Student answer (Band 5.0)

Individuals are becoming interested to find out the history of home or building in many countries , where they live in. Sometimes humans are very possesive to what they have and they interested to know more about it.

Furthermore, the peoples who lived in their own houses for a long time always their childrens have a curosity to know about everything of their family histoty and mos of the time they have one question in their how my grandfather built this home , So they decide to search about the histoty on internet.

Moreover, Sometimes childrens have a doubt about any old building sometimes they have interest and sometimes they need because if any emigrant has to book room or flat for one month first of all he want to knoe everything about flat building, and sometimes students also have dount about their school building.

For Example, when i was in my 11th and 12th, I carry a question about my school building because my school building since before british time in india and i searches on internet or youtube and ask about my school to ChatGPT or Gemini, So people have curosity to know about everything.

Some members of community is always search about old buildings when they lived because they seen these old building from their childhood and their mind create a question in their to know about those buildings .

I conclude that humans alwasy have curosity to search of find history of every building or home where they lived or work and study it doesn't matter what is age of this iniduvidual ,Sometimes they are childrens or adult and senior citizens.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions by suggesting reasons for interest—family curiosity, attachment to a home, and interest in old buildings—and by mentioning internet searches and asking AI tools. The school example also gives the response a personal illustration. However, the task is only partially developed: several points repeat the general idea of curiosity, while the research methods are barely explained. The reference to emigrants booking a flat and students wondering about a school building is not clearly connected to why people investigate a building’s history. To strengthen the response, explain distinct motivations and give practical research routes, such as checking property records, local archives, libraries, or speaking with previous owners and long-term residents.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has an opening, several body paragraphs, an example, and a concluding statement, so there is some visible organisation. However, the progression is difficult to follow because ideas are repeated and connections between them are often unclear. For example, the paragraph beginning “Moreover” moves from curiosity about old buildings to renting a flat and then to students’ doubts about their school. Linking words such as “Furthermore,” “Moreover,” and “For Example” are used, but they do not always show a clear relationship between points. Some references, including “they” and “their,” have unclear antecedents. Group the reasons together, then explain research methods in a separate paragraph, using clear topic sentences and more precise links.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “history,” “building,” “community,” and “curiosity,” and you attempt to express ideas about family history and older properties. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, especially “curiosity” and “building.” Frequent spelling errors such as “possesive,” “curosity,” “histoty,” and “knowe” make the writing less clear and reduce the accuracy of your vocabulary. Some choices are also unnatural, such as “carry a question” and “search of find history.” Build a more precise set of topic phrases and check spelling carefully; for example, use “research a property’s past” and “feel attached to their home.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including a sentence beginning “Sometimes humans…” and a personal example about your school. However, complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors can make the reader work to understand the meaning. Examples include “the peoples who lived in their own houses for a long time always their childrens have a curosity,” where the clause structure and subject are unclear, and “Some members of community is always search,” which has problems with articles, agreement, and verb form. Articles, plurals, and tense are also inconsistent, as in “in my 11th and 12th” and “I searches.” Practise building complete sentences with one clear subject and verb, then check agreement and punctuation.
