task achievement
Consider enhancing your thesis statement to clearly indicate both sides of the discussion (why this trend is positive or negative) rather than just stating a preference. This will help to align your task response with the question prompt more effectively.
coherence and cohesion
Try to include linking words and phrases to improve the flow of ideas and ensure smoother transitions between sentences and paragraphs. This will also strengthen coherence.
task achievement
In your examples, aim to provide a bit more context or detail that establishes why personal trainers are a better option than traditional gyms or classes. This will help to support your points more comprehensively.
task achievement
Your choice of examples is relevant and helps illustrate your points well, especially the examples related to workplace training and personal gyms.
coherence and cohesion
Your introduction effectively outlines the main points you will discuss, providing a clear indication of what the essay will cover.

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
