structure
Ensure that your essay has a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Your introduction should clearly present your main argument. Your body paragraphs should each contain one main idea with supporting sentences that are relevant. Finally, your conclusion should summarize the main points without introducing new information.
coherence cohesion
Work on developing paragraph structure by starting with topic sentences that introduce the main idea of each paragraph. Follow this with supporting details and examples. Use cohesive devices appropriately to connect ideas within and between paragraphs.
task response
Take care to address the prompt directly throughout the essay. Explicitly state whether you agree or disagree with the statement and provide clear arguments to back up your stance. Include specific examples to illustrate your point of view.
language
Pay attention to your grammar and vocabulary. Use a variety of sentence structures and vocabulary to express your ideas more precisely and fluently.
development
To improve your score, try to develop your ideas more fully by explaining and illustrating them with more detailed examples. Also, make sure that the examples you provide are directly relevant to the question prompt.

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
