task response
Make your main view clear in the first part. Say that schools should teach both school subjects and life skills, and explain why this is the best choice.
task response
Give clear life-skill ideas, such as how to manage money, cook simple food, use time well, or stay safe. Then explain how each skill helps children in real life.
task response
Develop each main point more. Your point about children’s behavior is too short. Show how life skills can help children become more ready for adult life.
task response
Use examples that clearly support your point. The examples about schools in Saudi Arabia and PNU are hard to understand and do not show why one view is better.
coherence and cohesion
Use a simple four-part plan: introduction, first main idea, second main idea, conclusion. Your essay has this shape, but the ideas inside each part need a clearer order.
coherence and cohesion
Start each body part with one clear main sentence. Then add an explanation and one example. This will help the reader follow your ideas.
coherence and cohesion
Use linking words in the right way. For example: “On the one hand” and “On the other hand” are good, but do not repeat your view again in a short new part before the conclusion.
coherence and cohesion
Make your conclusion match your introduction. Do not say “although” with “but” in the same sentence. You can write: “In conclusion, I believe schools should teach life skills as well as academic subjects.”
task response
You answer both sides of the topic and give your own view.
coherence and cohesion
You use an introduction, body parts, and a conclusion, so the essay has a clear overall shape.
coherence and cohesion
You try to use linking phrases such as “For example”, “On the one hand”, and “In conclusion”.
Fully explain your ideas
