Student answer (Band 5.5)

In this competitive world, Majority of people believe that girls and boys are educated together in co-head schools, On the other hand, Some people think that if they are study separately that will be beneficial for their future. I am partially agree with these statement and I will discuss my opinions in following paragraphs before leading to any conclusion.

The primary reason is that why people believe that younger children all boys and girls has to be study together in one school because it helps to increase the communication skills and team-work in their mind because In future when they go in any multinational company. So, they will get communicate with each other easily. Even though, With this type of culture, children always learn about respectful behavior towards each others genders. Hence, It is very important to give education to children in both together in same school.

The reason for another view point that people also believe that girls and boys has to take education in different schools because the biggest fear they have culture changes in this world because parents always worry about their child future. So, they always afraid if their child got distract from their study and if he got attract by wrong peers. Therefore, it also impact on their future as well.

In my opinion, The boys and girls has to study in same schools because it will help them to reduce the biasness in gender due to cultural values in some countries. Hence if they are educated and already know how to behave with each other they will never feel introvert in future.

In conclusion, Although some people wants their girls and boys has to be study in different schools because they already afraid from different cultural values but if they study in same schools it will help them to create them to create positive educational values in their mind. So, it is also helpful for their future cannot be ignored.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5

The response addresses the prompt by discussing both sides of the issue and providing a personal opinion. However, the development of ideas is somewhat superficial. For instance, the argument regarding 'cultural changes' and 'wrong peers' in the third paragraph is vague and lacks specific examples or logical depth. The position is stated as 'partially agree,' but the arguments provided are somewhat repetitive, focusing primarily on communication skills and gender bias. To improve, you should expand on your points with more concrete reasoning or real-world examples to ensure the ideas are fully developed rather than just mentioned.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5

The essay is organised into paragraphs, which is a positive step. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or inaccurate. For example, the use of 'Hence' and 'So' at the beginning of sentences is repetitive and sometimes used incorrectly to link ideas that do not logically follow. Referencing is also problematic; phrases like 'the biggest fear they have culture changes' are unclear, making it difficult for the reader to follow the progression of your argument. Improving the variety of linking words and ensuring that each sentence flows logically from the previous one will significantly enhance the coherence of your writing.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

The vocabulary is generally limited and repetitive. You rely on basic terms like 'good,' 'study,' and 'future' throughout the text. There are also issues with word choice and collocation, such as 'co-head schools' (likely meaning co-educational) and 'reduce the biasness' (bias is more appropriate). Some phrases are awkward, such as 'get communicate with each other.' To reach a higher band, you should aim to use a wider range of topic-specific vocabulary, such as 'socialisation,' 'academic environment,' 'gender stereotypes,' or 'peer influence,' and ensure that words are used in their correct grammatical form.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

There are frequent grammatical errors throughout the essay that occasionally impede communication. Common issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'girls and boys has to be study'), incorrect verb forms (e.g., 'if they are study'), and missing articles. Sentence structures are mostly simple, and attempts at complex sentences often contain errors, such as 'Although some people wants their girls and boys has to be study.' To improve, focus on mastering basic subject-verb agreement and the correct use of modal verbs. You should also practice combining simple sentences into more complex, error-free structures.
