Spelling and Typing Errors
Ensure your essay is carefully proofread for minor spelling or typographical errors to maintain the highest level of coherence. For instance, 'whitout' should be 'without', and 'phisical' should be 'physical'.
Sentence Variety
Though your points are clear, integrating more varied and complex sentence structures could further strengthen your essay and potentially improve your score.
Specific Examples
While your examples are relevant, adding more specific instances or data could provide stronger support for your ideas, enhancing the impact of your essay.
Balanced Discussion
You effectively discussed both sides of the argument and provided a clear personal perspective, which is excellent for task achievement.
Introduction and Conclusion
Your introduction and conclusion are well-defined, providing a clear framework for your essay.

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
