Coherence & Cohesion
Your essay provides a recognized structure, but greater focus on transition phrases and coherent paragraphing would improve the logical flow.
Task Achievement
You present general ideas effectively, but fail to fully expand or illustrate these ideas with specific examples, which are often vague or insufficiently developed.

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
