coherence cohesion
Make sure that your introduction clearly addresses the question and gives the reader an outline of what to expect in the essay ahead. Also, work on creating stronger topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph to guide the reader through your arguments more effectively.
task achievement
For task achievement, ensure that you directly address both parts of the question: discussing the reliability of online information, and suggesting specific measures for controlling it. Expand on the measure you propose by explaining how it can be implemented and by whom.

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
