Task Achievement
Your essay presents a clear overall argument, but the ideas could be more fully developed and supported with stronger evidence or examples. To improve, consider expanding on your main points with more detailed explanations and including specific examples or data to support your argument.
Coherence & Cohesion
To enhance the coherence and cohesion of your essay, focus on creating smoother transitions between paragraphs and ensuring each paragraph focuses on a single main idea. Using topic sentences at the beginning of each paragraph can help guide the reader through your argument more effectively.
Structure
You did well in introducing the topic and providing a conclusion that summarises your main points. This structure is important for guiding the reader through your discussion.
Task Response
Your essay acknowledges multiple perspectives on the issue, which demonstrates your ability to consider different viewpoints. This adds depth to your argument.

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
