Coherence & Cohesion
To improve your essay's coherence and cohesion, ensure a clear logical progression of ideas throughout your text. Use linking words effectively to connect sentences and paragraphs smoothly. Pay attention to the overall flow of the essay to enhance readability and ensure your introduction and conclusion are more clearly defined, adding to the overall cohesion of your work.
Task Achievement
Regarding task achievement, your essay does need to address the prompt more fully to express a clear position throughout the response. While you have covered aspects of the topic concerning health care and the use of traditional medicine, the argument does not thoroughly explore both sides as the prompt suggests. Additionally, provide more relevant, specific examples to back up your points and ensure that every main point is elaborately discussed to strengthen your argument.
Your opinion

Don’t put your opinion unless you are asked to give it.

If the question asks what you think, you MUST give your opinion to get a good score.

Don’t leave your opinion until the conclusion.

Here are examples of instructions that require you to give your opinion:

...do you agree or disagree?...do you think...?...your opinion...?
