The essay demonstrates a limited level of logical structure, often presenting ideas in a confusing or disorderly manner. To improve, create an outline before writing that includes a clear introduction, body paragraphs with distinct ideas, and a logical conclusion. Use transition words to connect ideas and paragraphs effectively.
