Flynn has demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the content and text type. The discussion has been adequately structured with both sides of the argument presented. Ideas have been supported with examples, and a justified conclusion has been made, but one piece of evidence supposedly against the topic is actually an argument in favour of it. Simple sentences have been used but there are a variety of time connectives and paragraph starters.
