task achievement
The essay presents an opinion and touches on both sides of the argument, which shows an attempt to provide a complete response. However, the depth of the argument and the elaboration of points is somewhat lacking, which makes the response feel incomplete in parts. It would be beneficial to develop ideas fully, ensuring each is followed by detailed explanation and evidence for a stronger task response.
coherence cohesion
The essay's structure is recognizably appropriate with an introduction and a conclusion; however, the development of ideas needs improvement. There are gaps in the logic and flow between ideas, which hinders coherence. Use linking words and phrases to better connect paragraphs and sentences, and ensure that each paragraph has a clear main idea supported by coherent arguments and examples.
coherence cohesion
Some of the main points lack clear support, such as the uncritical use of 'fairy-tails' and unspecific references to 'magic kind of healing.' It is important to provide relevant and specific examples to underpin your arguments; this could include citing studies, statistics, or expert opinions. Unsupported claims weaken the overall cohesion and persuasiveness of the essay.
