Student answer (Band 5.0)

It is undeniable fact that, global warming is increasing in our day to day life which involve combustion from factories and power plant are terrific reason however this councern about environment have been rising people periotize recyling more and more everyday. But some advice that recycling is not the only result, we need to reduce our consumption. In my opinon, both methodolgy are different and should be approve based on situation.

To begin with, many individual try to reuse or recycle the product in order to save the planet. In this method the item can be improved by cleaning and changing minor parts and it is ready use as fresh. For example, motorcycles require regular washing to prevent dirt and dust in chain pockets. The full maintenance of motorcycle provide less pollution and the improve the performance.

In contrast, some people say that reducing the consumption of resources will result in the better environment and improve the air quality. The less usage to product enable person to stable on selected choices and limitation on their daily routine. For instance, 50% of people around the world are suggest that avoid eating non-veg because it involves animal scarfice. It helps people to educate and understand the function of foodchain system and to save from global crises.

In conclusion, both methods are depends on

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You introduce both views and state an opinion, but the discussion only partially addresses the question because the supporting ideas are limited and sometimes do not explain the link to consuming less or recycling. The recycling paragraph focuses on washing and maintaining a motorcycle, which is not clearly an example of recycling. The consumption paragraph mentions avoiding meat, but does not explain how this represents reduced consumption or how it would improve the environment. Your position—“both methodolgy are different and should be approve based on situation”—is difficult to interpret, and the conclusion is unfinished (“both methods are depends on”). The response is also below the required 250 words. Develop each view with a directly relevant example, explain its environmental effect, and finish with a clear, consistent opinion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs signposted by “To begin with” and “In contrast,” and a concluding paragraph, so the reader can identify the intended structure. However, progression within paragraphs is uneven: the motorcycle-maintenance example does not clearly follow from the point about recycling, and the food-chain example is not fully connected to reducing consumption. Some links, such as “In this method” and “It helps,” have unclear references, while the conclusion stops before completing the argument. To improve, make each paragraph follow a clear sequence—main idea, explanation, relevant example, and link back to the question—and use referencing that makes the relationship between sentences explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt topic-related vocabulary, including “global warming,” “recycle,” “consumption,” “pollution,” and “air quality,” and use some variety when discussing the two views. However, spelling and word-choice errors are frequent enough to distract or sometimes make meaning unclear, as in “councern,” “periotize,” “recyling,” and “animal scarfice.” Several combinations are also unnatural, such as “the item can be improved by cleaning” and “stable on selected choices.” Choose precise terms that match the task: recycling means processing or reusing materials, whereas maintaining a motorcycle is not itself recycling. Proofread spelling and learn common collocations such as “reduce consumption” and “improve air quality.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentence forms, including a contrast introduced by “however” and clauses beginning with “in order to” and “because.” Nevertheless, errors are frequent, and some sentences are difficult to follow. For example, “It is undeniable fact that, global warming is increasing” has article and punctuation problems, while “both methods are depends on” has an incorrect verb construction and is incomplete. Agreement and sentence structure also need attention in “combustion from factories and power plant are” and “The full maintenance … provide.” Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, check singular/plural agreement, and use articles consistently. Then proofread punctuation, especially around linking words.
