Language Complexity
Consider varying your sentence structure more to enhance readability and keep the reader engaged. While you are good at expressing your ideas, adding some complexity to your sentences could help demonstrate a higher command of the language.
Supporting Examples
To strengthen your argument, include more detailed examples or evidence. This could involve citing relevant studies or adding hypothetical scenarios that relate directly to your points, making your argument more convincing.
