coherence cohesion
The essay lacks clear and logical structure, which is paramount for the reader to follow the argument seamlessly. Transition between ideas should be smoother, and paragraphs better organized.
coherence cohesion
Introduction and conclusion are present, but they are simplistic and lack a clear thesis statement and summarizing conclusion. A more sophisticated approach, reiterating the main points, is necessary in both sections.
coherence cohesion
Main points are stated but not well-supported with specific examples or detailed explanation. Making general statements is insufficient without evidence or illustrative examples to back up the claims.
task achievement
The response to the task is incomplete. Both parts of the prompt need to be addressed equally, with clear opinions and explanations. The essay only marginally touches upon why children spend hours every day on smartphones and lacks a more thorough exploration of whether it is a positive or negative development.
task achievement
Ideas presented in the essay are somewhat clear but not comprehensive. They need to be fully developed with more depth and clarity to convey a strong argument.
task achievement
Relevant examples are scarce and not adequately elaborated. Using specific, relevant examples would significantly strengthen the points made and make the essay more persuasive.
