Student answer (Band 5.0)

In many years there is considerable debate over students study plan.A big number of students choose to study English independently on self behafe rather than attending a class.Howerver without the guidance of tutor,students often find it difficult to manage study .I am completely agree with this view. In this eassy I discuss why I agree with this argue.

The prime reason I, stronlgy agree with this is that students do not achieve their goal without the assistance of tutor.Teacher have a huge experience and knowledge of their subject.They gave plans to the student in the form of assignments and other formal activities in the class.For instance a teacher gaves a study plan to the students and clear every doubt of the students.For example if students have trouble in grammer and tutor must clear their doubts and make it easy.so thats why I, totally agree with this view.

One of the reason I agree with this view is that in self behalf study student do not fully concentrate on the subject although they waste thire Time.Furthermore if study want to learn independently they do not prepare full course and this is just a waste of Time.For example if citizens wants t o learn English independently they may jot be concentrate in this subject.A class room environment is the best for acdamics.

In conclusion, I strongly agree that without the guidance of teacher students find it difficulty to manage study.The main reason is tutor provide better study plan and clear every concept especially when student's stuck in some difficult topics.So that's why,Ipreferred Tutor is Best for the learning English.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

Your position is clear: you state, “I am completely agree with this view,” and maintain agreement in the conclusion. You give two relevant reasons—teachers provide plans and explain difficult points, while independent learners may struggle to concentrate—and include examples about grammar and learning English. However, these ideas are only partly developed. The examples are brief and sometimes hypothetical, and the second reason repeats the claim that independent study is ineffective without explaining when or why this happens. The response therefore addresses the question, but its support remains limited and some points are unclear. To strengthen it, explain each reason in more detail and use a specific, relevant example to show how teacher guidance improves learning.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Paragraphs generally focus on one reason, and linking expressions such as “Furthermore,” “For instance,” and “In conclusion” help signal movement between points. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes repetitive or difficult to follow. The first body paragraph uses both “For instance” and “For example” for closely related points, while “so thats why” repeats the stated position rather than advancing the explanation. Some references are unclear, as in “if study want to learn independently.” Use fewer, more precise linking phrases, make pronoun references clear, and organise each paragraph around a reason followed by explanation and evidence.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some vocabulary relevant to education, including “guidance,” “assignments,” “concentrate,” and “study plan,” so the main topic is usually understandable. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, particularly “agree with this view,” “students,” and “study.” Frequent spelling errors—such as “Howerver,” “grammer,” “thire,” and “acdamics”—and inaccurate or unnatural expressions, including “self behafe” and “clear every doubt,” make the writing harder to read. Aim to learn accurate collocations as complete phrases and check spelling carefully. More precise wording, such as “study independently” and “address students’ questions,” would make your ideas clearer and more appropriate for an academic essay.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a conditional example beginning “if students have trouble in grammer,” but control is weak and errors occur throughout. Examples include “I am completely agree,” “Teacher have,” and “students find it difficulty,” which show problems with verb forms, subject–verb agreement, and sentence construction. Some longer sentences are difficult to interpret, such as “if study want to learn independently they do not prepare full course.” Articles, plurals, and punctuation are also inconsistent, with missing spaces after full stops and commas. Practise building accurate basic sentences first, then add subordinate clauses. Check each sentence for a clear subject and verb, correct agreement, and appropriate articles before submitting.
