Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 4.5)

I have fully agree with the statement, the statement is in the future all cars, buses and trucks, they are used for travelling one location to another location will be driveless. Yes, the statements will be true in future from my point of view.

Overall, the statements shows the future happening, they will be happened in future after someyears using the science technology.

First of all. I have describe the my opinion about the given statement about the happening they will be happened in future. From my point of view, Yes it will be possible in future. All the cares, buses and trucks will be driveless. The driveless means, a car will be drive without the driver and car will be drive in future using the science technology like computer and remote connected with car and internet. That it will be possible in future using the modern science tecknology.

Now, the advantages and disadvantages of driveless cars and trucks. First of all, describe about the advantages of driveless car if they will be introduce in future. First, the car and buses could not be late in future, when they are monitor by the science technology. And the salary of the driveres are using on the another platform. And the ratio of the acciedent will be decrease.

The disadvantages of driveless cars, the first disadvantage, the cars and buses are completely drive by science technology using different methods like on computer and remote and stallites, and the cars not follows the instructions of passengers, its only follows the instructions that will be given by the computer. After this tecknology, many drivers jobs are gone after this technology.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You state a position in favour of driverless vehicles and mention relevant potential benefits, including fewer accidents and reduced delays, as well as disadvantages such as drivers losing their jobs and passengers having less control. However, the response does not clearly answer whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages: it lists points on both sides without comparing their importance or reaching a reasoned conclusion. Several claims, such as technology preventing lateness and reducing accidents, are asserted rather than explained or supported with an example. The opening also repeats the prompt’s prediction instead of establishing your argument. To strengthen the response, explain how each point affects people and explicitly state why the benefits or drawbacks are more significant. The response meets the stated length requirement; eight words copied from the task prompt were not counted.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

There is an attempt to organise the response into an introduction, a discussion of advantages and disadvantages, and paragraphs signposted with phrases such as “First of all” and “Now.” This gives the reader some sense of the intended structure. However, ideas are not arranged into a clear line of argument: the opening repeats the same prediction, and the final paragraph ends without a conclusion or a comparison of the two sides. Linking phrases are repetitive, while some connections between sentences are unclear—for example, “And the salary of the driveres are using on the another platform.” Use one paragraph for each main side, connect each supporting explanation directly to its claim, and finish with a concise conclusion that answers the question.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

Your vocabulary is basic and repetitive, but some task-related terms—such as “advantages,” “disadvantages,” “technology,” and “accident”—help communicate the topic. The repeated use of “driveless” and “science technology” limits precision, and several word choices or forms make the meaning difficult to follow, including “the salary of the drivers are using on the another platform” and “the ratio of the acciedent.” Spelling errors such as “tecknology,” “satellites” (written as “stallites”), and “acciedent” also reduce clarity. Build a more accurate range for discussing automation, safety, employment, and passenger control. Check spelling and choose natural collocations; for example, describe a vehicle as “autonomous” and say that accident rates may “fall.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response shows an attempt to use both simple statements and longer clauses, but sentence structures are often incomplete or inaccurately formed, and errors frequently make relationships between ideas unclear. For example, “I have fully agree with the statement” has an incorrect verb form, while “the statements shows” has a subject–verb agreement error. The opening sentence joins several ideas without a clear grammatical structure, and “the cars and buses are completely drive by science technology” has an incorrect passive construction. Articles, plurals, and tense choices are also inconsistent. Practise building clear subject–verb sentences first, then add subordinate clauses to explain reasons. Review agreement, verb forms, and passive structures, and use full stops to separate complete ideas.
