Language
Work on improving grammar and sentence structure. To enhance clarity, pay attention to subject-verb agreement, punctuation, and word choice, which might help avoid ambiguity in the arguments presented.
Content Development
Elaborate more on each point you make. Providing more detailed examples and explaining the reasoning behind them could strengthen the essay’s arguments, making them more persuasive and insightful.
Coherence and Cohesion
Ensure a stronger link between paragraphs to maintain the logical flow of arguments. Using appropriate linking words or phrases can help connect ideas more fluidly and improve the overall cohesion of your essay.
Task Response
You have presented a clear opinion on the topic and consistently supported it throughout the essay. This gives your response a strong focus and ensures alignment with the task requirements.
Task Response
The introduction and conclusion are well-structured, aligning with IELTS essay format expectations, which helps in effectively framing your arguments and providing a coherent start and end to your discussion.
Task Response
You provided a personal example which is relevant and demonstrates a thoughtful engagement with the topic.

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
