task achievement
To improve task achievement, ensure that your essay directly addresses all parts of the question more clearly. Further elaborate on why this development is negative or positive by adding distinct reasons and expanding on them with examples that link back to the question more directly.
coherence cohesion
For better coherence and cohesion, work on creating a smoother transition between paragraphs and within paragraphs as well. Using a variety of linking words can help to make these transitions more natural and improve the overall flow of your essay.
lexical resource
Your essay would benefit from a broader range of vocabulary specifically related to the topic, and more complex sentence structures to convey your points more effectively. This will not only improve your task achievement but can also positively impact your coherence and cohesion score.

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.
