Student answer (Band 5.0)

It has been observed that; In this time the technology was rapidly growing. Although some people believe that, In the future all the vechiles like cars, buses and trucks will become diverless and the people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. I find that there is more advantages than disadvantage. in this essay, i will attempt to present some positive and a few negative aspects of this statement

To begin with, there are several merits of developing of Ai technology more in future by seeing the progess of technology. One of them is that in future people does not need any driver to drive the vechiles because in future all vechiles will be drive by Ai or Robort that made by human beings. it can be greatly beneficial to individual and the society. Futhermore, it should also be noted that younger people build diffrent kind of roborts, Human invented a apps that control vechilces through mobile phones. It should also be noted that through driverless can less reduce the chance of accidents and breaking the rules and regulations of traffic.

Although, It can be caused an make human life more sufficent due to highely used and development of Ai. Driver can be suffer from jobs and financial problems. Similarly, another thing to consider in this context is that it can affect on the development of nations as well as people can compare theirintelligent with the technology whos has made by the people. For example, It seems that mostly development countries has the robort in the resturant, Office, and in the vechiles also doing the work as a driver, waiter and the guard jobs.

In conclusion, I believe that people can be travel inside the vechile as a passenger was very pround thing for human because by people passion and work can be delighted and make their nation more development.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address the topic and state a position in the introduction (“there is more advantages than disadvantage”), then give reasons involving fewer accidents and possible job losses. The response also includes an example of robots working in restaurants, offices and vehicles. However, the position is not sustained clearly: the conclusion calls passenger travel “very pround” but does not explain whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Several points are difficult to interpret or insufficiently developed, especially the claim that driverless vehicles could affect national development. To strengthen the response, compare the importance of the safety benefits with the employment costs, and explain each reason with a clear cause-and-effect link or a specific example. The response meets the required length; eight words copied from the task prompt were not counted.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “To begin with,” “Furthermore” and “In conclusion” help identify the stages of the argument. However, progression within paragraphs is uneven: the first body paragraph moves from AI replacing drivers to young people building robots and apps, then to accident reduction without clearly connecting these ideas. The second paragraph also shifts from job losses to national development and robots in workplaces. Some linking phrases are repetitive or do not show the relationship between ideas accurately. Organise each paragraph around one main point, explain it, and then give a relevant example. Clearer references and a conclusion that directly returns to the outweigh question would make the argument easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “driverless,” “technology,” “accidents,” “traffic rules” and “financial problems,” so the reader can identify the subject of the essay. However, the range is limited and several word choices or combinations are inaccurate, sometimes making meaning unclear. For example, “more advantages than disadvantage” and “can less reduce the chance” do not express the intended comparison naturally, while “people passion” and “make their nation more development” are difficult to understand. Spelling errors such as “vechiles,” “Robort” and “sufficent” are also noticeable. Build a more accurate set of phrases for discussing benefits, risks and employment, and check spelling and word forms. Prefer precise, natural expressions over repeated general references to technology.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a concession beginning “Although” and a sentence introduced by “For example.” However, complex structures are often faulty, and frequent errors can make the intended meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “people does not need,” “all vechiles will be drive,” and “Driver can be suffer,” which show problems with subject–verb agreement, verb forms and sentence construction. The opening also contains incomplete or awkwardly joined clauses, and punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent. Practise building accurate sentences with a clear subject and verb, then add subordinate clauses only when their relationship to the main idea is clear. Proofread for agreement, tense, articles and sentence boundaries.
