coherence cohesion
The essay lacks a clear, logical structure which makes it difficult to follow the argument. Use clear paragraphing with topic sentences to signal new ideas and organize content logically.
coherence cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are not distinct, and do not clearly set up and summarize the essay's argument. Ensure that you have a concise introduction stating the topic and your thesis, and a distinct conclusion summarizing your main points and re-stating your thesis.
coherence cohesion
While some main points are supported, the development of ideas is not sufficiently clear and detailed. Make sure each paragraph contains one main idea, and expand on it with examples and explanations.
task achievement
The response falls short of addressing all parts of the task. Make sure you directly address all elements of the question: the ways humans damage the environment, what governments and individuals can do.
task achievement
The ideas are somewhat relevant but not clearly expressed or well-developed. Work on expressing your ideas clearly and expand on them so they form a comprehensive response to the question.
task achievement
Specific examples are given but they need to be more developed to support the argument effectively. Use relevant examples to illustrate your points and explain how they are connected to your argument.

Fully explain your ideas
