Task Achievement
To improve Task Achievement, ensure you answer all parts of the prompt clearly. Your essay should clearly state whether you believe drug companies should make their products available at reduced prices in poor countries. Provide specific reasons and examples to support your point.
Coherence and Cohesion
To enhance Coherence and Cohesion, focus on organizing your ideas more logically. Start with an introduction that presents your opinion. Then, use separate paragraphs for each of your main points, and use connecting words to guide the reader through your argument. Finish with a conclusion that summarizes your opinion and the reasons behind it.
General Advice
Consider revising your essay for grammatical accuracy and clarity. Frequent grammatical errors can make your argument difficult to follow. Reading your essay out loud or using a grammar checker can help identify and correct these issues.

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
