The work was evaluated with a maximum of 20 points according to the criteria (up to 4 points each): volume (120-200 words); adherence to the structure of the text (clear compositional construction, internal logic); the presence of the author’s approach to the disclosure of the topic; argumentation of the thesis; language design of the essay.
