The funds for postgraduate research are limited; therefore, some people think that financial support from the government should be provided. However, only scientific research should be funded, rather than other, less useful subjects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

task achievement
Your essay is partially responsive to the task, but the arguments need to be more fully extended and substantiated with relevant examples. To fully meet the task achievement criteria, ensure that your position is clearly presented throughout the essay and develops a well-supported argument, citing examples that illustrate your points effectively.
coherence cohesion
The logical structure of your essay could be significantly improved. Think about organizing your ideas into clear paragraphs, each with a clear main idea followed by supporting sentences that develop that idea. Transitions between the ideas could be smoother. Aim for coherence in your argument by ensuring each paragraph logically follows from the one before, leading the reader through your points in a clear and organized manner.

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
