Student answer (Band 5.5)

Last years there is a few opinions about globalisation through the internet of air travel,trade and popular culture has glow up and most of them think that connection of nations through globalisation is a great thing and in my point of view it is also incredible way since it has many benefits for countries and their civilians.

Most nations gets benefit from this by making each other more friendly and make them to explore their knowledge about business economy or history of this nation and also it is a good thing for most tourist or enterpreneurs from other countries. Also it can get financial benefit for the country by adverts from the internet and getting popular for citizens of other country who want to visit this country and maybe invest money which is great plus for the nation.

Also, there are some other sides of this because country can lose their cultural identity, huge migration problems and increase the percentage of economical crisis which could get headache levels of problems for the goverment and if they are not going to find fast solution it will cause many argues between them and the citizens.

In conclusion, it is depends on the situations and the way how country is ready for that because of problems that can happen and finding solutions of them but we see how most countries is choosing this way and many of them has more benefits than the problems but goverment have to be ready for everything that can happen.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You give a clear overall opinion that globalisation is beneficial, while acknowledging possible disadvantages such as cultural loss and migration pressures. This addresses the central discussion, and the examples of tourism, online advertising and investment are relevant. However, the benefits are mostly listed rather than explained, and the negative points are introduced briefly without showing how they arise or giving a specific example. The conclusion also makes your position less definite by saying it “depends on the situations,” without clarifying which conditions matter. To develop the response further, explain one or two key effects in more depth and make your final judgement consistent with the opinion stated in the introduction.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, a paragraph on benefits, a paragraph on drawbacks and a conclusion. Paragraphing helps the reader identify the main stages of your discussion, and transitions such as “Also” and “In conclusion” signal movement between ideas. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes unclear: the benefits paragraph moves from friendship and knowledge to tourism, advertising and investment without explaining the links between them. Some connections are also awkward, particularly the shift to “there are some other sides of this.” Use clearer topic sentences and develop each paragraph around a central point, with linking phrases that show cause, contrast or example rather than simply adding another idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “cultural identity,” “financial benefit,” “migration problems” and “invest money.” These choices show that you can discuss both economic and social effects. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate or unnatural expressions make parts of the response difficult to understand, such as “has glow up,” “get headache levels of problems” and “many argues.” Spelling and word-form errors, including “enterpreneurs” and “goverment,” also reduce precision. Build a bank of accurate topic vocabulary and check collocations and word forms; for example, describe a country as “attracting investment” rather than “getting popular” with investors.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use both simple statements and attempts at longer sentences, including a conditional idea about governments finding solutions. However, complex sentences are often difficult to follow because of errors in verb forms, agreement, articles and sentence construction. Examples include “Most nations gets benefit,” “it is depends on the situations,” and “many of them has more benefits.” The opening sentence also combines several ideas without a clear grammatical structure. These recurring errors sometimes make the intended meaning unclear. Practise building accurate sentences with one main clause and a clearly connected supporting clause, then check subject–verb agreement and verb forms before adding more complex structures.
