Student answer (Band 5.5)

The most significant purpose of science is to develop individuals regular lives. I strongly agree that people need science for all their activities.

There are several reasons why people need science for their living. On the one hand people need science for their communications. It helps us to communicate people who are living in different countries.we can easily communicate them beacuse of the invention of science which made some social platforms. This just not helps us connect each other it will also support by doing chats, share expressions through post. Another important the invention of science is that medical equipments such as, people can easily findout their disease with the help of technology which is only posssible for science. For example, in this modern era people can test their whole body organs through MRI,CT scan.

Furthurmore, another important sector is agriculture. with the help of science, scientists invented some soil where we can easily find what types of soil is perfect for individual seeds. For example, most underprivileged countries, agricultures are played a vital role for their economic growth. Moreover, science is important for our educational sector too.by using technology,we broaden our knowledge. For example, chatGpt,google and gemini helps us to findout exact problems and gave us useful information. So students are not fully dependent their teacher.

In conclusion, science play a vital role in our lives. Science invented some important paltforms where people solely depent for their communication also use it for their educational purpose.so without science we can not think a second of our lives.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You take a clear position in favour of science improving people’s lives, and the examples about communication, medical scans, agriculture and education are relevant to the topic. However, the response mainly lists areas where science is useful rather than explaining how these benefits improve people’s lives or why this should be science’s most important aim. The discussion of agriculture and education is especially brief, and the examples are not developed with specific outcomes. The opening claim that people need science “for all their activities” is also broader than the argument that follows. To strengthen the response, explain the impact of each example and address the idea of priority—for instance, whether improving wellbeing should take precedence over scientific knowledge for its own sake.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has an introduction, a sequence of supporting points and a conclusion, so the reader can identify its general direction. Paragraphing also separates the examples to some extent. However, progression is limited because several points are added in list-like fashion, and the relationship between them is not always clear. Linking phrases such as “On the one hand,” “Furthermore” and “Moreover” are used, but some connections feel mechanical or do not signal a genuine contrast. Within the communication section, the ideas about chatting and sharing expressions repeat the same benefit. Improve cohesion by grouping related examples, using clearer topic sentences, and explaining how each example supports the central claim. Check sentence boundaries and spacing so that ideas do not run together.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use topic-related vocabulary such as “communication,” “medical,” “agriculture,” “economic growth” and “educational sector,” which helps convey the main areas of discussion. However, the range is limited and several phrases are inaccurate or unnatural, sometimes making the intended meaning less clear. For example, “develop individuals regular lives” is not a natural way to express improving people’s lives, and “invented some soil” does not communicate the intended agricultural idea. There are also repeated general words such as “important” and “science,” alongside spelling errors including “beacuse,” “Furthurmore” and “depent.” Build a more precise range of collocations and check spelling; choose words that describe the actual benefit, such as diagnosis, crop production or access to information.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more extended sentences, including examples introduced with “For example” and a concluding sentence beginning “So.” However, the range is limited, and errors occur frequently in sentence structure, agreement, articles and punctuation. Examples include “people need science for their communications,” “This just not helps us connect each other,” and “science play a vital role.” The sentence beginning “Another important the invention of science is that medical equipments such as” is incomplete and difficult to follow. Several sentences also run together after full stops, while commas and capital letters are inconsistently used. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, and review subject–verb agreement and sentence boundaries before adding more complex structures.
