Student answer (Band 5.0)

In recent years, studies science subjects has become increasingly common in the world. A large number of countries have less students in science field at their universities. From my prospective, they have lake of science teachers and science liborties. The country will not run in the field of progress.

Major cause of this problem having no enough teaching staff, good scientests, large number of liborties for experiments. Due to the facts that students not show intersets in science subjects. An other reason is that Government should not able to mange the cost of the experiments, because the government's of those countries already facing a lot number of challenges like poverty as well as infulation. These are the cause due to students not adopt science subjects.

From this fact, there are numerous effects on society, the countries could not make progress. They are unable to fight in the war, the world as shift on nuclear wars.For examples mony countries have their nuclear weapons, atom bumbs and air fighter jets. These all required high class of science studies. Although, it is very expensive, it also be used in other purpose like electricity production, and chemical industries.As a result students also studies in developed countries to helps their motherland.

In conclusin, Lake of studies in the field of science cause of less progress, while science studies give students to opportunies to study abroad in developed countries. without Study science subjcts a country cannot make progress and the face different challenges. I firmly believe that

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both causes and effects, and your main position—that limited science education can hinder national progress—is identifiable. The causes paragraph mentions shortages of teaching staff and facilities, as well as government funding pressures; the effects paragraph links science to defence, electricity and industry. However, these points are mostly listed rather than explained, and some claims are unclear or too broad. For example, the connection between students’ lack of interest and shortages of teachers or libraries needs to be made explicit. The conclusion introduces studying abroad but does not clearly explain its effect on society, and the final sentence is unfinished. Develop fewer ideas with specific explanations or examples, and state your position clearly from introduction to conclusion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and the broad order—causes followed by effects—is appropriate. Basic linking expressions such as “Due to,” “For examples” and “As a result” show an effort to connect ideas. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow: the causes paragraph moves from staffing to student interest and government costs without clearly showing how these points relate. Some transitions are inaccurate or abrupt, and the conclusion repeats the idea of national progress while adding a new point about studying abroad. Organise each paragraph around one clear main idea, then explain it and give a relevant example. Use linking phrases only where the relationship between ideas is clear.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “teaching staff,” “experiments,” “nuclear weapons,” “electricity production” and “chemical industries.” These choices help communicate the general subject. However, the range is limited, and frequent spelling errors and inaccurate word choices sometimes make the message difficult to understand, as in “prospective,” “liborties,” “scientests” and “infulation.” Some phrases are also unnatural, such as “fight in the war” and “high class of science studies.” Aim to learn accurate topic vocabulary and common collocations, and check spelling carefully. More precise wording would help you explain causes and social consequences without relying on broad phrases such as “make progress.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You use some simple sentences and attempt longer structures with reasons and contrast, including “because the government’s of those countries already facing…” and “Although, it is very expensive…”. However, the range is limited, and errors in sentence construction, verb forms, agreement and articles occur frequently, sometimes making relationships between ideas unclear. For example, “studies science subjects has become” has an incorrect subject–verb pattern, while “the countries could not make progress” does not clearly express the intended general consequence. The final sentence, “I firmly believe that,” is incomplete. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then add subordinate clauses with correct subjects and verbs. Proofread each sentence for completeness and punctuation.
