task response
Provide more specific and detailed examples to support your points.
coherence cohesion
The essay's structure could be further improved by using linking words and phrases to better connect ideas and improve coherence and cohesion.
lexical resource
Expand your range of vocabulary by using a wider variety of words and expressions to avoid repetition.
grammatical range
While your grammatical range is generally good, pay attention to sentence structures and try to vary them more for a better range.

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
