Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is clear: you agree that science should improve people’s lives, and you support this with relevant examples from healthcare, education and safety. The discussion also recognises that scientific knowledge can be misused, as in weapons and hacking, before concluding that its benefits outweigh its drawbacks. This addresses the main question, but some parts are developed more fully than others. Healthcare receives a specific explanation about diagnosis and treatment, whereas the education examples mainly list online tools and services without showing in detail how they improve people’s lives. The discussion of harmful uses is also brief. To strengthen the response, explain more directly what “improving people’s lives” should mean as science’s priority and develop each example with a clear consequence.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has an overall structure: an introduction, a paragraph presenting benefits, a paragraph that includes further benefits and harmful uses, and a concluding position. Linking phrases such as “On the one hand,” “In addition,” “However,” and “From my perspective” help signal the direction of the argument. However, progression within the body paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow because several topics are crowded together, particularly education, online services, weapons and hacking. The contrast between benefits and drawbacks is not consistently organised, and some references, such as “its advantages,” require the reader to infer what “its” refers to. Use one main idea per paragraph, connect examples explicitly to the central argument, and make references and transitions more precise rather than relying on a sequence of linking phrases.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “diagnosis techniques,” “scientific discoveries,” “innovations,” “safety,” and “research labs.” This gives you some useful range for discussing science’s effects. However, spelling errors and inaccurate or unnatural word combinations are noticeable and sometimes make the reader pause. Examples include “SIGIFICANT,” “LIIVES,” “COMFERT,” and “MISS USE”; phrases such as “safety gateways” and “success of country on big projects” are also unclear or imprecise in context. Several ideas rely on repeated general terms such as “science,” “latest,” and “improved.” Build accuracy by checking spelling and learning common collocations, and choose more precise expressions—for example, “medical advances” or “online learning platforms”—instead of assembling phrases word by word.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences that combine examples and explanations, so there is some variety in structure. The main ideas can generally be understood, but control is uneven: errors in sentence boundaries, verb forms, agreement, articles and punctuation often make the longer sentences hard to process. For example, “science play crucial role” lacks agreement and an article, while “which is only possible” does not clearly agree with the plural items in the preceding list. The opening is also written as a run-on sequence, with several statements joined without clear sentence boundaries. Practise building accurate simple sentences first, then combine related ideas using clauses. Check subject–verb agreement, articles and full stops, especially when listing examples.
