Task Response
For a clearer task response, ensure you address both aspects of the prompt effectively. While you've discussed why newness in products is emphasized and given your opinion on whether it's positive or negative, expanding on specific examples to support your points could elevate the answer. Try using more varied and detailed examples from real-life situations or hypothetical scenarios to illustrate your points more vividly.
Coherence and Cohesion
Your essay demonstrates a good structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. However, make sure each paragraph flows smoothly into the next. Transition words and phrases can help guide the reader through your argument more seamlessly. Incorporate phrases like 'Additionally,' 'Furthermore,' or 'Contrastingly,' where appropriate, to connect ideas more effectively.
Task Response
While you've introduced main points to support your argument, further elaboration and solid examples would strengthen your essay. Each main point could be enhanced by deeper analysis and more concrete evidence. When stating an argument, follow it up with a specific example or statistic, then analyze how this supports your overall point. This will make your arguments more convincing.
