    Traffic jams mostly occur during (on) major roads or right near big malls, theatres, bus stands and railway stations

    Introduction needs to talk about causes and solution to tackle this problem rather than just exaggerating the issue.

    Paragraphing has been done inappropriately throughout, B.P 1 is mentioning problem X, and the solution offered is to problem Y.

    B.P 1 and B.P 2 should be dedicated to causes and solution respectively.

    it had a huge amount of earning prospect and we humans can do anything to earn money if it involves huge amount , (Sentence structure could be improved to avoid excessive use of same phrases and words)

    spain and mexico (Spain and Mexico) – proper nouns

    As children learns (learn) – subject- verb agreement

    It is important to use cohesive devices like “In conclusion,” while writing conclusion to increase readability , and conclusion should not talk about any new aspect (e.g : environmental imbalance)

    Follow the IELTS essay writing pattern where two body paragraphs are must to develop the required word limit.

    It is true that (argued by) some people believe that studying in university/college

    Introduction is not up to the mark

    Introduction , body paragraphs should be framed as discussed in the class.

    In introduction, paraphrasing is not up to the mark, there has been lot of repetition and language has been exactly copied from the question

    example in B.P 1, could be presented in a better manner to establish coherence.

    sometimes it may get hard for them to get satisfactory jobs (not only because they are very limited in number , but also very tough to get) because very limited jobs are available in the society related to arts whereas they are also very tough to get

    On the contrary, art activities may put an extra pressure on children along with their academic performance. As a consequence, sometimes it may get hard for them to get satisfactory jobs because very limited jobs are available in the society related to arts whereas they are also very tough to get. In addition to that, a smaller proportion of parents encourage their off-springs to flourish interest in art subjects. – repetition of idea and language

    In conclusion, Even though (some people believe) learning art subjects may have some downsides, I strongly believe it helps pupils recognize their passion which may turn into a career later on in life.

    Second B.P, is not satisfactory.
