Hi, it's best if you practice your writing every day. For example, you can compose a short essay following the IELTS requirements and post it here on the forum. Then we can give you our feedback regarding your writing skills.
What do you think?
Regards
Torsten
PS: Why are you preparing for the IELTS?

Thanks yr reply. I am intensive therapy doctor in St/Petersburg, Russia. Looking for job overseas but without IELTS I cannot take any courses to proove my Qualification. Here I attach one of my essays
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children though the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit a child's freedom in the name of safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. They can't seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science too. But what if their child's true love is art, or writing, or car repair?
Parents are usually eager to pass on their value to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different ways of thinking. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always rights. But when they get older, they realize there are other views. Sometimes parents, especially older ones, can't keep up with rapid social or technology changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that her parents don't really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.
Besides could you advice if reading samples of written essays makes any good  |

Hi,
My suggestions are in CAPITAL letter
| Quote: | Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children though the eyes of a protector.

Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. They can't seem to separate from their children in their mind/LOOK AT THEIR CHILDREN OBJECTIVELY. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science too. But what if their child's true love is art, or writing, or car repair?

Very good.
