Some people think that telling the truth is not always essential. It is necessary to tell lies sometimes. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Telling the

Task Achievement
The essay provides a clear position throughout the response. However, the argument could be enhanced by a more nuanced discussion that examines both sides closely.
Coherence & Cohesion
Ideas are generally arranged logically, and there is an evident progression throughout the text. The use of cohesive devices is adequate, but transitions could be smoother and more sophisticated.
Task Achievement
While the essay does include examples, they could be more directly relevant and detailed to effectively support the argument. The use of specific evidence will strengthen the argument and clarity of your main points.
Coherence & Cohesion
Some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing are present, which hinders the clarity of your message. Proofreading and revision for language accuracy would benefit the essay.

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
