task achievement
The essay should consistently maintain a formal academic tone; avoid colloquialisms such as 'hits them in the face' and strive for more formal phrasing throughout.
task achievement
Develop your ideas further by providing specific examples that illustrate your points, such as statistics or studies related to recidivism rates, to enhance the depth of your analysis.
coherence cohesion
While the essay contains some logical structure, improve the flow by using a wider range of cohesive devices to clearly connect ideas and paragraphs. As an example, use linking words or phrases to introduce opposing viewpoints or to add information.
coherence cohesion
Maintain a clear paragraph structure with distinct introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Ensure that each paragraph introduces a clear main idea and subsequent sentences expand on that idea.
coherence cohesion
Check for runaway sentences that may be too long and confusing. Split complex ideas into multiple sentences for clarity and ease of understanding.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
