Student answer (Band 5.5)

In the current era ,everyone has the awerence and have the access to inernet they watched different styels in all over the world and individuals wear the clothes what they saw and trending internationally .

It is a matter of fact, that dressing well is the first preferrence for almost every single individual who wants to be in limelight at their relevent gathering or place . I strongly believe that , globel fashion had a significant and delightfull impact on the persons personality , for example now a days citizens are growing , they impressed by the international fashion and try to copy . they got more knowledge while they are searching the materials ,fabrics and other essentials which they needed for that specific artical that they are inspired .And as they achieve the dress styel they are thrilled and excited wearing it, they carried the dress beautifully and gracefully ,becoming more advanced and gaining skills and polished they self by dressing and better for the country development .

Although , it may creats many other factors that spread some negativity . peoples starts wearing reavling clothes , some peoples my spend whole savings on that inspired artical , many peoples put themselfes in trouble to copy the globel fashion , they got depressed or may not atend their important event if they do not copy the trend perfectly ,so it does has all the minuse sides for that trend .

In conclussion , i still think it provides many possitive points that peoples acknowledge the globel trend and follows it gracefully spread more development and creativity .

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You address both parts of the question: you link global fashion’s influence to people seeing styles online, and you give a mixed evaluation while ultimately calling it positive. The examples of researching fabrics and feeling confident in an outfit are relevant, as are the concerns about revealing clothes, spending savings, and feeling distressed when unable to follow a trend. However, the explanation of how fashion became influential is brief and mostly limited to internet access and imitation. Several claimed benefits, such as becoming “more advanced” and contributing to “country development,” are not clearly explained or supported. Your position is present, but the conclusion does not fully weigh the drawbacks against the benefits. Develop the causes and explain your judgement more precisely.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has an overall structure: an opening explanation, a paragraph presenting benefits, a paragraph on drawbacks, and a concluding opinion. This makes the main direction understandable. You also use basic linking expressions such as “Although” and “In conclusion” to signal contrast and closure. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow because several points are joined into long sequences, particularly in the paragraph beginning “Although.” The relationship between ideas such as researching fabrics, gaining skills, and national development is not made clear. Some references, including “that specific article,” are also difficult to connect to a precise earlier idea. Use shorter, more clearly organised sentences and make each paragraph develop one central point.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to fashion and its effects, including “international fashion,” “fabrics,” “inspired,” “depressed,” and “creativity.” These choices show an effort to discuss both practical and emotional consequences. However, the range is limited and several spelling and word-choice errors make parts of the response harder to understand, for example “awerence,” “reavling,” and “artical.” Some phrases are also unnatural or imprecise, such as “in the limelight at their relevant gathering” and “spread more development.” Aim for accurate, natural collocations and check spelling carefully. More precise terms for online exposure, social pressure, affordability, and personal expression would help you explain your ideas with greater clarity.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences with subordinate clauses, such as “Although, it may creats many other factors…” and the sentence explaining how people search for materials and fabrics. This shows some willingness to vary sentence structure. However, complex sentences are often difficult to control, and errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries recur. For example, “everyone has the awerence and have the access” does not maintain agreement, while “they impressed by the international fashion” is missing a suitable verb form. Commas are also frequently placed awkwardly, and some sentences run together. Practise building accurate short sentences first, then combine related ideas using controlled clauses and consistent punctuation.
