 from overseas, resulting in students staying far from their families in order to partake in the classes.

task response
Task Response: The essay provides a clear response to the given prompt by discussing the reasons why people spend more time away from their families and the effects of this trend. However, the response lacks depth and needs to address the prompt more comprehensively.
coherence cohesion
Coherence and Cohesion: The essay demonstrates a clear logical structure with a well-organized introduction and conclusion. The supporting points are presented in a coherent manner. However, some ideas are not fully developed, and the connections between sentences could be strengthened for a more cohesive flow.

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
