IELTS Writing Task 2 question

In some countries today, there is an attitude that 'anyone can do it' in the arts - music, literature, acting, art, etc. As a result, people with no talent become rich and famous and genuine talent is not valued or appreciated.

Do you agree or disagree?

You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

Student answer (Band 5.5)

Yes, I agree with this statement. In some countries, People say that Anyone can do dancing music and arts. They tend to do their own songs and do dancing covers and some do their own arts as well.Nowadays people have Social media Platforms like Youtube.Hence they can do their original songs and put them on Youtube. People may lsiten to that even though that is not beautiful.Thereby view count goes high, They will get revenue and eventually they become famous as well. Not only in music , Even people tend to do dancing covers to a famous and viral songs. Due that viral song, that video goes viral as well. Not only in youtube, even in Tiktok and instagram they are being viral.As now content creators get paid on social media, They get rich as well.

Even with the development of Artificial interlligence People could make AI songs as their voice and they publish, which is not good.By that those people become famous.But the real talent is not valued.

Not only that, But also in literature field as well, those real talented people never get the opportunity to show their talents and colours. Because those fake people with fake academies using AI tools and doing those criticisms and via social media platforms, they reach their target audience as well. Eventually wrong person get appreciated and people with rare talent and real skill is not valued.

According to my point of view, I think that this attitude should be changed. Even that is a positive attitude, It will create some bad influence in the society and some real talent will be hidden.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

Your position is clear from the opening—“Yes, I agree”—and you give relevant examples involving social-media music and dance content, AI-generated songs, and literature. These points show an understanding of how online popularity may reward people the writer considers less talented. However, the response only partly develops the task: it does not explain clearly what counts as genuine talent or why popularity and income necessarily mean that talent is not valued. The literature paragraph is especially difficult to follow, and claims about “fake academies” and criticism are not explained or supported with a specific example. To strengthen the argument, develop fewer points in more depth and connect each example directly to the claim in the question.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic overall structure: it begins with your opinion, gives examples in separate paragraphs, and ends with a concluding view. The examples are generally grouped by topic, which helps the reader follow the broad direction. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes unclear, and several linking expressions are repetitive or awkward, including “Not only in music,” “Not only that,” and “Eventually.” The literature paragraph moves from talented writers to “fake academies,” AI tools, criticism, and social media without showing how these ideas connect. Some sentences also run together, making relationships between points harder to see. Use clearer topic sentences and explain each link between cause, popularity, and the effect on genuine artists.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “revenue,” “content creators,” “viral,” and “rare talent,” and these terms help communicate your main examples. However, the range is limited and several expressions are imprecise or unnatural, such as “do their own arts,” “a famous and viral songs,” and “show their talents and colours.” Repetition of “famous,” “talent,” and “people” also makes the argument less precise. There are noticeable spelling errors, including “lsiten” and “interlligence,” and inconsistent capitalisation of common terms. Aim for more accurate collocations and a wider range of words for popularity, artistic skill, and recognition; check spelling and word forms carefully during revision.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt some longer sentences and use clauses to explain cause and effect, for example, “People may listen to that even though it is not beautiful” and “Because those fake people … reach their target audience.” However, sentence structures are limited overall, and attempts to combine ideas often produce faulty or incomplete sentences. Examples include “Due that viral song, that video goes viral as well” and “Even with the development of Artificial intelligence People could make AI songs as their voice and they publish.” Agreement and article use are also inconsistent, as in “wrong person get appreciated.” Capitalisation and punctuation errors sometimes interrupt the flow. Practise building accurate complex sentences, especially with because, although, and relative clauses, and check each sentence for a clear subject and verb.
