task achievement
While your essay does address parts of both tasks, it could be enhanced by providing more specific examples to support your claims. This would not only improve the relevance of the points made but also ensure that the response is fully developed in line with the task requirements. Consider adding real-world instances or statistical data to back up your reasoning about the increased consumption of processed foods and its consequences.
coherence cohesion
Your essay generally presents ideas in a logical manner and includes an introduction and a conclusion, which is good. However, to improve coherence, transitions between ideas could be smoother and more varied. Consider employing a wider range of cohesive devices beyond 'Firstly' and 'Moreover' to aid the reader in following your argument. Additionally, work on paragraph structuring to avoid overly long sentences and ensure each paragraph has one clear main idea.

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
