Feedback

Task Achievement

  • Response to the Prompt: The essay addresses the prompt by discussing both the advantages and disadvantages of taking risks in professional and personal lives. However, the response could be more comprehensive. The essay is slightly under the required word count of 250 words, which may limit the depth of the argument.
  • Position: Your position is clear; you believe the advantages of taking risks outweigh the disadvantages. However, this could be more explicitly stated in the introduction and conclusion to strengthen your argument.

Coherence and Cohesion

  • Organization: The essay is organized into clear paragraphs, each focusing on a specific point. However, the transition between ideas could be smoother. For example, using linking words or phrases like "Moreover," "Additionally," or "Conversely" could help guide the reader through your argument.
  • Cohesion: Some sentences could be better connected. For instance, the transition from discussing learning opportunities to the example of changing jobs could be more fluid.

Lexical Resource

  • Vocabulary: The vocabulary used is appropriate but could be more varied to demonstrate a wider range of language. For example, instead of repeating "taking risks," you might use synonyms like "embracing uncertainty" or "venturing into the unknown."
  • Word Choice: Be cautious with word choice. For example, "benefitial" should be "beneficial."

Grammatical Range and Accuracy

  • Grammar: The essay contains some grammatical errors that could be improved. For instance, "Taking risks is an inevitable aspects" should be "Taking risks is an inevitable aspect."
  • Sentence Structure: Some sentences are awkwardly structured. For example, "it is obvious that taking any steps or actions in life is comes with some danger" should be revised to "it is obvious that taking any steps or actions in life comes with some danger."
