Student answer (Band 6.0)

In recent times, people paying for other person who do their household work or else looking for their children. This essay will discussed that people do their work by ownselves or it is good to proving work to unemployed person in ensuing write-up.

In my perspective it is a good way to providing work to other people like cook, gardeners or cleaners, babysitters. Because, in many country individuals have no work to do and earn money. People have the responsibility of their house and children too. So, giving a job opportunity to people is good way to give them chance to earn money. Sometimes, this kind of people have art in particular work like gardeners. Moreover, nowadays human beings are busy in their daily routine life. They have a bunch of responsibility in their office work. They hardly have a chance to to take care of house, gardens or for cooking. Thus, they prefer to hire a people who do their home chores instead of them.

Well, people have to do their works by ownselves. For example, looking for their children. Parents have a great bond with their child in comparision with other stranger. If they prefer to manage their both office and household work so they learn managing skills. Not only this but this also make a great bond with their child. Moreover, people can organize their house more better than others because individuals have chance to to their work by their own choice.

To recapitulate, nonetheless, it is good to providing a job to the people who have a need to earn. And, people have a relief to because they have no pressure to do household works or else looking for child. They can focus on their career. While, it is also great that you have a chance to make a great relationship with your child by doing your ownselves.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses both parts of the prompt: the benefits of providing work for others and the question of whether people should perform these tasks themselves. The position is clear, although the development of ideas is somewhat superficial. For example, the argument regarding 'managing skills' is mentioned but not fully explored. The essay covers the requirements, but the ideas could be extended with more specific examples or deeper analysis to reach a higher band. The conclusion attempts to balance both sides, which is a positive feature of the task response.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is organised into clear paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the progression of ideas. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate. Phrases like 'In my perspective' and 'Well, people have to do' feel slightly unnatural or informal. The transition between the two main body paragraphs is functional, but the internal cohesion within paragraphs is sometimes hampered by repetitive sentence structures and awkward phrasing. The logical flow is present, but the connections between sentences could be smoother and more varied.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task but lacks precision and variety. There are several instances of awkward word choices, such as 'people have art in particular work' (meaning skill) and 'organize their house more better'. The student relies on basic vocabulary and struggles with collocations, such as 'doing your ownselves' or 'providing work to other people'. While the meaning is clear, the range is limited, and the errors in word formation and usage prevent the response from reaching a higher band.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors throughout. Issues include subject-verb agreement ('This essay will discussed'), incorrect pronoun usage ('do their work by ownselves'), and missing articles or incorrect prepositions ('in many country', 'looking for their children'). While these errors do not completely impede communication, they are persistent and occur in both simple and complex constructions. The control of grammar is inconsistent, which is a characteristic of the 5.0–5.5 band range.
