Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions: you suggest that celebrities and young people help spread global fashion, and you state that its effects are positive. The Justin Bieber concert example gives the explanation some support. However, the response only partially develops the task. The explanation of how fashion becomes influential is mostly about celebrity imitation, while other relevant mechanisms—such as social media, advertising, or international brands—are not explored. The positive position is also not consistently clear: the discussion shifts from clothing trends to following successful role models and choosing a “right path,” without showing how this benefits society through fashion. Develop each point with a clearer link to the question and a more specific explanation.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion, and signposts such as “Furthermore” and “In conclusion” help identify the stages of the argument. However, progression within paragraphs is uneven, and some links between ideas are unclear. For example, the second body paragraph moves from fashion’s positive effects to choosing an intelligent, successful role model, then to benefiting society, without explaining the connections. The opening also repeats the task question rather than establishing a clear line of argument. Use topic sentences that state one main point, then explain and illustrate it in sequence. Make references such as “they” and “the right trend” more precise so readers can follow what each idea refers to.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt topic-related vocabulary, including “global clothing trends,” “celebrity,” “motivation,” and “significant components.” However, the range is limited and several inaccurate or unnatural choices make parts of the argument difficult to understand. Phrases such as “dressup,” “the trend become much popular,” “lossed/baggy,” and “profitaized the society” are not appropriate forms or collocations in context. There are also frequent spelling errors, including “genration,” “celebrites,” and “conclustion.” Build a reliable set of expressions for discussing fashion and influence, and check spelling and word forms carefully. Prefer clear, natural combinations over ambitious wording when you are unsure of a phrase.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a reason clause beginning “because” and a conditional example beginning “If.” However, control is inconsistent, and errors in sentence structure, verb forms, agreement, and punctuation sometimes make meaning difficult to follow. For example, “How this trend become much popular on individuals life” is not a complete, correctly formed question, while “the young generation follows … because they made their ideals” shifts tense and has unclear agreement. Several sentences also run together, particularly the concert example and the final body paragraph. Practise forming complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, maintaining consistent tense, and using full stops to separate ideas. Then proofread for articles, plurals, and agreement.
