task response
The essay responds well to the prompt, presenting a clear argument in favor of not allowing children under 16 to leave school for full-time work. However, be sure to address any potential counterarguments as well to provide a more balanced perspective.
coherence cohesion
The logical structure of the essay is generally effective, with clear progression between paragraphs and cohesive use of linking words and phrases. Work on ensuring that each paragraph follows logically from the previous one for even stronger coherence.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
