task achievement
Your essay attempts to address the prompt and provides several points against physical punishment effectively. However, there are instances where the arguments could be more developed or clearer. For example, phrases like 'not just in terms of physical actions that are included but in mental terms are also contained here' are vague and could be more explicitly connected to the main argument.
coherence cohesion
Your essay has a structure with an introduction, body paragraphs with main points, and a conclusion. However, some transitions between ideas could be smoother. For example, the move between discussing general impacts of physical punishment to examples from Asian and European countries is abrupt. Consider using clear linking phrases and ensuring each paragraph develops a single clear idea systematically.
