Student answer (Band 5.5)

It is widely debated that saving money is essiantial for every person inculding youth to run with people in thier future.I strongly agree that it is crucial for everybody to save money for their future especially for young people.

Firstly, thinking aboiut financial support in future is basic and important because no one knows how long his job is remaining.In future is all about artificial intelegence.AI can cover all the jobs and perform better than human.For instance,people in many companies working daily and spending their lives happyly but when ai comes it replace almost all workers.majority of those people does not save money for their bad time and they suffer very much.On the other hand,minority of people save some money for theirself and they can easily survive from that situation.

Furthermore,due to international inflation and crises all the world suffering from this battle.it helps us to stay calm and confident.it provides us self satisfaction because when you safe money , you get more opportunity and the rate oof success increase rapidly.For example,some people feels more confident and calm when they going to the job interview because they have enough money to survive but also other people with financial issuses can not perforn better because of frastration and unsatisfaction.

In conlusion,saving money for your future plays crucial role self satisfaction and every person needs to protect something for their future to feel save and relaible.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is clear from the introduction: “I strongly agree” that everyone, especially young people, should save. You give relevant reasons, including possible job losses from AI and the security savings can provide during inflation or financial hardship. The examples help connect these points to real situations. However, the AI paragraph focuses mainly on workers generally, and the link to why young people in particular should save could be explained more fully. The point about savings helping someone perform well in a job interview is also not clearly developed. The response is 16 words below the required minimum, so it needs a little more explanation and support. Develop each reason with a clearer cause-and-effect explanation or a specific example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “Firstly” and “Furthermore,” and a conclusion. The ideas generally progress from protection against job loss to confidence and financial security, so the overall arrangement is coherent. Some connections, however, are unclear or mechanical. For example, “In future is all about artificial intelligence” does not clearly explain how it follows from the point about job security, and “it helps us” has an uncertain reference. The contrast introduced by “On the other hand” is understandable but does not set up a fully balanced opposing view. Use linking phrases only where they express the relationship precisely, and make pronouns refer clearly to a specific idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “financial support,” “inflation,” “crises,” “survive,” and “self satisfaction.” These choices allow the reader to understand your main points, and you attempt some topic-specific language such as “artificial intelligence.” However, spelling errors are noticeable, including “essiantial,” “intelegence,” and “conlusion,” while some word choices and collocations are unclear or unnatural, such as “run with people in their future” and “protect something for their future.” The repeated use of general terms such as “money,” “people,” and “future” also limits precision. Build a more accurate range around saving, financial security, and employment, and check spelling and natural word combinations carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a reason clause beginning “because” and a contrast between people who save and those who do not. The main message is usually understandable, but errors in sentence structure and verb forms sometimes make the reader work to follow the meaning. For example, “no one knows how long his job is remaining” has an awkward tense construction, while “when AI comes it replace almost all workers” has errors in the conditional clause and verb agreement. There are also problems with articles, plurals, and punctuation, as in “the rate of success increase” and the run-on sentence about workers and AI. Practise accurate present and future forms, subject–verb agreement, and sentence boundaries.
