Name: Ahmet Çakan, TurkeySchool: Ankara Atilim University Worth seeing or just rubbish? In 1981 the first IBM PC was found and in the following years technology has been developing with such a speed that today we only need to press one button to send information all over the world. {1} There is a big {2} number of TV channels providing us with information of all sorts, like documentaries, news, scien-tific {3} programmes etc. But not everything shown on TV has an educational or informing value{4}. In fact, the chance of finding something really interesting when you switch on the box is slim. {5} The most {6} programmes are boring because they are repeats of soap operas you did not want to see the first time they were shown or films you have already seen a dozen times or just stupid competition programmes. I think there are so many other things to do to enjoy oneself that it is really not necessary to waste much time watching TV. |

This is a nicely organised essay with very good control of language (both grammar and vocabulary). For this makeover I wanted to change the first two sentences and make the start of the essay more emphatic. Apart from a couple of minor errors in the rest of the essay, this is a strong answer. Well done, Ahmet, and good luck in the exam! Fiona Joseph 7.11.00 |
