task achievement
Your essay conveyed your full agreement with the idea that smoking should be banned in public places. Each paragraph did maintain focus on the central argument. However, your main ideas could have benefited from a deeper and more varied development with specific examples. To improve, you should seek to deepen your analysis in each paragraph and include a wider range of supporting examples. Additionally, ensure that your examples are directly relevant to the argument you are making in each paragraph.
coherence cohesion
While your essay has a clear introduction and conclusion, it could be improved by enhancing the logical flow between ideas and paragraphs. Some sentences were somewhat unclear and detracted from the cohesion of the text. Transitions between sentences and ideas could be smoother.
