coherence cohesion
Ensure logical sequencing of paragraphs and use a range of linking phrases to create smoother transitions between ideas. Avoid abrupt shifts in topic or argument. Prioritize clarity when presenting main ideas.
coherence cohesion
Introduction and conclusion were present, but the introduction was too brief and the overall position was not made clear. The conclusion was more effective but could be strengthened with a clearer summary of main points.
coherence cohesion
While you did provide some support for your main points, strive to include more detailed examples and evidence for a more persuasive argument. This will help fortify your discussion and provide more substance.
task achievement
Your response addresses the prompt, but it is somewhat incomplete and partially answers the question. Be sure to cover all aspects of the task and provide a balanced discussion of both advantages and disadvantages.
task achievement
Your ideas were relevant but lacked depth and comprehensive development. Work on expanding your thoughts and providing a more thorough analysis of each point.
task achievement
Specific examples were limited, and at times, vague. Always try to provide concrete and relevant examples to illustrate your points. This adds authenticity and interest to your writing.
