Nowadays, parents always desire their children to go to

introduction conclusion present
The essay does introduce a topic and provide a conclusion, though more distinguishable introductory and concluding statements would improve it. Providing definitions of key terms such as 'success' in the introduction could help clarify the scope of the essay.
logical structure
The logical structure of your paragraphs is generally clear but can be confusing due to a lack of clear topic sentences and transitions. Aim to devote the first sentence of each paragraph to a singular clear topic and use transitional phrases to connect ideas.
supported main points
The main points are present but not fully developed or supported. Try to include more concrete examples, statistics, or sources to substantiate your arguments. Also, pay attention to providing balanced discussion of both views before stating your opinion.
complete response
Although you address the task, your response is not fully developed. The discussion on each viewpoint needs to be expanded and the comparison between them should be clearer. Ensure you have fully explained why university might not be necessary for success today.
clear comprehensive ideas
The ideas put forward are somewhat general and could benefit from being more specific. Aim to explain concepts in greater detail, and how they apply to the context of success in the modern world.
relevant specific examples
The reliance on general examples of success, such as referencing famous billionaires, weakens the essay's argument. Incorporate a wider range of examples that are more directly relevant to the average individual's path to success.

Fully explain your ideas
