Student answer (Band 5.0)

In this contemporary era, it is good to be socialised to make themselves updated. Some section of society say that socialise with their co- workers in the evening and weekends is a good thing to meet with them but others have their own opinion. i will be explicated the both the views in the upcoming peragraphs.

To begin with, make a good bond. meet with their coworker is good thing to sit with them is a good thing because they can make a good bond with eah others.Thus, they can make a good friends and discuss either their personal or finanacial proplem with them. Furthermore, they can make a fun during that time to do some fun activity and organise a party due to this they can reduce their stress either physically or work related as well.

On the other hand, other people support to other view, it can be problematic, due to this personal and working area can be interrupt because some time people can tease them for their personal matter in the office. So, people mental health can be effected. Moreover, they can become a hesitate person because if person has their own boundry so they become hebitual to communicate with under their boundry. So, they will only communicate under their comfort zone.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both views: the first body paragraph gives reasons to socialise with colleagues, while the second explains concerns about personal matters affecting work and people feeling uncomfortable. Your conclusion also indicates support for socialising while acknowledging the other view. However, the position is not fully clear or consistently explained: the opening says socialising is good, but the conclusion adds that “both notion has their own pros” without clearly stating how you balance them. Ideas such as reducing stress and being teased at work are relevant, but remain general and need a specific example or fuller explanation. To strengthen the response, explain the benefits and risks more precisely and state your own view directly.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, separate paragraphs for the two views, and a conclusion. “To begin with” and “On the other hand” help signal the change in perspective, so the reader can follow the broad organisation. However, progression within paragraphs is uneven: the first paragraph moves quickly from bonding to discussing personal or financial problems and then to stress relief, without clearly connecting these points. Some linking phrases are repetitive or awkward, and references such as “other area” in the conclusion are unclear. Use topic sentences that state each paragraph’s main point, then develop it in a logical sequence with clearer links between cause and effect.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some relevant vocabulary for the topic, including “co-workers,” “personal matter,” “stress,” and “comfort zone.” However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make the meaning difficult to follow, such as “make a good friends,” “support to other view,” and “be update.” Spelling errors, including “finanacial,” “proplem,” and “boundry,” also reduce accuracy. These issues fit a limited but minimally adequate range: the main topic is usually understandable, but the reader must sometimes work out the intended meaning. Build a bank of natural phrases for workplace relationships and practise checking spelling and word forms before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt some longer sentences using “because,” “if,” and “so,” but control is inconsistent, and many sentences contain errors that make the relationships between ideas unclear. For example, “Some section of society say that socialise with their co-workers…” lacks a clear grammatical structure, while “if person has their own boundry so they become hebitual…” has problems with articles, clause construction, and agreement. Capitalisation and punctuation are also inconsistent, as in the lowercase “i” and missing spaces after full stops. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with one subordinate clause. Check subject–verb agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries during editing.
