Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related to science and technology. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Task Achievement
To improve task response, aim for more specific examples to underpin your arguments. While your essay discusses the topic broadly, grounding your points in concrete examples will strengthen your argument.
Coherence & Cohesion
For coherence and cohesion, consider refining your paragraph transitions. Using varied transitional phrases can enhance the flow of your essay, making your points more connected and easier for the reader to follow.
Language
Be mindful of spelling and grammar accuracy. Minor errors can distract from the overall clarity of your argument. A thorough proofreading session can greatly enhance your essay's readability.
Structure
You have provided a clear introduction and conclusion, effectively framing your essay's argument.
Task Response
Your essay showcases a good understanding of the topic, demonstrating the ability to engage with complex ideas and present a considered opinion.
Language
The essay benefits from a diverse range of sentence structures, contributing to its readability and interest.

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
