task achievement
Ensure consistency in your use of tense and pronouns. For example, 'some high schools insists' should be 'some high schools insist' and 'there students' should be 'their students.' Consistent use of tenses helps in achieving a more polished essay.
task achievement
Develop your main points further with more in-depth examples and explanations. For instance, you mentioned Japan's curriculum but didn't fully explain how these activities directly impact the students’ careers.
coherence cohesion
Organize your points into clear paragraphs to enhance the readability of your essay. For example, the introduction, body, and conclusion sections should be distinct.
coherence cohesion
Use linking words and phrases to connect your ideas smoothly. For example, 'Firstly' and 'Secondly' can be followed with transitions like 'Moreover' or 'Additionally' to improve the logical flow.
task achievement
Check for grammatical errors such as 'there' vs. 'their,' 'loose' vs. 'lose,' and sentence fragments which can disrupt the flow of your essay.
coherence cohesion
The essay has a clear introduction and conclusion, which frames your argument well.
task achievement
You have included a specific example from Japan, which strengthens your argument.

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
