coherence cohesion
To improve your score, ensure that your essay has a clear introduction and conclusion that effectively outline and summarize your opinions and arguments. Use a range of linking words to connect ideas smoothly.
task achievement
Ensure that your essay comprehensively addresses all parts of the task prompt. Clearly present your opinions, support them with specific examples, and provide a balanced discussion of both views before summarizing your own stance in the conclusion.

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
