Today topic is many people dress up presently are influences by global fashion trends.

According to my perspective , this statement is true because many people plan their dressing with trends and global styles and designs . There are many occeasions came in people's life there they dress according to their regionaly,religiously, traditionally, customely with global touches and themes .

Global fashion has a strong impact on people life beacuse people over the world follow trends and try to make fit in trend .

Its a digital world, all influencers promote their culture and traditions on different platforms which cause strongest attraction on other regions and some where people like and then try it which is the reason a fashion and any trend spread golablly equally.

In this way other people try so many things that is not their region and lately adopt it.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You address both questions: you explain the influence of online platforms and influencers, and you identify benefits as well as a drawback. Examples such as Indian zari work and Pakistani dress styles help make the discussion relevant. However, the response only partially develops the task. The explanation of how trends spread is repeated in several places, while the positive-or-negative judgement is not made clear: you call fashion exchange “a very good thing” but then mention embarrassment without deciding whether the development is mainly positive or negative. Develop the causes in more detail and state a consistent overall view, supported by a specific example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

There is some organisation: the response moves from the influence of digital platforms to examples of fashion exchange and then to benefits and drawbacks. However, the progression is not consistently clear, and several ideas repeat, particularly that people see trends online and adopt them. Paragraphing is absent, so the reader has little help distinguishing the explanation, examples and evaluation. Linking phrases such as “In this way” are used repeatedly, and the relationship between some points is unclear. Use separate paragraphs for the causes, examples and your evaluation, and choose more precise links to show whether an idea is an example, result or contrast.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant topic vocabulary, including “global fashion trends,” “influencers,” “platform,” “zari work” and “fashion industry,” which allows the main subject to be understood. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate or unclear, such as “make fit in trend,” “showcase their fashion … at separately platform” and “good fashion is circulate.” Spelling errors, including “occeasions,” “golablly” and “gloobaly,” also make the writing less clear. Build a more accurate set of phrases for describing influence and cultural exchange, and check spelling and word forms carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences, for example the sentence beginning “Its a digital world” links a cause with its effect. However, the range is limited, and complex sentences are often difficult to follow because of errors in sentence structure, verb forms and agreement. Examples include “many people dress up presently are influences” and “Pakistani uniques dresses styles is loved.” Articles and punctuation are also inconsistently controlled, as in “a fashion” and the frequent spaces before commas. Practise building clear subject–verb–object sentences first, then combine related ideas with accurate clauses. Proofread for agreement, verb forms, articles and sentence boundaries.
