Student answer (Band 5.5)
Nowadays, many people believe that save money play an important role in the human lives. It is a important to save money for their future for the young people. I strongly agree with this view, because they can use this money for their academy and health purpoes.
The first main reason is that young people can use their save money for their academy purposes, because if young people want to learn higher education in the abroad, then they can use this money for get the admission in the international colleges and universities. In the abroad, young people can use this money for mange their food, clothes and houses, until they get a good jobs. They can use this money for pay their academy fees. That is why, young people should save their money for their coming time.
The second main reason is that they can young their saving money for their health purposes. For instance, every person want to maintain their energy level and regular medical checkup. If people has lost their jobs and they donot have enough money to improve and maintain their level of energy, then this money is really help ful for their medical purpose. Furthermore, if your any families members face medical problems, so, though this save money people can sove their medical problems. Healthy life is an important thing, because without a good energy level people cannot achieve their life goals and they cannot become successful person.
In conclusion, young people should saving their money for their heatlh improving and learn a better academy education.These two things, such as education and health play an important role for spend healthy and successful life.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0
Your position is clear: you strongly agree that young people should save, and you give two relevant reasons—funding education and meeting health costs. The examples of paying university fees, supporting oneself while studying abroad, and covering medical expenses help address the task. However, the education point is developed more fully than the health point, which relies on broad claims about maintaining energy and becoming successful. The response would be stronger if it explained more precisely how savings provide security and included a specific, realistic example. Your conclusion restates the main reasons, but does not add much to the argument. Overall, the task is addressed, though some ideas remain under-developed or unclear.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0
The response has a coherent overall arrangement: an introduction states your view, two body paragraphs present separate reasons, and a conclusion summarises them. Signposting such as “The first main reason,” “The second main reason,” and “In conclusion” makes the structure easy to follow. However, cohesion is sometimes mechanical because these transitions are repeated rather than varied, and some links between ideas are unclear. For example, the move from losing a job to maintaining energy and then to family medical problems is not fully explained. Pronouns such as “this money” and “they” also occasionally have unclear references. Use more precise links between each claim and its example, and organise each paragraph around one clearly developed line of reasoning.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You use vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “higher education,” “international colleges and universities,” “medical problems,” and “life goals.” These choices make your main points understandable. However, the range is limited and several phrases are repeated, especially “use this money” and “young people.” Some word choices and collocations are inaccurate or unclear, such as “academy purposes,” “mange their food,” and “improve and maintain their level of energy.” Spelling errors, including “purpoes,” “sove,” and “heatlh,” also reduce accuracy. Build a more precise range for discussing financial security, tuition, and healthcare, and check spelling and natural word combinations when editing.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You attempt both simple and complex sentences, including conditional structures such as “if young people want to learn higher education… then they can use this money” and “if people has lost their jobs…”. This shows an effort to explain causes and possible situations. However, errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence construction occur across the response and sometimes make the meaning less clear. Examples include “many people believe that save money play,” “It is a important,” “every person want,” and “they can young their saving money.” Some sentences also combine several ideas without clear grammatical control. Practise accurate subject–verb agreement and verb patterns, and revise each sentence to ensure its clauses are complete and clearly connected.
