Some employers believe that job applicants’ social skills are more important than their academic qualifications. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Coherence and Cohesion
To improve the logical structure of your essay, ensure that your paragraphs flow smoothly from one idea to another. Use a variety of linking words and phrases to connect your sentences and ideas more effectively within paragraphs.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your introduction and conclusion are present, which is good practice. However, they need to be more impactful. Clearly state your opinion in the introduction and restate it in the conclusion, making sure it aligns with the content of your body paragraphs.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your main points need to be better supported. Ensure that each main idea is expanded upon with sufficient detail, evidence, or examples. Avoid making broad statements without backing them up with specific information or examples.
Task Achievement
To achieve a complete response to the task, carefully address all parts of the prompt. Make sure that your essay directly responds to the question asked, presenting a clear opinion on the issue.
Task Achievement
For clear and comprehensive ideas, be sure to define and explain your main points clearly. Avoid using overly complex language or sentences that could confuse the reader.
Task Achievement
Include relevant and specific examples to strengthen your argument. These examples should clearly illustrate your point and be directly related to the topic at hand. Try to draw on a wide range of examples from your own experience or general knowledge.

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
