We would be looking at the evaluation criteria of essays and letters. The post will also consist of a sample essay and letter for your reference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before, we discuss the evaluation criteria let&#8217;s understand the purpose of conducting this exam.

These are the exact traits tested by the descriptive writing section.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Essay Writing:<\/span>\u00a0It tests you on your ability to organize and structure thoughts &amp; ideas. It requires good writing skills and imagination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Letter Writing:<\/span> It tests your ability to put across your thoughts in a succinct manner. It also tests your ability to carry out effective written communication within the organisation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_letters_and_essays_evaluated\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How are letters and essays evaluated?<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although there is no set criteria according to which the descriptive section paper is evaluated, there are some common things that are examined by the evaluator. For most banking exams, the descriptive section is evaluated manually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Content:\u00a0<\/strong>The examiner would see whether\u00a0aspects of the topic have been addressed in the essay and if provided details, examples and explanations are appropriately supporting the candidate&#8217;s point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Formal Requirement:\u00a0<\/strong>As the paper is descriptive in nature there are certain requirements that must be fulfilled by the answers. For letters, the format must be strictly adhered to. Although extra marks might not be awarded for the format\/ structure, an absence of it might cause a reduction in your marks. For letter writing, stick to the prescribed formats of formal and informal letters. For essays, make sure the word limit (if any) is not exceeded. Also, make sure that the essay is in paragraph form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Development, Structure and Coherence:\u00a0<\/strong>How well the topic has been understood and explained is the main criteria for evaluating any piece of descriptive writing. The examiner sees whether there are any examples given, what is the range of thoughts\/ ideas presented and how logically they are penned down. The following might be the few things an examiner is looking for in your piece of writing:-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does each paragraph contain just one idea or concept?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does the\u00a0evidence support the writer&#8217;s\u00a0argument?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does this paper have a beginning (introduction), a middle (body), and an end (conclusion)?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Post Your Essay\u00a0| Get It Evaluated By\u00a0Peers\u00a0Here<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Grammar:<\/strong>\u00a0This is also a very important criterion. An essay may be logically presented, it may have a variety of ideas, but if the grammar is bad, it makes the entire essay &#8216;not so good&#8217;. Examiners don&#8217;t expect complex sentences. Just make sure you create correct and straightforward sentence structures and convey your thoughts effectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does this paper have proper punctuation?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does the author provide complete sentences?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does this paper have consistent verb tense, voice, and third-person usage? (essays are generally written in the third person)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Vocabulary &amp; Spelling:\u00a0<\/strong>Again we would like to clarify that a test taker is not expected to use &#8220;high &#8211; fi&#8221; English words. As long as you have the right word for an idea, that&#8217;s good. A simple example of this would be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you want to say &#8220;very good&#8221;, say &#8220;excellent&#8221;.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also, avoid spelling mistakes as they point to a careless attitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Here, we would like to mention one important thing: Time Management. Make sure you divide your time as per the weightage of the question. Since an essay has higher marks, allot more time to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Post Your Essay, Get It Evaluated By\u00a0Peers\u00a0Here<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Good_Sample_Essay_With_Analysis\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>A Good (Sample) Essay: With Analysis<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Technology has highly evolved over time. In fact, nowadays almost everybody has some sort of machine at hand, be it computers, cars, or even washing machines. But although machinery was devised to benefit mankind, it has also brought along many flaws to match. <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>[ The topics is introduced and developed in this paragraph. The writer talks about both, the good and the bad aspects. This not only indicates knowledge of the topic but will also help him present a &#8220;range of ideas&#8221; in the subsequent paragraphs. ]<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Firstly, when it comes to technological equipment such as computers, disruption most often arises between the person using the computer, and the household he or she is surrounded by or living with. For example, many old family traditions such as eating meals with your relatives at the dining table seldom take place now that one of the family members might be too busy working on his Mac. laptop. Thus, family values and morals have changed in order to adapt to this technological age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/edge\/?ref=ref=b-20-10-ba2&amp;next=https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/myaccount\/buypayu\/ibpsmb.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-63339 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Prelog-mobile-1.png\" alt=\"ibps moneyback course oliveboard\" width=\"676\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Secondly, having many kinds of machinery at hand is not only destroying family traditions but is also very harmful to our environment. Many people are careless about allowing their car engines to run haphazardly, or leaving their laptops on for long periods of time, however, they do not seem aware of the fact that all this energy and electricity consumption is dangerous to not only our local environment but to the world as a whole. Additionally, it is the over-usage of machinery, big or small that is bringing our society ever closer to Global Warming, and we must stop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> As mentioned in the introduction, technological equipment was never programmed to damage nature per se, but to help people all around the globe. Now that nuclear families aren\u2019t as closely intact compared to the 1950s or 1990s, technology has given us an alternative method to keep in touch with our relatives, thanks to computer applications such as Skype, or even cell phone applications such as VIBER or WhatsApp. Machinery has most definitely done wonders in our lives, and we as people should be grateful to easily possess cars, and\/or phones when poorer countries do not even have the chance to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>In the above three paragraphs, the usage of pointers, such as &#8216;firstly&#8217; and &#8216;secondly&#8217; shows the logical cohesiveness of the essay. The writer has developed each supporting point richly by using examples and connected the ideas together so that the essay reads smoothly.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> However, with all the advantages machinery has brought to us all, I personally believe that possessing too many cars or phones, or even consuming too much of their energy and battery, is beginning to get out of hand and needs to be controlled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Note that the writer has also, made a conclusion.
