Pay careful attention to grammar and syntax to ensure clarity. For instance, 'countries likes London and the US' should be 'countries like the UK and the US.' Also, 'instill money in their country' should be 'bring money into their country.' Small errors like these can detract from the overall readability and professionalism of your essay.
coherence cohesion
Your essay can benefit from smoother transitions between ideas. Ensure that each paragraph flows logically from one to the next. For instance, starting your paragraphs with phrases like 'On one side of the argument' or 'Despite the above arguments' helps, but ensure each sentence within the paragraphs clearly connects to the main idea.
coherence cohesion
Your essay presents a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. This helps the reader follow your argument easily.
