Task Achievement
Aim to offer more specific, real-life examples to support your arguments. While general statements are informative, detailed anecdotes or statistics could make your points more compelling and credible.
Task Achievement
Check for spelling and grammatical errors such as 'well knonw' which should be 'well known', and 'their communities has' which should be 'their communities have'. Additionally, watch for minor errors with articles ('a number of unemployed and disabled people' could simply be 'several unemployed and disabled people') that can distract from the overall clarity of your message.
Coherence and Cohesion
To improve coherence, be consistent in your essay's point of view. Switching from 'their' to 'our' or 'we' can confuse readers. Staying consistent helps maintain a coherent voice throughout the essay.
Coherence and Cohesion
Including transition phrases can aid in the flow of your essay, improving connectivity between sentences and paragraphs. Consider incorporating transitions such as 'Furthermore,' 'Additionally,' 'Moreover,' or 'On the contrary,' to signal shifts in ideas or to add information.

Your opinion

Here are examples of instructions that require you to give your opinion:
