Trang 1There have been many inventions in human history, such as the wheel Some people think the most important thing is the internet To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
In human history, many inventions were created with the purpose of helping people in daily life, and internet is believed to be the most vital one From my perspective, such a statement is an exaggeration, despite some benefits of the internet
On the one hand, the positive impacts of the internet on human beings lives are indeniable Firstly, internet is a gigiantic library which stores and disseminates knowledge of mankind through many centuries With the advancement of cybercpace, people can access to it freely and widely For example, almost all students in modern world use the internet as an tool to look up information needed for their projects and assignments at schools Secondly, as an important means of communication, the internet enables people to get in touch with others all over the world Removing geographical barriers, now people are connected with each other By using apps,such as: messenger or snap chat, individuals can contact with friends and relatives,
especially who are living far away
On the other hand, although the power of the Internet cannot be overstated, I firmly believe that there are even more valuable inventions The first is electricity, without which many devices and applications cannot function, and internet is not an exception This is obviously a leap forward for mankind when all aspects of life such as production, education, and entertainment are
improved by electricity,from that the quality of life are improved better than before The second
is engines, which are used to power facilities and machines in manufacturing or vehicles This invention boost our life to evlove more, due to it production processes become simpler If there was no engines people might have to use human-powered and animal-powered ones, which would slow down the evolution of human civilization
In conclustion, the internet has some enormous advantages for the human race, but there are more significant discoveries, including electricity and engines I predict that along with the Internet, these three inventions will still be the cornerstones of future humanity

gigiantic · "Gigantic" is a suitable word, but "enormous" or "vast" are
more advanced alternatives that convey a similar meaning of something being extremely large or immense
stores and disseminates · While "stores and disseminates" is
acceptable, "preserves and disseminates" adds a more refined tone to the sentence, highlighting the internet's role in both conserving and distributing knowledge
access to it freely and widely · "Widely" and "extensively" both
indicate a broad range of access, but "extensively" is more advanced and appropriate in this context, emphasizing the abundance of
information available
an tool · The indefinite article "an" should be "a" before the word "tool"
because "tool" starts with a consonant sound
look up information needed for their projects and assignments
at schools · The suggested alternative uses more precise and advanced
vocabulary, avoiding repetition of the word "school" and conveying the idea of obtaining necessary information
an important means of communication · Both expressions are
correct, but "vital communication medium" sounds more sophisticated and better fits the essay's context
Removing geographical barriers, now people are connected with each other · The improved version maintains the same idea but uses
more advanced vocabulary, like "eliminating" and "interconnected," to enhance the essay's overall tone
contact with friends and relatives · "Communicate" is a more
advanced and precise term for interacting with others, including various methods like messaging or video calls
indeniable · The correct spelling of the word is "undeniable," meaning
something that cannot be denied or disputed
cannot be overstated · "Cannot be overstated" and "cannot be
overemphasized" both work, but the latter is more sophisticated and conveys the idea that the importance of the internet cannot be
exaggerated
"inventions" -> "discoveries" (in the concluding paragraph)
Explanation: While "inventions" is suitable, using "discoveries" adds a more advanced and intellectual tone, referring to significant findings or breakthroughs
quality of life are improved better than before · The suggested
alternative uses more precise and advanced language to state that the quality of life has experienced a considerable enhancement
Trang 3boost our life to evlove more · The original phrase is unclear and
awkward
people might have to use human-powered and animal-powered ones · The improved version uses more advanced vocabulary and
succinctly conveys the idea that without engines, human and animal labor would have been the primary sources of power
cornerstones of future humanity · Both "cornerstones" and "pillars"
are suitable, but "pillars" is a more advanced and sophisticated term to describe crucial foundations for the development of human civilization

Sure, let's go through the essay and identify, correct, and explain the
grammar errors:
1) Error: "internet is believed to be the most vital one.
" Correction: "the internet is believed to be the most vital one.
" Explanation: In this case, "the" is needed before "internet" because it
refers to a specific invention ("the internet") Since we are talking about a particular invention, the definite article "the" should be used
2) Error: "On the one hand, the positive impacts of the internet on
human beings lives are indeniable."
Correction: "On the one hand, the positive impacts of the internet on
human beings' lives are undeniable."
Explanation: The possessive form "human beings'" is required to show
that the positive impacts are on the lives of human beings Additionally, the correct spelling of "undeniable" is used
3) Error: "internet is a gigiantic library which stores and disseminates
knowledge of mankind through many centuries."
Correction: "the internet is a gigantic library that stores and
disseminates knowledge of mankind throughout many centuries."
Explanation: Again, we need to include the definite article "the" before
"internet." Also, "gigantic" is spelled correctly, and "throughout" is more appropriate to indicate that knowledge is stored and disseminated over a long period
4) Error: "people can access to it freely and widely."
Correction: "people can access it freely and widely."
Explanation: The word "to" is unnecessary in this context The correct
form is "access it," without the preposition "to."
Trang 45) Error: "For example, almost all students in modern world use the
internet as an tool to look up information needed for their projects and assignments at schools."
Correction: "For example, almost all students in the modern world use
the internet as a tool to look up information needed for their projects and assignments at school."
Explanation: "An" should be changed to "a" before "tool" since "tool"
does not begin with a vowel sound Also, "school" should be in the
singular form because we are referring to the general concept of school, not multiple schools
6) Error: "Removing geographical barriers, now people are connected
with each other."
Correction: "By removing geographical barriers, people are now
connected with each other."
Explanation: The sentence structure needs improvement "By removing
geographical barriers" is a more appropriate introductory phrase, and the adverb "now" should be placed before the verb "are connected" for clarity and flow
7) Error: "By using apps,such as: messenger or snap chat, individuals
can contact with friends and relatives, especially who are living far away."
Correction: "By using apps such as Messenger or Snapchat, individuals
can contact friends and relatives, especially those who are living far
away."
Explanation: Commas should not be used before "such as" in this
context The names of apps should be capitalized, and "who" should be changed to "those" to refer back to "friends and relatives."
8) Error: "although the power of the Internet cannot be overstated, I
firmly believe that there are even more valuable inventions."
Correction: "Although the power of the internet cannot be overstated, I
firmly believe that there are even more valuable inventions."
Explanation: "Internet" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun.
9) Error: "This is obviously a leap forward for mankind when all aspects
of life such as production, education, and entertainment are improved by electricity,from that the quality of life are improved better than before."
Correction: "This is obviously a leap forward for mankind when all
aspects of life, such as production, education, and entertainment, are improved by electricity, and the quality of life is improved better than before."
Trang 5Explanation: A comma is needed to separate the introductory clause
from the main clause Additionally, "and" should be added before "the quality of life," and the verb "is" should agree with the singular subject
"quality of life."
10) Error: "The second is engines, which are used to power facilities and
machines in manufacturing or vehicles."
Correction: "The second is engines, which are used to power facilities
and machines in manufacturing and vehicles."
Explanation: The word "and" is more appropriate than "or" in this
context because engines power both manufacturing machines and
vehicles
11) Error: "This invention boost our life to evlove more, due to it
production processes become simpler."
Correction: "This invention boosts our life to evolve more, due to its
production processes becoming simpler."
Explanation: The verb "boosts" should agree with the singular subject
"invention." "Our life" should be changed to "our lives" to match the plural form, and "evlove" should be corrected to "evolve." Additionally, "due to its production processes becoming simpler" is a more grammatically correct way to express the cause and effect relationship
12) Error: "If there was no engines people might have to use
human-powered and animal-human-powered ones, which would slow down the evolution
of human civilization."
Correction: "If there were no engines, people might have to use
human-powered and animal-human-powered ones, which would slow down the evolution
of human civilization."
Explanation: In conditional sentences, the correct form of the verb "to
be" is "were" for all subjects So, "If there were no engines" is the
appropriate construction Additionally, a comma is needed after "engines"
to separate the conditional clause from the main clause
13) Error: "In conclustion, the internet has some enormous advantages
for the human race, but there are more significant discoveries, including electricity and engines."
Correction: "In conclusion, the internet has some enormous advantages
for the human race, but there are more significant discoveries, including electricity and engines."
Explanation: "Conclusion" is spelled correctly.
14) Error: "I predict that along with the Internet, these three inventions
will still be the cornerstones of future humanity."
Trang 6Correction: "I predict that, along with the internet, these three
inventions will still be the cornerstones of future humanity."
Explanation: A comma is needed to separate the introductory clause
from the main clause
Overall, the essay has been corrected for the grammar errors mentioned above It's essential to pay attention to articles, possessives, verb
agreement, and punctuation to enhance the clarity and correctness of the writing Keep practicing and refining your writing skills to improve your
overall proficiency in English grammar Great job! If you have any further questions or need more clarifications, feel free to ask

In human history, numerous inventions have been created with the aim of facilitating daily life, and the internet is often regarded as the most crucial
Trang 10one However, I believe that such a statement is an exaggeration, despite acknowledging the benefits of the internet
On the one hand, the positive impacts of the internet on human lives are undeniable Firstly, the internet serves as a vast repository of knowledge, disseminating information accumulated over centuries With the
advancements in cyberspace, people now have unrestricted access to this wealth of information For instance, the internet has become an
indispensable tool for students worldwide, allowing them to effortlessly
retrieve information for their projects and assignments Secondly, the
internet serves as a vital means of communication, connecting individuals across the globe By utilizing applications such as Messenger or Snapchat, people can easily stay in touch with friends and relatives, particularly those residing far away
On the other hand, while the internet's power cannot be overstated, I firmly believe that there are even more valuable inventions The first notable
invention is electricity, without which many devices and applications,
including the internet, would cease to function Electricity has undeniably revolutionized various aspects of life, such as production, education, and entertainment, thereby significantly improving the quality of life The second significant invention is engines, which power facilities, machines, and
vehicles This innovation has propelled human progress, as it simplifies
production processes Without engines, humanity would have been reliant on human-powered and animal-powered alternatives, impeding the evolution of civilization
