task achievement
Your essay adequately addresses the task, introducing the topic of private versus public schooling and their effects on students and society. However, to improve your score, I recommend expanding on both viewpoints with more detailed analysis and clearer examples. Your conclusion summarizes your stance but could benefit from further exploration of the implications or potential solutions.
coherence cohesion
Your essay has a clear overall structure, though transitions between ideas could be smoother. Consider using a wider range of cohesive devices and paragraphing techniques to enhance readability. Ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea and use topic sentences effectively to signpost your main points to the reader.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
