coherence cohesion
Ensure that your essay maintains a clear and logical structure throughout, and remember to include a distinct introduction and conclusion. Aim to deepen the linkage of ideas between paragraphs by using a broader range of cohesive devices and transitional phrases.
task achievement
Address all parts of the task. You provided a clear overview of the reasons and consequences of immigration, but strive to provide more specific and developed examples to strengthen your points and make the response wholly pertinent to the task prompt.

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
