Student answer (Band 5.0)

Nowadays, technology day by day increased such as, driverless car, drone all included this sector. Some people think all vehicals will be driverless in the future. In my point of view, there are significant advantages and also some disadvantages are.

On the one hand, driver less transport are very helpful for individuals. At present time all transport industry are develop there technology. For example, the last month tesla company publised wonderful flying car name roadsters. Also, china and Japan are made driverless plan and drone. For result, public are instand need transport they need with in second. It's all created goes to technology. In the future, defintly, all vehicals are driverless.

On the other hand, there are also some disadvantages like driver less transport created roads accidents on the road. Because some time they out off control with staring. Last year, in china was released a driver less car on the road but after 20 minutes the cars are disconected with system. For illustrate, if all transport are driverless that way created huge jobless in country. Day by day, umployment are increased rapidly. In Bangladesh, approximately 1 crore driver are ride transport. However, in the future are release driver less vehicals everyone lost there job.

In conclusion, although driverless cars, buses and trucks are release in the future they helpful for public but also they created umployment rate.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You address the topic by mentioning potential convenience and the risks of accidents and job losses, and your conclusion recognises both benefits and drawbacks. However, the question asks whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and you do not give a clear answer: “there are significant advantages and also some disadvantages” does not establish which side is stronger. The advantages are especially underdeveloped; the examples about a flying car and transport technology do not explain clearly how driverless vehicles benefit passengers. Your discussion of unemployment is more relevant, but it needs fuller explanation and support. The response also falls 22 words short of the required minimum, limiting the space available to develop your position. State your judgement directly and explain each main reason with a relevant example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, separate paragraphs beginning “On the one hand” and “On the other hand,” and a conclusion. This helps the reader identify the two sides of the discussion. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow, particularly in the first body paragraph, where the links between technology, the examples, and the claimed benefit are unclear. Some connectors are used mechanically or inaccurately, such as “For result” and “For illustrate,” and “However” does not clearly express the relationship in its sentence. Referencing is also unclear in phrases such as “It’s all created goes to technology.” Use fewer, more accurate linking expressions and make each paragraph develop one central point in a clear sequence.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “driverless,” “transport industry,” “accidents,” “unemployment,” and “system,” so the reader can generally identify the subject of your ideas. However, the range is limited and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the response difficult to understand, including “vehicals,” “publised,” “disconected,” and “umployment.” Some combinations are also unnatural, such as “driverless plan,” “created roads accidents,” and “everyone lost there job.” Aim to use accurate, natural collocations and check spelling carefully. More precise terms such as “road safety,” “automated vehicles,” and “job displacement” would help you explain the advantages and disadvantages more clearly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt a few longer structures, including “although” in the conclusion and a conditional sentence beginning “if all transport are driverless.” Most sentences, however, rely on simple patterns, and errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence construction are frequent enough to make some ideas hard to follow. For example, “technology day by day increased” needs a suitable tense, while “all transport industry are develop” has problems with both agreement and verb form. In “if all transport are driverless that way created huge jobless,” the conditional structure is incomplete and the main clause is unclear. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then add controlled complex forms using “because,” “although,” and “if.”
