coherence cohesion
Your essay lacks a clear and coherent structure. It is important to have an introduction that presents the topic and your thesis statement, followed by body paragraphs each focused on a specific point, and a clear conclusion that summarises your thoughts and restates your position.
coherence cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present but not effectively developed. Your conclusion should summarise the essay's main points and restate your thesis in the context of the information presented in the essay.
coherence cohesion
Your main points are not well supported. Each main point in your argument should be substantiated with relevant examples or further explanation to strengthen your discussion and make your argument more persuasive.
task achievement
The response is incomplete as it does not address the specific question of whether the trend of shopping as a hobby is positive. You should directly answer the question and provide explanations that support your viewpoint.
task achievement
Your ideas are not clearly expressed and lack comprehensiveness, making it difficult for the reader to follow your argument. Ensure that each paragraph contains one clear main idea and is expanded upon with supporting details.
task achievement
While you included some general examples, the essay would benefit from more specific and relevant examples that are directly tied to your argument to illustrate your points more effectively.
