Student answer (Band 5.5)

Nowadays, development in latest technology in terms of internet play crucial role in air travelling, business meetings or trade and sharing inforamtion of culture, it enhance globalisation rapidly. However, people believe that through globalisation interaction it will help countries. While others have concern about the usage of internet.

Currently, everyone is using internet for various purposes. People do not required to travel long hours to attend business meetings or deals because now it is possible to do meetings and deals within seconds by internet, that is essential tool for time saving. Furthermore, in past, people did not have inforamtion about different cultures, but now people have enough knowledge various cultures, it is possible via internet. For instance, in past when people travel to different part of world, they want to know about the various information of that country, such as for culture because they want to became familiar with local area, that what they like to wearing, eating and norms of societies, it was hard to get relevant information in that time but with the passage of time now internet help us because it provide each and every information of every country without interacting with contrary beliefs of public.

Meanwhile few people think, internet help us in all form of work which is good sign but it increases many risks, such as trust building in important to attain face to face meetings not virtually and many contrary beliefs circulate on internet which does not have any relevancy to the fact. Huge reliability on internet does not assure you that you are getting accurate information because internet did not present their own detail but it collect according to prompt from various channels without accurate.

In my opinion, development of internet help us more positively than the negativity. We can save time by clicking on screen of internet, through that we can have meeting on virtullay, it reduces timeliess flighting to other part of world. Now world is like a globe village because of internet.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.5

The response addresses all parts of the task by discussing the view that globalisation and increased international interaction are beneficial while also presenting the counter-argument regarding risks, and provides a clear personal opinion in the conclusion. Ideas are relevant, particularly regarding communication, cultural awareness, and time-saving aspects. However, some ideas remain slightly repetitive or under-developed, such as the discussion surrounding internet reliability and contrary beliefs. While the student takes a clear stance, the depth of argumentation aligns more closely with a Band 6.0 profile, where relevant ideas are present but lack full extension.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The response presents a coherent overall arrangement with a discernible introduction, body paragraphs addressing different aspects, and a conclusion. Paragraphing is attempted, though paragraph breaks and transitions could be managed more effectively to show logical progression. Cohesive devices such as 'Furthermore', 'Meanwhile', and 'In my opinion' are used, but referencing is sometimes unclear, and punctuation errors around clauses disrupt the flow. For example, sentences like 'People do not required to travel long hours to attend business meetings or deals because now it is possible to do meetings and deals within seconds by internet, that is essential tool for time saving' run on awkwardly, indicating that cohesion is sometimes faulty or mechanical, matching Band 5.5 to 6.0 descriptors.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.5

The vocabulary used is adequate for the task, attempting less common items such as 'globalisation', 'crucial role', and 'virtual'. However, there are frequent word-choice and collocation errors, as well as spelling mistakes (e.g., 'inforamtion', 'virtullay', 'timeliess flighting', 'became familiar' instead of 'become'). Phrases like 'globe village' represent inaccurate collocations of standard idioms (global village). The range is sufficient to communicate basic points, but noticeable errors in lexical form place this clearly at Band 5.5.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

The response demonstrates a mix of simple and complex sentence forms, though complex structures are often faulty. There are persistent grammatical errors, including subject-verb agreement issues ('internet play', 'internet did not present', 'reliability... does not assure you'), tense inconsistencies, and missing auxiliary verbs ('People do not required'). Punctuation is also problematic, leading to run-on sentences and comma splices. While meaning is generally recoverable, the frequency of errors prevents the writing from reaching Band 6.0, fitting the Band 5.0 profile well.
