Use a wider range of cohesive devices and paragraphing to present ideas logically and coherently. The current structure could benefit from clearer topic sentences at the start of each paragraph and more explicit linking between the main points and the thesis statement.
task achievement
Support your main points with more specific and relevant examples to strengthen your argument. While you have mentioned general positives and negatives of online education, offering real-life scenarios or statistics can make your points more persuasive and grounded.
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.
