task achievement
Clarify your position clearly in the introduction. The prompt asks for your opinion on which has a greater influence, but your essay suggests you view them as equally influential without a clear stance. Make sure to clearly state your opinion to fulfill the task requirements.
task achievement
Use more specific examples to support your arguments. While you mentioned the role of media and politicians in general terms, incorporating specific, personal or widely recognized examples could strengthen your arguments and make your essay more persuasive.
coherence cohesion
Work on your essay structure to improve coherence. Each paragraph should have a clear main idea, supported by examples or explanations. Use transition words to connect ideas within and between paragraphs.
coherence cohesion
Review and correct grammatical errors and improve vocabulary choice to enhance readability. Correct use of grammar and a varied vocabulary can significantly impact the clarity and professionalism of your essay.

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.
