task achievement
Regarding task response, the essay fails to elaborate on the extent of agreement with the given opinion and offer a conclusive statement. The argument is presented abruptly and is incomplete. To improve, ensure that the response fully addresses the prompt. This means exploring the implications of the opinion, discussing counterpoints, and providing a clear, final stance.
coherence cohesion
