Introduction & Conclusion Enhancement
While your essay introduces the topic and concludes adequately, you could benefit from a clearer thesis statement that explicitly states your main points. This could significantly improve the introduction and conclusion's effectiveness.
Logical Structure Improvement
Your logical structure is generally effective, but some paragraphs seem to lack clear topic sentences. Start each body paragraph with a concise topic sentence that outlines the paragraph's main idea.
Example Specificity & Relevance
Your essay demonstrates good use of examples, but to elevate your score even further, ensure that these examples are specifically linked to the argument you are making in each paragraph. Add more specific examples or elaborate on the given ones to bolster your arguments.
Task Completion
For task achievement, ensure that you're fully answering all parts of the question. Your essay does address the given topic, but try to explore each part of the prompt in more depth. Provide a more balanced discussion on both reasons for overtime and employer actions.
