coherence cohesion
You've structured your essay well, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. However, to strengthen your coherence and cohesion, ensure each paragraph has a clear central idea that is expressly stated in the first sentence. Also, consider using a wider range of linking phrases to connect your ideas more smoothly.
task achievement
To improve task response, make sure your essay addresses all parts of the prompt effectively. While you've covered the main points, enhancing the detail and depth of your arguments with more specific examples and data will strengthen your response. Moreover, ensure that your opinion is clearly stated and consistently maintained throughout the essay.

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
