coherence cohesion
Make sure to provide a clear introduction that outlines what your essay will cover without mixing details about the sites. Use appropriate paragraphing to separate your descriptions of S1 and S2.

Develop your main points with clearer, more comprehensive descriptions of each potential site, mentioning more specific elements from the map and considering the implications of each feature for the shoppers or the city.
task achievement
Provide specific examples or reasoning as to why certain features in the map might impact the suitability of the mall site. This could involve discussing the proximity to other city areas, transport links, or potential environmental impacts.
