Ensure that the essay has a clear logical flow. Each idea should be clearly introduced, explained and then summed up. The transitions between the points could be smoother for better readability.
Coherence & Cohesion
The introduction and conclusion need to clearly reflect your position, making sure they encapsulate your argument and restate your opinion firmly.
Task Achievement
Supporting examples need to be more detailed and specific. Instead of general statements about what studies show, including specific findings from actual studies to substantiate your claims would be more persuasive.
