coherence cohesion
The essay somewhat follows a logical structure, but there are instances where ideas are not fully expanded upon or sequenced properly, causing some confusion for the reader. Attempt to create a clearer thread of arguments throughout the essay.
coherence cohesion
There is an introduction and a conclusion in the essay, but both sections could be improved by providing a clearer thesis statement and summarising the main points more effectively in the conclusion.
coherence cohesion
Main points are presented, but they need to be better supported with more detailed examples, explanations, and justifications to strengthen the argument and make it more persuasive.
task achievement
The response addresses the task, but the discussion of whether the prevalence of smartphone use among children is a positive or negative development is unbalanced. Ensure that both aspects of the question are addressed equally and that arguments for both sides are presented if you are making a one-sided argument.
task achievement
Ideas presented in the essay are related to the topic but are not comprehensively developed. Work on expanding and elaborating on the ideas in greater detail to provide a depth of analysis required at a higher band level.
task achievement
The essay lacks sufficiently relevant and specific examples to illustrate the points being made. Including such examples helps to demonstrate a clearer understanding of the topic and strengthen the writer's arguments.
