Student answer (Band 5.0)

It is stated that in some countries today, there is an attitude that's anyone can do it' in the arts-music, literature, acting, art, etc. As a result, people with no talent become risc and famous and genuine talent is not valued or apperciated. However, in my opinion, people who haven't no talent or rich and genuine individuals are not appreciated; it is not the most suitable opion and I strongly disagree with this point.

Nowadays globalization and technological development creating too many facities and opportunities around the world. It helps to the children's develop their talents and skills effectively. They can improve their future life through creative activities. At the same time, a significant of people haven't any talent or skill. While, some people not valued or appreciated them. But I widely believe this can be negatively affect for those individuals. For example, people who with no talen or skill beacome into the mentaly down. That is to say, if someone haven't any talent they have to face so many difficulities in socitey and school such as some children make jokes and they don't stand out. As a consequence, they sufferning from stress and anxiety. Besides this, it will negatively affect future development. They affraid of facing problems, so children may loss interest in going to school.

On the other hand, to address the issue parents and teachers should take effective measures. For instance, parents can guide them to move better paths. Namely, if children can't or less interesting do any entertaintment activity they can move children's preffernce activities such as some sport activities and hand-on creations. In contrast, teachers should give value to the those children and they should appreiciate all students as a same way. Due to this reason children becoming more interest in going to school. At the same time, it whould be help to the children to improve their hiden skills and knowledge effectively.

In conclusion, these days many people have valubale skills and talents. At the same time, some people haven't any talent or skill. So people should appreciate both people. Because value or appriciating people rather than discouraging them can have a positive impact on their future lives.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You state a clear disagreement and offer relevant points about how children can develop skills and how parents and teachers can encourage them. However, the response only partially addresses the central claim: whether people without artistic talent become rich and famous while genuine talent is undervalued. Most of the discussion shifts to the effects of discouraging children who lack skills, which is related but does not directly establish your position on fame, wealth, or recognition in the arts. The examples about school teasing and alternative activities are also not sufficiently connected to the prompt. To strengthen the response, explain why you disagree with the claim and support that argument with a specific example about artists, audiences, or the media. The 37 words copied from the prompt were not counted.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion, and the use of signposts such as “On the other hand” and “In conclusion” helps readers recognise the stages of your argument. However, the overall progression is difficult to follow because the first body paragraph moves from globalisation and opportunities to children’s stress, without clearly linking these points to the question about fame and artistic talent. Some connections are also unclear, as in “At the same time, a significant of people haven't any talent or skill.” Repeated transitions such as “At the same time” and “For example” do not always show the precise relationship between ideas. Organise each paragraph around one directly relevant claim, then explain and illustrate it before moving to the next point.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “globalization,” “opportunities,” “creative activities,” “appreciate,” and “stress and anxiety.” These choices show an effort to discuss development and social effects. However, the range is limited by repeated basic words such as “people,” “children,” “talent,” and “skill,” while several inaccurate word choices or collocations make meaning harder to follow: “move better paths,” “mental[y] down,” and “a significant of people.” Spelling errors such as “risc,” “apperciated,” and “difficulities” also reduce clarity. Build a more precise vocabulary for the actual topic—for example, recognition, artistic ability, public acclaim, and commercial success—and check spelling and word forms carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use both simple sentences and attempts at longer structures, including conditional forms such as “if someone haven't any talent” and a result clause beginning “so children may loss interest.” This shows some effort to vary sentence patterns. However, errors are frequent, and several sentences are difficult to interpret. Examples include “Nowadays globalization and technological development creating,” where the main verb is missing, and “people who with no talen or skill beacome,” where the clause structure is incomplete. There are also recurring problems with subject–verb agreement, verb forms, articles, and sentence construction, as in “children becoming more interest.” Practise building accurate basic clauses first, then combine them using because, although, and if. Proofread each sentence for a subject, a correctly formed verb, and a complete idea.
