Student answer (Band 5.0)

Now a days in some states, there is a mindset "everyone can do it" in the Arts music. literature, acting and art. As a outcome, Human with no talent become wealthy, well known and a genuine gift is not worth it or celebrated.

i absolutely disagree. Why do most of of the people think that music, acting and Literature and etc are not talent? only few of the % around the world have sweet voice who can sing. Acting requires guts to perform under lots of people. And as for literature, a person is expressing his thought, its imaginations under a book with and help of a text. for example people who reads books often tell us that this xyz book was so fantastic that i was imaganing my self in that charactor.

At the start these talent earn little amount of money. Even taking class they have to pay a fees, its not for free, on the example street a person is showcasting its art, a group of musicions are showing there tallent they all do it for little money or no money.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0

The response addresses the prompt by taking a clear position, but the development of ideas is limited. While you attempt to explain why arts require talent, the arguments are somewhat superficial and lack depth. For instance, the point about social media is relevant but is not fully connected to the core argument regarding whether 'anyone can do it.' Furthermore, the response is under the 250-word minimum, which significantly impacts the ability to fully develop your arguments. To improve, ensure you provide more detailed examples and expand on your reasoning to meet the length requirement and provide a more comprehensive analysis of the topic.

Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.5

The essay is organized into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow your argument. However, the use of cohesive devices is quite limited and sometimes mechanical. Phrases like 'At the start' and 'Since now' are used to transition, but the flow between sentences is often disjointed. The referencing is occasionally unclear, such as in the final paragraph where the pronoun usage makes the argument difficult to follow. To improve, focus on using a wider variety of linking words and ensure that each paragraph has a clear topic sentence that connects back to your main thesis.

Lexical Resource — Band 5.0

Your vocabulary is generally basic and repetitive. You rely on simple terms like 'wealthy,' 'well known,' and 'talent.' There are also several instances of word-choice errors and awkward phrasing, such as 'Human with no talent' instead of 'people' and 'its imaginations under a book' which is unclear. The spelling errors, such as 'musicions' and 'collabration,' also detract from the overall quality. To reach a higher band, you should aim to incorporate more precise vocabulary related to the arts and professional success, and pay closer attention to word forms and collocations.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0

The essay contains a high frequency of grammatical errors that occasionally impede communication. There are frequent issues with subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'these talent earn'), article usage (e.g., 'on the example street'), and sentence structure. Many sentences are fragmented or run-on, such as 'And this talent has to been through out should be called a talent.' While you attempt some complex structures, they are often inaccurate. To improve, focus on mastering basic sentence construction, ensuring correct verb tenses, and proofreading for punctuation errors that disrupt the flow of your writing.
