Many aspects of the way people dress today are influenced by global fashion trends. I largely agree with this change of fashion trends, as fashion has simplified and offering the options worldwide with diffrent category.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both parts of the question: you identify the internet and entertainment industries as ways global fashion spreads, and you indicate that you see the development as positive, while acknowledging affordability as a concern. However, the position is not consistently clear: the opening says you “largely agree with this change,” which does not directly state whether it is positive or negative, and the conclusion calls it “progressive” without explaining the benefits. The reasons are relevant but under-developed; for example, the Korean-fashion example illustrates online exposure, but not how this affects people’s lives beyond influence. The response is 249 words, one word below the 250-word minimum; the 14 words copied from the prompt are excluded. Develop the positive/negative judgement and support each main point with clearer explanation.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs, a paragraph acknowledging a drawback, and a conclusion. Sequencing words such as “Firstly,” “Secondly,” “Admittedly,” and “However” help signal the stages of the argument. However, progression is uneven: the second body paragraph shifts from the film industry to people watching entertainment without clearly connecting this to the first point about global influence. Some links are mechanical or unclear, as in “In additionally they get influenced,” and the conclusion repeats the internet and film-industry points rather than drawing them together. Improve cohesion by making each paragraph’s central point explicit, using clear references, and explaining how each example supports your answer.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “global fashion trends,” “influenced,” “affordability,” and “local brands.” These choices show that you can communicate the general subject, but the range is limited and several inaccurate word choices or collocations make parts difficult to understand. For example, “biggest cordination” does not clearly express the internet’s role, while “streamlined different fashion” and “wearble things” are not natural ways to describe fashion production or clothing. Spelling errors such as “diffrent,” “easliy,” and “gloablly” are also noticeable. Build a more precise topic vocabulary and check spelling; prefer familiar, accurate phrases over ambitious combinations that do not convey your meaning clearly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use some simple sentences and attempt longer structures, including a conditional example (“if they like then it would…”) and a concession beginning “Admittedly.” However, the range is limited, and complex attempts are often faulty. Errors in verb forms and agreement appear in “fashion has simplified and offering,” “people watches,” and “they are always try.” Sentence construction is also unclear in “because of they are alwaysgoing with trendy products,” while punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent, particularly in the final paragraph. These errors sometimes make the intended relationships between ideas difficult to follow. Practise building accurate sentences with one main clause and a subordinate clause, then check subject–verb agreement, verb forms, and sentence boundaries.
