task response
Appear to comprehend the essay topic incorrectly, having confused it with a task of describing a bar graph. Start by clearly understanding the question or topic provided. If it asks for an opinion, ensure you construct your essay around that directive rather than presenting data or information unrelated to the question.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay lacks a logical flow and appropriate paragraphing that efficiently guide the reader through your argument or narrative. Work on structuring your essay into clear paragraphs, including an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Each paragraph should focus on a single main idea, supported by examples or further explanation.
