Raise a CSE or send an email to Accra VO to ask how far. I am not sure if you can call Accra

@Topsmamen @joo2018 @Stencil @Ifeoma77 more suggestions?

Hello everyone,

Please I need advice on what to do. I applied for EE on the 24th of April 2018 I was single then so I applied alone. I got a mail that My ppr was ready in October but I got married so I informed cic and I was able to add my husband. Then we got ADR on the 10th of January. We were informed in the mail that decisions will be made in 30 days. My medicals expired in Febuary so by March I was told to do another medicals. My status shows MEP now. But we've not heard from them since then. Our visa office is Accra, should I be worried?

THE STORY SO FAR

Hey guys!

It has been a long while since I visited this thread (or is it called trend?), and today, I felt I should share what has been going on at my end with the hope of encouraging someone.

So, when I started this journey November, I was so excited, and I felt passing IELTS and getting ITA was going to be a breeze until IELTS 'jammed me'.

You have a point. But he has given her permission to continue the process alone. He must have known the consequences of living apart, no? Anyway, this is what makes marriage complicated at times. I can't understand it.

'Singlehood' is so peaceful for decision-making. #teamsingleandhappyandnevereverlonely grin

I have quite radical views @ bolded but I'll be silent on it, let me be culture and religion sensitive here.

johnnybravo1990:
Be also there to advise her when her marriage ends in divorce o. Let’s call a spade a spade. Forget that ‘you can survive in Canada as a single mother’. She may go ahead with the Express Entry process for now, but finally, going to Canada without her husband’s approval and company is simply asking for a divorce. Who in Canada will want to marry a single mother with 3 kids when their father is still alive? Loneliness is real o! There is a kind of loneliness that your kids cannot solve, and that only a partner can quench. So it is a simple but difficult choice — Canada/divorce or continued marriage/love. You must point this to her when you advice: ‘so when your PR comes, will you want to risk your marriage because of Canada if your husband still refuses to agree to only you going?’

Even though I am also in the race to land in Canada, I will always reiterate: Canada is not everything, and everything thing in this life is vanity. In some situations, one needs to weigh their options properly before they decide any action, and they need to be prepared to face the consequences.

@Abti Much has been said about structure by our able guru @johnnybravo1990 and others, now let's focus on grammar. I hope you are not heartbroken by your many mistakes. Pardon me if my corrections were harsh, but I'd rather be harsh with you here than the examiner on your exam scripts. 75k must not waste. To make you feel better, I have put the niceties about your essay in bold in my comments grin

The bolded in your essay are your errors.

PARAGRAPH 1 (Introduction)
"These days", not "this days" (subject+verb agreement rule). But "These days" is an informal adverb, you are writing a formal essay, "Currently", "At present" are good formal substitutes.

"are of little use to us", is too wordy, "irrelevant" is a more concise substitute.

I am not sure if "continuously" is appropriate here, I would have used "continually". But you decide. Read more about the difference here https://www.dailywritingtips.com/continuous-or-continual/

"that" (not "and" ) are constantly flooding... "

"which" or "that" not "who" ("who" always refer to person or humans, never use it for non-humans, things or objects)

"of benefit to us" is too wordy. "beneficial" is a better substitute. Be careful of being too wordy or verbose, else you lose points for cohesion. Your introduction is nice in terms of vocabulary but too wordy, make it more concise.

A little note on structure: Make your introduction stronger by signposting. End the introduction with "In this essay, I will examine why production of waste is on the rise and effective solution by the government to curb this menance" (or "The following paragraphs in this essay will explain..." ). This helps you flow smoothly into your next paragraph and scores you points for coherence. Also the examiner knows what to expect in the coming paragraphs.

PARAGRAPH 2
Sentence 1 is an epic no no!!! First, you repeat the exact first sentence you wrote in the introduction, which gives the examiner the impression that you are seriously struggling for words and you would lose points for vocabulary range. Second, that sentence also repeats the question and is an absolute waste of space. The body paragraph is the substance of your essay, just like the carbohydrate of a meal. This is where you prove to the examiner you know what you are saying. You have only 250 words at least, every sentence must add value to your essay.

Sentence 2: what is the role of the word "civilized" in the context of the sentence, paragraph, essay and ielts question? What exactly do you mean? Avoid ambiguous words, words that have relative meaning. When you use contexual words (although I would strongly advise you avoid them to avoid wordiness), ensure you explain them, rather than assuming the examiner would automatically understand.

Still on sentence 2: The question did not ask you about the consequences of production of waste, which would then makes sense that waste damages our health and well-being. The question asked you about the reasons for the increased production of waste e.g consumerism, ignorance, lack of effective environmental laws, lack of disposal systems in society, greed of manufacturing businesses etc. Thus, you lose points for task achievement. At this point, your examiner is unimpressed and expects less from you in the subsequent paragraphs. The marking of writing is subjective. Your examiner is human and has feelings. Your goal should be to make your examiner happy from the first word of your essay to the last. One of the best ways to do this is to stick to the question. Do not derail.

Sentence 3 would have been a perfect first sentence for that paragraph because it answers the question of why. Packaging of food and drinks in plastic and its subsequent dumping is a reason for increased waste production, very good. Unfortunately, you used it as an example. At this point the examiner is sure that you do not understand English language or you are confused by the question, because you just used a "causal" sentence to exemplify your prior sentence "effect". So you would lose more points for task achievement and coherence. Ensure your examples are appropriate.

PARAGRAPH 3
Use "Furthermore" You have used "firstly" in your first paragraph, using "secondly" would appear as if you are bulleting your points, which is not really sophisticated for an essay (this is my subjective opinion, you can decide otherwise)

Again you repeated "there has been an increase" for the third time. The examiner at this point would assume you have crammed this phrase for your essay and is already preparing his/her mind on your ~~beautiful~~ score grin

I also can't believe you created a paragraph of just two sentences! What? grin

The examiner would assume you are stuck and didn't know what else to write. Don't do this in exams. A paragraph should comprise at least 3 to 5 sentences.

In terms of content, you did a good job. That paragraph answered the question. Wasteful habits of purchasing more than what we need is a good reason for the increased production of waste. But you need to flesh up that paragraph. The question allows you to add your experience. Was there a time you or your children bought too many canned or plastic things from Ikeja City Mall or The Palms (assuming you live in Lagos) and had to throw them away? You can add that. Experiences and examples are great ways of fleshing up your paragraph if you ever get stuck while writing.

PARAGRAPH 4
This is the best paragraph of your essay. Sentence 1 especially answers the second part of the question and has great vocabulary. Sentence 2 is a good example but has a very weak connection to your point in Sentence 1. Note that the example should buttress the laws and policies, not just production. You can make it better by rewriting it this way: "An example is the 2017 directive by the Manufacturing Association of Association (MAN) that orders the side production of paper bags and paper cups for the packaging of food and drinks by companies." (that MAN directive does not exist, but the examiner does not care, it is an appropriate example that suits your point and that is all that matters, I'm not sure if MAN is a government agency, but even your examiner might be as ignorant in that aspect as me grin

and does not care, your essay is not judged for factual or statistical accuracy).

add an 's' to government. Note that the question says "governments". As you write your essay, always refer back to the question from time to time to ensure you are on the right track.

How "clear" can an example be? Can examples be unclear, yes. But have you ever seen any essay that writes "an 'unclear' example is...", no. Because it is assumed that all examples in formal essays should be clear. So delete. Avoid redundant words, you need all the points you can get for cohesion.

PARAGRAPH 5 (Conclusion)
Sentence 1 should be added to paragraph 4 as it is part of the solutions.

Sentence 2 is good as a wrap up.

Your conclusion is a summary and should perform that function. Rewrite the conclusion as "In conclusion, this essay has examined the reasons why there is an incremental production of waste and the measures that can be taken by governments to reduce it. Indeed, the practice of waste reduction should be a joint effort by both governments, manufacturers and the consumers alike, in order to successfully create a healthy environment for all."

Overall, I like your use of transitional words, although it can be improved. Your structure is ok in terms of content. With the exception of paragraph 2, each paragraph contains the right content as demanded by the question, but you need to strengthen them by beefing them up (don't write "beef up" in your essay o, too informal grin

). But your mistakes overall are too many and would have a damaging effect on your score. By the time the examiner is done with your script, you might be lucky to get a 5. But thank God, this is just practice and you can perfect your skills. When you write and edit during your practice, always imagine the examiner is reading your scripts. After every sentence and paragraph, ask yourself, "is this grammatically accurate, logical and coherent"? "Does it answer the question?" etc

In addition to watching Jay's videos as have been recommended by previous responses, spend some time understanding the IELTS writing marking scheme https://www.examenglish.com/IELTS/IELTS_Writing_MarkSchemes.html

This detailed edit took me a little bit over an hour. For each IELTS draft I edit, I lose $35 per hour away from work. While I try to be 'selfless', I need to make the money I will spend in my new country cheesy

So this is why I have turned down (and still turning down) editing many scripts via pm as I work overtime these days. In other words, don't ask me to edit more via pm grin

My conscience just didn't allow me to overlook your essay as I am duty bound (by choice) to respond to help publicly here.

Luckily, @johnnybravo1990 is available for one-on-one coaching and @RHEMA offered to help (I hope I got her monika right). @jjohndoe83 is on honeymoon, I guess but he will provide his service very soon cheesy

All the best in your practice and exams.

Abti:
Please can anyone in the house assist me with an evaluation of my Task 2 essay? I hope this is not much trouble? Thank you.

QUESTION
Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish.
why do you think this is happening?
what can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced?
give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
ANSWER
This days, there has been increasing production of waste products and this calls for concern. Our environment is continuously being polluted by materials that are of little use to us, and are constantly flooding the ocean, interfering with the natural habitat of other organisms who are of benefit to us. There are a lot of reasons why this has been on the rise.

Firstly, there has been an increase in the production of industrial wastes over the past few decades. Although we tend to be more civilized, our actions in terms of the production of materials we use have been damaging to our health and well-being[/color]. For Instance, plastic non-degradable materials are often being used for food and drink packaging and these products are left as refuse dumps over a long period of time, thereby polluting our waterways.

Secondly, [color=#990000]there has been an increase in wasteful habits among consumers and manufacturers alike. We are constantly producing more than we need and consumers purchase more than they require.

In order to reduce the amount of waste being produced, government should impose laws and policies that mandates manufacturers to produce environmentally friendly materials and bio-degradable products for the consumption of all. One ~~clear~~ example is the production of paper bags and paper cups for the packaging of food and drinks. Such materials have been found to decompose easily within the shortest time.

In conclusion, [s]there should be public awareness on the effects of extreme waste production, on the health of individuals and how such practice impact on other living organisms.[/s] In addition, the practice of waste reduction should be a joint effort by both government[b]s[/b], manufacturers and the consumers alike, in order to successfully create a healthy environment for all.

hardycross:
Just as a piece of advice for those of us still in the valley of decision with respect to the ECA body to use and whether to evaluate B.Sc even when you have an M.Sc.

My opinion is that you should look beyond the immediate CRS score and see into your journey in Canada should things go well with your application. Let's try to look into things like licensing with professional bodies. For instance, in my little research, engineers in Alberta need to evaluate their first degree and for this reason, I decided to evaluate my B.Sc along with my M.Sc which would have been unnecessary if all I am bothered with is CRS points. I evaluated both to make it easier for me to ask WES for a reevaluation when the time comes. It might cost a little more, but it is cheaper on the long run.

In summary, take out time to 'plan out' and look beyond the immediate need.

Cheers to a PPR filled week ahead.

With this ginger, you now want to give up eh? God has blessed you with ielts knowledge, don't disappoint Him.

All the best in your upcoming exams

Rence22:
From the lesson I got from Ieltsadvantage, in your writing task, you were given a direct question to answer. First, your introduction should introduce a summary of what you are going to write in your essay. From my example something like this" There has been an increasing production of waste materials and this calls for concern. Manufacturers are trying to cut cost by producing non-degradable materials and hence, the government needs make policies to cub these manufacturers against such productions." In this type of question, Ielts advantage says you should provide a paraphrase of the question and use the first and second questions to answer in the introduction.
The first question WHY DO YOU THINK THIS IS HAPPENING- From the example I wrote- Manufacturers are trying to cut across production cost-( Just giving an introduction to what my second paragraph would be about) and the second- WHAT CAN THE GOVERNMENT DO TO HELP REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF RUBBISH PRODUCED.-My second answer- formulate policies for manufacturers.
Then paragraph two would discuss the WHY and paragraph 3 would discuss government policies and paragraph 4 would conclude.
Got from IELTSADVNTAGE. . He said there is no mark awarded for anything more than 4 paragraphs.
You NEVER discussed anything related to the first question WHY

I didn’t know how to express my joy, but I was really overjoyed. If they had ride a horse in my heart that day, it wouldn’t have stumbled.

We transmitted our passports on 29/04/2019, and just today I got the COPR.
Thank you Jesus for finishing what you started. We won!!! To everyone still in wait for this, my prayer is that God will grant you the tenacity to stay strong even when the going get very tough and you will still win as well.
Please let me add here that two are better than one because they have a better reward for their labor. It wasn’t smooth sailing for me until I got my wife on the same page with me. Couples please unite together to make this dream a reality for your family. God bless!!!
A sincere appreciation goes to everyone who helped us in the course of this journey (My brother in Australia, my sister in-law in Lagos, hmm, I so much disturbed her with IELTS palaver, my dear wife, and to myself for not giving up.
Lastly, pardon my plenty grammatical errors. It took me so long to put this up, but I feel indebted to this great forum that keeps changing lives.
