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 6.0)

People with talent are left behind while other with no talent gain popularity due to mindset anyone can excel in art.Some poeple agree while others disagree.I contradict the idea.

Unlike science that governs on principles and one can learn it art reflects the creativity one is born with or developes overtime. A person capable of doing any form of art shows his uniqueness from other in the same field be it music,acting even painting so only one who is more creative or best in his respective form of art gain popularity.Example great poets like Shakespear, Oscar wilde, Rumi all gained popularity due to their unique writing styles.

World today is digitalized and people are aware of whom they would appreciate for their talent.It is evident from growing number of KPOP culture in which the artists make their own unique music and then present it in the most appealing way by incorporating dances and acts while live performances which grabs attention worlwide.People get attracted to uniqueness of art and thus this uniqueness of artists decide wether they would get fame and gain hefty amount from their art or lag behind.

While some people disagree and believes that sometime people with zero talent go forward just by luck or by growing demand of that art in that specific region.It can be seen that due to increase of Ai generated digital illustrations anybody who knows the commands and proper prompts of Ai can now make make advertisements for firms or bakeries leadinng to promotion of such people in comparison to the one who had proper graphic designing courses done and practiced alot supressing their creativity and talent.Also people purchase art that is being sold on internet but they donot or are reluctant to buy from a street artist just because it is not trendy now no matter how talented the street artist is.Same goes for street singer and the one who sing in concerts.

Art reflects diversity of ideas among people and their incorporation in form of creativity and only purely talented people come into consideration.I strongly support the idea that only talented people get famous and earn through their art.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is clear: you state, “I contradict the idea,” and conclude that talented people are the ones who become famous and earn from their art. You address both sides by discussing artists’ distinctive creativity and then considering AI-generated illustrations and the popularity of street art. These examples are relevant, but the argument is not fully consistent: the AI and street-artist examples support the claim that people without conventional talent can gain attention while genuine talent is overlooked, which conflicts with your stated position. The opening also briefly presents the issue as a debate without immediately clarifying your own view. Explain how these counterexamples affect your position, and develop fewer examples with clearer reasoning and evidence.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable overall structure: an introduction, arguments about artistic distinction and digital audiences, a counterargument, and a conclusion. Paragraphing helps separate these stages, and transitions such as “Unlike science,” “While some people disagree,” and “Also” guide the reader. However, progression is sometimes difficult to follow because several claims and examples are packed into long sentences. The paragraph beginning “While some people disagree” combines AI illustrations, online art purchases, street artists, and singers without clearly showing how each point relates to your position. Some linking is also mechanical, and references such as “this uniqueness” could be more precise. Use clearer topic sentences and explain the connection between each example and your central argument.

Lexical Resource: Band 6.0

You use an adequate range of topic vocabulary, including “creativity,” “unique writing styles,” “digitalized,” “AI generated digital illustrations,” and “graphic designing.” These choices allow you to discuss different art forms and changing audiences. You also attempt more specific expressions such as “hefty amount” and “grabs attention worldwide,” though some combinations are not quite natural or precise in this context. Spelling errors—including “poeple,” “worlwide,” “wether,” and “Shakespear”—also reduce accuracy. Some wording is vague, for example “any form of art” and “zero talent,” which can make the argument sound overly absolute. Aim for more precise, natural collocations and check spelling carefully; this will make your ideas clearer and more convincing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and complex sentence forms, including contrast clauses such as “While some people disagree” and a relative clause in “the artists make their own unique music.” Meaning is generally understandable, but some grammatical errors occur across the response. For example, “other with no talent gain popularity” has a number-agreement problem, while “only one who is more creative … gain popularity” has an agreement error and an unclear comparison. The sentence beginning “It can be seen that due to increase of AI…” is also difficult to control because several ideas are joined together. There are errors with articles, plurals, and sentence boundaries. Practise checking subject–verb agreement and breaking long sentences into clearer units while retaining a range of structures.
