coherence cohesion
The logical structure of the essay is weak, with ideas presented sporadically and without clear progression. Create distinct paragraphs for the introduction, main points, and conclusion. Each paragraph should introduce its main idea at the beginning and proceed logically. Avoid combining multiple ideas within a single sentence or paragraph without clear connections or transitions. Use linking words to create better flow and cohesion between sentences and paragraphs.
coherence cohesion
An introduction and a conclusion are present but lack clarity. Both the introduction and conclusion should be well-defined, with the introduction setting the stage for the discussion and the conclusion effectively summarizing the main points and providing a final thought. Additionally, a restatement of the topic and the writer's position should be included in the conclusion.
coherence cohesion
Main points are present, yet they are not well-supported or elaborated upon. Ensure each main point is accompanied by adequate explanation, evidence, or examples. Develop each idea thoroughly before moving on to the next point. This will help to create a more persuasive and comprehensive argument.
task achievement
The response addresses the task to some extent but fails to fully develop a complete response to all parts of the question. Work on providing a comprehensive answer that covers all aspects of the prompt, including the damage caused by plastic to the environment and suggestions for solutions by governments and individuals. Avoid generalizing and try to be specific wherever possible.
task achievement
Ideas presented in the essay are somewhat relevant but lack depth and clarity. Strive to express ideas more clearly and ensure that they directly address the task. Use straightforward language and make sure each paragraph focuses on a single idea. To enhance clarity, avoid overly long sentences and check for grammatical accuracy.
task achievement
There is a mention of examples, but they are not sufficiently relevant or specific. Include more concrete examples or data to support your arguments, making them more convincing. Specific examples from personal experience, current events, or credible sources can significantly strengthen the argument. Ensure examples are directly related to the points you are trying to make.

Fully explain your ideas

To get an excellent score in the IELTS Task 2 writing section, one of the easiest and most effective tips is structuring your writing in the most solid format.

    • Sentence 3 - Thesis
    • Sentence 4 - Outline sentence
  • Paragraph 2 - First supporting paragraph
    • Sentence 1 - Topic sentence
    • Sentence 2 - Example
    • Sentence 3 - Discussion
    • Sentence 4 - Conclusion
  • Paragraph 3 - Second supporting paragraph
    • Sentence 1 - Topic sentence
    • Sentence 2 - Example
    • Sentence 3 - Discussion
    • Sentence 4 - Conclusion
  • Paragraph 4 - Conclusion
    • Sentence 1 - Summary
    • Sentence 2 - Restatement of thesis
    • Sentence 3 - Prediction or recommendation
