supported main points
Ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea, followed by an explanation or an example that supports that idea. The second body paragraph, while introducing an important concept (the role of bees in ecosystems), does not provide specific examples or detailed support for its importance.
logical structure
The essay's structure is generally logical, but transitions between ideas should be smoother, and the thematic links between paragraphs could be clearer. Use phrases that clearly signal the beginning of new ideas and the connections between them.
introduction conclusion present
While the introduction and conclusion are present, they can be made stronger. The introduction should more precisely paraphrase the question and set up the structure of the essay. The conclusion could better summarize the main points and present a stronger personal opinion.
complete response
Your response to the task is complete, but for a higher score, ensure that your discussion of both sides of the argument is more balanced and in-depth. Also, be sure to develop your own opinion with specific reasons and clear articulation.
clear comprehensive ideas
Ideas within paragraphs are clear but could be more developed with comprehensive explanations and arguments. Make sure to fully explore the implications of each point, so the reader understands your reasoning completely.
relevant specific examples
Your essay lacks specific examples to support arguments effectively. Use real-world examples or data to illustrate your points and make them more convincing and relevant.
