Student answer (Band 6.0)
It has been observed that most individuals avoid to search regarding new place where they want to go capture photos in these days. There are a myriad of reasons and causes of this precautionary action. My inclination is elaborated in ensuing paragraphs with reasons and relevant examples.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0
The response addresses both parts of the prompt, identifying reasons for the trend and expressing an opinion on whether it is positive or negative. However, the development of ideas is somewhat limited and repetitive. The explanation for why people do not research destinations—relying on books and videos—is not fully convincing, and the argument regarding the 'positive' nature of the trend is underdeveloped. The connection between taking photos and becoming popular is vague. To improve, you should provide more concrete, logical links between your points and ensure that your arguments are fully extended with clear, relevant examples rather than general statements.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0
The essay is organised into paragraphs, but the logical progression is often hindered by awkward transitions and unclear phrasing. While you use some cohesive devices like 'first and foremost' and 'on the contrary', their usage is sometimes mechanical or inappropriate for the context. For example, the transition 'On the second hand' is non-standard. Additionally, the referencing is occasionally confusing, making it difficult for the reader to follow the flow of your argument. Improving the use of linking words and ensuring that each paragraph has a clear, singular focus would significantly enhance the coherence of your writing.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.5
The vocabulary is somewhat limited and repetitive, with several instances of incorrect word choice or collocation. For example, 'seanary' (scenery) is misspelled, and phrases like 'avoid to search' and 'become acquaint' are grammatically incorrect. You attempt to use some topic-specific vocabulary, but the lack of precision often impedes the clarity of your message. To reach a higher band, focus on using more natural collocations and expanding your range of vocabulary to express ideas more precisely, rather than relying on basic or incorrectly used terms.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that occasionally cause difficulty for the reader. There are consistent issues with verb patterns (e.g., 'avoid to search' instead of 'avoid searching'), article usage, and sentence structure. While you attempt some complex sentences, they are often faulty, leading to confusion. For instance, 'it get chance for them to be a popular' is grammatically incorrect. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence structures and subject-verb agreement before attempting more complex forms. Proofreading for common errors like missing prepositions and incorrect verb forms will also help.
