Student answer (Band 5.0)

Many people believe that it is good to transfer as much knowlege as possible in scientific reserch, business and academic world. In my opinion, it is very benificial for all of us to circulate our knowlege all around in our community to educate as much as possible our society. It is also very important to share only that specific news which can be necessry for the betterment of people, also it important that, some news can be hide from society for peace and security of people.

Nowadays, their is a era of social media almost every person is using social media and being online. So, everyone can share information about his field on social media. In recent days, the world is a globle village every should be connected through internetand be update with recent news.Many people can gain knowlege from internet and apply in his practical life and improve his living standard. This the duty of goverment to teach peoples about social media and also the childrens in schools should be teached about AI.

In current days, AI( artificial intelligence) should be very advance and also be used by the people whose have wrong intentions. So, this very difficult to understand that the information is true or not. Also, with many good aspects these things have some negitive aspects. For example, on social media their are some media which can be helpfull for those people who has wrong missions and also enemys can also have information about us through social media.

In conclution, Nowadays, this is the responsibility of everybody to share only that news which is authantic and can benificial for others.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a clear general preference for sharing knowledge, while recognising that some information may need to be withheld for “peace and security.” This is relevant to the topic, and the examples about social media, AI and misuse show an attempt to explain the risks. However, the two views are not discussed in a balanced or sufficiently developed way: the benefits of sharing are mostly described in broad terms, and the value of protecting commercially or academically important information is not really explored. Your position also shifts from sharing knowledge widely to sharing “only” authentic and beneficial news, without clarifying what should remain private. Develop each side with a specific reason or example, then state a consistent conclusion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a basic paragraph structure, moving from an introduction to discussion of online sharing, risks, and a conclusion. This gives the reader some sense of organisation. However, progression between ideas is limited: the second paragraph moves from social media use to government education and teaching children about AI without explaining the links. Connectors such as “So,” “also,” and “For example” are used, but relationships between claims are sometimes unclear, and “In current days” repeats the time framing already used. The conclusion is very brief and does not bring together the two views. Group related points more carefully, use clear topic sentences, and explain how each example supports the paragraph’s main idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “scientific research,” “social media,” “artificial intelligence,” “security,” and “living standard,” so the subject is generally understandable. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, especially “share,” “information,” and “people.” There are also noticeable spelling and word-choice errors, such as “knowlege,” “globle village,” “negitive,” and “authantic,” which reduce accuracy and can make the reader pause. Some expressions are imprecise, for example “some media” and “wrong missions.” Build a more varied set of terms for the two sides of the argument, and check spelling and collocations so your meaning is expressed more precisely.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentence forms, including a sentence beginning “So, everyone can share information…” and a conditional-style point about information being used by people with harmful intentions. However, complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors in sentence structure, agreement, articles and verb forms sometimes make the meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “their is a era,” “every should be connected,” “people whose have wrong intentions,” and “this is the responsibility of everybody to share.” Punctuation and sentence boundaries also need attention, as in “recent news.Many people.” Practise constructing accurate subject–verb patterns and joining clauses with clear punctuation; then proofread for articles and agreement.
