Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Writing9 with appropriate and specific direction to the original content.

Structure
Ensure you have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Introduce the topic and your viewpoint in the introduction, use the body paragraphs to support your argument with examples or evidence, and summarize your argument in the conclusion.
Content
Work on developing your arguments by providing more detailed examples. Using specific instances can enhance your argument's persuasiveness and relevance.
Coherence and Cohesion
Improve coherence and cohesion by using a wider range of linking devices. Effective use of connectors such as 'however', 'moreover', and 'therefore' can help the flow of your essay and make your argument clearer.
Coherence
Pay attention to the smoothness of transitions between paragraphs. Each paragraph should connect logically to the next, with clear topic sentences that introduce the main idea of each paragraph.

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
