Student answer (Band 5.0)

The most important aim of science should be to improve people’s lives. I strongly agree with this statement science introduce the many machines that make life easier for people . and actually machines do it.

We can see that Science invented the many useful thing which help them for human in various ways. Fox example science helps in medical field like they introduce different medicine to improve the people health in adddition they help in housework like different types of accessories available which make the work easier and did the work in fewer mintes. other than is that they introduce the AI they help students, businessman even though if people want any nformation they would be help for help. If the human want any information or suggestion about the work then AI are ready for help.

Science is also struggle in health develpoment . The major dieseas is canncer then science research how to controll this disease Morever i heared that science made the gold from different metal when i heared i shocked becuase they want to introduce the human made gold . its also work on the robert which would be help in the future and in most countires used the robert for the daily house work. Now human would be replace with rebort but actually in this way they do not help the peoples becuase if the robert come how the common human surive .

In conclusion is that the science ambition to help the people and make the human lives convenient and give all facilities who they want.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

Your position is clear in the opening: “I strongly agree,” and you give relevant examples involving medicine, household devices, AI and cancer research. However, the response only partially develops the argument. Several examples are listed rather than explained, and the point about robots replacing workers introduces a concern without showing how it affects your overall view of science’s purpose. The conclusion restates that science should help people but does not draw together the reasons. The response is also one word below the required 250 words; the 13 words copied from the task prompt are excluded from the count. To strengthen the response, explain how each example improves people’s lives and address the possible drawbacks in relation to your position.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a basic paragraph structure, moving from your position to examples and then a conclusion, so the reader can identify the main topic of each section. However, progression within paragraphs is often unclear: the discussion shifts from medical research to making gold and then to robots without explaining the links between these ideas. Connectors such as “other than is that” and “Morever” are either inaccurate or do not clearly show the relationship between points. Some references, including “they” and “it,” are also difficult to follow. Organise the body around a few main reasons, develop each in sequence, and use linking phrases only when they accurately express the connection.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “medical field,” “medicine,” “AI,” “cancer” and “research,” which helps communicate relevant examples. However, the range is limited and several word-choice, spelling and collocation errors make parts difficult to understand. Examples include “useful thing,” “different types of accessories,” “health develpoment,” and “common human surive.” Repetition of “help,” “people” and “science” also limits precision. Aim to learn accurate phrases for discussing benefits and drawbacks, such as “improve public health” and “reduce the burden of household tasks.” Check spelling and choose words that fit the intended meaning; for instance, clarify what “made the gold from different metal” is meant to describe.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You communicate a clear basic position and attempt to combine ideas, for example in the sentence beginning “If the human want any information or suggestion.” However, the range of sentence structures is limited, and attempts at longer sentences often contain errors that make relationships between ideas unclear. Examples include “I strongly agree with this statement science introduce,” “they help students, businessman,” and “how the common human surive.” There are recurring problems with sentence boundaries, verb forms, subject–verb agreement, articles and plurals. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then join related ideas with conjunctions and correct punctuation. For example, separate the opening claim from its explanation and use consistent present-tense forms when describing what science does.
