- how well your essay answers all parts and questions in the task
- whether you write exactly what you are asked to do (relevant ideas)
- whether ideas in your essay are fully developed
- whether your position is clear
- whether you have written a minimum number of words (250 for the essay)
The essay generally focuses on the task and answers both questions. The ideas are mostly relevant (on topic). On the whole, there are enough details to explain the ideas, which makes them supported and developed. However, there are some too general or irrelevant parts, and that’s why the author’s position is not always clear and some ideas could be better explained.
Many students today prefer to play computer games rather than sports. Why do you think this is the case? What can be done?
Students play computer games around the world. It has become an enormous obsession and there are a lot of problems connected with it. In this essay, I’d like to say why this is happening and how we can change this situation.
There are several reasons for teenagers to play on a computer instead of doing sports. For one thing, virtual reality is obviosly more facinating, especially for young people. Bright colours, special effects, all those interactive glasses are really interesting. Also, unlike sports where you have to work hard to achieve something, in the virtual world everything possible: you can be hero or a monster, destroy city and build new, and there will be no bad situations after that. It’s hard not to play, really.
Even though computer games are so irresistible, they are not really helpful. First of all, young people often hear why games are bad from their parents and teachers, but I think it would be more better if we stress positive sides of sports instead. There should be more youtube videos showing benefits of sport for your body and mind, maybe with some celebrities. Also, it is important to help students to study better and get better marks. And, of course, we need much more free sport events for students.
To sum up, I think, teenagers prefer games over sports, because they are very interesting, and in games you can do things which are impossible in real life. However, I believe sports should be promoted by positive advertisment and free sport events.
- how logically your ideas are organised
- how well you organise your essay into paragraphs
- how effectively your ideas are linked
On the whole, this essay is well-organised, with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion.
Ideas are, generally, connected effectively, using: — linking words and phrases, such as For one thing, Also, First of all, but, of course, To sum up, However; — grammar structures, such as Even though computer games seem so irresistible, they are not really helpful; and some other ways to connect ideas. However, some parts could be organised more logically, and linking words and phrases could be used more appropriately: Also, And, To sum up, For one thing.

- whether you use a variety of vocabulary, including less common vocabulary
- how appropriately you use vocabulary
- whether the style of your language is appropriate
A variety of vocabulary is used, some of which is less common, for example: obviously more fascinating, interactive games special effects, the virtual world, irresistible, stress positive sides, showing benefits of sport. Vocabulary is generally appropriate for the task; however, there are some inappropriate uses: an enormous obsession, there will be no bad situations after that.
The style is mixed. Sometimes, it is formal and impersonal (There are several reasons for teenagers to play …, There should be more youtube videos showing …), but some language is informal: I’d like to say that, it’s hard not to play, really; and there are some examples of personal addressing.
There are some spelling mistakes.

- whether you use simple or complex structures
- how accurately you use simple and complex structures
There is a mix of simple and complex sentences. There are many complex sentences joined by and, but, because, even though, which, unlike, if; and complex grammatical structures that are used correctly (present tenses, passives, -ing forms, infinitives).
At the same time, there are some mistakes (for example, use of articles, verb forms, comparatives and some others), but the reader can still understand the meaning.
