aged, with separate para-
graphs
for the introduction,
the two main arguments in the
body, and the conclusion.

effortlessly due to the use
of reference words such as
‘these’, which allows the writing

flow without unnecessary
repetition.

Ideas are relevant, fully ex-
tended and well supported.
The candidate provides two
clear ways in which increased
internet usage is ‘bridging
gaps between individuals and
cultures’.
Each is extended
and supported with examples
(strengthening family relation-
ships) or effects (serving as a
catalyst for social and political
change).
