Academic Discussion_Cloning
This is a challenging topic, but I think that the problem of identity is the most debatable and significant.
I strongly agree with David's idea that a cloned child might face comparisons to the donor [k2: unclear reference / missing logical clarification + k3: unnatural collocation] constant comparisons with the genetic donor. [k5: syntax – run-on sentence] I would like to add that it may cause a psychological problems [k4: wrong article + k4: incorrect number form] psychological problems while others wait [k3: inaccurate word choice] expect the same behaviour and apply the same way [k3: unclear / unnatural phrasing + k2: missing logical element] treat the child in the same way.
For example, it is so difficult [k1: style/register — too emotional for academic discussion] extremely difficult to bear even than [k4: incorrect conjunction] when your boyfriend apply as for [k4: subject-verb agreement + k3: unnatural collocation] treats you as he treated the previous girlfriend and in this case everyone would do [k2: unclear logic / incomplete idea] , and a cloned child might experience a similar kind of pressure.
While /Although Mina raised the relevant point that cloning will help infertile people to became [k4: wrong verb form] become parents, [k5: punctuation] but [k4: incorrect conjunction] the fact remains that the child of such parents will also be unfertile [k3: inaccurate word choice] infertile because they are the same organism. [k2: factual/logical problem — a cloned child would not necessarily be infertile simply because they share genetic material with the donor] //While Mina’s point about cloning helping infertile people is relevant, it does not eliminate the potential psychological risks for the child.
Some people may feel that died [k3: inaccurate word choice] a deceased parent or relative will continue to live, [k5: punctuation] but this position also can [k4: unnatural word order] can also damage the psychological balance [k3: unnatural collocation] a child's psychological well-being.
1. Development & Task Response — 3/5
The position is clear (identity problem is the most important).
You engage with both David and Mina, which is required.
However:
Arguments are underdeveloped
One example (boyfriend comparison) is unclear and weakly linked
There is a factual/logical issue (clones being infertile)
2. Organization & Coherence — 2–3/5
Basic structure is present
But:
Run-on sentence early on
Weak transitions (“While… but…” conflict)
Some ideas are hard to follow or incomplete
Logical flow is uneven → clear k2 issues
3. Language Use — 2–3/5
Frequent problems with:
collocations (apply the same way, psychological balance)
word choice (wait instead of expect, died parent)
article usage
Vocabulary range is moderate but not precise enough
4. Grammar & Accuracy — 2/5
Many noticeable errors:
verb forms (became, persuade type issues)
agreement (a psychological problems)
sentence structure (run-ons, fragments)
Errors do not fully block meaning, but they reduce clarity significantly

Global warming is at the center of attention on almost every TV channel nowadays, but do we really take it seriously? As for me, I'm not fully informed, but I try to keep track on [k4: wrong preposition] of the main consequences that have already begun to appear.
This has become particularly evident when I look at seasonal changes. For instance, I believed that the seasons should follow one another like chapters in a book, always coming in the same order, but the last few years have disrupted this natural pattern. //This has become particularly evident in seasonal changes: I used to believe that the seasons followed one another like chapters in a book, always arriving in the same order, but recent years have disrupted this natural rhythm.
The winter has become winters has have become [k4: wrong verb form / speech self-correction] winters have become harsher, these temperatures dropping [k3: inaccurate word choice + k2: missing logical element] with temperatures dropping to -30 degrees Celsius, and then spring seems to vanish altogether.
Summers are cold, and heavy tropical rains break out unexpectedly. These changes happened gradually at first and then all at once.
Moreover, my favorite season, spring, has become a cold snowy period between harsh winter [k4: wrong article] a harsh winter and unbearable summer [k4: wrong article] an unbearable summer. Every year I used to wait for flowers to bloom, but now they barely emerge because snow can suddenly fall again. //Spring, which used to be my favorite season, has turned into a cold, snowy interval between a harsh winter and an unbearable summer.
Ultimately, global warming is no longer just a distant news story; it has become a tangible reality that has stolen my favorite season and changed the rhythm of our lives. It has become a tangible [k3: repetition / speech self-correction] This personal experience has transformed me from a passive observer into someone who now actively seeks solutions.
2. If global temperature rise [k4: subject-verb agreement] rises by 2 degrees Celsius, the chances of avoiding a 3-degree increase are slim. The buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere adds to the global warming [k4: wrong article] global warming. According to scientists, a 2-degree rise will kill off 40% of the Amazon rainforest.
1. Huge amounts of carbon are stored in the soil, around double the amount is [k2: missing logical element] that is already in the atmosphere. At 3 degrees, plants stop absorbing CO2. If the excess of carbon [k3: unnatural collocation] carbon in the atmosphere raises the temperature by 1.5°C, the planet will be dipped into [k3: inaccurate word choice] pushed into runaway global warming.
2. In this future, hurricanes are much stronger and cities in Asia, Australia and the southeastern United States face destruction. grain [k5: capitalization ignored as transcription, but word should be capitalized in writing] Grain yields decline by 10% for every degree above 30°C. Low-lying areas suffer from floods, and the Netherlands are [k4: subject-verb agreement with country name] is torn apart by the North Sea.
3. To be honest, I would say that I'm generally familiar with the idea of cloning animals and cell cloning, but my knowledge is rather basic than in-depth [k3: unnatural comparative structure] basic rather than in-depth. I try to keep up with scientific developments, so I have heard about cloning in the news and educational materials.
3. As far as I know, these technologies are considered an important biotechnological innovation and are widely used in medicine and in research [k3: minor repetition] research. However, I'm still on the fence about many details because the jury is still out on how safe and effective these methods are in long term [k4: wrong article] in the long term.
4. Some sees [k4: subject-verb agreement] see a breakthrough that could help medicine, while others find it disturbing or unnatural.
4. On the one hand, I see cloning as a scientific breakthrough with huge medical potential. On the other hand, it raises ethical concerns and I sometimes feel uneasy about it. It seems to me that this technology is a double-edged sword. What worries me most is that it could cross a moral line. So I believe they need a strike balance [k4: wrong verb pattern + k2: unclear reference] we need to strike a balance between innovation and responsibility.
5. I support this only if it were [k4: wrong tense in real condition] is used as a last resort. The main issue is that cloning alone cannot ensure genetic diversity. Rather than relying only on cloning, they [k2: unclear reference] governments and conservationists should focus on habitat protection. At the same time, cloning could help restore a population in critical situations. However, we need to look at the bigger picture.
6. In my view, this should be allowed provided that there is strict regulation. The reason I say this is it has [k2: missing logical connector] that therapeutic cloning has great potential in regenerative medicine. At the same time, governments must prevent misuse because it could open the door to human cloning. Without control, it might become a slippery slope.
7. I would argue that control over cloning should be shared among scientists, governments, and international organizations. Neither scientists nor governments should have full control. The safest approach would be to combine scientific expertise and public accountability. This would create checks and balances and help set boundaries. It would also be important that all participants are on the same page.
8. To be honest, I usually check the label. I tend to pay attention to the ingredient list and active ingredients. This is mainly because some substances can be potential irritants. I prefer to play it safe, better safe than sorry [k3: idiom inserted awkwardly] as it is better to be safe than sorry.
9. Although expensive products often have a strong brand reputation, I would not say that price always reflects quality. What matters more to me is value for money. I usually compare products before buying, [k2: missing logical connector] because I try not to judge a book by its cover.
10. Office [k3: inaccurate word choice / transcription error] The officer / The presenter / The expert says these words can be misleading because all products contain chemicals.
I'm rather skeptical of labels like natural or chemical free [k5: spelling convention / compound adjective] chemical-free. The problem is that all substances are chemical [k4: incorrect number form] chemicals. Such labels can be misleading and act as a red flag. I prefer to read between the lines and make evidence-based choices.
In my view, strict regulation is justified if there are health risks. This should make it easier for consumers to understand dangers. At the very least, companies should provide transparent labeling. They should err on the side of caution.
11. From an environmental perspective, companies should reduce plastic packaging. They should also use biodegradable ingredients. Consumers should choose eco-friendly options. In the long run, this could reduce water pollution.
12. If it were safe and legal, I would prefer conventional reproduction or adoption because, as for me [k1: style/register — unnatural in formal speaking] in my view, personal autonomy is important.
I suppose that cloning can stigmatizate annormal attention for these persons [k2: unclear logic + k3: unnatural phrasing] stigmatize such people / lead to unhealthy expectations placed on cloned people, who would be suspected to behave like the like the previous person did the same DNA [k2: unclear logic + k3: unnatural phrasing] of behaving like the person whose DNA they share.
Even adoption have [k4: subject-verb agreement] has benefits because of genetic diversity, which is also important. On a balance [k3: unnatural collocation] balance, I suppose that human cloning can became [k4: wrong verb form] become a slippery slope and stigmatize the preference of [k4: wrong preposition] for ideal DNA and ideal human [k4: wrong article / number form] ideal humans.
Everybody would prefer such children instead of genetic parentage and genetic diversity. [k2: unclear logic / overgeneralisation] This could make society value genetically “designed” children more than natural genetic diversity.
13. I would prioritize therapeutic cloning provided that it's regulated. //I would prioritize therapeutic cloning provided that it is strictly regulated.
It can create, if it can be possible to create [k3: repetition / self-correction + k2: weak cohesion] If it becomes possible to create patient-matched tissues, it can reduce reduction of the organs [k2: missing logical element + k3: inaccurate word choice] the risk of organ rejection. //If scientists manage to create patient-matched tissues, this could significantly reduce the risk of organ rejection.
In the days of organ shortage, it can be really important for allocation of scarce resources [k3: imprecise wording] saving patients’ lives and to find a way to help people who couldn't, don't have time for weighting their organs [k2: unclear logic + k3: inaccurate phrasing] cannot afford to wait for donor organs. //Given the shortage of donor organs, this technology could help patients who cannot wait long enough for a transplant.
So, if ethical concerns can be solved, it will be a risk-benefit trade-off and also help people [k2: unclear logic / incomplete phrasing] therapeutic cloning may offer a favourable risk-benefit trade-off and help patients who need matched tissuesreasonable balance between risks and benefits and also help people. //Therefore, if ethical concerns are addressed, therapeutic cloning could become a reasonable balance between medical benefits and potential risks.
But, however, [k3: redundant linking] However, donation programs should still continue to be [k2: missing logical element + k3: unnatural phrasing] continue to operate. //However, traditional organ donation programs should still continue to operate alongside therapeutic cloning technologies.
14. I would invest in habitat restoration and anti-poaching efforts. These can protect ecosystems and also prevent population bottleneck [k4: wrong number form] population bottlenecks. //These measures can protect ecosystems and help prevent population bottlenecks.
But cloning of selected animal species can have unintended consequences because it prevents genetic diversity [k2: inaccurate logic] may reduce genetic diversity and we could never know what the last long terms can be can be expected [k2: unclear logic + k3: inaccurate phrasing + k3: repetition/self-correction] long-term consequences can be expected. //Cloning selected species may have unintended consequences because it could reduce genetic diversity, and the long-term effects are still uncertain.
So, for example, without safe, saving habitats [k2: missing logical element + k3: inaccurate phrasing] without safe and stable habitats, animals cannot even survive. //Without safe and stable habitats, endangered animals would not be able to survive even if their populations were artificially restored.
So, we should improve anti-poaching enforcement, first of all. //Therefore, anti-poaching enforcement and habitat restoration should remain the main priorities.

Subject: Issue with AI Robo Pet and Request for Repair Options
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to report an issue with the robo-pet which I purchased more than a year ago, and now it has started to malfunction [k2: illogical sentence structure — the relative clause should finish after “ago”; start a new sentence for the malfunction] . It has now started to malfunction. It is failing to respond to commands and moves erratically. //I am writing to report an issue with the robo-pet that I purchased more than a year ago. It has recently started to malfunction: it fails to respond to commands and moves erratically.
I understand that the warranty period has expired; however, I want to clarify whether your company possible to maintain or repair it [k2: missing logical element + k4: missing verb] can service or repair it. //Although the warranty period has expired, I would like to clarify whether your company can still service or repair the device.
Could you please let me know what steps I should take to have the device repaired and, whether repair is possible [k2: illogical structure — this idea should introduce a condition for the following request] in case repair is possible, let me know the estimated cost and repair time?, let me know[k3: This phrase has already been used in the beginning of the sentence] cost and time of it [k3: unnatural phrasing] what the estimated cost and repair time should be? //Could you please let me know what steps I should take to have the device repaired and, if repair is possible, and what the estimated cost and repair time would be?
I look forward to your response.
King [k5: wrong spelling] Kind regards,

From my perspective, it is highly debatable topic [k4: wrong article] a highly debatable topic nowadays. AI tools in study [k3: inaccurate word choice] education can be used as a crutch and help a lot [k1: style/register — too colloquial and vague for academic writing] provide substantial support, but in someway [k5: wrong spelling] in some ways it replace [k4: subject-verb agreement] replaces thinking process [k4: wrong article] the thinking process and ruins studying itself [k1: style/register — too emotional and absolute] may weaken genuine learning. //From my perspective, the use of AI in education is highly debatable: while it can support students, it may also weaken independent thinking if used as a crutch.//AI tools can provide substantial academic support, but they may also weaken independent thinking if students rely on them too heavily.
As Luise [k2: missing logical element] Like Louise, I use AI as a starting point which helps me contribute my work process [k3: unnatural collocation] organise my work process and to find [k4: lack of parallel structure after “helps me”] find more information for [k4: wrong preposition] on the topic; also, it helps with spell-checking, with [k4: incorrect pronoun / conjunction] which really saves time. //Like Louise, I use AI as a starting point: it helps me organise my ideas, find additional information on a topic, and check spelling, which saves time.
Lucas and other opponents of AI tools argue that it just substitute [k4: subject-verb agreement] substitutes the learning process. They say it may gives [k4: wrong verb form] give wrong output and prevent student thinking himself [k2: missing logical element + k3: unnatural phrasing] students from thinking independently. //Lucas and other opponents argue that AI may replace genuine learning by producing inaccurate answers and discouraging students from thinking independently.
This idea is really popular, but do we really start thinking less because of AI? I suppose, on the opposite site [k3: inaccurate phrase] on the contrary,it rather [k3: inaccurate word choice / misplaced intensifier] gives us more information which we analyze, but I agree with him university to set guidelines [k2: missing logical element + k4: incorrect verb pattern] that universities should set guidelines for AI usage. //On the contrary, I believe that AI can give students more information to analyse, but I agree with Lucas that universities should set clear guidelines for its use.
