task response
Your essay shows some relevant ideas but lacks clarity in expressing them. Make sure to organize your thoughts and provide specific examples that clearly relate to your points.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay has a basic introduction and conclusion, but it needs more development and connection between the ideas. Work on structuring your essay in a way that leads the reader through your argument.

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
