Student answer (Band 6.0)

Different people have different opinions, especially when we are talking about technology growth. People who had already experienced have built their opinion on it. For the statement mentioned, in my personal view, i believe there can be both sides to it.

I feel that in recent years globalization is increasing rapidly due to the easy access to internet, air travel, import export and cultural popularity. It is great sign for human development whereas, countries are more engaged now with each other in the form of business, tourism and exploring culture of different nations and their locals. Which is helping to create great relation between the countries and creating more work opportunities for the people. Moreover, increase in airlines helped habitants to move from one place to another easily and more fast as compare to older times. Overall, its a good sign of development and more diversified culture among the people.

But, there is another side to it, people are travelling more which cause pollution in the environment. After the development of internet, Air travel humans are trading more frequently due to demand which cause the negative impact on nature and global warming increasing day by day. In the recent years, as study shows various type of birds categories disappeared from the earth, rain reduced and other nature activities are not similar now as compare to past. Aircrafts are using more fuel and which generate air and noise pollution at higher level results are appearing in study and newspapers.

In conclusion, it is a great achievement for the entire world is growing together with the help of internet, business, travel culture diversification. However, its impacting in negating way and creating problem for the environment, human and other natural creatures.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses both sides of the argument regarding globalisation, covering the benefits of cultural exchange and economic growth, as well as the environmental drawbacks. However, the development of these ideas is somewhat superficial. For instance, the mention of 'various type of birds categories disappeared' is vague and lacks specific evidence or logical connection to the argument. While the position is clear, the supporting points could be more thoroughly extended to reach a higher band. The introduction is also quite generic and does not fully paraphrase the prompt, which limits the overall impact of the task response.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is organised into clear paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the progression of ideas. However, the use of cohesive devices is often mechanical or slightly awkward, such as starting sentences with 'Which is helping...' or 'After the development of internet, Air travel humans are trading...'. These transitions do not always create a smooth flow between sentences. Additionally, some referencing is unclear, and the logical connection between the benefits of globalisation and the environmental consequences could be more effectively bridged to improve the overall coherence of the argument.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

The vocabulary is generally adequate for the task but lacks the precision and variety required for a higher band. There is some repetition of basic terms like 'good sign' and 'development'. While the student attempts to use topic-specific vocabulary such as 'cultural popularity' and 'diversified culture', there are noticeable errors in word choice and collocation, such as 'habitants' instead of 'inhabitants' and 'in negating way' instead of 'in a negative way'. These errors do not impede communication, but they do restrict the range of lexical expression.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.5

The essay contains a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, but there are frequent grammatical errors throughout. Issues include missing articles ('the internet'), incorrect verb forms ('people are travelling more which cause pollution'), and punctuation errors. The sentence structure is often fragmented, particularly in the second paragraph where clauses are incorrectly joined. While the meaning remains clear, the frequency of these errors indicates a lack of control over more complex grammatical structures, which prevents the essay from reaching a higher band score.
