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

Student answer (Band 5.0)

In this modern era people judge people from their dress, what they wear to become attrative and attension seeker for other. So many people belive that we dreeing is influenced by world fachning trend. Many people often follow dressing of their favourite actor like sulman khan and etc.

As the in modern ear world faction has incresed, in past era people wear simple clothes. In current century modren faction has rise dramatically, it has great impact on human life. As every person has its favourite personality he or she used to follow him or her specially dressing and become faction.It is difficult to to answer that what kid of development it is. According to my opnion it negative achivement. People follow only dressing of their heros not their habit.

As many people think that follow modern faction to show other, fell them a shame.For exapmle if a student come from village to city for studing in purpose, the school student argue that he has no sence of wearing and uneduacted, this development leed to have negative impact on students mind and he feel quilty. The modern faction also have drawbacks like if a person does not efford new clothes every month, a child insist to have so it increases stress on her family.

As modren faction also have positive imapcts like it increases the confident level and leave a positive impression to manager or a person meet.

In conclusion, i would say that modren faction trend has great impact on young genaration, it has effected our scoity in both aspects.I thinks people should follow only decent and simple faction trends, so every one can lives its life happily.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You address both parts of the question: you suggest that celebrities and favourite personalities spread fashion trends, and you give a clear overall view that the development is negative, while acknowledging a benefit. The examples about a student being judged for clothing and family pressure to buy new clothes are relevant and help explain your position. However, the explanation of how global fashion became influential is brief and focuses mainly on celebrities; you could also explain the role of social media, advertising, or international brands. Some points are asserted rather than fully developed, and the positive point about confidence is not weighed against the disadvantages. Develop each reason with a clearer explanation or specific example to make the response more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion. The paragraphs generally group related ideas, and signposts such as “For example” and “In conclusion” help readers follow the discussion. However, progression between ideas is sometimes unclear: the opening moves from judging clothing to celebrity influence without explaining the connection, and the paragraph beginning “As the modern fashion…” combines historical change, celebrity imitation and your opinion. Linking phrases such as “As” and “also” are sometimes used mechanically or do not show the intended relationship. Use a clearer sequence—causes of influence, negative effects, then benefits—and make references between sentences more explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “influenced,” “dramatically,” “impact,” “drawbacks,” and “positive impression.” These choices show an effort to discuss both social effects and personal appearance. However, the range is limited and several repeated or inaccurate expressions make parts difficult to understand, such as “modern faction,” “attension seeker,” and “follow dressing.” Spelling errors are frequent, including “attrative,” “belive,” and “genaration,” and some word combinations are not natural in English. Build a reliable set of topic phrases and check spelling and collocation; for example, use “fashion trends,” “seek attention,” and “imitate a celebrity’s style.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You try to use both simple statements and longer sentences with reasons, for example, “if a person does not… a child insist…” and “As… has great impact…”. This shows some attempt to connect ideas rather than relying only on short sentences. However, control is inconsistent, and errors in sentence structure, agreement, articles and verb forms often make the meaning harder to follow. Examples include “Many people often follow dressing,” “a student come,” and “it increases the confident level.” Some sentences are incomplete or awkwardly joined, particularly in the opening and the second paragraph. Practise building accurate subject–verb–object sentences first, then add subordinate clauses with clear punctuation and consistent verb forms.
