Student answer (Band 6.0)

In this era, with the rapid increase in technology the Earth is no more a planet, but is converted into a global village. Nowadays, most of the people believe that globalisation is a good thing.

If we go back ten years ago, we couldn't imagine that we can taste fruits and vegetables from different areas of the world. No one ever imagined that how kiwi tastes but now it has a place at every fruit stand. All this is possible due to the trend of globalisation. We can buy anything from any of our favourite brand, located outside our country, just by placing an online order. In this way, it boosts up the economy of different countries, moreover, due to dependency of countries on each other for their economy, there are less chances of conflict as well.

Similarly, massive increase in air flights have connected people living far away, with their families. You can instantly call your loved ones, whenever your are missing them. Globalisation helps bridge the gap in communication and sharing emotions. You can simply stay connected through messages, video calls or social media apps. In addition, internet plays a vital role in our daily lives. Nowadays, as it is needed for multiple tasks like puchasing things online, studying , staying connected and even for entertainment. Online education has also played a crucial role in the connection of different nations as there is no need of moving to other countries for international courses and you can learn about their culture and their specialised courses from their faculty through online platforms.

Summing up, globalisation has most beneficial effects than detrimental ones, so this should be encouraged.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You discuss several relevant benefits of globalisation, including access to international products, economic interdependence, communication with distant family, and online education. Your final sentence makes your position clear: globalisation has more benefits than drawbacks and should be encouraged. However, the response mainly presents advantages and does not meaningfully discuss the view’s possible limitations or explain why some people might disagree. Some points are also asserted rather than developed: for example, the claim that economic dependence reduces conflict would be stronger with an explanation or a specific example. Develop fewer ideas in greater depth and address both sides before giving your judgement.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall sequence: it introduces globalisation, gives examples of its economic and social benefits, and ends with a conclusion. Paragraphing helps separate the opening from the supporting discussion, and linking expressions such as “Similarly” and “In addition” make relationships between points visible. This meets the lower-band expectation of coherent overall arrangement and shows some features of stronger progression. However, the main discussion is concentrated in one long paragraph, and several ideas move quickly from shopping to conflict, then to family communication and education. Use separate body paragraphs for distinct themes and make the links between claims more explicit; this would make the progression feel more deliberate rather than relying mainly on additive transitions.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of topic-related vocabulary, including “global village,” “dependency,” “bridge the gap,” “international courses,” and “specialised courses.” These choices help communicate the main ideas, and the meaning is generally clear. There are also some imprecise or unnatural expressions, such as “boosts up the economy,” “massive increase in air flights,” and “has most beneficial effects.” Spelling errors such as “puchasing” and the repeated use of broad terms like “things” limit precision. Aim for more natural collocations and specific wording—for instance, describe how trade “supports economic growth” and how air travel “connects people across borders.” Proofreading spelling would also improve control.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 6.0

You attempt a mix of simple and complex structures, including conditional phrasing (“If we go back ten years ago…”) and clauses introduced by “as” and “due to.” Most of the message remains understandable, which is consistent with some grammatical errors that rarely impede communication. However, several sentences contain errors in tense, agreement, articles, or sentence construction. For example, “we couldn't imagine that we can taste” shifts tense, while “Nowadays, as it is needed for multiple tasks…” is an incomplete sentence. In “whenever your are missing them,” the subject form is incorrect, and “there are less chances” has an agreement/quantifier problem. Review sentence completeness and maintain consistent tense, then check articles and subject–verb agreement.
