Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that your essay has a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each paragraph should contain a single main idea supported by relevant examples or explanations.
Coherence & Cohesion
Your introduction needs to clearly address the question and outline your position. Similarly, the conclusion should restate your position and summarise the main points of your argument.
Coherence & Cohesion
Your essay should logically expand on each point with clear, developed ideas. Paragraphs should be distinct, with each having a clear main point that is elaborated upon.
Task Achievement
It is crucial to respond directly to the task questions. In this case, discuss why children spend hours on their smartphones and provide a focused response as to whether this is positive or negative, with clear reasoning.
Task Achievement
Use a range of vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely and vary your sentence structures to showcase your language skills. Avoid repetition of words and phrases.
Task Achievement
Include relevant, specific examples to support your points, making sure they contribute to answering the task questions. Generic statements and unsupported claims weaken your argument.
