Coherence and Cohesion
Your essay has a clear introduction and conclusion which effectively frame your argument. However, each paragraph could benefit from clearer topic sentences to guide the reader through your points. Consider starting each main paragraph with a sentence that summarizes the key point you will discuss.
Task Achievement
While addressing the topic, it seems your essay could go further in exploring possible counterarguments or adding depth to the existing arguments for a more comprehensive response. Spend some time outlining how the economy benefits in more specific areas from longer working hours, or discuss more societal aspects that could be impacted.
Task Achievement
Be careful with grammar and vocabulary choices. Some sentences could be rephrased for clarity and precision. For example, instead of 'can brings many benefit,' you might say 'can bring many benefits.'
Coherence and Cohesion
Using transitional phrases between some sentences and ideas will enhance the logical flow of your essay. Look at the connections you are making and ask if adding transitional words would help your essay flow naturally. Terms like "furthermore," "on the contrary," or "as a result" can help.
Introduction
Your introduction does a good job at establishing the topic and setting up your viewpoint. It is concise and directly addresses the task prompt, which is exactly what you want to do in your opening paragraph.
Task Achievement
You've provided applicable examples to support your argument, such as the mention of Chinese work culture. Including specific examples is effective in demonstrating the practical implications of your points.
Conclusion
The conclusion ties back to your main points and reinforces your stance clearly, wrapping up your essay effectively.
