About 2nd task in general writing

Post by dance »

Hi Ryan,

Hope you are doing very well. I have few doubts, and it would be great if you can clarify me.

1) Any essay that asks for agreeing or disagreeing the topic will be considered as an argument essay?

2) Any essay that says, " what is your opinion on this" ,or ask any type of question will be considered as Discussion essay ?

I will be waiting for your reply.

Take care.

Mainly, they will look for Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Task response shows that, you covered all the points related with the topic. The style of connecting the paragraph and sentences are includes in Coherence and Cohesion. Grammatical Range and Accuracy means, the spelling and grammar of your sentences.
