Maybe think about what marriage does do people. Can marriage provide a secure and encouraging environment? Can marriage help someone perform better in their career? Does being single give you more time to concentrate on your career? Try to think about being married and being single. In general, what kind of environment/situation do these positions provide people? How do these situations help or hurt a person working in a science field? _________________ Private lessons with Brian -Skype English Lesson |

I have taken a look at the video lesson of my lecture about this topic, and the miss says that I have the right to say my own opinion, she said it's not obligatory to stick with one answer only, I can also say that marriage can be a scourge for couples...
Look at what I said, is it good..?
Marriage can actually be a scourge or an impediment for couples.
Reason 1 : A woman can get fired of her job/career. Because a woman has to look after her kids all the day/time and she sometimes sleeps at a very late hour, probably two hours before she goes to work, and she might miss her day, so if she missed her work a couple of time, she might be then fired/kicked out from the career. A woman at work will not be able to concentrate on her career, she will keep thinking about what she is going to cook when she returns to home, how she could treat her husband after her work, and such endless ideas will push/put the woman into an endless maze and get her concentration of her job out of her mind. |

A woman has to look after her kids all the day/time --> A woman has to look after her kids the whole day / all the time
she will keep thinking about what she is going to cook when she returns to home --> she will keep thinking about what she is going to cook when she returns to home
and such endless ideas will push/put the woman into an endless maze and get her concentration of her job out of her mind. --> and such endless ideas will push/put the woman into an endless maze and prevents her from concentrating on her job.
I just focused on some grammar issues.

I will re-write the ideas, according to what the teacher wants us to do, she prefers to write numbered ideas and reason like Reason 1 , so:-
Reason 1 : A woman can get fired of her job/career. Because a woman has to look after her kids the whole day/all the time and she sometimes sleeps at a very late hour, probably two hours before she goes to work, and she might miss her day, so if she missed her work a couple of time, she might be then fired/kicked out from the career.
Reason 2 : Marriage can cause couple problems that can lead to divorce at the end. A woman will not be able to concentrate on her career, she will keep thinking about what she is going to cook when she returns home, how she could treat her husband, and such endless ideas will push/put the woman into an endless maze and prevents her from concentrating on her job. This can both cause losing her job and problems with her husband because sometimes she may not cook what he wants today, or talk to him in a nervous way because something happened at work that angered her, so this may lead them to divorce at the end.
P.S: Can you check the underlined clause? Is it gramatically correct? |

Now it makes much more sense to me.
Reason 1 : A woman can get fired of her job/career. Because a woman has to look after her kids the whole day/all the time and she sometimes sleeps at a very late hour goes to bed very late. Probably only two hours before she goes to work; she might miss her day, so and if she misseddoesn't show up at her work a couple of time times, she might be then fired/kicked out from the career.
PS kick out is very informal
Reason 2 : Marriage can cause couple problems that can lead to divorce at in the end. A woman will not be able to concentrate on her careerwork, she will keep thinking about what she is going to cook when she returns home, how she could treat her husband, and such endless ideas will push/put the woman into an endless maze and prevents her from concentrating on her job. This can both cause losing her job and problems with her husband because sometimes she may not cook what he wants today, or talk to him in a nervously way because something happened at work that angered annoyed her, so this may lead them to divorce at the end.
I hope this is of help for you.
Great to see that you made the effort ; - )

Yes, it's a lot better now. Thanks..!!!
See!! I have picked this out from the net, can it be a reason..??
In Laws Marriage Problem Just like a coin, marriage also has two sides. While it may seem extremely blissful and ecstatic on one end, in the other end, it might turn out be extremely challenging and problematic. Talking about the not-so-good side of marriage, conflict with in-laws is one of the major problems that the couple faces. In laws can either be extremely supportive and close or turn out to be just the opposite. |

I agree with the statement.

OK, what about the conclusion..? I have thought about this conclusion myself, take a look at it...
Finally, I would just say that Marriage is very important even if it is a scourge for couples sometimes. First, it's one of the good reasons of entering the heavens and because god, the king himself is one who made it and ordered men to marry, so we should follow his command/order. Second, because marriage can certainly protect both men and women from doing illegal habits/actions which are prohibited by the god such as raping innocent women, it's called (Zenna) in Islam, so marriage will prevent the couples from disobeying the god. |

Some general remarks:
1) In conclusions you should not include new information.
2) If there are two words or chunks possible - in an essay I would only write one. e.g. "the whole day/all the time" --> Just choose either one.
Good luck with your work.

For the moment I would leave like that, your tutor should point it out to you.
The first time it is not penalised much or at all; at least not with me.
It is done by many pupils, so do not worry too much for now.
Normally you summarise all the previous statements to emphasise the most important part in a conclusion.
Good luck and you will do well ; - )

OK let me tell you what my teacher did. In a topic about the country's development all her talk was about development in Switzerland, she wrote in the conclusion: Finally, although Switzerland has very small population, it managed to be one of the top countries globally and it happened to have one of the strongest economies.
OK, I will move to my next paragraph:- Write a paragraph about:- What are the some of the reasons behind a country's development. Support your opinions with specific examples.
I picked this out from a website so look at it:
There are many reasons behind a country's development. Reason 1: Educational systems:- We must acknowledge that Education is something that we all need, the differences are just what we learn. Attending school is sometimes too expensive and doesn't feed a family.
Nevertheless there must be a reason for Education. For me it looks like that many countries have realized that Education is the key for globalization process. If we took India for example we can see that a change in the educational system had changed the economy of the country. The country has changed from a poor region to a high potential aria for IT knowledge. |
