Task Response
(for Task 2)

5

You need to use formal register in academic writing.

Asking your readers questions to introduce a topic is too informal. Instead of saying you would look at both sides of argument at the end of your intro, gain more marks by indicating what your opinion is.

At the end of each Main Body paragraph, you need a clear concluding sentence. All your opinions/statements should be in the main body. Conclusion is where you sum up everything you have already mentioned.

You mustn’t express any new ideas in the conclusion.

Coherence & Cohesion

5.5

From your topic sentence to the supporting statements to the concluding sentence, you must let these flow.

Do not end a paragraph in the middle of an example.
No other major issues under this category. Your paragraphing needs to improve.

Lexical Resource

6

You use an adequate range of vocabulary including some idioms (broaden one’s horizon).

Keep up the good work. Pay attention to collocations: SOCIAL COHESION. These two words go together.
Do not use only COHERSION when you mean social cohesion. Do not add PERIOD OF to In the ancient time. Incorrect use of collocations would lose your marks here.

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

5

You use a range of simple and complex sentence structures, however, the latter tend to contain grammatical mistakes.

Run the sentences through in your head first before you write them down.

Pay attention to your ARTILES: a, an, the, and there are times when you do not need an article. Mind your singular/plural nouns as well.
