Task Achievement
For Task Achievement, ensure that you address all parts of the question comprehensively. While the essay does give an opinion on which approach has more advantages, it does not clearly discuss the disadvantages of children having a school uniform separate from the financial perspective. There is a need for a broader range of examples and exploration of the potential negative implications of uniforms on children's development, expression, and well-being.
Coherence and Cohesion
For Coherence and Cohesion, the essay has a reasonable logical structure, using paragraphs to break up the text, but the progression of ideas could be smoother. Transitions between ideas can be enhanced by using a variety of linking words and phrases. Additionally, it is important to ensure that pronoun reference is clear ('them' in the safety argument is a little ambiguous) and that points are made and explained within the same section for better cohesion.
