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

Student answer (Band 5.0)

Most of the people' thinking that the way of people dressing is totally basis on the global fashion trend. And this is attracted the peoples to global fashion. Mostly, peoples followed the style of other countries rather than own country fashion. And in my point of view this is negative development.

In the first paragraph, In this world billions of peoples living in different countries. Every country has its own culture and traditions. Cultures including the way of dressing. every country have its own dressing identity. Dressing identity is most important for evry country. Because the peoples of these countries represent our country with our dressing style. For example, If the people forgot the dressing style of own country its very important development for all the peoles of belonging country. In my point of view, when the person Visit to the other country he definitely wear new dresses. if the person followed global fashion trend. he can not represnt our country in front of others.

Furthormore, Now a days global fashion has a strong impact on peoples life. because Many people's believe that when we adopt global fashion we are too much attracted. For instance, I discuss two persons thoughts of global fashion. If one is totally followed our country Trend. he definitely look nice and beautiful Rather than whose adopt the global fashion. Here Some other peoples have many more ideologies like, if the forigner visit to our country they definitely look the peoples life style and must followed.

In the conclusion, Many more peoples the way of wearing of dress now a days are effected by global fashion. And i think overcome this trend to give awareness about the importance of country's dressing style. I should recommend peoples to leave this trend is negative development.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You state a clear negative view in the introduction and conclusion, and you refer to national culture and clothing identity as reasons for your concern. However, the response only partially answers the question because it does not clearly explain how global fashion became so influential. The claim that people adopt it because they are “too much attracted” is vague, and the example about two people’s thoughts does not show a specific influence or its effects. Some reasoning is also unclear, such as saying that forgetting local dress is an “important development.” To strengthen the response, explain concrete causes—such as social media, celebrities, advertising, or international brands—and develop one or two relevant examples that directly support your position.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion, and basic signposts such as “For example,” “Furthermore,” and “In the conclusion” help identify stages of the answer. However, the ideas do not progress consistently: the first body paragraph focuses on cultural identity, while the next shifts to attractiveness and an unclear comparison between people. Several sentences are joined with repeated “And,” and references such as “this,” “they,” and “whose” do not always make the intended meaning clear. The paragraph openings also do not establish a clear sequence of reasons. Organise each body paragraph around one distinct point, then use clear links to show how the example supports that point.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “culture,” “traditions,” “dressing identity,” and “global fashion trend,” so the reader can recognise the subject. However, the range is limited and several phrases are repeated, particularly “peoples,” “dressing style,” and “global fashion.” Some word choices or collocations make ideas difficult to understand, such as “this is attracted the peoples,” “two persons thoughts,” and “look the peoples life style.” Spelling errors, including “evry,” “represnt,” and “Furthormore,” also reduce accuracy. Build a more precise set of expressions for causes and effects, and check spelling and natural word combinations when revising.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both short statements and longer sentences with reasons, for example, “Because the peoples of these countries represent our country with our dressing style.” However, the range is limited, and attempts to form more complex sentences are often faulty. Errors in verb forms and agreement appear in “Most of the people' thinking” and “Every country have,” while sentence fragments and punctuation problems occur in “Because the peoples…” and “if the person followed global fashion trend. he can not…”. Articles, plurals, and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and check agreement and punctuation, especially when joining a reason to its main clause.
