Excerpts and links may be used, provided that full and clear credit is given to Writing9 with appropriate and specific direction to the original content.

grammar
Work on refining grammar and sentence structure, as there are some errors and awkward phrases that affect readability. For example, 'It's not only have a bad impact' should be 'It not only has a bad impact.'
introduction conclusion
Ensure that the introduction and conclusion are clearer in presenting your stance and summarizing the main points respectively. For instance, 'I agree with the given to a great extent' can be more effectively phrased as 'I strongly agree with the statement.'
cohesion
Improve coherence by connecting ideas more smoothly between and within paragraphs. Use transition words and phrases to guide the reader. For example, 'Firstly, the governments' can be better linked with the latter part through phrases such as 'In addition,' or 'Moreover.'
task response
The essay addresses the topic and makes a clear attempt to respond to the task by providing reasons and examples.
examples
The main points are relevant and adequately supported by examples, like the example of cannabis legalization in the Netherlands.
logical structure
There is a logical progression of ideas, and the argument is generally easy to follow.

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
