Task Response
Your introduction sets the context reasonably well, but there is room to present a clearer thesis statement that directly addresses both parts of the question (teachers' influence and students' attitudes).
Task Response
Ensure that each body paragraph presents a clear main idea that is discussed at length and directly relates to the points mentioned in your thesis.
Task Response
Provide specific examples to support your points. While you used a personal example related to your physics teacher, more varied and detailed examples will strengthen your argument.
Task Response
The conclusion effectively reiterates your stance, but it could further synthesize the main points discussed in the essay for a stronger impact.
Coherence and Cohesion
Organize your essay with clear paragraphs, each beginning with a topic sentence that expresses the main idea of the paragraph.
Coherence and Cohesion
Use logical connectors and transition words to improve the flow between sentences and paragraphs. Doing so can help guide the reader through your arguments and reinforce the structure of your essay.
Coherence and Cohesion
Vary your sentence structures to develop more complex grammatical constructs, which can enhance the quality of your writing and the clarity of communication.

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
