  • Thank you, @SaadiaRamzanRamzan. It seems you put some new ideas that are not mentioned in the text. That is good as well. If you look at the text above, what main ideas can you highlight?

  • Do you mean the title of the essay? Sometimes, during university studies, we need to write on topics we are not familiar with. In this case, students do research and pick up the main ideas they want to discuss. The process here is the same. Once you have ideas, you need to structure your writing clearly. Further, in this course, you will know how to do it step...

  • Thank you @SpinMilano

  • Try to focus on some of them and be more specific. You can choose those ideas for which you have more information so you can elaborate easily on them.

  • Thank you for your feedback @SaadiaRamzanRamzan

  • Thanks for noticing that @Hayman

  • Great! Now, you have some good ideas that you can elaborate on in your writing.

  • I agree @ChristianaOppong Thanks for sharing

  • Yes, That is a good strategy.

  • Thank you @ChristianaOppong. You included some new ideas, which is great! What main ideas are discussed in the text above?

  • Working on mistakes is essential in learning. You did a great job!

  • Hi @ZayYar, I appreciate your persistence and desire to get an education. Small steps lead to big goals. I hope this course will be a great start to your journey. Welcome to this course!

  • Thank you for your feedback @WinLaeLaeKyaw You have learnt a lot. There are more valuable to learn in the future steps. See you next week!

  • You did a great job @SayakoTachibana Yes, structuring you ideas is essential as well. I hope to see you next week. Good luck with your learning.

  • I like visiting museums. I would like to read your essay on this topic. @SayakoTachibana

  • You are welcome! @DorothyTomkins

  • Great topic, @ClaudiaCarolinaRoldán. You need to be clearer about who shouldn't spend money. Is it scientists, the government, or Elon Musk?

  • Thanks for your feedback @ClaudiaCarolinaRoldán

  • You are welcome! @AfrahOraha

  • That is great anyway! @ClaudiaCarolinaRoldán

  • Well done! @AfrahOraha

  • Correct! @AfrahOraha Thanks for your answer

  • Thank you, @SayakoTachibana! Your paragraph has a clear reason at the beginning. Then, you can try to develop it further, but remember, you can be even more specific. For example, you can focus on museums or theatres only and write about performances or events taking place.

  • Thank you @AfrahOraha

  • Sounds like a good strategy. @keumsookHahm

  • Having parks for dogs sounds great)) Thank you for sharing @BereniceRodríguez

  • Thank you for providing these reasons, @ChengChunjie. What city are you writing about?

  • Thank you for sharing, @SayakoTachibana. I really want to visit Japan one day.

  • Wow, you have access to the beach. That's amazing @ElizabethKalisa

  • Looking forward to your examples, guys. Try to focus on positive reasons. I am sure there are. I will start first.

    During my studies, I live in Reading, UK. I arrived from a big city, so the phase of life in Reading seemed slow for me. Later, I found benefits from this:

    1. Life-work balance

    2. Many green parks for leisure and activities

    3....

  • The issue has now been resolved if you would like to take part in the exercise. Thanks for your patience.

  • Thank you, @SayakoTachibana, for providing a paragraph. You tried to introduce Tokyo as a lively city with many things to do and reasons to live there. It explains why people choose Tokyo by providing ideas such as mentioning work, social life, education, and leisure. Also, every idea starts with the leader sentence. You did great!

  • These are great examples! @SayakoTachibana Thank you

  • I think this course will be helpful for you @MarthaSalamanca

  • Hi, @MarthaSalamanca, We are glad to meet new students joining this course. Welcome aboard!

  • Good points! @SaadiaRamzanRamzan From these insights, you can develop several ideas.

  • Hi @BibiYousraHakimi Welcome to this course! What do you study?

  • Good points, @JuliannaBezerraVital. Thank you.

  • Great ideas, @JuliannaBezerraVital. It would be easier to elaborate your ideas if you divided those ideas into present and past sections.

  • Yes, learning new languages combines four different skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking. That is why some skills can be developed better than others. This course could be a great start for improving your writing skills.

  • Hi @SaranshSharma, Thank you for introducing yourself. You are a very disciplined person, and I am so impressed. Welcome to this course! I hope you can find new information here to improve your writing.

  • Thank you for reporting this problem. We will resolve this as soon as possible @ChloeC

  • That is a great example! Thank you @TaffyManyumba

  • Hi, @SamMoss, That is a good reason to improve your writing skills. Welcome to this course.

  • That is great!

  • Hi @RoyalBunyatov , I agree with your points. Hope you find this course useful.

  • You are welcome ;)

  • Great ideas!

  • You have chosen the right course, @FarhiyoDahir. Welcome aboard!

  • You can be proud of yourself. If you got a band 7 on the IELTS writing exam, that is a great achievement. Great job! That is absolutely enough to write academic writing at the university effectively since the minimum requirement of most universities in the UK is a score of 6,5-7 on IELTS @LomiataNiuatui

  • Hi @LomiataNiuatui, Thank you for introducing yourself. I suppose you have a good understanding of academic writing since you have studied at UK universities. I hope this course will provide you with extra useful information. Welcome aboard.

  • That is a great explanation of academic writing. @LomiataNiuatui

  • Hi @mohamedboumahdi, Thank you for joining us. Glad to meet you on this course.

  • That is true. It would be better if you mentioned some ideas on technology development and were more specific. For example, social media has changed the way we communicate.

  • Good points! Thank you

  • Well done on providing so many interesting ideas! @LomiataNiuatui I suppose you have a great knowledge of history.

  • Well done! I like the way you put the same ideas opposite each other. That is great!

  • That is a very constructive analysis @Hayman. Thank you.

  • Hi, @HongHoang. This course will be helpful for IELTS writing because it provides basic tips on academic writing. Good luck!

  • Hi @HongHoang What a beautiful name and its meaning. Welcome to this course!

  • I am glad to know that! @SayakoTachibana . See you next week.

  • This a great step forward, @RanielynAlfonso. Well done!

  • Ainur Bulasheva made a comment

    Well done, everyone, on completing the first week. It was nice to meet you all! I hope you liked your experience. Please feel free to leave feedback on what you learnt new with us.

    We are reading every comment and trying to respond as much as we can.

    See you next week, guys!

  • Great job! @MohammadAliLayeq

  • Good job! @Frédéricvanhoolant . You can clearly distinguish the main idea from supporting sentences.

  • Your answer is not clear enough, @bouachaabderrahim. This exercise requires indicating the main idea of the sentence and its supporting part.

  • Good point, @ClaudiaCarolinaRoldán. It is better to devote one idea to each paragraph. And you are right; we always need to keep our research question in mind to avoid straying from the topic.

  • Good strategy, @DMV. Thank you for sharing.

  • Hi @Hayman Welcome to this course :) I appreciate your intention to improve your writing. Hope you will enjoy this course!

  • Hi, @evamdrogomes, I hope you will get a lot of useful knowledge. We would appreciate it if you would be active in the comment section and practice your writing skills with us. Welcome to this course!

  • Welcome aboard! @evamdrogomes Glad to meet new students joining this course :)

  • That is a great point on academic writing. Thanks @TaffyManyumba

  • Thank you, @TaffyManyumba. However, it is not a good idea to copy someone else's answer.

  • Overall, you have two main ideas: 1. The Internet has changed children's interests. 2. The way people access the labour market. Well done!

  • You are welcome :)

  • You are right, @Hayman. Academic writing is usually used in the scholarly community and in formal communications. It is one of the basic skills for university studies.

  • Yes, It is great to see these improvements @TaffyManyumba

  • Thank you for you points @bouachaabderrahim

  • Great points! @Frédéricvanhoolant Thank you :)

  • How many grammes errors have you spotted? Did you identify any strengths?

  • Did you have exactly the same ideas? Great!

  • Well spotted! @TaffyManyumba

  • Good analysis, @Frédéricvanhoolant Thank you. What do you think about structure?

  • Hi @Hayman Thank you for introducing yourself. I hope you will enjoy the content of this course.

  • Hi, @evamdrogomes. I'm glad to meet you on this course. I live in Reading, close to London. It is only 20 min by train. Welcome aboard!
