SAMPLE WRITING CORRECTION

SAMPLE TASK

Some people say that now we can see films on our phones or tablets. There is no need to go to the cinema. Others say that to be fully enjoyed, films need to be seen in cinema.

 

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

SAMPLE WRITING CORRECTION FOR ESSAY SUBMISSION

Nowadays, it is known the fact that new technology has been improved and the films can be watched on many devices like tablets, phones. Some people prefer watching the movies on them, while others enjoy the movies to the cinema [enjoy/prefer the cinema experience]. I consider that the cinema experience is better if someone wants to enjoy the movie. This essay will discuss these views and I will give my opinion regarding this trend.

 

On one hand, these days some people due to the lack of free time watch movies [syntax: these days, some people prefer watching movies on different gadgets because of the lack of time] on different gadgets. Moreover, it is easier and cheaper to watch in this way than go [verb pattern: going] to the cinema. For example, on the market, there are some new channels, like Netflix [syntax: the market provides new channels/online video streaming platforms. Netflix is not really a channel] where people are able to sign in [‘create an account’ would sound more natural] and enjoy the latest movies. The annual membership is not expensive and the people enjoy watching movies whenever they want.

 

Unfortunately, this trend has some disadvantages, too. For example [you could use a synonym here, such as ‘For instance’ or rephrase the whole sentence], Netflix can become addicted [the correct adjective here is ‘addictive’. ‘Addictive’ means causing or tending to cause addiction. ‘Addicted’ refers to the person who’s watching too much Netflix] and people spend more time alone and in the end, they realise that this habit is not good [What exactly do you mean by ‘not good’? Maybe use a word for this such as ‘unhealthy’, ‘detrimental’] for them.

 

On the other hand, some people prefer going out to watch a movie because is this [syntax: because this is] way they socialise and meet with their friends. Indeed, the movies are more expensive at the cinema but thus, the people fully enjoy the cinema’s experience. For instance, the new technology that cinema provides cannot be shown  on the gadgets such as 3D, 4D, audio system surround, VIP. [not really sure what you mean by this. Is 3D a gadget or is it more a type of technology that gives the illusion of three-dimensional perception?]

 

In conclusion, I consider that going to the cinema to watch a movie has more advantages than spending time watching alone a movie on a gadget [syntax: watching a movie alone on a device] (260 words)
