Task Response
The essay addresses the causes and potential solutions to the issue of young people leaving the countryside for cities. It acknowledges the problems caused by this issue and offers suggestions for solving the situation. However, the essay needs to provide a more balanced discussion of both the problems and the solutions. It seems more emphasis is placed on the problems, while the solutions are briefly mentioned.
Coherence & Cohesion
The essay shows some attempt at organizing ideas logically, but there are some issues with coherence and cohesion. The introduction and conclusion are present, but they lack clarity and coherence. The supporting points are not organized effectively, and the essay lacks a clear and cohesive structure. There is a need for better transitions between ideas to improve coherence and cohesion.
