Coherence & Cohesion
Your essay lacks a clear logical structure, as your points are not presented in a consistently logical order. Consider planning your essay with clear topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph that correspond to the argument or point you are trying to make. Each paragraph should also follow a clear progression of ideas.
Coherence & Cohesion
While you have an introduction and a conclusion in your essay, they are not fully effective. Your introduction could better paraphrase the question and outline your argument. Your conclusion should summarise the main points without introducing new information. Ensure that your opening and closing statements are clear and mirror each other in content and structure.
Task Achievement
The examples you have used are relevant, but they lack development. Use specific and detailed examples to effectively support your main points. This will add depth to your arguments and assist in illustrating your points more convincingly.
Task Achievement
Your response to the task partially covers the prompt, yet it does not fully develop the comparison between the advantages and disadvantages, which is required by the question. Make sure that you address all parts of the task and provide a balanced discussion before issuing a clear opinion.
Task Achievement
While you have presented ideas related to the topic, they appear to be listed rather than explained in depth. Aim to explore each main idea thoroughly, demonstrating your understanding and ability to discuss the question critically.

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...?
