structure
Make sure you provide a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. The introduction should set the stage for the story and your conclusion should reflect on the experience or provide a resolution.
cohesion
Organize ideas logically and use a range of cohesive devices appropriately. Improve transitions between sentences and paragraphs for better flow.
task response
Be explicit and clear in your response to the task. Provide comprehensive and clear ideas in relation to the prompt, ensuring that each part of the task is addressed.
grammar
Avoid mixing tenses unnecessarily and maintain consistencies in your recount of the events.
content
Provide relevant, specific examples to support each point you make. Use these examples to help the reader understand and visualize your experience better.
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
