The essay demonstrates very limited cohesion and coherence. There is no logical sequencing of ideas, and the use of cohesive devices is nonexistent or very limited.

Suggestions

• Use basic cohesive devices such as conjunctions, linking words, and referencing to improve the flow of your essay.
• Ensure each paragraph has a clear main idea that is developed logically.

The essay uses a very limited range of vocabulary, with almost no attempt to use more complex or varied language. The vocabulary used is also not appropriate for the task or is used incorrectly.

The essay shows very limited control of grammatical structures, with almost no use of subordinate clauses and frequent grammatical errors. Punctuation is either missing or incorrectly used.

The essay does not address the task at all. It provides no relevant information, facts, or examples.

Suggestions

• Read the prompt carefully and ensure that you understand what is being asked.
• Plan your essay by outlining your main ideas and then expand these ideas into a full essay.
• Stay on topic and make sure each paragraph contributes to answering the question.
