task response
Ensure that all parts of the essay are directly relevant to the task question and fully address all parts of the prompt. Provide a clear opinion and support it with relevant examples and explanations.
cohesion and coherence
Use cohesive devices such as transition words, pronouns, and conjunctions to connect ideas within and between sentences and paragraphs. Ensure that the essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion that are well-structured and logically connected.

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
