IELTS Writing Task 2 question

The most important aim of science should be to improve people’s lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

 

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Betterment of the human life should be the upmost priority of the science. The primary goal should be to improve individual's human lifestyle.

Science has always been working for the betterment of the humans wheather if we talk about food, global environment or medical study. Science is not realted to one purpose or any single goal. Scientist has worked to serve the whole earth and issues realted to this it has never been one sided. For instance, scientific research on crops or plantation directly benefits the humans in term of air qiality, better quality production of crops and improved knowledge as science has given the list of plants to plant in home which eventually contribute to the fresh air instead of just serving the purpoe of plantation.

Moreover, whatever science has done in history has always benefited humans in some way so restricting the science to just one purpose of human life stryle improvement can affect the scientific world at large scale which will eventually have negative impacts on human life too. Science or scienticts work for the betterment of earth as a whole including aspects like water bodies, forestation, animals conservation better air quality and to prevent natural disasters and to dicover mother nature blessings this is much bigger then serving just for humans. For example, if scientist would not have studied the negative impacts of some chemicals on crops this would have turned out to be disaster for humans ,or if scienec would not have studied the global warming and its affects humans would not have been able to live a secure life.

Although, i belive that improved human life should be the primary goal of the science but other aspects or fields of study should not be ovelooked at all.Thus i partially agree with the statemnt and think that science should work on all fields of life and nature.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is ultimately clear: you partially agree that improving human life should be science’s primary aim, while arguing that research should also protect nature. You address the prompt with relevant examples, including crop research, chemical effects and global warming. However, the opening repeats the idea that science should improve people’s lives before the qualification is established, and the distinction between improving human life and studying nature could be explained more precisely. Some examples, such as the list of plants for home air quality, are not developed enough to show their significance. Explain how environmental research benefits people while also having value beyond immediate human needs, and support each main point with a clearer chain of reasoning.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has an overall structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion. The progression from science’s benefits to the risks of limiting its purpose is understandable, and transitions such as “Moreover” and “Although” help signal relationships between ideas. At times, however, the links feel mechanical, and several points are crowded into long sentences. The second body paragraph moves quickly from water, forests and animals to natural disasters, without clearly grouping or explaining these examples. The conclusion also arrives abruptly. Give each paragraph one central claim, use shorter sentences to develop supporting examples, and make references such as “this” or “it” clearly identify the idea being discussed.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a relevant range of topic vocabulary, including “scientific research,” “global warming,” “air quality” and “natural disasters,” which allows you to discuss both human welfare and the environment. There are also attempts at more formal phrasing, such as “primary goal” and “negative impacts.” However, inaccurate word choice and collocation sometimes make the meaning awkward, as in “human lifestyle,” “serve the purpose of plantation” and “mother nature blessings.” Spelling errors such as “wheather,” “realted” and “dicover” are noticeable and reduce precision. Aim for natural academic combinations and check spelling carefully; for example, use “quality of life,” “the purpose of planting” and “nature’s benefits.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and complex sentence forms, including conditional structures such as “if science would not have studied…” and a concessive opening with “Although.” The main ideas are generally understandable, but some grammatical errors make sentences difficult to follow. For example, “Scientist has worked” has a subject–verb agreement problem, while “whatever science has done in history has always benefited humans” is an awkwardly constructed clause. The long sentence beginning “Science or scienticts work…” also lacks clear grammatical control and punctuation. Practise accurate agreement, articles and conditional forms, and divide long sentences into manageable units. This will help you retain complex ideas while making their relationships clearer.
