coherence cohesion
The essay lacks a logical structure and the ideas aren't clearly connected or ordered in a logical way. Paragraphs should be well-organized with clear topic sentences that guide the reader through the points made. The usage of cohesive devices such as linking words also needs improvement.
task achievement
The task response is minimally adequate. The question prompt is somewhat addressed, but the development of ideas is limited, lacking depth, and the examples provided are not fully relevant or well-explained. The essay needs a balanced discussion of both sides of the argument to fully meet the task requirements at a higher level.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
