task response
State your view in a clear way and keep it the same from start to end. You agree, but the last part says there are both good and bad points. Say clearly that the good points are much greater.
task response
Develop each main idea. Explain how one world language helps travel, study, and work. Then explain why the loss of small languages is a bad thing, but why it is less serious than the good points.
task response
Use clear, real examples. For example, say that a student can study in another country or a worker can speak to people from many places in English.
coherence and cohesion
Use a simple four-part plan: introduction, one paragraph on good points, one paragraph on bad points, and conclusion. Keep one main idea in each body paragraph.
coherence and cohesion
Some sentences are not complete or are hard to understand. Write shorter sentences with a clear subject and verb. For example: 'English can help people travel more easily.'
coherence and cohesion
Link ideas in a direct way. Use words such as 'First', 'For example', 'However', 'As a result', and 'In conclusion'. Do not add ideas that do not clearly support the main point.
task response
You answer both sides of the question: the good points of English and the possible loss of other languages.
coherence and cohesion
Your essay has an introduction, body parts, and an ending, and you use linking words such as 'First of all', 'On the other hand', and 'Overall'.
