Nowadays, fashion is become more advance in our worlwide. Many indiviuals are enocourage to wears fashionable dresses becuase they influenced by golbal fashion trends. While, these fashion has great imapct on people's lives. From my point of view, this trend has a positive affect on their indiviuals lives.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You give a clear overall opinion that global fashion is positive, and you include a relevant concern about traditional clothing being displaced. However, the task asks both how global fashion became influential and whether this is positive or negative. The explanation of its influence is only partly developed: the example about actors posting photos on social media suggests one route, but the essay does not clearly explain the broader role of media, advertising, or international access to trends. The positive case is also asserted more than explained, with confidence and personality mentioned briefly. The conclusion repeats your view but ends abruptly. Develop each main reason with a clear explanation and a specific example to address both parts more fully.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has an introduction, a main paragraph presenting benefits, a paragraph noting a drawback, and a concluding statement, so the reader can identify the broad structure. You also use signposts such as “To begin with,” “On the other hand,” and “To sum up.” However, progression within paragraphs is uneven: the first body paragraph moves from occasions to actors, social media, confidence, and personality without clearly connecting these points. Some linking phrases are repetitive or awkward, and references such as “these fashion” and “they” make it difficult to tell exactly what is being discussed. Organise each paragraph around one central idea, then explain and illustrate it in a logical sequence, using clearer references between sentences.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “global fashion trends,” “fashion sense,” “social media platforms,” and “religious culture dresses.” These choices show an effort to discuss both modern trends and cultural identity. However, the range is limited and many spelling, word-form, and collocation errors make parts of the response difficult to understand, for example “fashion is become more advance,” “people are take interset,” and “more advantages than disdavanatges.” Some phrases are also imprecise, such as “boost our personality.” Build a more accurate set of topic-related expressions and check spelling carefully. Prefer natural combinations such as “influence people’s clothing choices” and “undermine traditional dress” over direct or unclear translations.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt some longer sentence forms, including a sentence beginning “For example” and a contrast introduced by “On the other hand,” but control is inconsistent. Frequent errors in verb forms and agreement include “fashion is become,” “people are take,” and “this trending fashion have.” Articles, plurals, and sentence construction are also often inaccurate, as in “the fashionable dresses has many positive sides” and “It is important one.” These errors sometimes make the intended meaning hard to follow. Practise forming accurate simple sentences first, especially subject–verb agreement and verb patterns, then combine related ideas using clauses such as “because” or “although.” Proofread each sentence for a clear subject and correctly formed verb.
