The strongest aspect is that you clearly state your position in response to the prompt. However, the response is extremely short at only 31 words, which is far below the 250-word minimum and prevents any development of your ideas. To improve, you must write a full essay consisting of an introduction, body paragraphs with supporting arguments, and a conclusion.
