coherence cohesion
Your essay has a basic logical structure but could be enhanced with better paragraphing and the use of more sophisticated linking words. The introduction and conclusion are present, but they could be more impactful with stronger thesis statements and summaries of main points. To strengthen the coherence and cohesion of your essay, consider planning your paragraphs around clear central ideas, and ensure each paragraph flows logically to the next with appropriate cohesive devices.
task achievement
You have addressed the task and provided a clear opinion, which is good for task achievement. However, to improve, ensure that you explore all parts of the task more fully. This means discussing both views thoroughly and providing more developed examples to support your points. Additionally, try to present arguments in a more balanced way before providing your opinion to show a comprehensive understanding of the topic.

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
