introduction
The essay lacks a clear structure, as it starts with a very vague introduction without directly addressing the topic of the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad. It's crucial to begin with a clear thesis statement that directly responds to the question posed.
body
The body paragraphs are filled with placeholders (e.g., '---------------------------', 'Example:- ---------------'), which indicates that there are neither developed ideas nor specific examples. Concrete examples are essential for supporting your arguments and making your essay persuasive.
structure
There's a failure to clearly differentiate between the advantages and disadvantages of the topic. Your essay should have distinct sections that separately address the benefits and drawbacks to ensure the reader can easily follow your arguments.
conclusion
The conclusion is missing a summary of the arguments made, which leaves the essay without a clear resolution. Each essay should include a conclusion that summarizes the main points and reinforces your position on the topic.

Fully explain your ideas
