Student answer (Band 5.0)
Here we have to discuss that aim of science should be to improve peoples life or not.
According to mine , I feel that aim of science should be to improve peoples life because it can play a very important role in the success of a country or nation.
I feel like that everything in this world is directly relating to science and its aspects and development and success of everything fairly depends upon the science . if anyone take its benefits OR advantages seriously , then it will give success in return of that sincerity.
Overall, there are many things in the world to get success and to be develop but science is more vital in this manner . FOR EXAMPLE , you know that china is epidometic in the world of success which tells us about the importance of science and its parts.
If we are able to see in past then we will come to know that development took place on the behalf of philosophy but that was not more authentic but now we can see that development because of science .
On the other hand , if i talk about my experience then i will explain it as that science is playing a big role in the every department and in every aspects of institution to make the firms more advance
By this, the life become more easy and more conservative. these all things are very important for development and to be more modern . thats why , all things lie a lot of importance.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses the prompt by taking a clear position that science should aim to improve lives. However, the development of ideas is limited and lacks depth. The argument relies on vague assertions, such as 'everything in this world is directly relating to science,' without providing concrete, logical explanations. The example of China is mentioned as 'epidometic' (likely meaning 'emblematic' or 'a leader'), but the connection to the prompt is not clearly explained. The essay lacks a balanced view or a more nuanced exploration of the topic, resulting in a repetitive argument that does not fully explore the implications of the statement.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is divided into short, somewhat disjointed paragraphs. While there is an attempt to use cohesive devices like 'On the other hand' and 'For example,' these are often used incorrectly or do not logically connect the ideas. The progression of ideas is difficult to follow because the sentences lack clear logical links. Referencing is sometimes unclear, and the overall structure feels mechanical rather than flowing. The transition between the introduction, the body, and the conclusion is abrupt, making it difficult for the reader to track the development of the argument.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is quite limited and often inaccurate. There are several instances of word-choice errors, such as 'epidometic' instead of 'emblematic' or 'a leader,' and 'conservative' used in a context where it does not fit. The range of vocabulary is basic, relying on repetitive phrases like 'success' and 'development.' There is little evidence of the ability to use less common lexical items or precise collocations. The errors in word choice occasionally cause confusion, though the general meaning remains discernible.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The essay contains frequent grammatical errors that affect the clarity of the writing. There are issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'life become more easy'), article usage, and sentence structure. Many sentences are simple or contain run-on structures that lack proper punctuation. While the meaning is generally understandable, the high frequency of errors in basic grammar and the lack of complex sentence structures limit the score. Punctuation is also inconsistent, with unnecessary capitalization and spacing issues throughout the text.
