Structure
Try to balance the development of all parts of your essay equally. While your introduction and conclusion are strong, ensuring each body paragraph is fully developed will further improve your essay.

Consider varying your sentence structures more frequently to showcase a wider range of grammatical patterns and enhance the readability of your text.
Coherence
Incorporate a wider range of linking words and phrases to strengthen the connections between your ideas and paragraphs.
Task Response
While you've included examples, further elaboration or adding more precise examples could enhance the persuasiveness and depth of your argument.
Task Response
Your essay clearly presents a critical stance on the topic, effectively addressing the task's requirements.
Structure
You have successfully used an introductory and concluding paragraph to frame your argument, enhancing the overall structure of your essay.
Coherence
The main points are supported with reasoning, contributing to a logical flow of ideas.

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
