Introduction & Conclusion
Work on developing a clear introduction and conclusion. The introduction should clearly state the topic and your position, while the conclusion should summarize key points and restate your opinion.
Logical Structure
Ensure that your essay has a logical flow of ideas. This can be achieved by using transition words and sentences that connect paragraphs and ideas together.
Developing Arguments
Support your main points with specific examples or evidence. This helps to strengthen your arguments and make them more convincing.
Task Response
Fully address the prompt by presenting a balanced view of advantages and disadvantages, and clearly express whether you believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, providing a rationale for your opinion.
Language Use
Remember to proofread your essay for grammar and spelling mistakes, and ensure that it has a formal tone appropriate for an academic essay.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
