Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that the essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Your introduction and conclusion could be more effectively paraphrased to reflect the complexity of the question posed.
Coherence & Cohesion
Develop clear main points in each body paragraph and use a variety of linking words and phrases to show the relationship between ideas and to enhance the logical flow.
Task Achievement
A complete response to the task must address all parts of the prompt effectively. Your essay should discuss the importance of learning English, the importance of preserving local languages, and provide concrete strategies for language preservation.
Task Achievement
Make sure all provided ideas are fully expanded upon and clear. Avoid general statements and provide more detailed explanations and arguments for the points you raise.
Task Achievement
Include relevant, specific examples to support your main points. This strengthens your arguments and showcases your ability to provide a comprehensive response to the question.

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
