task response
You answer both sides and give your own view clearly. To make the answer stronger, explain each main point more fully. For example, show how home tools save time in a real home, or how a work message at night can cause stress.
task response
Your ideas are clear, but most are general. Add one or two short, real examples to make your points more full and more convincing.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay has a clear four-part plan: opening, one side, the other side, and ending. This makes it easy to follow.
coherence and cohesion
The links between ideas are clear. You can improve the flow by linking the last idea in each body part back to the main question, so the reader can see more clearly why life is easier or more hard.
coherence and cohesion
Avoid using a list of points only. After each point, add a short reason or result. This will make each paragraph feel more joined and complete.
task response
You discuss both views fairly and state your own view in the opening and ending.
task response
The points about fast contact, less home work, work stress, older people, and online safety all fit the topic well.
coherence and cohesion
Each paragraph has one clear main idea, and the order of ideas is easy to understand.
coherence and cohesion
Words such as “Firstly”, “Secondly”, “Furthermore”, and “In conclusion” help guide the reader through the essay.
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.
