task response
Your essay addresses both views of the topic and provides a clear opinion. Well done.
coherence cohesion
The logical structure of your essay is clear and easy to follow. However, consider organizing your ideas in a more coherent way, using appropriate linking devices.
lexical resource
Your use of vocabulary is sufficient to convey your ideas, but you could enhance it by incorporating a wider range of vocabulary and more complex sentence structures.
grammatical range
Overall, your grammar is accurate, but there are a few minor errors. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and verb tenses.

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
