The essay needs more clarity and development in its main points. Ensure each paragraph clearly supports your argument with concrete examples and clear explanations.
coherence cohesion
Work on creating paragraphs that flow seamlessly from one to another. Use linking words and phrases to connect ideas more coherently.
coherence cohesion
There's a need for a better introduction. It should briefly mention both sides of the argument, even if you predominantly agree with one side. Also, the conclusion should briefly recap the main points discussed.
language
Grammatical errors and typos distract the reader and sometimes make the meaning unclear. Pay closer attention to grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.
language
Some parts of the essay seem repetitive. Aim for a broader range of vocabulary and sentence structures to make your writing more engaging.
task achievement
The writer has expressed their viewpoint and attempted to support it with reasons, which is a good start.
coherence cohesion
The essay has an introduction and a conclusion, which is important for the structure.
task achievement
The writer attempts to use examples, such as in the paragraph about people using the subway and bicycles in the city. Specific examples strengthen arguments.

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
