coherence cohesion
Try to structure your essay more logically, with clear introductory, body, and concluding paragraphs that each have a unique function. Make sure that each paragraph has a clear central idea and that the essay flows naturally from one point to the next.
task achievement
Work on providing a more comprehensive response to the prompt. Expand on your points with detailed examples and ensure you address all parts of the question. Both the advantages and disadvantages should be explored equally, with your final opinion being justified by the arguments presented.

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
