Student answer (Band 4.5)

In the world their are many countries where have co education boys and girls are mixed with each other. Also some peoples think boys and girls have benefits while they studing in separeat school .

Overall i am agree with separte school beacuse their are alot of advangtes to both girls and boys. everyone have thier own right if they studying separately they will feel free. beacuse girls have alot of problems like periods (mensis) cycle some parents also didn't allow their childern to study with boys while boys so i am agree with separate school while education and curriculam are same for both.

On the other hand if boys and girls are setting with each other our society and other people blame them that they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

when they starting their school they are just friend but after a month or week they become more close and going

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You state a clear view in favour of single-sex schools: “i am agree with separte school,” and you give relevant reasons, including students feeling freer and some parents’ concerns about mixed education. However, the response addresses the question only minimally. The reasons are asserted rather than explained, and the point about periods is not clearly connected to why separate schooling benefits girls. The final idea about students becoming close is unfinished, so it does not provide a complete example or support. The response also contains 151 words, below the required 250. To develop the task more fully, explain how each reason affects learning or wellbeing, consider a counterargument, and finish with a supported conclusion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

There is a basic attempt to organise the response: an opening introduces the issue, a paragraph gives your position and reasons, and “On the other hand” signals another point. These features provide some direction for the reader. However, the progression is difficult to follow because ideas are crowded together, transitions are limited, and the final sentence stops at “they become more close and going,” leaving the argument incomplete. The opening and body also repeat the same position without clearly advancing it. Use separate paragraphs for your position, supporting reasons, and opposing consideration; connect each point with clear references and transitions, and ensure every sentence is complete.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “co education,” “separate school,” “curriculum,” and “society,” so the main subject is generally recognisable. However, the range is basic and several spelling and word-choice errors make the writing less clear, such as “separeat,” “advangtes,” “mensis,” and “setting” where you mean sitting. Some phrases are also unnatural, including “have benefits while they studying” and “our society and other people blame them.” Aim for accurate topic vocabulary and common collocations, such as “mixed-sex education,” “academic performance,” and “face social criticism.” Proofreading spelling and choosing precise expressions would make your ideas easier to understand.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

The response attempts both simple statements and longer sentences, for example, “everyone have thier own right if they studying separately they will feel free.” This shows an effort to connect ideas, but sentence structures are often incomplete or inaccurate, and errors sometimes make relationships between ideas unclear. Examples include “In the world their are many countries where have co education” and “when they starting their school,” which have problems with clause structure and verb forms. Agreement is also inconsistent in “everyone have.” Use complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, check verb forms and agreement, and add punctuation to separate connected ideas. Practising accurate simple sentences before extending them will improve control.
