IELTS Writing Task 2 question

In the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless. The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers.

Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

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

Student answer (Band 6.0)

It predicts that all vehicles such as buses, cars and trucks will become driverless in future and inside these vechicles, only passengers will travels no one else. Although, this development will reduce the employment opportunities but I believe that the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh their disadvantages becasue it will reduce the chance of traffic violation or any road accident.

One major advantage of the driverless transport will be, it reduces the rate of incidents that are often occur in our daily life on a road. These driverless vehicles will be trained on the real world data and they will be so accurate that they'll predict the danger before it actually happened.In this way, our roads will become more safer from these unexpected incidents and it provide protection to any disabled person like deaf, blind. Secondly, in their training part, this thing also be in focused that these driveless mobiles follow the rules of that country like stop on the red signal, avoid overtake, prevent from overspeeding and slow on the speed braker. This will maintain the peaceful and sustain enviroment of our roads.

On the other hand, biggest disadvantage from these driverless cars will be that if some problem may occur in ther program then it will create a enormous disaster. It may result in some tragedies, rules break or damage of someone else property. Furthermore, It may be more costly than the normal vehicles which will be difficult of people to purchase and use. Also in the beginning, their each body part will be very expensive and they required more energy to charged which will effect on the energy resources of any country. But, these negetive side effect will be prevented by trained perfectly, manufacture in very cheap cost and their batteries can build in such way that they require less engery to charge but utilize it for the longer period.

In conclusion, there is a high chance that the driverless vehicles will be replaced to the normal transport mobiles. Although, their energy and price will be so high in beginning but will settled after long run. But advantages of driveless vehcles outwight the disadvantages such as they will improve the road safty and maintain law and order condition which are great plus points for any country.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

Your position is clear: you believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, and you address both sides of the question. The discussion of fewer accidents and improved access for disabled passengers is relevant, while the risks of software failure, cost and energy use provide a reasonable counterbalance. You also explain why you think some disadvantages may lessen over time. This gives the response a solid, relevant basis. However, several points are asserted rather than fully explained: for example, the claim that vehicles will predict danger needs a concrete illustration, and the proposed solutions to cost and battery use are brief. Developing these points with specific examples and clearer reasoning would make the argument more consistently convincing.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The essay has a clear overall structure: an introduction states your view, separate paragraphs present advantages and disadvantages, and the conclusion restates your position. Signposting such as “One major advantage,” “On the other hand,” and “In conclusion” helps readers follow the argument. The progression is generally logical, but some connections are mechanical or unclear. For instance, “But, these negative side effect will be prevented by trained perfectly” does not clearly connect the proposed solutions to the preceding risks, and the conclusion repeats points without adding a concise synthesis. Some sentences also run together, as in “happened.In this way,” which interrupts the flow. Use clearer links between claims and explanations, and ensure each paragraph develops one connected line of reasoning.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant topic vocabulary, including “employment opportunities,” “traffic violation,” “energy resources,” and “disabled person,” and you attempt more specific terms such as “overspeeding” and “speed braker.” This shows an effort to discuss the topic beyond basic vocabulary. However, inaccurate word choice, collocation and spelling are noticeable and sometimes make the meaning less clear: “peaceful and sustain environment,” “normal transport mobiles,” and “their each body part” are not natural expressions. There are also repeated misspellings, including “vechicles,” “becasue,” “negetive,” and “safty.” Build accuracy by checking spelling and learning common word partnerships, such as “road safety,” “vehicle components,” and “sustainable environment,” rather than relying on approximate terms.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt a mix of simple and complex sentences, including clauses with “although,” “if,” and “that,” and the main argument is usually understandable. However, errors occur across sentence structures and verb forms, and they sometimes make the reader pause. Examples include “only passengers will travels,” “incidents that are often occur,” and “it provide protection”; these show problems with agreement and verb construction. The sentence beginning “Although, this development…” is also incomplete as written, and “if some problem may occur” combines conditional forms awkwardly. Punctuation is inconsistent, including the missing space after “happened.” Practise accurate subject–verb agreement and conditional patterns, and proofread each sentence for a complete clause and correct verb form.
