Student answer (Band 6.0)

On few momenets, the things happened that we are paying others for performing our duties such as, household chores and parental work, for not having enough time and interest to do. According to me, this is the good way to sublet your duties to others as it can increase the job opportunities, but it is not a good development, as it is a great chance to show your love to your love ones.

Creating more jobs into the society is the key reason why it is a great way to subordinate your house duties. A lot individuals, who are coming into your neighbourhood in searching of their desired jobs, but do not have enoug money to survive. By providing the part-time occupation like Nanny and homeworker, they can earn some money to feed themsleves. For example, a survey conducted in the Kitchener neighbourhood shows, overseas students, who are looking for for part-time jobs to pay their tution fees and fulfill their daily expences are getting enormous benefits by getting a less skilled jobs like house worker. So, provide a job accidently help so many unemployed individuals who are fighting to live a basic life is the reason why it is a great thing.

In my opinion, individuals should not need to sublet their home work to others as it can increase your bonding with your family. If you help you family in doing the home duties, they will started seeing your love towards them and started feeling more loved from you. By doing the parental duties, you can know about the likes and dislikes about your children. Those will help to to create a strong bond with your loved ones. For example, children are always more incline towards the family member who show them how much he or she cared them.

In conclusion, if people will sometimes sublet their duties is good, as it can decrease the unemployement rate into the society. But doing it on a regular basis can decrease the attachments towards the family menbers.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses both parts of the prompt: the economic benefits of outsourcing chores and the personal importance of performing them oneself. The position is clear throughout. However, the development of ideas is somewhat repetitive. For instance, the argument regarding job creation is supported by a relevant example, but the explanation of family bonding in the second body paragraph relies on similar points about 'love' and 'likes and dislikes' without exploring deeper nuances. To reach a higher band, you should aim to extend your ideas with more varied reasoning and avoid circular arguments. Overall, the response is relevant and covers all requirements of the task.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is organized into logical paragraphs, each with a clear central topic. Cohesive devices are used, such as 'In my opinion', 'For example', and 'In conclusion', which help guide the reader. However, some transitions are mechanical or slightly awkward, such as 'So, provide a job accidently help'. Additionally, the referencing is occasionally unclear, and the flow between sentences could be smoother. The use of paragraphing is appropriate, but the internal cohesion within paragraphs needs more variety to avoid a repetitive structure. Improving the range of linking words and ensuring they are used naturally will enhance the overall flow.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task, allowing the writer to express ideas clearly. There are some attempts at less common vocabulary, such as 'sublet' and 'unemployment rate', but some word choices are imprecise or incorrect, such as 'subordinate your house duties' (where 'delegate' would be more appropriate) and 'less skilled jobs' (which is slightly awkward). Spelling errors like 'momenets', 'enoug', 'themsleves', and 'expences' occur, though they do not impede communication. To improve, focus on using words in their correct collocations and proofreading for common spelling mistakes.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay uses a mix of simple and complex sentence structures. While the meaning is generally clear, there are frequent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement issues ('they will started seeing', 'children are always more incline') and awkward phrasing ('On few momenets, the things happened'). Punctuation is generally functional, but there are some errors in sentence construction that affect the precision of the writing. To achieve a higher score, you should focus on mastering basic sentence patterns and ensuring consistent verb tense usage, as well as reducing the frequency of errors in complex structures.
