Some people think that all lawbreakers should be taken into prison. In contrast, others believe there are better alternatives (for example, doing work or learning skills in the community). Discuss both views and give your opinion.

task achievement
There's a good attempt to discuss both views and provide a personal opinion, but providing more specific examples would enhance the argumentation and clarity of the essay. Try to use concrete instances or statistics to support your standpoint or illustrate the points you are discussing.
coherence cohesion
Focusing on improving the essay structure can further enhance the logical flow and clarity. Consider using clear paragraphs to separate and distinguish your points. Start with an introduction that clearly outlines the essay's direction, develop each argument in its own paragraph, and conclude by summarizing the discussion and reiterating your opinion.
coherence cohesion
To increase coherence and cohesion, work on linking words and phrases. Employ transitional phrases like 'Furthermore,' 'On the other hand,' or 'Consequently' to create a smoother transition between ideas and paragraphs. This will help your essay to flow more naturally.

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
