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)

In some countries, people with exceptional talent are not receiving deserved attention while commercial artists are becoming wealthy day by day. In this regard, it is questioned that why such happens that commercialisation of talent is out-looking genuine talent. I agree up-to a large extent that 'anyone can do it' attitude is affecting the people with genetically gifted talent.

It is undeniable that continuous improvement in technology has opened doors of social media for a large amount of population due to which competition is ultimately increasing in the fields such as - music, literature, acting, art and so on. This arises the problem of luck as social media algorithm is unpredictable and could unintentionally launch such artists with lesser or no talent in the aforementioned fields while the people who actually deserve the attention are left behind. In addition, 'anyone can do it' attitude has introduced problems like nepotism which badly affect the talent recognition of genetically gifted people who deserve it.

However, people like so can help themselves by promoting and advertising their talent and abilities in the fields they are expert in, which will not only boost their recognition but also will help them to experience the wealth and fame about which they have been desperate all along. Also, as their is large population and competition is continuously increasing, regular practice and hard-work along with consistent showcases of the talent are one of the only means to achieve success in today's world.

In my opinion, as there is nothing promised in this world, people with exceptional talent would have to try endless ways so they can respectively reach the mainstream audience that would allow the artists to fulfill their dreams. Nonetheless, people must also derive their focus from commercial talent that have been affecting the natural talent of people and focus more on underrated and deserving artists across the globe.

To conclude, although arising problems due to 'anyone can do it' attitude is affecting natural talent of genetically gifted people yet they can practice the aforementioned solutions to gain benefits and ultimately achieve success along with wealth and fame.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 6.0

The response addresses the prompt and maintains a clear position throughout. You have identified the core issue—the impact of the 'anyone can do it' attitude on genuine talent—and provided relevant arguments regarding social media algorithms and nepotism. However, the development of ideas is somewhat uneven. While the second paragraph is well-supported, the third and fourth paragraphs are slightly repetitive in their advice to artists. To reach a higher band, ensure that each paragraph introduces a distinct, fully developed point rather than reiterating the need for 'hard work' and 'promotion'. The conclusion effectively summarizes your stance, though it could be more concise.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 6.0

The essay is logically organized with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You use a range of cohesive devices such as 'In addition', 'However', and 'To conclude' to link ideas. However, some transitions feel slightly mechanical, and the flow between sentences is occasionally interrupted by awkward phrasing, such as 'In this regard, it is questioned that why such happens'. Paragraphing is used appropriately to separate distinct ideas. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of cohesive devices and ensuring that the relationship between sentences is more fluid and natural.

Lexical Resource — Band 6.0

You demonstrate an adequate range of vocabulary for the task, including terms like 'commercialisation', 'unpredictable', 'nepotism', and 'mainstream audience'. There are some instances of imprecise word choice or awkward collocations, such as 'genetically gifted talent' (talent is usually described as 'innate' or 'natural' rather than 'genetically gifted') and 'out-looking' (which is not standard English). Additionally, phrases like 'people like so' are informal and detract from the academic tone. To achieve a higher score, focus on using more precise academic collocations and avoiding informal or non-standard expressions.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 6.0

You attempt a mix of simple and complex sentence structures, which is a positive step. However, there are frequent grammatical errors that occasionally impede clarity. For example, 'it is questioned that why such happens' is syntactically incorrect, and 'as their is large population' contains a spelling error ('their' instead of 'there'). There are also issues with article usage and subject-verb agreement throughout the text. While these errors do not prevent the reader from understanding your main points, they occur frequently enough to limit the score. Focus on proofreading for basic subject-verb agreement and standard sentence construction.
