Coherence & Cohesion
Your essay presents a clear introduction and conclusion, showing a logical progression of ideas. However, it would benefit from more precise linking between those ideas and paragraphs to enhance readability.
Coherence & Cohesion
Try to diversify your transitions and linking phrases to avoid repetition and create a more sophisticated flow between sentences and paragraphs.
Task Achievement
Your response to the task is somewhat complete but lacks depth in examples and exploration of the topic. Consider expanding on your points with more detailed illustrations and a broader range of arguments.
Task Achievement
Incorporate more specific examples and evidence to support your advantages and disadvantages. This will make your arguments stronger and more convincing to the reader.
Structure
Effective introduction and conclusion that outline your argument well.
Content
Good attempt at discussing both sides of the argument, providing a balanced view.

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
