Task Achievement
The essay partially addresses the prompt but doesn't fully develop all parts of the task, particularly the analysis of how the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A more balanced discussion with specific examples to support points is needed for higher band scores. Ensure that both sides are given equal consideration, with a clearer position maintained throughout the essay.
Coherence and Cohesion
The logical structure of your essay needs improvement. Some ideas seem disconnected and transitions between them are abrupt or missing. To score higher, use a range of cohesive devices and paragraphing to logically order and interlink your points. Furthermore, checking for typographical and grammatical errors can enhance the clarity of your message.

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
