Dear Sir/Mad

What did you mean? was it a typo?
As you know it's very tough for a person who has got score of 6 in general version, to get score of 8 in academic...I suppose that it needs several months working hard.
Needless to say, everything is possible.
this forum is for TOEFL essays but if you want to write something similar to TOEFL essays you can, and we all would be glad to...

I believe that a teacher who wants to teach ... IELTS or TOEFL should be a native speaker of English or at least he/she is expected to had a score of 7.5 with enough work experience as a top priority for teaching. so you should aim for a higher score, however for me as a mechanical engineer score of 7 might be good enough.
I have to do TOEFL test next month then I want to take IELTS test in a couple of months.
however, it's good if you want to take IELTS test too. I Hope I'll learn from your experience. I have have read , I think over 100, essays hear and I have written some ...Hopefully I'll see yours.
Glad to meet you by the way.

It's utterly different meaning #8 (permalink) Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:08 am   It's utterly different meaning
 

I think ( a teacher of English) means I teach English, however I am not a native speaker. On the other hand, ( an English teacher) means I am a native speaker whatever teach English or not.

Hi guys,
I'm going to send one of my writings,I would appreciatev everybody who rorrect it for me.
topic:
How do movies or TV affect people
My writing:
Watching TV is no longer a new concept like few years ago and then it can be claimed that there is a huge growth in the number of TV programs and channels and also movies everyday step to the world. More and more children, youngsters and elderly watch TV or movies. Watching TV or movies absolutely holds the ability of bringing about both benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, watching TV can get an extremely great amount of information in a vast number of fields and on the other hand it can spread some wrong manners in the society.
Imaging some one enthusiast about getting familiar with Latin America's culture while living in Iran watching numbers of appropriate documentaries about this region can get whole interesting information, otherwise there is no way except taking a long trip and spending a huge amount of time and money which is impossible for very many. The story is the same for other fields as science, art and politics.
Despite of benefits, however, there are some disadvantages about TV which makes it harmful. One of the most significant drawbacks is that people imitate stars that sometimes have not descent characteristics and habits and then these impropriate behaviors become as a norm in a society. For instance after some TV programs, speaking in a wrong way or using very cheap vocabulary or using violent behaviors or some kinds of drugs become very usual in a country.
In a word, I believe that future will expect the more up going trend in the number of movies and TV programs and then it seems necessary to control the qualities and their effects on the society because this media can strongly affect different ages and levels of society. Also all sort of movies have not be watched.
Best wishes

Hi shahla
I have made some suggestions:

Watching TV (watching films on TV). is no longer a new concept like few years ago and then it can be claimed that there is a huge growth in the number of TV programs and channels and also movies everyday step to(what did you mean?) the world.

The story is the same for other fields as science, art and politics(and so on/so forth).

Also all sort of movies have not(to) be watched.(all sort of movies aren't valuable to watch)


Did managed for writing just 300 words which your essay consist of? you could have written more...300 words is acceptable on TOEFL test...I'm not familiar enough with IELTS.
since you have to use British English for your IELTS test, I use British one to revise..
like:
programme(BrE)=program(AmE)
film(BrE)=movies(AmE)
(1)Do not use imitate when you mean to do the same thing as someone else.
Use copy instead: He worries that his younger sister will copy someone and leave home.
imitate(verb) means:to copy the way someone behaves especially in order to make people laugh.
start a new topic and post it to this forum:

click the button of (New topic) write your essay and post it by clicking the button of (send message).
Let me know If you have any suggestions.
Good luck with your writing...

Hi dear Richard
Thanks a lot for your suggestions.Writing in Ielts exam has two parts,in one of them which I'm practicing right now,you have write at least 250 words and I think 300 words is very good.
I'm going to send one of my writings,... everybody(anybody( I think anybody is used in negative or question sentences.)) who rorrect (corrects) it for me.(you are not going to send!(when I was writing this sentence ,I was going to send it) you sent it...I would appreciate it if someone correct(evaluate or revise) my essay.)

Watching TV (watching films on TV). is no longer a new concept like few years ago and then it can be claimed that there is a huge growth in the number of TV programs and channels and also movies everyday step to(what did you mean?(I mean everyday some new films shows in the movies) ) the world. (as time goes by,)More and more children, youngsters and elderly watch TV ??or movies. Watching TV or movies absolutely holds the ability of bringing about both benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, (by)watching TV(TV programme/Chanel one/a person can get an extremely great amount of information in a vast number of fields and on the other hand it can spread some wrong manners in the society (societies).

Good afternoon Shahla
Thanks for telling me more about IELTS

I just looked it up in a dictionary:

anyone :
1-used to refer to any person, when it is not important to say exactly who:
Anyone else who knows Shahla should help him with his writing.
If anyone sees Shahla, ask her to call me.


2-In questions means 'someone':
Is there anyone who I can talk with?

3-In negative sentences means no person:
There wasn't anyone there.

movies everyday step to the world.=everyday some new films shows in the movies (you yourself think that your sentences are correct? just double check them from grammatical viewpoint and ponder whether they make sense to yourself or not.) sound vague to me...If they are right, let me know.

(taking) some kind of drugs(or drug trafficking) become very usual in a country.(what do you mean?) nothing!
(I mean upward trend)=pretty good

and your first posted writing:
cheque and correct
cheque BrE= check AmE = noun
If I'm not mistaken you have to use "check=in both BrE and AmE" in order to have a verb in your sentence.

Keep writing.
Thanks.

How do movies or TV affect people...
Hello everybody I am trying to write IELTS essay in the same topic... and request for evalution.
This question could be a topic for Ph. D. thesis due to its broadness but still I would try to express my opinions considering only general meaning of terms "movies" and "tv". It is becasue there are certainly too wide classification of movies and TV programmes.
Thinking in the positive aspects, these gadgets definately help people to broaden their knowledge, experience and their general IQ level. Students can choose to watch study specific TV programs, scientific movies etd. Similarly, business people get updated about latest news, markets and economics indicators. Of course, these discoveries have brought much more options for the purpose of our ntertainments.
Talking about negative aspects, these arethe means for the entertainments, news, sports, music and what not. They are not the end themselves. It is more important for what purpose these items are used. The media can be used to justify cultural hegemony or to creat hatred between the puple on the basis on race, religion, etc. On the private sphere, the avent of there means has increased the exposure majority to the pronography, violance. I think lots of people think these exposures are affecting society and making societies amoral.
To conclude, of course there are negative aspects of these movies and tv but their positive contributions are spectacularly enermous.Those negative apects could also be minimized with better regulatory mechanism. Thus, I consider that the movies and tv have affected in good manner to make our life more enternaining, enriching and more lively.
