- I would argue that your use of 'professionally' is ok, however, the 'collectively' is where I might make a comment. I think that this is a bit of a run on sentence, you could split this second half into two sentences for sure. My own suggestion would be the following Having professionally trained in landscape architecture and urban design, he has gained in-depth knowledge of design, research, and a history of each domain. In addition, he has collectively understood the relationship between urban landscape and contemporary urbanism. Edit: Then again, looking at others comments, 'professionally' and 'trained' are a bit redundant, so I suppose you could fully omit 'professionally' from the beginning. I would stand by my 2nd comment though on collectively.0 votedJanuary 15, 20190
Elephant man
Please correct me if I made mistakesYesterday I read story about an elephant man. I always thought that this story was not from real life, I thought that it is a imagination of the writer. When I finished with book, I decided to search more information about this book on the Internet. I was surprised when I knew that the main character was not a fictional character but a real person and quite famous in England. This man had a hard life since from early childhood. He had a terrible ill which makes his body ugly. Many bad and stupid people laught at him because of his illnes, but by will of God he found a lot of good and kind people who makes last ages of his life happy and safety. The name of this man was Joseph Merrick. He was a man with a vulnerable and at the same time strong heart, as he was able to find the beautiful in many simple things in his difficult life I really liked this story. it makes think about many things, that we often forgot.
1. is a - 'an imagination' Always use 'an' on words that start with vowels (a,e,i,o,u).
2. I finished with book - 'I was finished with the book' You're talking about the past tense right? Then use 'was' not the present.
3. search more - 'search for more'
4. knew - 'learned' Again, you're talking about the past, if you knew this then you wouldn't say so.
5. since from - 'since his'
6. ill - 'illness' Ill is the adjective, if he had something it would be the the noun, illness; the state of being ill.
7. makes - 'made' Again, you need to stay with the past tense here.
8. ugly - I know what you mean here, but if we're being hyperspecific, I would use a different word. Perhaps 'deformed' or 'unsightly'. Because, in the end, who's to say what ugly really is?
9. laught - 'laughed' simple spelling error
10. illnes - 'illness' again, simple spelling error
11. but by will of God - I would need to see the prompt you're writing about, but did it say in the reading that it was by the will of God? That aside, if it WAS by the will of God, it should be 'by the will of God'.
12. makes last ages - 'made the last years'
13. safety - 'safe'
14. 'a vulnerable' - 'a vulnerability' Vulnerable is the adjective, vulnerability is the noun, the thing he has/had.
15. strong heart - 'a strong heart'
16. beautiful - 'the beauty' Beautiful is, again, the adjective. If he found something, it would be the noun 'beauty'.
17. life I really - You should put a period between 'life' and 'I'. It becomes a run on sentence otherwise.
18. it - 'It' Always capitalize a the beginning of a sentence

Worldwide land degradation is caused by several reasons including three main reasons, over-grazing, deforestation and over-cultivation. 35% land degradation in the world is due to over-grazing, which is extremely influential in Oceania, whose total land degradation rate is 13% but 11.3% is caused by over-grazing and only 1.7% by deforestation. 30% of worldwide land degradation is owing to deforestation, which is also the main reason for the land degraded in Europe, counting for 9.8% out of a total 23%. The number is 5.5% for over-grazing and 7.7% for over-cultivation. Over-cultivation is another cause of world land degradation, counting for 28%, and other reasons except those three count for merely 7%. In North America, just 5% of land is degraded, among which 3.3% is due to over-cultivation, which is the most reason, 1.5% is caused by over-grazing, and only 0.2% is caused by deforestation.1. reasons including three main reasons - several reasons, three of which are the main ones to look into. You're being redundant with your previous comment.
2. 35% land - 35% of land
3. influential - word choice here is a bit off, I would use 'prevalent' or 'predominant'.
4. The number is 5.5% for over-grazing and 7.7% for over cultivation - This sentence just seems to short, try and tie it in with your other sentences before or after.
5. most reason - biggest reason
6. 1.5% is - while 1.5% is
0 votedJanuary 15, 20190- Writing specific lessons for IELTS students?
Hello everyone! I was curious about something, the title pretty much explains it. I would like to work with students on their writing, in particular the writing skills necessary to get a high score for their IELTS exam. I'm still new to Italki and am not sure if its possible to do one type of specific arrangement with students like this. In short, is it possible to only set up writing tutoring with students?
I'm essentially looking for other writing teachers that have used this service successfully via writing tutoring/teaching. Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Today I want to talk about how I fight with fear. I wouldn't say that I'm a brave person, as I gave up many things because of fear. But when the situation is really serious I have to find a way to win the fear. Now I would like to give you an example. In 2003 I jumped with a parachute. I was sure, that I would jump, but when a helicopter took off, I realized there is no way back except for jumping. It was a moment I felt real fear. When the aircraft gained altitude, the instructor said: "go..." In order to avoid my survival instinct, I turn off my brain and ordered my body move. And it worked. I went out of the helicopter without hesitation.1. win - No one really says that they're going to 'win' their fear, rather we would say 'conquer my fear'.
2. Now I would like to give you an example - This doesn't flow very well. Part of writing is not only being grammatically correct, but flowing your sentences together in a way that makes you appear fluent. Try to connect this with your previous sentence, or better yet something like 'I believe the best way to discuss the matter is to provide an example from my previous experiences, like the time I jumped from a helicopter'. This peaks the readers interest and will have them reading for more.
3. I jumped with a parachute - Where? On the ground? In your apartment? Maybe saying 'the time I went skydiving' would be better.
4. a - Which helicopter? The one in Wyoming? The one in Argentina? 'The' helicopter is more specific to your situation.
5. moment I felt real fear - 'really afraid' would be better here.
6. I turn off - 'turned off' as you're talking about the past, not the present.
7. body move - 'body to move'
8. And it worked - This sentence is too short, try combining it with the previous or last sentence to make it seem more natural.

It was another usual day for Sandy, who is the owner of a small restaurant, and her son, David. At 8 p.m., a middle-aged, chubby man stepped into her store and ordered a bowl of noodle. To David suspicion, the man placed a hue bag heavily on the stool next to him. What’s more, the man gulped down his food and dashed out the restaurant without bringing his bag. David jumped off the stool and open the bag curiously. “How can it be?” shouted David and Sandy at the same time, while they were staring at tens of thousands of cash put in the bag. Meanwhile, as the man was about to get on the train, he realized that he had left his precious belonging in the restaurant.
David and Sandy had to make a crucial decision, to own the money immorally or to send it to the police station. To David and Sandy, however, justice outweighs anything. Therefore, they reported this situation to the policeman. After they gave out the bag, Sandy turned on the television tiredly in hope of releasing her anxiety. “A rubber was arrested at 10 p.m., and the money was soon found in a restaurant,” said the reporters. A large group of journalists had already surged to Sandy’s restaurant while David was facing them proudly. When they handed David the microphone, he simply said, “Honest is the best policy.”1. noodle - If it's a bowl, it should be noodles, not noodle. Noodle is singular!
2. David - Should be 'David's' as it's his suspicion, so he owns it.
3. hue - I think you mean huge right? spelling error here
4. out - should be 'out of' the restaurant
5. open - 'opened'
6. of cash - tens of thousands of cash is grammatically incorrect. You should indicate what the tens of thousands are, dollars? RMB? Euros? 'thens of thousands of dollars in cash' would be correct.
7. belonging - word choice, I know what you mean but perhaps a different word would be better. Perhaps his precious 'treasure'?
8. own - again, word choice. I think 'steal' or 'seize' would be better than own.
9. policeman - policeman is singular, did they tell just one person or the entire department? In that case, you should say 'police'
10. rubber - 'robber' is the correct word.
11. Honest - 'Honesty' is the correct word. Honest is the adjective, honesty is the activity of BEING honest.
