coherence cohesion
Maintain a consistent logical structure throughout the essay. Use topic sentences at the beginning of paragraphs to clearly state the main idea, followed by supporting sentences that provide further explanation or examples.

task achievement
Strive for clarity in expressing ideas. Avoid overly complex sentence structures or unclear phrasing. Aim for precision and simplicity in language use to ensure your ideas are comprehensible.
task achievement
Incorporate specific examples to support your claims. Use real-life instances, hypothetical situations or personal anecdotes to illustrate your points and make your arguments more compelling.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
