introduction conclusion present
Your essay lacks a clear introduction and conclusion. Ensure that your essay opens with a clear thesis statement that directly addresses the question, and conclude with a summary of your main arguments.
logical structure
The logical flow between ideas is weak. Work on creating a more logical sequence of ideas. Use clear topic sentences and ensure each paragraph progresses naturally from one idea to the next.
supported main points
Support your main points with focused, relevant examples. Avoid using personal anecdotes that may not be universally relatable.
complete response
Your response partially addresses the prompt, but you need to develop your ideas more fully. Discuss both the positive and negative aspects as required by the question, and ensure you state your own opinion clearly throughout the essay.
clear comprehensive ideas
Ideas are partially clear, but the writing would benefit from more comprehensive explanations and supporting details. Use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures to articulate ideas more effectively.
relevant specific examples
Although you provided a relevant personal example, try to incorporate more general examples to substantiate your arguments and make your essay more persuasive.
