task response
The essay contains some relevant points but lacks depth and clarity. The introduction and conclusion need to be stronger and more coherent. The main points are not fully developed, and the examples need more specificity to tie in with the main arguments.
coherence and cohesion
The logical structure of the essay is somewhat clear although it lacks coherence and cohesion. The ideas are not well connected and transitions between paragraphs are weak. The use of cohesive devices is limited, and this affects the overall coherence of the essay.
lexical resource
The lexical resource is adequate, but there is room for improvement. The vocabulary used is generally appropriate, but there is a lack of variety and precision. Some expressions are repetitive and lack sophistication, which affects the overall quality of the writing.
grammatical range
The grammatical range is sufficient, but there are some noticeable errors in sentence structure and tense usage. The punctuation is inconsistent, and the essay lacks complexity in the use of sentence structures. Further attention to grammatical accuracy and range is necessary to enhance the quality of writing.

Your opinion

Don’t put your opinion unless you are asked to give it.
