Coherence Cohesion
Ensure consistent verb tenses throughout your essay. In some instances, you have switched between past and present tenses erroneously, which can make the text harder to follow.
Coherence Cohesion
Your essay's structure would benefit from clear topic sentences that directly relate to the task prompt. These should be followed by supporting sentences that elaborate on the point being made
Task Achievement
The introduction could be strengthened by directly addressing the essay question and clearly stating your main argument or point of view.
Coherence Cohesion
Be mindful of article and preposition usage. There are several instances within your writing where these are either incorrect or missing, which impacts readability.
Task Achievement
Try to provide more relevant and specific examples to support your points. This would help to further convince the reader and add depth to your arguments.
Coherence Cohesion
Pay attention to sentence variety. Mix complex and simple sentence structures to create a more engaging and sophisticated narrative.
Task Achievement
Work on developing a stronger conclusion that does more than simply restate the main points. A conclusion should also provide some final thoughts or a decisive stance on the issue.

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
