Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You address both parts of the question: social media and influencers are identified as drivers of global fashion, and you present a mainly negative view, citing cultural loss, expense and social pressure. These are relevant ideas, but the explanation is only partly developed. For example, the claim that people dress like Americans to make American friends is difficult to follow and needs a clearer, more realistic explanation of how global trends spread. The discussion of rising prices and reduced demand also lacks a clear link to fashion. Your conclusion repeats the negative position but does not resolve the contrast with the earlier point that shared fashion can help people connect. Develop each reason with a precise explanation and a directly relevant example, and state your overall judgement consistently.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, a paragraph about social media and cultural connection, a paragraph presenting disadvantages, and a conclusion. Linking expressions such as “Furthermore,” “However,” and “In conclusion” help signal these stages. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow because several ideas are joined without clear relationships. The example about wanting American friends, for instance, moves quickly from fashion to friendship without explaining the connection. In the disadvantages paragraph, cost, supply, traditional dress, social pressure and living standards are crowded together. Some linking phrases are repeated or used mechanically. Organise each paragraph around one main point, then explain and illustrate it before moving to the next idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “global fashion trends,” “traditional dress,” “social pressure,” and “living standard.” However, the range is limited and many spelling errors make the writing harder to understand, such as “infulancer,” “fashoin,” and “diadvantage.” Word choice and collocation are also frequently inaccurate: “rising dress as global trends,” “the supply remain same,” and “flex their mony” do not express the intended ideas naturally. Repetition of “global fashion,” “goods,” and “things” further limits precision. Build a bank of accurate topic phrases and check spelling carefully. Prefer specific expressions such as “follow international fashion trends,” “demand for branded products,” and “show off their wealth” where they match your meaning.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including clauses introduced by “because” and “so,” but control is inconsistent. Errors in sentence structure, agreement, articles and verb forms occur frequently and sometimes make relationships between ideas unclear. For example, “the key reason … are social media” has a subject–verb agreement problem, while “this effect the culture” does not use the verb form correctly. In “Most of the adults are adopting a global trends,” the article and plural noun do not agree. Punctuation and sentence boundaries also need attention: several ideas run together, particularly in the paragraph beginning “However.” Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine them with one clear subordinate clause at a time.
