong></span> ('lead', etc)</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<span style="background-color: #ffff00">Leaded</span> by this aim, medicine’s students are encouraged to…</p>
</blockquote>
<p>change to </p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Led/Inspired/Guided by this aim, medical students [students of medicine] are encouraged to… </p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Empty phrases</strong></span></p>
<p>Try to avoid empty phrases like<span style="text-decoration: line-through"> 'a</span> <span style="text-decoration: line-through">large number', 'day after day', 'from the beginning of time', 'there is'/'there are':</span> </p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Day after day, there is a large number of patients cannot afford to pay their medical services</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This could be radically shortened to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Many patients cannot afford treatment.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Verb Tense</strong></span></p>
<p>I'm not sure about the verb tense in your sentence. Should it be hypothetical (conditional), since you are an engineer and not a doctor at the moment?</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Being a voluntary doctor I <span style="background-color: #ffff00">am</span> able to help poor sick to obtain basic treatment for their ill health.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This could change to </p>
<blockquote>
<p>
As a volunteer doctor, I would be able to help the poor and sick to obtain basic treatment.</p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Usage: Try to use verbs instead of nouns</strong></span></p>
<p>There are five 'heavy' nouns in this sentence:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
From the <span style="text-decoration: underline">start</span> of the human <span style="text-decoration: underline">society</span>, the <span style="text-decoration: underline">necessity</span> of <span style="text-decoration: underline">cure</span> for <span style="text-decoration: underline">sickness</span> has been significant.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The nouns weigh down the sentence and make it flat and uninteresting. Replace nouns with verbs.  But there is another problem in the sentence  - it doesn't really say anything.  There's nothing wrong with the grammar – it's just a non-dynamic sentence.</p>
<p>What about this?:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
We have always needed doctors.</p>
</blockquote>
<p> In the sentence:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Medicine is <span style="background-color: #ffff00">of considerable importance</span> in life</p>
</blockquote>
<p> Change the nouns to adjectives (and show the reader that you know he or she knows something already):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
 Medicine is, obviously, very important.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Simplify:</strong></span> Drop the passives, drop unnecessary nouns, drop all sentences which don't really tell us anything we don't know. </p>
<blockquote>
<p>
 Its role has been especially affirmed in epidemic diseases where life of human was threatened.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>could change to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Medicine helps fight epidemics like AIDS and flu infections. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>I look forward to seeing essays with more of your opinion in them! Sorry to take advantage of your 'considerable willingness to receive comments'  but I know you can write  - just relax and write! </p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you could study a subject that you have never had the opportunity to study, what would you choose? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.</strong></p>
<p>There are numerous subjects I have opportunities to study myself or to be taught. <span style="text-decoration: underline">Nevertheless</span>, medicine is one of my most interests <span style="text-decoration: underline">which </span>I have never learnt. If I had an opportunity I would choose medicine as a discipline to study. This essay covers some main reasons for clarifying my choice.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">First of all</span>, medicine is of considerable importance in life. From the start of the human society, the necessity of cure for sickness has been significant. Its role has been especially affirmed in epidemic diseases <span style="text-decoration: underline">where</span> life of human was threatened. <span style="text-decoration: underline">Moreover</span>, in the contemporary life people more consider their heath. <span style="text-decoration: underline">As a result</span>, the medicine progresses become one of the foremost indices of social development.   </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Secondly</span>, there are various interests and attractions of studying medicine. The subject helps learners more grasp the body’s organs and their functions. It must be fantastic to know how your body composed and how the stomach, the lung work. <span style="text-decoration: underline">On the other hand</span>, one of the most notable aims of medicine is looking for new medical treatments. Leaded by this aim, medicine’s students are encouraged to learn, train and practice their abilities.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Finally</span>, if I could study medicine and become a doctor, I would help the poor in my country. Day after day, there is a large number of patients cannot afford to pay their medical services. The poor, <span style="text-decoration: underline">therefore</span>, do not obtain minimum conditions of health care. Being a voluntary doctor I am able to help poor sick to obtain basic treatment for their ill health.</p>
<p>To sum up, <span style="text-decoration: underline">although</span> I am an engineer in transportation field, there is a desire to be a voluntary doctor in my mind. It will possibly never come true, but I will support voluntary doctors all over the world as much as I can.</p>
