task achievement

However, there are some minor language inaccuracies and awkward phrasing that slightly impact clarity. Consider revisiting some sentences to ensure they are concise and clear.

While your essay is logically structured, some points could be more clearly connected to enhance readability. Using more transitional phrases and ensuring each idea flows smoothly from one to the next can improve coherence.
introduction conclusion present
Your essay has a clear introduction and conclusion, which helps in neatly framing your argument.
relevant specific examples
You provide relevant examples, such as the mention of Japan and Scotland, to support your points, 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
