    You see where I have marked red: she has been and perpetrate? Can you try and fix the grammar?

    The same here:

    Oh wow @Rubina, I find this painting super creepy! I love the history behind it – excellent job with your critique.

    Let’s have a look at some corrections:

    I hope this prediction is wrong – it makes me think of a cold world!

    Note:

    A lot of professions, SUCH as lawyers, …..

    (We can use such as to introduce an example or examples of something we mention)

    or more informal:

    A lot of professions, LIKE lawyers, …..

    This is a really nice exercise to show the difference between ‘as’ and ‘like’

    Totally agree. I was having problems with my computer (I bought it in 2016) and the guy in the shop told me – it’s vintage software ๐Ÿ˜ฑ….. Vintage? It’s only 4 years old ๐Ÿค”

    Note:

    maybe is one word

    Here you could also use the future: Maybe it’ll take more time (to indicate a future prediction) ๐Ÿ‘

  • Yes, I wasn’t so young, but still could not have imagined. I didn’t even use a mobile phone in 1998… and I’m not even sure I had an email.

    @Carly this is beautifully written and I love what you say about the colours and the sense of brutality and horror.

    notes:

    >Thereยดs is chaoes everywhere and so was there after the bombing > i suggest this order to make it sound more natural: There is chaos everywhere, just as there was after the bombing. Or, Just as there was after the bombing, there is chaos everywhere.

    >thought provling (probably a typo!) – thought provoking

    > I like this sentence: Looking at this painting I feel moved, thoughtful , a little annoyed and totally sad. Just for practice, can you come up with any synonyms for ‘totally sad’? ๐ŸŒธ

  • I agree with you Paolo! We should always have a choice.

    Note:

    -DependS on which conteXt.

    -spelling: chose – choose

  • Yes, agree!

    Note: No, I didn’t think IT

    Thank you Paolo. I think you make a good point there.

    Notes:

    In my opinion is that the authorโ€™s predictions could be fantastic , but I think that ( DELETE: the) men could lose the (Spelling)FANTASY and (Creative is an adjective. The noun is: ) CREATIVITY โ€ฆ. but mostly TO BE free of MAKING (DELETE: the) mistakeS and after improve THEMSELVES FOR THE better.

    Well done on this task Mรณnica. I agree with what you say about images and how it could be used as a tool for good instead of ‘evil’!

    Your essay is well structured, coherent and fluid. You’ve used some nice vocab in there too:

    Notes:

    1> The main uses of television are depending on age …. here you should use the present simple: The main uses of television depends on age … (because this is an opinion/fact. It’s not about time)

    2> contents – content is usually uncountable (I like this page as it gives a quick summary of the grammar and it has a nice word list) https://ieltsliz.com/uncountable-nouns-word-list/

    Suggestions:

    Another way to say low/high intellectual level – less/more cultured/educated. Low intellectual level – ignorant, uneducated, unread, uncultivated
