Most high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 percent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women. To what extent do you agree? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

coherence cohesion
Work on logical structure to ensure that each paragraph flows smoothly into the next. It seems like there's a jump between the idea of historical discrimination and the practical implementation of quotas.
coherence cohesion
Introduction and conclusion are both present, which is good. However, make sure the conclusion clearly summarizes the main points raised in the essay.
task achievement
Your main points are generally supported, but there could be more concrete examples. For instance, you could mention specific companies or countries where quotas have been implemented successfully.
task achievement
You have a clear response to the task and have addressed both sides of the argument to some extent. However, expanding on the negative aspects of quotas with more specific examples could strengthen your argument.
task achievement
You did well to address the complicated issue of gender quotas in the workplace and provided a balanced viewpoint, considering both the advantages and potential drawbacks.
coherence cohesion
Good job including an introduction and conclusion, which frame the essay and provide a sense of completeness.
