Coherence and Cohesion
To improve the logical structure, ensure your essay has a clear introductory sentence for each paragraph that outlines the main point. This will help guide the reader and make the progression of ideas smoother.
Coherence and Cohesion
The introduction and conclusion are present but could be strengthened. The introduction should clearly state your main points, while the conclusion should effectively summarize the essay without introducing new information.
Coherence and Cohesion
Support your main points with more specific examples or evidence. Rather than general statements, use concrete examples or cite relevant data to back up your arguments. This will make your essay more persuasive and impactful.
Task Achievement
Ensure you address the task completely by fully discussing both sides of the issue and by providing a relevant conclusion that resonates with the discussion in the body paragraphs. Partially incomplete responses can affect your score.
Task Achievement
Strive to present clear and comprehensive ideas by developing each point thoroughly. Make sure each paragraph focuses on a single idea, and expand on it with detailed explanations and examples.
Task Achievement
Incorporate more relevant and specific examples to support your arguments. These examples should be directly linked to the points you're making and should not be generic. Personal examples can be used but ensure they are relatable and reinforce your argument.

Your opinion

Don’t put your opinion unless you are asked to give it.

If the question asks what you think, you MUST give your opinion to get a good score.

Don’t leave your opinion until the conclusion.

Here are examples of instructions that require you to give your opinion:

...do you agree or disagree?...do you think...?...your opinion...?
