task achievement
The response presents a clear position throughout the response. However, try to explore the topic from multiple perspectives to fully satisfy task requirements, instead of focusing mainly on one side of the argument.
coherence cohesion
Use a range of cohesive devices but make sure they are used appropriately. Avoid overusing them, and ensure that paragraphs flow logically from one to the next.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
