coherence cohesion
The essay follows a structured format with an introduction, body, and conclusion. However, to enhance the logical flow and structure, ensure that each paragraph focuses on a singular main idea and appropriately transitions to the next paragraph. This will help your essay to flow in a more coherent manner.
coherence cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present but can be improved. The introduction should clearly state the topic and outline the structure of the discussion, while the conclusion should summarise the main points and express your opinion more definitively. Be certain your conclusion aligns with the arguments presented in the body of the essay.
coherence cohesion
The essay provides some support for the main points, but the arguments would benefit from a deeper exploration and more varied sentence structures. Enhance your supporting sentences with more complex ideas and use cohesive devices to better connect your ideas and examples.
task achievement
You have provided a partial response to the task with your opinion stated at the end. To improve, directly address the task prompt immediately in the introduction, clearly stating both views before providing your opinion. This helps in achieving a full response to the task.
task achievement
The ideas are relevant to the topic, but they need to be communicated more comprehensively. Expand on your ideas with further explanations and implications, which will add depth to your discussion and demonstrate a clear understanding of the topic.
task achievement
You've included relevant examples, but try to integrate a wider range of specific instances that illustrate the points made. This will help in demonstrating a thorough understanding of how these aspects influence the difficulty or ease of city life.
