Student answer (Band 5.0)

In the future all transporation vhechels such as cars,buses,and trucks will be driverless.The all indivitual traverler will be pessanger inside the vehcles.

In the future of transportation system is such a big revalution for us.Driverless cars has altirnative advantages as compare to disadvantages.In this eassy we will discuss advantages of driverless vehicles or AI vehicle.

Fist of all,the future of driverless vehicles is such a bright future as compare normal vehicles.driverless vehicles has many advantages such as they are running and artificial inteligence and in this era people blindly belive on AI and driverless vehicles more benificial for human otherthan normal vehicles.We can say driverless cars in several contries there are mostly cars is driverless and they are using that for local travalling like only inside the city for texi and its usefull for people they will just sit in the car and put their local and they will reach there without any worries.

Driverless vehicles are running on electresity it will save petrol and also its usfull for enviroment the air pollution will be decrease on using of driverless vehicles.

The driverless buses and cars are safe and usefull for travelling.becuse they are just carrying pessanger inside in they are just travalling on safe areas like in the plan areas inside the city.They are not travalling for so long.driverless Buses and cars are safe and usfull for future they don't need to pay to driver salary and they can save petrol and driverless cars are also benificial for society and for climate change.But driverless trucks are complicated a little bit becuse trucks are havey machinrie as compare to cars and buses they are travalling for so long like from one region to other.and they carying more cargo are other usfull stuffs at is need to be driver beacuse without driver they can not drive for so long.

At the end driverless cars and busses are more usfull for society,for people and for enviroment but driverless trucks need a well skillfull driver.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You give a clear overall view that driverless cars and buses bring benefits, while trucks remain a concern, and you offer relevant reasons: reduced fuel use and pollution, convenience, and the difficulty of long-distance freight travel. This addresses the question, but the comparison of advantages and disadvantages is only partly developed. The claim that vehicles are safer is asserted rather than supported, and the truck disadvantage is not weighed against the benefits before the conclusion. The opening also repeats the prompt rather than establishing your argument. To strengthen the response, explain how the benefits compare in importance with the risks, and support key claims with a specific example or clearer reasoning. The required length is met; eight words copied from the prompt were not counted.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, paragraphs about benefits and drawbacks, and a concluding statement. The reader can generally follow the main direction of your argument. However, progression within paragraphs is uneven: the first benefits paragraph moves from trust in AI to local taxi use and then to pollution without clearly linking these points. Connectors such as “First of all” and “At the end” are used, but the relationships between ideas are often left implicit, and “In this essay we will discuss” does not itself guide the argument. Paragraphing is present, though the conclusion introduces a qualification about trucks without resolving the overall comparison. Group related points and use clearer transitions to show how each reason supports your position.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “artificial intelligence,” “air pollution,” “cargo,” and “climate change,” and you communicate several key ideas despite frequent spelling and word-choice problems. However, the range is limited and some repeated or inaccurate expressions make the writing difficult to read, such as “more usfull,” “safe areas,” and “put their local.” There are also many misspellings, including “transporation,” “vhechels,” and “machinrie,” which reduce clarity and control. Aim to learn accurate topic collocations and check spelling carefully. For example, describe vehicles as “powered by electricity,” passengers as “entering a destination,” and trucks as “transporting goods over long distances.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You use some longer sentences to explain causes and consequences, and the basic meaning is usually recoverable. However, the range of sentence structures is limited, and attempts to combine several ideas often produce frequent errors in agreement, verb forms, articles, and sentence construction. Examples include “Driverless cars has,” “they are running and artificial intelligence,” and “trucks are havey machinrie”; these make relationships between ideas unclear. Punctuation is also inconsistent, particularly where sentences run together after commas. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with controlled clauses using “because,” “while,” or “which.” Check subject–verb agreement and ensure each sentence has a clear subject and verb.
