coherence cohesion
Your essay lacks clear structure, with no discernible paragraphs or logical progression of ideas. To improve, structure your essay with an introduction, at least two supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion.
coherence cohesion
Introduction and conclusion need clear and direct statements related to the essay question. Your introduction is vague and the conclusion does not succinctly summarise your points or answer the question directly.
coherence cohesion
Your main points are present but not well-developed or supported. Expand on your ideas and provide more clear and detailed explanations or examples to support your points.
task achievement
Your response sometimes addresses the task but often remains superficial and undeveloped. Respond directly to all parts of the question and offer a balanced view on the advantages and disadvantages with stronger arguments and clearly separated paragraphs.
task achievement
Your ideas would benefit from being explored more comprehensively with clearer and more precise language. Avoid using words or phrases that are off-topic and focus on directly answering the question.
task achievement
Specific examples are needed to illustrate your points more clearly. Ensure that examples are directly relevant to the topic and provide evidence or anecdotes to back up your claims.
