coherence cohesion
The essay demonstrates some organization, but the logical structure could be improved for a more cohesive argument. The introduction and conclusion are present, but they could be more developed and linked to the main points more clearly.
task response
The essay partially responds to the task, but the ideas need to be more comprehensively developed. More specific examples and details are needed to fully address the advantages and disadvantages.

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
