structure
Ensure clear and logical structuring of paragraphs. Each paragraph should focus on a single main idea, supported by examples or further explanation.
introduction/conclusion
Introduction and conclusion should be clearly delineated, with the introduction setting out the subject, and the conclusion summarizing the main ideas and presenting a final thought or recommendation.
examples
Provide specific, concrete examples to support your main points. This strengthens your argument and demonstrates a deeper understanding of the topic.
task completion
For a complete response, make sure to fully address all parts of the prompt. Discuss both the problems caused by plastic waste and the measures that should be taken in a balanced manner.
coherence
Strive to articulate your ideas clearly and cohesively. Use linking words to connect ideas and paragraphs, and ensure that the essay flows logically from introduction to conclusion.
grammar/word choice
Pay attention to grammatical accuracy and word choice to enhance clarity and the overall professional quality of your writing. Frequent errors can distract from your message.

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
