Essay Correction 4 (Future Health)





The standards of people's health will be lower in the coming future than it is now. To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Introduction (Original)

By the advent of globalization and modernization people's health  standards are changed a lot and will make great impacts in future also. Eventhough, there are many new strategies to promote the physical and mental wellbeing of humanity, the health standards of people are worsend day by day owing to many factors like sedentary life style and unhealthy practices.

(Please study these corrections and never repeat them)

·         By the advent (preposition): ‘with the advent’ is better
·         Health standards are changed (grammar error): health standards have changed. (This is a very common grammatical error that you make. Please be very careful.)
·         A lot (wrong register (informal expression)): Other words that can be used are ‘a great deal’, ‘greatly’, ‘enormously’, ‘substantially’ (‘A lot’ is not very informal, but ‘semi formal’. Since there are many other options, please use them.  Another informal usage is ‘plenty of’.)
·         Make a great impact (wrong collocation): have a great impact
·         Also: (inappropriate vocabulary): Do not use ‘also’ in the end. ‘Too’ and ‘as well’ are more appropriate.
·         Mental (wrong vocabulary): ‘psychological’ is a better usage here because mental may sometimes mean, ‘psychiatric’.
·         Are worsened (grammar error): have worsened (since you have used ‘day by day’ it should be ‘are worsening’.)
