introduction conclusion present
Although you provided an introduction and conclusion, both could be more effectively presented. A clear thesis statement in the introduction and a summary of main points in the conclusion could strengthen your essay.
logical structure
The logical sequence of ideas could be improved. Ideas should flow naturally from one to the next using a variety of cohesive devices and paragraphing. This can be further enhanced by clear topic sentences and transitions.
supported main points
While main points are supported, they should be expanded with relevant details and explanations that are clearly related to the topic. Aim to support your ideas with a mix of evidence and examples.
complete response
It is important to address all parts of the task fully. Ensure that your essay directly answers the question by addressing both sides of the argument and providing a clear opinion.
clear comprehensive ideas
Your ideas need to be expressed in a clear and comprehensive manner. You may improve this by planning your essay structure before writing and ensuring each paragraph has one main idea with supporting details.
relevant specific examples
Use relevant examples to illustrate your points effectively. Although you have used some examples, grounding them in concrete, specific situations can make your argument more persuasive.
