    Nowadays, working from home has become a popular working style. [ logical disconnection from the prior sentence ]The last few decades witnessed the increasing proportion of workers who are [grammatical error  ]liable to work from home instead of working at the office. However, what are the pros and cons of working from home? In this essay, I will discuss both the advantages and disadvantages of this question.

    One of the major positives of working from home is [grammatical error  ]it saves people`s time from daily shuttling between home and the workplace. In some tier-one cities in China, people usually spend two to three hours on their way to work with another two to three hours needed when they get off work [ wordy/unclear ]. Working from home to saves this meaningless time wasted on the road [grammatical error  ]. In addition, working from home puts [ wrong word ]people under a casual and relaxing working environment without competing [wrong word  ] and noisy atmosphere, [ punctuation error ]workers could follow their own pace and tend to increase their productivity.

    On the other hand, working from home means an ambiguous boundary between people`s work and their personal life. Many things in their private life, such as naughty pets would be distractions [ grammatical error ]. As a result, people may become hard [  wrong word] to focus on their tasks and easily fall out of the schedule. Besides, studies proposed recently reveal that people who work from home are more easily be exploited by employers.

    To sum up, working from home has both merits and demerits. It [unclear pronoun  ] saves people`s time from daily shuttling [repetition  ]while exposing workers to exploitation. Personally speaking, the negatives of working from home outweigh the positives. Working at the office fits me more and helps me maintain a good work-life balance.

    1. Nearly 40% of the sentences exceed 20 words. Shorten/split them.

    A second language is a compulsory course in many countries [ wrong word]; however, experts [ wrong word]are not sure whether this subject [ wrong word] should be set up in primary school or in secondary school. I believe that the former arrangement benefits children more.

    Children in [wrong preposition ] their early age pick up languages much more effortlessly than teenagers. Most linguists believe there is a critical period for children to acquire language. At [wrong preposition ]that time, young children are likely to receive input from unfamiliar things [logical confusion ], such as foreign reading material or recordings [ logical confusion]. Due to this trait [wrong word ], people can master another language quickly. A person, on the contrary, [displacement ]who has missed out on this vital chance may have difficulty in learning languages. For example, they may fail to understand grammar, remember vocabulary or imitate the accent of native speakers

    Another advantage is that children can allocate more time and energy for [wrong preposition ] learning languages in primary school. This is because the secondary school curriculum is tighter than that of primary school. Children hence need to absorb tremendous knowledge, [punctuation error ]as soon as they enter secondary school, and they may sacrifice their language learning time. For instance, Chinese students [absolute writing ] have to spend a massive amount of time to study new subjects, [punctuation error ]such as physics, chemistry and biology. In this case, their exposure to foreign languages may become insufficient, a factor which [ wrong pronoun] may lead to [article error ]failure to acquire a new language.

    In conclusion, I am convinced that young children’s innate abilities should be harnessed, and anything that contributes to language learning should be encouraged.

    There is a public discussion nowadays about whether the ability to maintain friendships with a small number of people for a long time is more important for happiness than the ability to make many new friends (rephrase wording for the prompt). From (In) my perspective (opinion), the ability to sustain friendships is more significant (adjective error – “important” is better here).

    Undoubtedly, the ability to make new friends can bring us different kinds of friends (give more detail – what are different kinds of friends?). Our life can be more colorful and full of happiness (add more to this sentence – why?). Just imagine that wherever we go, we can always find several companies (companions) go with us; (change to comma) (and) whoever we meet, we can chat for a while. We are (verb tense error “It would be unlikely that we are alone”) unlikely to be alone because we have plenty of friends, (delete comma and add “and”) new friends.

    However, if we lay (put) too much stress on the ability to make new friends and ignore the importance to (of) maintain(ing) friendships, it’s (it is) easy to lose them (be more specific, “old friendships”) too. Without deep (adjective error) friends, no one can understand our unspeakable sadness. On the contrary, having got on well for a long time, we can get a good understanding of each other (rephrase/restructure sentence). Not exaggeratedly, (delete) even though a simple facial expression, we can get (convey) the (delete) meaning from (to) each other swiftly. When we have some (delete) difficulties (problems) which are hard to say out (loud) or understand, our old friends will always support and believe us.

    Furthermore, it’s (it is) more likely to know a man (person) truly and comprehensively after getting on with him (them) for long (a long time). When we make a new friend, he (they) might conceal some shortcomings and pretend to be perfect in front of us. As a result, we can (will) never know what kind of friend (they are) is as well as what exactly our new friend is thinking. However, as (with) an old friend, we know each other’s weakness, like and dislike (plural). So communication can be relaxing and enjoyable because we can deliberately avoid the (delete) unpleasant topics and change to the (a) theme we are both interested in.

    It is no doubt that (simplify to “Undoubtedly,”) homework helps parents to cooperate with teachers (to do what? – add detail). This may mislead some parents to claim that doing schoolwork together is the best way to accompany (choose different verb) their children. However, such a statement suffers from both logical and factual fallacies. In my opinion, it is more meaningful to play games or sports with children (why? include more detail and reasoning).

    Nowadays, children have a heavy load of study stuff (rephrase – for example “have demanding study schedules”). Every day at school, they have to spend at least eight hours attending classes, preparing for exams and so forth (delete – unnecessary). Just (In) my speculation, in China, nearly ninety percent of youngsters (students) complain about their study stress; and some of them even have rebel psychology (become rebellious). After school, if parents are going to supervise (their) children (after school) as teachers do, their children will be(come) more stressed out. Besides, (choose different transition phrase) some (most) parents may (are) not be professional(ly) enough (trained) to help children with their homework. Parents, comparing (verb tense error) with (preposition error) tutors, have less patience or (and) methodologies to teach students. As a result, it may not be efficient to study together.

    Thus, what parents have to (should) do is relaxing and encouraging (verb tense error) their children. To achieve that, playing sports and games is a good choice (reorder sentence). On the (delete) one side (hand), such activities can give children a little (change to “much-needed”) break. Likewise, parents can shortly escape from working (work) and gain happiness (awkward, rephrase) with (their) family. On the other side (hand), children are able to hone multiple skills from (by playing) sports games (delete). For example, playing football teaches students how to cooperate with others, because they need to work together to achieve a short pass or a long pass (their goals). What is more (Furthermore), sports may (delete) cultivate a sense of responsibility, which is crucial to children’s future development.

    I have to admit (insert comma) doing homework is beneficial to review what has been learned and prepare for the new (awkward, rephrase). However, taking a short break hardly can (will) hurt their study performance. In contrast, after taking a break, children would (verb tense error) gain higher study efficiency in doing homework (study skills).

    To sum up (In summary), not only for (because students will) achieving higher efficiency but for (and) gaining multiple skills and relaxing (change verb tense), I favor (believe) that parents should spend their spare time playing with (their) children.
