coherence cohesion
You need to work on the logical structure of your essay. It transitions abruptly between ideas, making it hard to follow. A clear introductory sentence at the beginning of each paragraph could help guide the reader through your argument.
coherence cohesion
While an introduction and conclusion are present, they should be more distinguished and developed. They need to clearly state the topic, your position, and summarise the main points of the essay.
coherence cohesion
Support your main points with more detailed explanations and examples. Your ideas are currently too general and need to be fleshed out to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the topic.
task achievement
Make sure to answer all parts of the question. You addressed the negative effects of tourism and provided brief suggestions for tourists, but your response lacks depth. Explain these ideas further and consider both sides of the argument for a higher score.
task achievement
Your ideas should be clearer and more comprehensive. Try to develop each point fully before moving to the next. Each paragraph should have one main idea that is thoroughly explained and supported.
task achievement
Include more relevant and specific examples to illustrate your arguments. The examples given are too vague and do not convincingly support your claims. Use concrete cases or statistics to strengthen your essay.
