rose2802 on It's been fun! https://staging5.writefix.com/here-forum/questions-and-comments/its-been-fun#p2296 Questions and Comments https://staging5.writefix.com/here-forum/questions-and-comments/its-been-fun#p2296 dear Mr Writefix, 

i feel sad to hear that the forum is closed. i really hope that the forum will be opened soon. 

 

i have some opinions to improve the forum,  

 

- the forum takes you too much time and effort, but you can save time by establishing a group of members who have abilities to give comments for others' writing. and you dont need to give comments for all of the essays.

- all the essays which are commented should be rewrite, and MR Writefix will give comments for improvement.

- the topic should be provided by the forum. people will post their essays about the topic in a given time, then the essays will be commented. 

- members should give comments for other writings about the changes to better expressions and structures...

- it would be better to divide into groups of members according to their level for examples bank 5, bank 6, bank 7, bank 8...., each bank should have a group leader. 


they are some ideas come up in my mind, i hope  they are useful.

I dont know whether  you have a look at this site or not.. But I think it would be better you would keep " Add Topic" open to those who want to send their essays and for others who like to put comments on them.. I know that you are really busy enough to reply too many students/candidates here, but I guess this at least makes your site alive! such a forum that allowa us to struggle with our essays.

 

Best Regards,

Id really like to continue sending my essays and correcting other essays. As Ive already said it's kind of habit to me to come here and take a look at this site now and then. By the way I guess it would be good if you put emphasis on sending essays regardless of visitors leave comments or not .  However, great thanks for that efforts.

Brian_mcclaine on The young or the old - who is more valued in society? https://staging5.writefix.com/here-forum/about-this-forum/who-is-most-valued-in-society#p2292 Your Argument and Opinion Essays! https://staging5.writefix.com/here-forum/about-this-forum/who-is-most-valued-in-society#p2292 Some people in particular those who are in favor of the traditional society believe that people should  think highly of the old for their valuable experience. However, others think that young people are of great benefit to our society.

Young men and women struggle for positions which is thought the old already have occupied them throughout the world.  They think as today most young people are equipped with fine education therefore they are entitled to take such positions. But it seems that to achieve such goals youngsters should stay at the end of a long queue.

However, old people have valuable experience of life. Indeed this cannot be easily neglected.  The elderly could be a mentor passing on some advice to the young who now run into trouble. Since old people have already been in such circumstances can guide the young.

Meanwhile showing respect to the old is something common in almost every culture.  People are likely to praise elderly apart from what they have done or been. No one wonders if you hold your grandmother or grandfather in high esteem. In fact people might think of that time they will become old, less energetic and fail to do their daily routine, but hope that the others consider their conditions and be treated with respect.

I think the old people need to be valued greatly.  The young can take advantage of many experiences the old gained in their youth.  However, young people should have the chance to show their abilities and take high positions.

ma-frank on Can cultural traditions be destroyed by over-exposure to tourism? https://staging5.writefix.com/here-forum/about-this-forum/does-cultural-traditions-use-as-touist-attraction-will-be-destroyed-or-saved-by-tourists#p2291 Your Argument and Opinion Essays! https://staging5.writefix.com/here-forum/about-this-forum/does-cultural-traditions-use-as-touist-attraction-will-be-destroyed-or-saved-by-tourists#p2291 David Lee said

Some people think that cultural traditions may be destroyed when they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others believe that is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

 

Today, as the disposable income of citizens are increasing,(irrelevant with topic) travelling to historical attractions and learning other cultures is becoming popular. Some residents(local inhabitant /aboriginesworry about that the surging tourist population would disrupt the normal life and ruin the culture in their hometown.( will make effort to protect their inherent culture and tradition)

 In this essay, I will analyze the link between tourists and tourist attractions(should be protection and making money), and explain why congested travelers may jeopardize the local cultural tradition.

 

Regarding the place where has historical value as tourist destination elevate its reputation( i can't understand this, grammar meaning); therefore, both local inhabitants and governments could earn more money. Citizens and authorities could utilize these funds to improve their living standard of citizens and to protect the old architectures respectively. Tourists also propagandize the characteristics of the place which impress them most to their companions. It is the reputation that attracts increasing number of visitors to visit the place and disseminates the cultural tradition to more people. Achieving the attention from governments is another reason. If the culture is popular enough, governors would take measures to protect this culture efficiently.

 

you go around the topic with the theme in para2. u should discuss how tourist benefit historical protection or how negative damage protection, which is not detailed and deeply. 

 

However, the crowded travelers undermine the ambience of the tourist venue. Residents become more materialistic. For instance, some local residents in famous historical villages cheat tourists amid the temptation of profit. Cultural transformation is happening in these places and changing their morality. Some tourists ruin the architectures and historical treasure as well, such as lettering on the priceless brick and touching the objects arbitrarily. Also, the excessive number of tourists makes the tourist attractions bustle and hustle, and the tranquil and serene living habits lost.

 

more detailed discussion than para2, need logic and clear thinking.

 

Even though attracting more people increases the income of local citizens and elevates the reputation of the place, it jeopardizes the life style of the local residents. Be it residents or scenery, the local historical culture cannot be fully protected. Instead, governments should shoulder more responsibility.

 

finally, you use too much difficult and rare words, can u still write them out in exam conditions? ielts needs accurate first then difficulty.

ma-frank on Should museums be free?

para1:

Every country has their own museums to inherit culture and history. Some museums are not free to visitors while others are not. According to my personal knowledge museums’ cultural weigh in a specific country, economic factors and heritage conservation maybe three main measurements to justify which one is better.

para3:

Secondly, in some non developed countries museums and collections can not obtain sufficient government’s subsidies. So, entry fee is an important way for their operation. Only ensuring museums’ existence can collections be protected. Fee revenue can finance deficit in museums’ operation, which maintains basic expenses. This mode is a general way for some private museums or in poor countries. Even fee is the only way for a museum’s existence in Asian or African countries due to without governmental investment or donations.

in conclusion:

 free or charge depends on specific situation in individual country.

i want say in some poor countries or private museums.

Hey, David, I think your idea of using the credit points is great.

I can see you spent lots time to post your comments for others, really helpful.

BTW, did you get your exam result? All passed?

 

Another good thing is that the forum is not fully closed, at least, we still can 'Add Reply'. I am just thinking if it is proper to work on the existing essays. We can add our essay in the existing essay topics if we like--Writefix said that's 500 topics here, cool enough! I think we still can help each other not only for correcting the gramma, structure..., we can get more ideas from the same topic if we contribute on it which we can call 'Brain Storm':)

 

Dear Writefix, how do you think on our suggestions?

 

Hey, Christy,

 

I am going to take my exam on Sep 1st, well, a bit nervous. I know that Chenyu's essay is better than mine, so I just worry about my writing and speaking part.

 

Last time I just got 5.5 in writing, so I need to retake. Hope I can get my dream score in each part, although it is really hard to me.

 

David
