Coherence & Cohesion
The essay lacks clear logical structure, with ideas being somewhat unorganized and transitions between them abrupt. To improve, you should focus on making your paragraphs follow a more logical order, ensuring that each paragraph opens with a clear topic sentence and that the ideas within the paragraphs are linked effectively using transition words.
Coherence & Cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present, but they are not effectively crafted. The introduction needs to have a clear outline of the discussion points, and the conclusion should succinctly summarize the main arguments and clearly state the writer's position. Spend more time crafting these key parts of the essay to guide the reader through your argument.
Coherence & Cohesion
While you have attempted to support your main points, the development of these points is rather basic. Incorporating more detailed explanations, along with relevant and specific examples, would strengthen your essay. To enhance the quality of your essay, work on expanding your paragraphs with more depth and clear, illustrative examples that directly support your claims.
Task Achievement
Though an attempt to respond to the task has been made, the response lacks full completion. It's important to explore all parts of the prompt equally, which includes discussing both views in detail and providing your own reasoned opinion. Focus on expanding your discussion to fully address all elements of the task.
Task Achievement
Your ideas are present but not expressed in a clear and comprehensive manner, which may lead to misunderstandings. It's essential to clarify your ideas by expressing them in a direct and unambiguous way. Using simple and precise language can help make your points clearer to the reader.
Task Achievement
Specific examples to support your arguments are either lacking or insufficiently developed. For a higher band score, ensure that each main idea is accompanied by relevant examples to reinforce your argument. Adding real-life scenarios or concrete evidence can greatly enhance your essay's persuasive power.

Your opinion

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

If the question asks what you think, you MUST give your opinion to get a good score.

Don’t leave your opinion until the conclusion.

Here are examples of instructions that require you to give your opinion:

...do you agree or disagree?...do you think...?...your opinion...?
