        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Computers are used in many aspects of our lives from houses to workplaces. Without <span style="background-color: #0000ff">double</span>(doubt), people are becoming dependent on computers.

<p>Nowadays, computers are so popular that they appear in almost (every) field of life. For instance, people use computers in businesses, hospitals, and police stations. In the future, computers will be more effective and intelligent. They may be more important to the houses than nowadays. They can do housework without people' requests.

Using computers helps businesses to be more efficient (repeating of content).

        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Rose2802</p>
<p>Thanks for your great comments on <a href="/?page_id=2722/about-this-forum/technology-has-facilitated-our-lives-so-much-and-given-us-a-lot-of-freedom-some-people-however-believe-that-it-has-caused-more-problems-for-us-what-is-your-opinion-1-1#p1073" target="_blank">Shieiuan’s essay</a>!  As I said above I’m really impressed at the rewrites, and even more so by your ability to find parts of the sentences that are not needed. Well done!</p>
<p>Here are a couple of comments on your essay. I hope others add to them!</p>
<p>Overall the essay is <span style="color: #800000"><strong>clear</strong></span>, with an unusual 5-paragraph layout but <span style="color: #800000"><strong>clear central topics</strong></span> in each. The intro and the conclusion need the most work: The introduction could do with a better thesis sentence, and some sentences in the conclusion need editing. There are quite a few error-free sentences.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Typos</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Without double → without doubt</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Word Choice/Word Form/Usage</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Computers may become advisers<span style="background-color: #ffff00">, w</span>ho people ask opinion<span style="background-color: #ffff00">s b</span>efore doing anything. →
<p>  </p>
<p>Computers may soon advise us on many or most of our actions. <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OR</strong></span></p>
<p>Computers may become advisers who people can ask for opinions. <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OR</strong></span></p>
<p>People may even begin to use them as advisers and ask for their opinions.</p>
<p>   </p>
</li>
<li>Computers are extremely useful to analyze complicated data which workers are hard to handle. →<br />
Computers are extremely useful for analyzing data too complicated for workers to handle. <span style="color: #800000"><strong>OR</strong></span> </p>
<p>Computers can analyze data which workers would find too complicated to handle.</p>
<p> </p>
</li>
<li>Computers are considered as <span style="background-color: #ffff00">a</span> effective <span style="background-color: #ffff00">mean</span> of communication. → For many people, computers are an effective means of communication.
<p>   </p>
</li>
<li>Many opponents indicate that using computers have many bad consequences →
<p>  </p>
<p>Many opponents <span style="color: #800000"><strong>feel/believe/suggest/claim</strong></span> that using computers can have bad <span style="color: #800000"><strong>consequences</strong></span> OR</p>
<p>Many opponents feel/believe/suggest/claim that using computers can have bad consequences</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>This sentence is not parallel, and has two ideas which are not developed.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
For examples, computers make people lazy and <span style="background-color: #ffff00">lack of real communication.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here’s a grammar fix:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
For example, computers make people lazy and <span style="color: #800000"><strong>reduce/affect/prevent/</strong></span> real communication. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>But the ideas are still not developed. Here’s a fuller set of sentences for these ideas</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
For example, computers make people lazy. Instead of doing something active, they slump in front of the computer, turning from page to page. They also prevent real communication.  People chat idly about nothing on Facebook instead of going to meeting their family or friends face to face.</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>From my point of view, these <span style="background-color: #ffff00">aftermaths</span> are from people, and not from computers. → These <span style="color: #800000"><strong>problems</strong></span> are caused by people, and not by computers.</li>
<li>People should be aware about problems of using computers. <span style="background-color: #ffff00">From that</span>, they use computers in the most effective way to better their lives. → In that way/By being aware/By doing this, they will use computers….<strong>
</p>
<p></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Rewording the question</strong></span></p>
<p>I suggest using a different word or at least a different word form to the ones in the question. The word ‘suspicious’ was in the question: I might rewrite your thesis sentence to make it completely clear. I will also link it to the previous sentence.</p>
<p>In this essay I will show that while we benefit in many ways from computers, we also need to be cautious about being over-dependent on them.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Shorten</strong></span></p>
<p>This is <span style="background-color: #ffff00">a 29-word monster</span> with some unnecessary wrods and some reference and usage problems</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Because <span style="background-color: #ffff00">their</span> influence will continue to maximize in the future, <span style="background-color: #ffff00">people</span> should have a view <span style="background-color: #ffff00">to</span> computers in both <span style="color: #000000;background-color: #ffff00">negative and positive sides</span> in order to effectively use them. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Here's a possible rewrite:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Because computers will be even more influential in the future, people should be aware of their negatives.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #800000"><strong>Ideas, examples, supporting information</strong></span></p>
<p>You wrote:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
Nowadays, computers are so <span style="text-decoration: line-through">popular that they appear in almost fields of life</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is this a logical sentence? Which came first -  the popularity or the computers, or the fact that they appeared everywhere? Sometimes it’s best to just drop an idea quietly and pick a better one than to spend time trying to fix it. Here’s one possible replacement</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
 Nowadays, computers can be found almost everywhere.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Your example of the police station is a little unusual!  </p>
<blockquote>
<p>
People use computers in businesses, hospitals, and police station.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’s true, certainly! But what about power stations, airplanes, the internet, banks, mobile phones, cars, tablets, offices, factories, shops, warehouses, or restaurants?  I thought we were going to get an example from the police, perhaps for fingerprint analysis or online databases of offenders. I’m glad you gave three examples, but perhaps a more mainstream or general one might have been better. Or you could be even more general:</p>
<ul>
<li>People use computers at home, at work, and in their free time. OR</li>
<li>Computers control and manage our money, our utilities, our transport networks, our entertainment, and even many aspects of our homes.</li>
</ul>
