        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Reza and welcome to Writefix</p>
<p>Here's a few comments on your essay.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Word Choice/Word Form/Usage</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>the new <span style="background-color: #ffff00">vivid</span> lifestyle</li>
<li>the new <span style="background-color: #ffff00">machinery</span> lifestyle</li>
<li>the new <span style="background-color: #ffff00">consumary</span> lifestyle</li>

<li>for parents to care their children → for parents to care for their children</li>
<li>This is also very <span style="background-color: #ffff00">supportive</span> by people → This idea is also supported by people who say...</li>
<li>parents who have to work hard outside home <span style="background-color: #ffff00">have normally lack</span> of time → parents who have to work hard outside home normally have a lack of time   <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OR</strong>  </span> parents who have to work hard outside the home lack time to…</li>
<li>there is no more energy to<span style="background-color: #ffff00"> put to t</span>heir children → they have no more energy for their children   <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OR</strong></span> they have no more energy to devote to their children</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #ffff00">The childhood ages</span> demands lot of <span style="background-color: #ffff00">parential</span> attentions to develop a healthy character<span style="text-decoration: line-through"> <span style="background-color: #ffff00">inside</span> a person.</span>  (17 words) →  Children need a lot of parental attention in order to develop properly. (12 words)</li>
<li>Children usually get depressed and r<span style="background-color: #ffff00">eact this flaw</span> → Children usually get depressed and react <span style="color: #800000"><strong>to this absence of</strong></span> parental care</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Organization</strong></span></p>
<p>Your organization is fine until the conclusion. You wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
<span style="background-color: #ffff99">According to many reports, juvenile delinquency inside adults who grow up with less parential attention is far more comparing to those who have had their parent’s attention</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This sentence needs to <span style="color: #800000"><strong>move to the body.</strong></span>  Don’t add any new information in the conclusion. You can <a href="/?page_id=1587" target="_self" target="_blank">read more about conclusions</a> here.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Shorten/Simplify</strong></span></p>
<p>You wrote:</p>
<ul>
<li>Therefore the modern lifestyle would not help in any way in favour of children receving more attention from their parents. (20 words)</li>
</ul>
<p>Here’s one possible rewrite:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Therefore the modern lifestyle does not help children to get enough attention from their parents. (15 words)</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Coherence and Cohesion</strong></span></p>
<p>You wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
H<span style="background-color: #ffff99">owever being very widespread,</span> the recent way of living <span style="background-color: #ffff99">would slowly hurt</span> the necessary attention</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The link is not clear here between ‘being widespread’ and ‘slowly hurt.’ Here’s one possible rewrite:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
However, as more and more parents work outside the home, children will receive less and less attention from their parents.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Avoid Generalizations</strong></span></p>
<p>You wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Children usually get depressed and react this flaw by committing juvenile crimes a<span style="background-color: #ffff00">t the worst level however.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Do all children of working parents commit serious crimes? Just add 'some' and the sentence will be OK.</p>
<p>Avoid generalizations: Have a look at the <a href="http://www.ielts.org/pdf/UOBDs_WritingT2.pdf" target="_self" target="_blank">official descriptors for IELTS Task 2 Writing (public version) here</a>, under Task Response.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Layout</strong></span></p>
<p>Overall, the layout is fine. You thesis sentence needs work: it could be in a million essays:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
This essay is going to challenges both ideas.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>You should rewrite this to make it specific to the topic. In any case, did you really challenge both ideas?!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Word Count</strong></span></p>
<p>Your essay is over 340 words long. This is too long. Try to get down to about 300 maximum and it will be stronger. There are many words you could remove:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
parents who have to work hard outside home <span style="text-decoration: line-through">have</span> normally lack <span style="text-decoration: line-through">of</span> time to interact with their children. They <span style="text-decoration: line-through">definitely</span> have much responsiblity <span style="color: #800000">and pressure</span> at work <span style="text-decoration: line-through">and they are possibly under work pressure</span>. As a result, they <span style="text-decoration: line-through">should be</span> <span style="color: #800000">are</span> very exhausted a<span style="text-decoration: line-through">fter a tedious daywork</span> and <span style="text-decoration: line-through">thus there is no more</span>  <span style="color: #800000">have no</span> energy <span style="text-decoration: line-through">to put to</span> for their children. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Your version: 56 words. Without the underlined words: 37 words.</p>
<p>This means more words are available for extra ideas, and you have more time to choose the correct words and fix errors. <span style="color: #800000"><strong>Shorten and simplify</strong></span> whenever you can!</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>IELTS Writing Sample #157<br />
 Thursday, 14 June 2012<br />
 Modern lifestyles mean that many parents have little time for their children. Many children suffer because they do not get as much attention from their parents as children did in the past.<br />
 Do you agree or disagree? Write at least 250 words.</p>
<p>Some people think that the new vivid lifestyle help parents to provide better quality of life for their children. However, the majority of people belive that the new machinery lifestyle leaves not much space for parents to care their children. This essay is going to challenges both ideas.</p>
<p> The new consumary lifestyle demands both parents to work hard outside home. Probably this is the most obvious impact of our modern society. This phenamenon has become very popular in recent decades because many parents could be able to provide better lives for their children by improving the economy of the family. Children can learn many things at kindergartens where they are normally sent to by their parents at the very early stages of their life. This is also very supportive by people who prefer their children to enter the society at childhood and grow up in a more dynamic environment rather than in the limitation of a family. However being very widespread, the recent way of living would slowly hurt the necessary attention the children shall receive from their parents.</p>
<p> <br />
 On the flip side, parents who have to work hard outside home have normally lack of time to interact with their children. They definitely have much responsiblity at work and they are possibly under work pressure. As a result, they should be very exhausted after a tedious daywork and thus there is no more energy to put to their children. The childhood ages demands lot of parential attentions to develop a healthy character inside a person. However the modern lifestyle on the contrary, leaves no time for the parents to care their children the way it should be. Children usually get depressed and react this flaw by committing juvenile crimes at the worst level however.</p>
<p> <br />
 According to many reports, juvenile delinquency inside adults who grow up with less parential attention is far more comparing to those who have had their parent’s attention. Therefore the modern lifestyle would not help in any way in favour of children receving more attention from their parents.</p>
