Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0
You give a clear overall view that global fashion is positive, and you offer relevant points about internet access, celebrities and the comfort of newer clothing styles. However, the task asks both how global fashion became influential and whether this is positive or negative; the first part is addressed more clearly than the second, which is supported mainly by one jeans example and a brief comment about influencers. Some claims, such as people learning positive behaviours from trends, need a specific example and explanation. The response is also below the required 250 words: 17 words copied from the prompt were excluded from the count, leaving it 35 words short. Develop each main point with a concrete example and explain its significance to address the task more fully.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5
The response has a basic paragraph structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion. The ideas are generally relevant, and phrases such as “for example” and “In my conclusions” signal examples and closure. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow: the discussion moves from internet access to celebrities and then curiosity without clearly showing how these points connect. Linking expressions such as “Some time” and “but” are repetitive or do not always make the relationship between ideas clear. The conclusion also repeats the positive position rather than drawing together the reasons. Use a clearer sequence—cause, explanation, example—and refer explicitly to earlier points to make the overall argument easier to follow.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “global fashion,” “different cultures,” “influencers,” “comfort” and “population.” The jeans example also gives you an opportunity to use more precise clothing vocabulary. However, the range is limited and many spelling errors make the message harder to read, for example “trandy,” “acessibility,” “popullation” and “comofort.” Some word choices and combinations are unclear, such as “the influencer make an important role” and “new standards.” Repeated use of “trend” and “influencer” also limits variety. Check spelling carefully and learn common collocations, such as “play an important role” and “follow a fashion trend”; this will make your ideas clearer and more natural.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You try to use both simple statements and longer sentences, including a contrast in “it is replaced with the beggy geans … it also make trandy by the influencers but it offers the comfort also.” However, control is inconsistent, and errors in verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence boundaries frequently make the meaning difficult to follow. For example, “global fashion become” needs a correctly formed verb, while “Human have” has a subject–verb agreement problem. Several sentences run together without appropriate punctuation, particularly in the jeans example. Practise building accurate sentences with one main idea, then add a subordinate clause using “because,” “although” or “which.” Proofread for verb forms, agreement and full stops.
