Recently the issue that has been brought into focus is the importance of
food
 increasing availability. It is generally believed that shops should not be allowed to sell any
food
 or drinks that have been scientifically proven to be bad for humans’ health. I fully agree with that. In

Task Achievement
Ensure your introduction directly addresses the question and presents a clear opinion. The essay's introduction should explicitly state whether you agree or disagree with the statement and outline the main points that will be discussed.
Task Achievement
Develop each paragraph with a single main idea, supported by specific examples. While you have made attempts to do this, ensuring that each paragraph has a clear focus and that the examples are directly relevant to the topic would improve the clarity of your main points.
Coherence and Cohesion
Use a range of cohesive devices appropriately. While you have utilised some linking words, there is room for improvement in the way paragraphs and sentences are connected to create a more seamless flow of ideas.
Coherence and Cohesion
To maintain coherence, ensure there is a clear progression of ideas throughout the essay and that the points made in the introduction are mirrored and expanded upon in the conclusion.
Task Achievement
Proofread the essay to correct grammatical and spelling errors such as 'wellrecomment' which should be 'well-recommended', 'eat to have a level of balance' which seems incomplete, and 'food greatly affects human life' that could be more eloquently phrased.

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
