- Если вам нужна только грамматика - попробуйте English Grammar in Use.Мне кажется, ютуб тоже может служить подспорьем, дайте ему еще один шанс.Есть канал одного преподавателя - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQQpescDpZ6d3lu9j0fPA7g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQQpescDpZ6d3lu9j0fPA7g</a>.Она не то что бы преподаватель высокого уровня - даже наоборот, но как раз в своих видео она растет с каждым разом. Недостатков там очень много, но для начала вам подойдет.0 votedApril 1, 20200
- Hello, Olga. I believe that the sentence was rearranged correctly. However, the connotation seems to be a bit off. It does make sense to hold an accountant responsible, thus punishing him or her for the mistake. Although, the sentence specifically states that "it (Inland Revenue) does not hold the accountant responsible”. So, in your words, even if the accountant makes a mistake, he or she does not get sacked.0 votedMarch 22, 20200
Я не нэйтив, будьте внимательны.
I find new friends - Хочу обратить ваше внимание, что, так как вы использовали present simple, вы говорите об "общем случае". То есть, "Я нахожу/завожу новых друзей"
Hello dears! - Не совсем уместное использование слова "dear" в данном контексте. На мой взгляд, лучше использовать его в качестве прилагательного вместе с другим существительным. В любом случае, смотрится немного фамильярно.My name is Valery, I live in Russia. I am currently studying English. I want to find new friends who are interested in Russian. We will be able to exchange contacts for communication and correspondence.
I will be glad to new acquaintances. - An acquiantance - существительное, а значит, предложение не согласовано. Как в том анекдоте - "Он только что гранату".
I will be glad to make/meet/have/etc new acqaintances

IELTS 35
Many people say that the 9/11 is a significant world event that has changed the world. Discuss the influence on world economy and other aspects taken by 9/11 incident.
It is the most famous incident in(of) the twenty first(https://www.dailywritingtips.com/writing-the-century/) century. I suppose that, there is no a modern person who does not know this news (какое-то неуклюжее предложение. После "no" "a modern person" не поставить, "not" вместо "no" тоже не очень звучит. Лучше его переписать заново - there isn't anyone left .. или что-нибудь другое). This event have (либо has, в настоящем, либо had, в прошедшем) influence on many sides of social life, such as: economic, politic (с "economic" все правильно, а вот во втором случае https://www.dictionary.com/browse/politic я бы добавил окончание al) and everyday life. I will describe main points of modern life which had been changed after 11 September. (У всех свое мнение, но многие считают, что писать "This essay will discuss..." и ему подобные предложения во введении не нужно - экзаменатор и так увидит, что будет обсуждаться или будет описано. Если этот вопрос действительно из IELTS, то структура вступления не выдержана. У Вас должен быть 1) парафраз вопроса, 2)тезис; Вы же своим первым предложением ссылаетесь на первое предложение вопроса, хотя стоило его перефразировать. Вместо I will describe, что включает I - мнение, которое у вас в вопросе не требуют, можно расширить тезис).
First of all, it is economics. After two skyscrapers fell down, the price of crude oil increased significantly. In 2007, the price for a barrel of oil was more then than $200. It is generally known, that (известно(,) что - в русском имеет запятую. В английском языке that при таком употреблении не обособляется) the price of oil regulates an economic development of countries, (здесь нужен либо: 1) артикль, 2) this - т.к. мы говорим о нефти, 3) что-то посложнее, the aforementioned) cheap energetic recourse gives an opportunity to developing countries. (две части предложения не образуют одно. Стоило их лучше связать или разделить). Thereby most of developing countries don't obtain extra economic growth. (Вроде бы все было в прошлом, а тут настоящее время. Это общее предложение, не связанное со вторым?)
Secondly, After this 11 September was a several war (после теракта 11 сентября было несколько войн? ок - shortly after the terrorist attack several conflicts rekindled) near a north Africa (in the north African region) and Arabian Peninsula. All of these wars usually regarding (were started under a cover of/ using an exuse to) search of for chemical or nuclear weapons. As a result, Europe have been got (Европа - попадает под he/she/it, и к тому же https://www.native-english.ru/grammar/present-perfect-continuous) a lot of refugees.0 votedNovember 19, 20181I should note that I'm not a native speaker, so be cautious.
My weekend.
Today I'm going to talk about my weekend.
On Friday I went to a go away get together of an American student who has been living here for 10 months. The get together was supposed to start at 8 PM. I got there at 7:45 PM. At 8:30 PM I left, since the host - and no one - was there. I got to (you might want to include "have' in there, although "I got" is acceptable in informal speech) confess that it really annoyed me. Anyway...
Later, my wife and I went to a concert. The sound's quality wasn't really good but it didn't prevent us from enjoying it a lot. It was great.
On Saturday, we went to a club. It was amazing. We had beers, chicken and grilled chicken. There were 11 of us they(that's a sprelling mistake I assume). There were some pools and we really made the most of that day. I'm looking foward to going back to that place.
On Sunday, I tried to study for my tests. At night, a scary thing happened: my sister-in-law, after eating a sandwich she felt sick (the word orded is a little off - my sister in law felt sick after eating a sandwich) and she had to be taken to the hospital. But don't worry; now she's ok.
Thank you so much for correcting me. I hope you have a great week!0 votedNovember 19, 20181I should note that I'm not a native speaker, so be cautious.
What's the Topic to Write Today?
A large number of students in non-English speaking countries have taken English exams like IELTS and TOEFL every year (it seems as though you confused present perfect and present simple) to get certified to be a good English speaker (IMO, you should reconsider this part. You neither have to be certified to be a good English speaker nor the opposite). It is often said that, however, studying English for some exams is a waste of time and money in a practical way.
I'll consider about pros and cons of it today.
The reason why many English learners think so is because that to get a good scores, it is inevitable to make patterns to answer in time in a writing section (two parts of your sentence don't work together: to get good score .... implies that you will give instructions or elaborate on the methods, but you start with an "it is...", which would work better as a detached setence), and that is unpractical(https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-unpractical-and-impractical) for daily use.
Moreover, most materials and teachers for exams (I would omit that) recommend choosing the answer which is easy to write or the side which is supposed to be selected by the majority, not the personal thought of the student.
As a result, when thinking of a new topic or an open question, it becomes quite hard to answer with their own ideas.
Another worst (there can't be two worst things) aspect of studying for exams is to require (it doesn't work considering that we are talking about an aspect. We might have to introduce a few words in order for it to work - "Another negative aspect of studying for exams is that it requires candidates to...") candidates to memorize a bunch of vocabulary which is hardly used in real life.
On the other hand, Score tests (I'm confused) are beneficial to some extent because it (you were talking about tests) can visualize the progress of a study as the number and where the weak point of the student is. (a little incoherent, but fine)
Also, there is an idea that even if it's an inefficient way to learn a language, it's a reasonable way for someone who has a difficulty with how to study (I'd suggest to change it to "with studying").
Lastly, taking exams costs money, and sets a short-term goal; it works as a good motivator.
Studying language is often liken to a journey.
The journey is so much long (so long) that it is sensible to aim at a realistic target.
Thank you for reading this. I forgot to write about the fact I don't have to describe the truth of a topic like this entry. >_<0 votedNovember 19, 20181
