Student answer (Band 6.0)
Many countries nowadays, it can be seen that everyone can do several activities such as music, literature, acting,art and so on. Some people believe that individuals can be rich and famous without no intellegent and talented people are being unvalued and unappreciated.I partially disagree with this statement because no talent people become famous through social media.I believe genuine intellegent is important.
To begin with, I agree with this view is that many people without extraordinary talant become famous through socal media and make a subtantial money and fame within a year. Many young people today create videos, music and short film and sent them on socal media. When they post on social media platform, they become celeberity as quickly as possible.By creating popolarity they can buy beautiful houses, cars and can fuilfill their other necessities. For example, many adults in Bangladesh use social media such as facebook, instagram and tiktok. when they make videos and music, they post them on it. Consecquently, many peole can watch their activities and react on it and they become famous as quickly as possible without any hard-work.
On the other hand, I believe, natural talent is important for long term success. While social media can provide temoprary popularity, individuals need creativity, dedication and professonal skills to maintain successful career. Otherwise, people with no talent can loss their popularity within short period of time. Moreover, people who have genuine talent can lead successful career for longer period of time. For instance, singers and actors with extraordinary talent can build strong careers through consistent performance and the quality of their work. Thus, talent is paly a crutial role in achieving future and successful goal in the future.
In conclusion, although many individuals may built temporary popularity and earn a lot of money throungh the internet, I believe, extraordinary talent is still important to build long-term career and gain other professonal prospects.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0
Your position is clear: you partially disagree, accepting that people can gain fame without talent while arguing that genuine ability matters for lasting success. Both sides are addressed, and the examples of social-media creators in Bangladesh and talented singers and actors are relevant. This fits the task because you discuss both rapid popularity and longer-term careers. However, the first body paragraph focuses mainly on how creators become famous and earn money; it does not fully explain whether this means genuine talent is undervalued or how audiences respond to their work. The second paragraph makes a useful contrast, but its claims about sustained success would be stronger with a specific example or clearer explanation of what talent contributes. Develop these links to the question more fully.
Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5
The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, two contrasting body paragraphs, and a conclusion. The progression from temporary social-media fame to the value of talent for a lasting career is easy to follow, and signposts such as “To begin with,” “On the other hand,” and “In conclusion” help guide the reader. This meets the lower-band expectations securely and shows some stronger control through the contrast between the two main points. To make the organisation more fluent, avoid relying so heavily on formulaic transitions and connect each example explicitly to the paragraph’s main claim. Some links are abrupt, particularly the move from creators’ popularity to buying houses and meeting necessities. Clearer referencing and smoother links between cause, example, and conclusion would strengthen cohesion.
Lexical Resource: Band 5.0
You use vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “temporary popularity,” “genuine talent,” “creativity,” “dedication,” and “professional skills.” These choices help communicate the contrast between short-lived fame and sustained achievement. However, the range and control are limited by repeated basic wording such as “famous,” “talent,” and “successful,” as well as noticeable spelling and word-choice errors: “intellegent,” “talant,” “socal,” “subtantial,” and “celeberity.” Some combinations are also unnatural, for example “make a substantial money and fame” and “react on it.” These errors sometimes make the reader pause, even though the central meaning is generally recoverable. Build accuracy by checking spelling and learning common collocations, then vary repeated terms with precise alternatives.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5
You attempt both simple and complex sentence forms, including a contrast introduced by “While social media can provide temporary popularity” and a conditional sentence beginning “Otherwise.” The overall meaning is usually understandable, but some grammatical errors affect clarity. For example, “Many countries nowadays, it can be seen that…” has an incomplete, awkward opening structure, while “I agree with this view is that…” combines sentence patterns incorrectly. There are also errors in verb forms and agreement, such as “people who have genuine talent can lead successful career” and “talent is paly a crucial role.” Improve control by using a clear subject and verb in each clause, checking singular and plural forms, and proofreading sentence boundaries. More accurate complex sentences would make your reasoning easier to follow.
