grammar vocabulary
Focus on refining your grammar and vocabulary. There are several grammar mistakes, such as subject-verb agreement issues ('smoking can produce lot of bad materials' should be 'smoking can produce a lot of bad materials'). Vocabulary could also be improved by using more advanced and varied words.
supporting evidence
Provide more examples and evidence to support your points. This would help in enhancing the quality of your arguments. Try to cite a variety of sources or hypothetical situations to strengthen your essay.
introduction conclusion
The introduction clearly states your opinion and the conclusion reiterates this well, providing a sense of closure.
main points clarity
The main points are generally clear and relate directly to the topic, showcasing a good understanding of the issue.

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
