You can highlight text, make notes on selected text.But what if someone like to highlight, circle the text or keywords in questions. I think there are many FAQs for computer delivered test, and a person who has given it in past can answer.
I agree it wont be as fast as on a paper with a pencil. But the main advantage would be in writing, I suppose, where you can edit and plan easily, and the best part is. it's editor seems to has the word count at the bottom. Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development.
It is true that nations are becoming more and more similar. There could be main reasons behind this such as globalization, social networking sites and many more. Despite many similarities, there are many differences as well. In my opinion, its all depend on the conditions that persist within a country which brings in lot of differences and no two countries cannot be same in each and every aspect.
Intriguingly, the male fashion trends are almost similar all over the world. Mostly, we see almost in every country men would be wearing trousers and apparels as formal wear. Even the casual wear is also the same except a few variances in colors and writings. However, there are variety of options for women within same country. For instance, one can witness majority of women wearing sarees in South India and western wear across North India. So, if the fashion products of same brand are available globally, they have to be accustomed according to the region. Only few items could be sold everywhere without much problem as explained in above example in which based on gender how clothing varied accordingly.
Moreover, the climatic conditions also play a critical role in selling products. Countries which are on the ples have freezing temperatures and due to this the food habits vary greatly when compared with countries having tropical climate. In Asia, most of the people love eating spicy food and there would be always a great demand for this type of delicacies. Contrastingly, people living in cold countries cannot include spices in their regular food, as this will bloat their stomach. By this we can conclude that even weather decides the type of product to be sold within country.
In conclusion, I totally agree that products have become handy for everyone nonetheless of the region. But, external factors such as weather, culture and so on will also play a deciding factor in choosing them.

I was just reading and more reading in quest to find out why we are stuck at 6.5, Well it is very obvious, and simple answer for that is, we write complete shit, In England, they prepare this test and checking criteria to very specific set rules. They are looking for specific things, give them, you will get bands, otherwise you will be stuck. Although, there are doubts around competency of examiners, still we write shit.
We think and write in a way which they are not looking for.
Let us rip it, in more strict way than ever before.
2S : "There could be main reasons behind this" wrong phrasing.
rewrite : There are various reasons for this phenomenon/process/situation such as .....
Or : There could be myriad of reasons for this phenomenon/process/situation , some of them are ......
Or : There are uncountable reasons for this phenomenon/process/situation, some of them are ....
Or : Although, there are various known or unknown reasons for this phenomenon/process/situation, some of them could be .....
problem was word "main" usually refers to one, better word for this is "prominent/significant/ reason".
3S : fine.
4S : "it is all depend on the conditions that persist within a country which brings in lot of differences and no two countries cannot be same in each and every aspect"
totally wrong phrasing. you would get no more than 6.5. believe me. I write like that and it is shit.
I can debate/discuss/argument on this line forever, I am extremely frustrated right now, since there's word limitation, I will stick to the point.
"condition" word for country is wrong.
"It" used for what ??? I can't find that. similarities or differences ???
rewrite: In my opinion, differences result from unique cultural, social and traditional values in practice from hundred of years in a particular country, even if two countries speak the same language these things would still be different.
funny thing is,
In my opinion, its all depend on the conditions that persist within a car which brings in lot of differences and no two cars cannot be same in each and every aspect
In my opinion, its all depend on the conditions that persist within a home which brings in lot of differences and no two homes cannot be same in each and every aspect
In my opinion, its all depend on the conditions that persist within a street which brings in lot of differences and no two streets cannot be same in each and every aspect
I can go on..... you can fit some critical body parts, such as penis, vagina etc, in that and It will sound damn funny. NOTE: just for learning purposes LOL.
do you see the fucking problem, mate ??? It's called total bullshit stuff.
Overall, your introduction is totally bullshit for that topic, you failed to process the prompt.
Let's us have a cool conversation with our friend called "prompt"
prompt said : Countries are becoming more and more similar
I said, hmm okay, why is that ??
prompt said : because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world
I said, ohh because they are buying same stuff, it means they are buying same levis jeans, gucci bags, Nike, Reebok around the world, and consuming same KFC, MacDonald, Starbucks shit around the world,
I said, ohh you mean there is no uniqueness left in the world.
prompt replied, "Yea Mannn!!, damnn you are smart!!!"
prompt said : "Now, let me ask you a question":
I said , "hmmm, why not!'
prompt said : Do you think this is a positive or negative development
I said ," I feel that's bad in various ways."
prompt said : " then write your arguments for this answer with examples, reasons, and don't forget to develop your idea fully. otherwise I am gonna fuck you around with 6 or 6.5 bands"
"ohh also don't forget to write it within 40 minutes, add cohesive devices, various types of tenses, rare words, different types of sentence structures, maintain a clear tone, stick to the main topic, digressing is a criminal offense here, finally no less than 250 words okay"
'' ohh there's more, which I won't tell you because crappy humans will check your essay, they have full authority to do whatever they want... you know what I mean"
"Best of luck and see you in NEXT TEST, Cuz I know you won't be that lucky....."
"and you can not use my words in your essay, use your own."
You failed to mention, buying, similarities because of that, your opinion about similarities which result from buying same stuff.
As a reader, I don't know what are you talking about.
Question is, Is this positive or negative trend.
which one are you supporting in this paragraph ??? I simply cannot see it
otherwise, language is good, examples are there, explanations are good.
what ? OMG , Read it yourself, I don't have to explain a bit.
again, conclusion failed to address the topic.
nobody can tell you about bands for this, all depend on examiner's discretion.
========================================================================
Once you start slipping from the topic, it became slippery slope situation, there is no comeback from this...
otherwise, your writing capability is good, you made clear efforts to give reason, example, explanation, conclusions. There are obvious errors of punctuation errors, word choice, sentence formation etc.
don't make statements like this one
"people living in cold countries cannot include spices in their regular food, as this will bloat their stomach"
without explaining why that is so.
We think and write in a way which they are not looking for.

@H0peAndFa1th u said they have a specific set rules to check essay. What are they looking for? Last time when I gave IELTS I scored 6.5 in writing. To be honest I didn't expect to get 6.5 I thought I would get 6 maximum. And I still don't remember what I wrote. I didn't use any high scoring vocabulary for sure. I worte it in simple basic English.
Glad you asked that, I mentioned in this same thread that, there is virtually no difference in 6 and 6.5 bands. Believe it or not, there is no difference.
Actually, very bad essays get below 6, e.g. Bad task response, lots of grammar errors etc.
Now getting 7 is a complete different story, you must read this entire thread post by post to get the hold of it. But we are still discovering...
write an essay in 40 minutes on paper, then write it on computer, exact same, post it here, I will try to find problems.
for quick reference see this review, See this guy messed it up!!

I would love to answer all your questions, but read first and post your essay.
Hi, i
Hi, how do we approach to such kind of essay questions: discuss both the views and give your opinion? please explain to me...thank you
Introduction
discuss first view,
then second or opposite,
then give your own opinion,
then conclusion,
you can give your opinion in conclusion paragraph or make a different paragraph.
now content of paragraph, few formats could be:
----
P1 : fully against the view
P2 : fully advocate the opposite view
----
P1 : agree a little, then present drawbacks or shortcomings
P2 : fully advocate the opposite view
----
P1 : agree a little, then present drawbacks or shortcomings of this view
P2 : agree a little, then present drawbacks or shortcomings of this view
give new solution in your own opinion
----
what to include in paragraph is crucial.
This kind of question is actually a blessing because they ask to what extent do you agree. You could agree less, you could agree completely, or you could take a balanced view. So depending upon your views you can form the paras
At the end of task 2. I think I counted 248 words only.. I’m screwed.. need a 3rd attempt to improve writing

Crime rate among teenagers is increasing all over the world. What are the causes and solutions behind it?
Youngsters are the future leaders of our generations. With that being said, in every part of the world, the frequency of offenses among them is rising. This essay will discuss the reasons behind this phenomenon and will provide possible solutions.
One of the main factors in this upsurge is the access teens have to violence related entertainments which are available in Televisions, video games, and mobile phones. These expose our children to hate and crime, and since they are too immature to know what is right from the wrong, they would imitate these actions. A prime example is the Grand Theft Auto series, a video game, which allows the gamers to commit unimaginable acts like rape, murder, and theft. Another factor is the lack of physical discipline by the parents. In the older times, the guardians would physically punish misbehaved children. However, nowadays, since restrictions are imposed by Child Services with the support of all the governments in the world, this disallows any harmful punishments on the kids’ bodies, parents have to resort to discussions and reasoning with the under-aged. Hence, this creates no fear for the youngsters and the freedom to do what they like.
Luckily there are ways to reduce juvenile crimes, and one of them is parents must control fully what their children do or watch in their leisure times. Because this will ensure they do not have to access contents beyond their ages, the elders will guide them to safe entertainments. In addition, the governments must revisit their policies on child services and they must loosen these rules by allowing some physical punishments on the youngsters by their fathers and mothers. To illustrate, this means using soft elements such as a belt to discipline them. Unless this is provided by the governments, teens all around the world will continue to transgress.
In conclusion, although wrongdoing by the youths of this world is surging exponentially, there are measures which can be taken to lower it. Before this gets out of hand, we must act upon to implement these solutions.
