Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience. Write at least 250 words.

Student answer (Band 5.0)

No, I fully disagree with this because in my opinion , education is combined us not seperated us and if that kind of thought we get from schools, so, what reflects appeared on their behaviour's. I don't think there affect is go on good direction because by selecting seperated education rather than combined education affect their mental health. Such as when both see each other after a period of time they both get suphosticated because they are not be able to talk to each other because of low confidence. Yes , by seperate them on the behalf of sex that generates a lack confidence level in both of them. If we talk aboult future girls will never be performed well in their work area because they were not good at talking with men's , so the problems will appeares when they were in a meeting room and giving a presentation in frontb of all men's it will be very overwhelming for them. Similarly, same thing will happen with boys. So how we can adress these problems just by giving a combined study area and give them right to speak in front of all by taking some presentations and events in which they perform together. Thatshow the confidence level boost. Furthermore , the advatage is they both get ability to uderstand people by just minor communication, specially for girls it will be very beneficial. In general, by these activities we can reduce rapes of girls and make a better society.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

Your position is clear from the opening—“I fully disagree”—and you give relevant reasons, especially that mixed schooling can help students communicate confidently and prepare for workplace interactions. The examples of meetings and presentations make this argument more concrete. However, the response addresses the issue only partially: it focuses almost entirely on disadvantages of single-sex education and does not consider why some people believe separate schools may benefit students. Several claims, such as mixed schooling reducing rape, are asserted without explanation or support. The response also falls one word short of the required minimum. Develop both sides briefly, explain your examples more carefully, and make the link between schooling and your conclusions more convincing.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is a recognisable line of argument: you state your disagreement, discuss confidence and future work, then suggest presentations and shared activities as a solution. Connectors such as “Furthermore” and “Similarly” help signal relationships between points. However, the response is presented as one long paragraph, so its stages are difficult to distinguish. The progression also becomes unclear in places, particularly in “So how we can adress these problems just by giving a combined study area,” where the proposed solution is not smoothly connected to the preceding examples. Some linking phrases are repetitive or awkwardly placed. Use separate paragraphs for your position and reasons, then your conclusion, and make each transition show a precise relationship between ideas.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “confidence level,” “mental health,” “presentation,” and “communication,” and you try to express ideas about education and workplace readiness. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make the meaning difficult to follow, such as “education is combined us,” “get suphosticated,” and “performed well in their work area.” Spelling errors—including “seperated,” “advatage,” and “uderst and”—also reduce clarity. Aim to learn accurate phrases as complete units, such as “co-educational environment,” “build confidence,” and “perform effectively in the workplace.” Proofreading for spelling and choosing familiar, precise wording will make your argument easier to understand.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt to combine ideas using clauses and conditional language, for example, “when both see each other after a period of time” and “If we talk about future.” This shows an effort to move beyond short, simple sentences. However, many sentences contain errors in sentence structure, verb forms, agreement, and punctuation, which sometimes make the intended meaning hard to follow. For instance, “education is combined us not seperated us” lacks a grammatical structure, while “they were not good at talking” shifts tense in a general argument. The long sentence beginning “If we talk aboult future girls…” also needs clearer clause boundaries. Practise accurate basic sentence patterns first, then build longer sentences with controlled subordinate clauses and consistent present-tense forms.
