There is a widely held belief that school
teachers
 have a greater impact than
parents
 on
students
' cognitive and social development.
However
, I strongly disagree with
this
 claim, as
parents
 are the primary and lifelong educators.
To begin

parents
 are the first and most important
teachers

As a result

Furthermore

Task Achievement
You need to fully address all parts of the task. The essay should clearly state your position and then develop supporting arguments throughout. While you do express a clear opinion, it should be supported by a wider range of ideas and examples relevant to the prompt.
Coherence and Cohesion
To improve coherence, use a range of cohesive devices and paragraphing effectively to structure your argument. The essay as it stands lacks variety in linking words and phrases, which can lead to a sense of repetition. Additionally, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea supported by specific evidence and examples.

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
