## Sample Essay Review
For reference, here's how my review might look (abbreviated example):

### Executive Summary
Your essay presents a compelling argument about climate change mitigation strategies, with strong research support and clear organization. However, the thesis could be more specific, transitions between paragraphs need strengthening, and some technical terms require explanation for your target audience.
### Strengths
1. **Research Integration**: You effectively incorporate current scientific data, particularly in paragraphs 3-5, strengthening your credibility.
2. **Counter-argument Handling**: Your fourth section thoughtfully addresses opposing viewpoints without diminishing your position.
3. **Concrete Examples**: Your case studies from Denmark and Costa Rica provide tangible support for your theoretical points.
### Improvement Areas
1. **Thesis Specificity**: Your thesis statement ("Climate change requires immediate action") is too broad. Consider: "Implementing carbon taxation, renewable energy subsidies, and urban redesign represents the most economically viable approach to addressing climate change within the next decade."
2. **Technical Accessibility**: Terms like "carbon sequestration" and "albedo effect" need brief definitions for your general audience.
3. **Conclusion Impact**: Your conclusion summarizes but doesn't inspire action. Consider ending with implications or a call-to-action.
