task achievement
The essay demonstrates a basic level of understanding of the task, but the ideas are somewhat unclear and underdeveloped. To improve, ensure that the introduction clearly addresses the question, stating whether advantages or disadvantages are considered to outweigh the other. Main paragraphs should be structured carefully, each one presenting a single clear idea, supported by specific examples or evidence. A conclusion should summarise the main points and restate your position clearly. Try to ensure that each part of the task is addressed adequately for a complete response.
coherence cohesion
Coherence refers to the flow of ideas and cohesion to the 'glue' that holds sentences and paragraphs together. This essay's ideas do not flow logically, and the cohesion between them is weak, which makes it difficult to follow. To improve, plan the structure of your essay before writing, with a clear progression from introduction to body paragraphs to conclusion. Use a range of cohesive devices (e.g., conjunctions, pronouns, synonyms) to link sentences and ideas. Check that your paragraphs are well-organized, each starting with a topic sentence that introduces the main idea of the paragraph.
