Task Achievement
Your essay addresses the task effectively, offering a clear response to the problems and solutions associated with older and younger people competing for the same jobs. However, providing more specific examples or evidence to support your arguments could strengthen your essay further.
Coherence and Cohesion
While the essay is well-organized, a few minor grammatical errors and awkward phrases slightly affect the flow. For example, 'resguard' should be 'safeguard' and 'achieve an egalitarian balance' might be better stated as 'achieve a fair balance.' Such refinements would enhance clarity and naturalness.
Introduction
Your introduction is strong; it sets the context well and clearly outlines what the essay will cover.
Conclusion
The conclusion effectively summarizes the main points and reinforces your argument, giving the essay a strong ending note.

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
