task response
Ensure that each body paragraph addresses a specific aspect of the topic and provides relevant examples and evidence to support your points.
coherence cohesion
The essay lacks a clear progression of ideas and some parts may be unclear or illogical. Use transition words and phrases to connect your ideas more effectively.
lexical resource
Expand your range of vocabulary and use more precise and varied lexical choices to express your ideas. Avoid repetition of words and phrases.
grammatical range
Use a wider variety of sentence structures and be cautious of grammatical errors. Pay attention to subject-verb agreement and use varied sentence beginnings to avoid monotony.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
