Task Achievement
For task achievement, it's crucial to address the prompt fully. In your case, ensure to provide a balanced discussion that focuses on both the extent of your agreement or disagreement and on suggesting other measures. Expand on your ideas to show a more diverse range of solutions.
Coherence and Cohesion
For coherence and cohesion, work on linking your ideas more effectively. Use a range of cohesive devices and ensure paragraphs flow naturally from one to the next. You could benefit from clearer topic sentences and more explicit connections between your points.
Coherence and Cohesion
When supporting your main points, include a variety of examples drawn from different perspectives or sources. This can improve the depth of your essay and show a more rounded understanding of the topic.

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
