Structure
Try to structure your essay more clearly by using paragraphs to separate your ideas. Begin with an introduction, then have at least one paragraph for each main point, and end with a conclusion.
Grammar
Be careful with the use of punctuation and avoid run-on sentences. Use commas, periods, and conjunctions correctly to make your sentences clear.
Spelling
Pay attention to spelling and try to avoid simple errors. For example, 'bycycle' should be 'bicycle,' and 'card' should be 'cars'.
Sentence Variety
Work on sentence variety to make your writing more engaging. Avoid starting sentences with 'Moreover,' 'Firstly,' etc., repetitively. Instead, use a mix of complex and simple sentences to express your points.
Paragraph Development
Make sure to develop your paragraphs with clear main ideas and supporting details. Each paragraph should focus on a single main idea that supports your overall argument.
Supporting Examples
You provided specific examples to support your arguments, which strengthens your essay.
Conclusion
Your conclusion effectively summarizes your viewpoint, showing clear personal engagement with the topic.

Your opinion

Don’t put your opinion unless you are asked to give it.

If the question asks what you think, you MUST give your opinion to get a good score.

Don’t leave your opinion until the conclusion.

Here are examples of instructions that require you to give your opinion:

...do you agree or disagree?...do you think...?...your opinion...?
