A Kayak Trip Gone Wrong
Mary is a 22 year-old girl from Canada. She decided to go on a solo kayaking trip through Southern Alaska. While on her trip she stopped at a forest service cabin for a quick break, leaving her kayak parked on the beach. Mary said that she was taking this kayak trip to meditate and connect herself with nature.
While she was unpacking and moving all her things inside the cabin, she heard a noise and went to the door to see what it was. To her surprise there was a bear slamming his paws onto her kayak. Finally, the bear managed to flip the kayak over until it was wrecked. Bears are supposed to be asleep during that season but it wasn't the case for this one.
Mary knew that the only way to get out of there was by boat so if her kayak was destroyed she had no way to leave the forest service cabin. With no other option at her disposal Mary continued to plead with the mysterious bear. Amazingly it worked. The huge predator finally backed off. Mary survived the bear attack without a scratch but we can't say the same of her kayak.Your writing and your vocabulary is very good but make sure that if you start a story in the past tense, you stick to this through the whole story :)

My task at work is to receive all the information about their problems, and propound some solutions. Then together we choose the best one.
Next, it is time for me to design. I use CAD - CAE software (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Engineering) for this work.All of the pieces should be machining easy so I'm limited to don't create complicated shapes in any mechanism. <--- I am a little confused by this sentence
When finally the mechanical system is completely designed, it's time to design the fabrication. I create drawings with dimensions of each one of the pieces and programs for CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machines with help of CAM software (Computer-Aided Manufacturing).

Hey guys I am 陳瑾文 from China. I am now using the spare time on summer break to prepare for my first Cambridge IELTS exam which would be in August. This is my first time writing an IELTS essay. I am hoping that there could be some people helping me check my grammar and giving me some advice on how to write it in a better way. I don't usually use many big words in my essays since my vocab is kind of poor. I'd appreciate it if you guys could give me some more advanced level words that I could replace some or those simple words in it with. I am also hoping that there could be some people with the experience of teaching IELTS to tell me how much of score I am likely to get in the exam if I write my essays like this. Thanks a lot guys! Here we go~
Topic: Some people think that children should obey the rules or do what their parents and teachers want them to do. Other people think that children controlled too much cannot deal with problem themselves in adulthood. Discuss both views and state your own opinion.
My essay:
Children are expected to obey some basic rules both at home and in school. There is no doubt that some specific rules could help children understand how things work better. However, I believe that there could be more disadvantages than advantages if the rules are too strict.
The main reason for establishing rules is to help children understand things better. For example, how to behave properly in front of others and how to get along with others. These could be important skills in their future life. If, in life, there is no rule about what kind of things they are not supposed to do, they are not likely to figure out the way of dealing with things by themselves in adulthood.
However, establishing rules which are too strict could have a negative impact on children because they might start to rely on the rules too heavily. If they are used to following rules which are set by others it could be hard for them to solve problems independently in the future. For example, they might not find it possible to make plans by themselves. In this case, how could you expect them to be successful in their future career?
From my point of view, it is critical to help the children to save their creativity when they still have it. The very first necessary thing to do is to give them enough space where they can develop what they have instead of setting strict rules for them as this does not seem to be helping.Your English is extremely good. I hope this is useful for you :)

I dreamed that a friend of mine died.
I didn’t know the cause of his death so I asked someone about it at his funeral service.
Me: What happened to him?
Her: A fire broke out at a house next to him.
Me: (Ah, so….he got caught in the fire)
Her: And he was trying to take a picture of it in a tree and fell to the ground. That’s why he died.
Me: ....Your meaning is very clear and your English is very natural :) just be careful of the capital letters.
