Introduction
Consider a clearer and more detailed introduction that directly addresses all aspects of the question. While you've introduced the topic, making your stance and proposed solutions clearer from the beginning could enhance your essay's impact.
Support & Examples
Try to incorporate more specific examples to support your points. Adding real-life scenarios or statistical evidence can make your arguments more convincing and comprehensive.
Clarity
Work on the clarity of your arguments. Some sentences could be simplified or made more direct to effectively convey your ideas to the reader.
Terminology consistency
Review the essay for consistency in terminology. For example, the use of 'urban areas' and 'cities' can be confusing. Clarifying these terms can help in maintaining coherence throughout your essay.
Vocabulary
You have a good range of vocabulary which helps in expressing your ideas.
Structure
The essay structure is well-organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Content Balance
Effort to address both issues and solutions within the essay is commendable.

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
