introduction conclusion present
The essay lacks a clear introduction and conclusion that clearly state the writer's position. There's an attempt to include both, but they are not effectively formulated to present a strong argument on the topic. A more structured approach is needed.
logical structure
The essay does not form a strong logical structure. There are disconnected ideas and a lack of clear progression from one idea to the next. Cohesive devices are either missing or misused, leading to confusion.
supported main points
While the essay attempts to support the main points with arguments, the support is insufficient and the points are not well-developed. More detailed explanations and relevant examples would strengthen the argument.
complete response
The response does not completely address the task. The position taken by the writer is stated but not sufficiently developed or supported with clear and comprehensive ideas and relevant examples. The essay should address more aspects of the prompt in a detailed and nuanced way.
clear comprehensive ideas
The ideas presented in the essay are not clear and comprehensive. To improve, the essay needs to elaborate on the points with greater clarity, making sure the ideas presented directly address the essay prompt.
relevant specific examples
The use of specific examples is limited and not particularly relevant to the argument. Examples need to be clearly linked to the points being made and directly related to the topic at hand, enhancing the argument's strength.
