task achievement
Make sure to refine your introduction to clearly state your stance more definitively. You might want to remove any ambiguous phrases such as 'I particularly agree with this statement' and state your agreement clearly.
coherence and cohesion
In your paragraphs, try to connect ideas using linking words more effectively to enhance the flow of your argument. Terms like 'Furthermore,' 'Moreover,' or 'Additionally' can help emphasize your points.
task achievement
Provide more specific examples to strengthen your arguments. For instance, mentioning a specific online learning platform or a particular group of students can help illustrate your points more vividly.
coherence and cohesion
It would be beneficial to refine your grammar and vocabulary use. For example, phrases like 'economy time' should be 'save time', and 'realise live interaction' could be rephrased to 'facilitate live interaction'.
content
You present a balanced argument acknowledging both online and traditional learning, which shows critical thinking.
coherence and cohesion
The essay structure is clear, with distinct paragraphs for different points, making it easy to follow your argument.
Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
