task response
Your essay addresses the topic and presents a clear viewpoint, which is great. However, try to develop your ideas more fully and elaborate on your examples to strengthen your argument. For instance, stating specific ways in which wealth fails to provide happiness can make your points more convincing.
coherence cohesion
You have a logical structure in your essay, but some paragraphs can be slightly disjointed. Ensure each paragraph flows smoothly to the next. Transition words and phrases can aid in creating a better flow. For example, 'On the other hand,' instead of 'On other side,' or 'As such,' instead of 'It's not childrens falls.'
coherence cohesion
Your introduction and conclusion are present and relevant. However, the conclusion needs more depth; try to summarize your main points more clearly. You might want to end with a profound statement or rhetorical question to leave a lasting impression.
task response
Your examples are relevant and provide good support for your points. But make sure to address and correct any factual or grammatical inaccuracies. For instance, 'Marlyn Monroe' should be 'Marilyn Monroe,' and 'therapy' instead of 'theraphy.' Likewise, improve the readability by checking for typos and using appropriate tenses.
