General
Consider diversifying your vocabulary and sentence structures to make your essay more engaging. Incorporating a wider range of expressions and complex sentences can add depth to your arguments.
Task Achievement
In your introduction, clearly state your position on the issue to provide a solid foundation for your argument. This helps in making your viewpoint clear from the beginning.
Task Achievement
To strengthen your argument, provide more specific examples and evidence. While you have included some examples, adding more detailed instances or data could greatly enhance your essay's persuasiveness.
Coherence and Cohesion
Work on linking your ideas more smoothly between paragraphs. Using a variety of cohesive devices effectively can improve the flow of your essay and make your points more coherent.
Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure that your conclusion succinctly summarizes your main points and restates your position. This reinforces your argument and provides a clear ending to your 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
