coherence cohesion
Your essay fails to provide a clear logical structure. There is a lack of clear paragraphing and ideas seem to be randomly organized which can confuse the reader.
coherence cohesion
While an introduction and conclusion are present, they are both underdeveloped. The introduction lacks a clear thesis statement and the conclusion is too vague and does not effectively summarize the main points made in the essay.
coherence cohesion
The essay's main points are not adequately supported by specific details or examples. Providing evidence, examples, and further explanation of your ideas would strengthen your arguments.
task achievement
While you have made an attempt to address the topic, the response is not fully developed. Each paragraph should clearly address a single aspect of the question, namely the advantages and disadvantages discussed.
task achievement
The ideas are conveyed but lack clarity and comprehensiveness. Use topic sentences to introduce your points clearly and develop them fully within the paragraph. Avoid overly general statements.
task achievement
Your essay lacks relevant and specific examples that would help illustrate and support the points being made. Including real-word examples or hypothetical situations would enhance the credibility of your arguments.

Fully explain your ideas
