task achievement
Ensure that the response is relevant to the task given. The essay provided does not address the topic of the importance of a good teacher versus the student's attitude in educational success. Instead, it discusses energy sources in the USA over a ten-year period, which indicates a misunderstanding of the task.
coherence cohesion
An IELTS essay should include an introduction that introduces the topic, at least two body paragraphs that develop main points with supporting details, and a conclusion that summarizes the main points and restates the writer's opinion. This structure helps in achieving coherence and cohesion. The provided essay lacks this structure and instead offers a brief description without any clear introduction or conclusion.
coherence cohesion
Coherence refers to how well the essay sticks together and how clearly one point leads to the next. Use a variety of linking words and phrases to connect ideas and paragraphs. Cohesion refers to the use of cohesive devices like pronouns, conjunctions, and transitions to help the essay flow. This essay is considerably limited in its use of these elements, resulting in a disjointed piece of writing.
task achievement
Provide clear and comprehensive ideas that directly respond to the essay question. Use examples and explanations to support your ideas, ensuring that these examples are relevant to the topic. In this example, the content presented is irrelevant to the posed essay question, and no specific examples directly related to the importance of teachers or students' attitudes are given.
