Task Achievement
Your essay addresses the prompt partially but lacks depth in exploring both views. To improve, ensure you give equal attention to discussing both perspectives before presenting your opinion. Expand on each point with more detailed examples and explanations.
Coherence & Cohesion
Your essay starts with an introduction and ends with a conclusion, which is good. However, to enhance coherence, make sure each paragraph starts with a clear topic sentence that signals the main idea. Additionally, try to use a variety of linking words and phrases to better connect your ideas. This will make your argument more persuasive and easier to follow.
