These days, children spend more time on doing homework or participating in organized activities related to school or sports. However, they should be given more time to do whatever they want.

Score: 50.1

Issues:

1. About 35% of the sentences exceed 20 words. Most of them are unnecessarily lengthy. Simplify or split them.
2. About 20% of the sentences are passive; convert them into their active counterparts. In consideration of sentence coherence, the subject of a sentence better echoes the subject, or the object, of the prior sentence. The subject of a passive sentence, however, often fails to do so, which severely damages the logical flow between sentences.

[input an “indent” when beginning each paragraph]As our burgeoning education industry grows by leaps and bounds, education [form error] institutions and parents are setting numerous rigid regulations for children to meet, aiming for equipping our next generation with competitive edges.

The earlier [missing some connecting words] to allow them to make their own decision, the easier [subject required] for them to develop independence.

When I was in primary school, my mother signed me up for painting club, school chess, and a bunch [replace “bunch” with a formal word] of extra courses. But [A sentence should never start with “But”] she never forgot to empty the whole Sunday afternoon so that I could manage my own time.

Nourished from the aforementioned experience, I grow the habit of determining my own schedule and learn to be independent [This sentence shows two types of tenses. Either choose past or present].

[indent needed]Some people may argue that doing homework and participating in school-related activities make it possible for the youngsters to embrace the most promising future, but isn’t [avoid contractions in formal writing] it too early for our kids to step on the perfectly right track and live a perfectly planned life?

[indent needed]In conclusion, although [“although” makes it sound unsure, try removing the word] homework and school-related activities have an impact on the kid’s growth, [one sentence outlining the thesis or your point, remove punctuation] leaving them [fix tense and add “this” or state the problem] with spare time to explore their interests can benefit our next generation in the long run. [make the conclusion statement a bit longer. Conclusion statements should cover a thesis statement and brief explanation of the point mentioned above].

Besides, parents allowing children to explore their interests helps them learn how to manage their own life. The earlier the parents allowing kids to make their own decision, the easier the children grow independently. My personal is a good example.

Nevertheless, she never forgot to empty the whole Sunday afternoon so that I could manage my own time. I usually divided it into two parts – reading and playing games. Nourishing from the aforementioned experience, I grow the habit of determining my own schedule and learn to be independent.

Some people may argue that doing homework and participating in school-related activities make it possible for the youngsters to embrace the most promising future, but is not it too early for our kids to step on the perfectly right track and live a perfectly planned life?
