introduction conclusion present
The essay attempts to address both the benefits and drawbacks of children caring for pets; however, it could benefit from a clearer and stronger introduction and conclusion that effectively paraphrase the prompt and tie the main ideas together.
logical structure
The essay has a basic structure and attempts to link ideas, but transitions could be smoother and the logical flow between sentences and paragraphs could be improved to enhance coherence.
supported main points
The main points are present, yet the supporting details and examples are quite general and lack specificity. The use of more precise and varied examples would help in substantiating the points being made.
complete response
You have completed the task by discussing both sides of the argument, but it would benefit from a more developed response that delves deeper into the nuances of the topic. Aim to provide a balanced discussion with well-developed ideas for both the benefits and drawbacks.
clear comprehensive ideas
Your task response displays understanding but is somewhat repetitive and lacks depth in some areas. Introduce more varied comprehensive ideas to showcase complexity in thinking.
relevant specific examples
While you mention examples, to achieve a higher band, you should provide specific, relevant examples that vividly illustrate the points and enhance the overall argument's persuasiveness.
