Student answer (Band 5.5)
Internet is one the most important aspects of modern world. We can do business, communication and explore different cultures globally on internet. There is a belief that increased globalisation is very beneficial in terms of interaction between nations. I warmheartedly agree with this belief towards globalisation.
On the one hand, it allows the individuals to do business with the business tacoons of other countries. They can chat easily with each other related to their requirements or idea of business. For example now people can buy bundle of products on whole sale from Ali Baba and sell them in their country. Globalisation gives easy access to people with the help of internet.
On the other hand, people can travel throughout the world and explore the culture of different nations. Now people can book tickets online of airlines without requesting to any tickets seller. For example, many people go to Dubai to visit the Burj Khalifa. Traveling become very easy with help of internet.
From my perspective, I am very pleases to know about various culture. With help of help i can different movies that represent the culture of countries. For example two weeks I watch a movie related to the culture of muslims like how muslims enjoy their eid festivals. I am very thankful to the internet because with the help of it, I can easily learn about cultures.
In conclusion, on internet people can globaly do different kinds of bussinesess with various people and it can also make communication very easy. We can explore cultures of different societies. In my opinion, i can also love to use the internet to know about cultures and I am really praise the concept of globalisation.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5
Your position is clear: you agree that globalisation is beneficial, and you discuss business, travel and cultural exchange. The examples of buying products through Alibaba, visiting Dubai and watching a film about Eid make the response relevant to the topic. However, the discussion focuses mainly on internet use, while the prompt concerns increased interaction between nations through globalisation more broadly. The business and travel points are stated but not fully explained, and the cultural example is personal without showing in detail how it strengthens relations between nations. To develop the response further, explain the wider effects of these interactions and consider a counterpoint before reaffirming your view.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0
The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two main discussion paragraphs, a personal viewpoint and a conclusion. The signposts “On the one hand,” “On the other hand” and “In conclusion” help readers follow the main stages. Overall, the ideas are arranged coherently, but the progression is sometimes mechanical and the relationship between points is not always clear. For instance, the travel paragraph moves from booking tickets to visiting the Burj Khalifa, then concludes that travel is easy because of the internet, without developing the link to globalisation. The final paragraph repeats earlier points rather than drawing them together. Use clearer links between each example and your central argument, and vary transitions and references.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You use a range of topic-related vocabulary, including “globalisation,” “interaction,” “explore the culture” and “business,” so the main ideas are generally understandable. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate or awkward choices make the writing less natural. “Business tacoons” appears to mean “business tycoons,” while “buy bundle of products on whole sale” is difficult to interpret precisely. There are also spelling errors such as “globaly,” “bussinesess” and “pleases,” alongside repeated use of “people,” “internet” and “culture.” Aim for accurate collocations and check spelling; more precise phrases such as “conduct international business” and “experience other cultures” would make your points clearer.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0
You communicate your main points using mostly simple sentences and make some attempts to combine ideas, for example, “There is a belief that increased globalisation is very beneficial in terms of interaction between nations.” However, the range of sentence structures is limited, and frequent errors in verb forms, articles, agreement and sentence construction sometimes make the reader work to understand the meaning. Examples include “Traveling become very easy,” “I can different movies,” and “I am very pleases.” Articles and prepositions are also often missing or incorrectly used, as in “on internet” and “without requesting to any tickets seller.” Practise building accurate sentences with subordinate clauses, and proofread each sentence for a clear subject, verb and complete meaning.
