<p>
 </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Hello Alia</p>
<p>Thanks for this essay. I do have to say that your essay on local languages and dialects was better than this one -  better organized and with fewer fragments. Let me go through a few points:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Chunks of text</strong></span></p>
<p>Try to avoid using phrases or sentences which are not related to the essay. Examples are:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
I agree completely with this statment for many causes which I will discuss in my essay .</p>
<p>In conclosion I agree for hundred per cent with the above statment that it stats my opinion .</p>
</blockquote>
<p>These could be in any essay on any subject, and examiners think of them as &#039;chunks of memorized text.&#039; Your vocabulary and ideas show you don&#039;t need them. Instead, change them by making them specific to the text:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
In this essay, I will explain why I think parents have a huge responsibility to limit their children&#039;s television  exposure.</p>
<p>In conclusion, I agree fully that parents need to be more active in monitoring their children&#039;s television and computer use.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Organization</strong></span></p>
<p>I had to reformat your essay again, Alia -  I am not sure where your paragraphs begin and end!  If you are typing in Microsoft Word, use the little button in the toolbar with the "W" to copy-and-paste into the forum. </p>
<p>If the examiner cannot follow your paragraphs, you are limiting yourself to a Band 5 or even 4. Have a look at the IELTS writing descriptors for Task 2 under "Links:"</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Band 5</span>: may not write in paragraphs, or paragraphing may be inadequate</li>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Band 4</span>: may not write in paragraphs or their use may be confusing</li>
</ul>
<p>But look at Band 7!</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #0000ff">Band 7</span>: presents a clear central topic within each paragraph</li>
</ul>
<p>So it&#039;s very important to use paragraphs, leave spaces, and make it clear to the reader what the main idea is. Make sure your paragraph has a Topic sentence (main idea), and at least two ideas each with a supporting sentence.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000">Fragments</span></strong></p>
<p>There are some fragments in your essay</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>Where children can not  define what thay can watch and what they should not .</li>
<li>Any material suitable for their age.</li>
<li>Not to allow them watching violence films or violence sports, like boxing or kicking . </li>
<li>As it my affects their behaviour latter on with their friends in school or  brothers at home.</li>
<li>The same thing concerning computer games.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Check out the <a href="/?page_id=2011" target="_blank">fragments</a> link here. </p>
<p>In general, you have good ideas and vocabulary and some very good structures, but just watch out for the organization, fragments, and memorized or non-specific text. Don&#039;t throw away marks for nothing!</p>

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Parents have to limit their childern&#039;s time watching t.v or playing computer games.</p>
<p>I agree completely with this statment for many causes which I will discuss in my essay .</p>
<p>First of all, parents have to manage their children&#039;s time to help them using it as efficient as they can .</p>
<p>So, They should contol how many hours their children consume using computer or T.v .</p>
<p>Where children can not  define what thay can watch and what they should not .</p>
<p>They should not  watch all programs even that for addults .</p>
<p>Parents have to select them- according to their age- the suitable materials .</p>
<p> For instance, cartoon movies, children&#039;s programs, hobbies programs,or sports. Any material suitable for their age.</p>
<p>Not to allow them watching violence films or violence sports, like boxing or kicking . As it my affects</p>
<p>their behaviour latter on with their friends in school or  brothers at home.</p>
<p>The same thing concerning computer games. They should be for definite hours where it affects their nervouse system and</p>
<p> concentration if played over a prolonged period of time.</p>
<p>From another point of view, Children need to play outside doors to be exposed to the sun light and fresh air.</p>
<p>That will allow their body to grow healthy. In the same time, we can not neglect the importance of exercises and sports</p>
<p> which maintain physical body fitness and improve them psychologycally .</p>
<p>They should play with their friends and peers to be sociable and learn how to manipulate their relationship with others</p>
<p>For all the above reasons I agree but, I encourage parents to limit  their children&#039;s time all over the day and</p>
<p>advice them for their usefulness . </p>
<p>Parents should be possitive, take a role in their children&#039;s life as they are responsible for this.</p>
<p>Finaly, children should practice all activities during their life, which should not be limited to only one direction .</p>
<p>And we have to direct them but, not to push them by force to certain activity or another.</p>
<p>We need them to have balanced personality and expouse to all life situations to grow mature and able to deal with their</p>
<p>daily life. </p>
<p>In conclosion I agree for hundred per cent with the above statment that it stats my opinion .</p>
