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 5.0)
In a present days, few nations people have an attitude that anyone can do it in the arts like as music, literature, acting, art, etc. As a result, individual with no talent to become rich, popular and genuine skill is not valued or appreciated. I partically agree to this notion and I will discuss more about in the following paragraphs with suitable examples.
On the one hand, skills play a vital role in human life. Nowadays, some children born with many skills so they can perform many types of the arts. In addition, most of the younger generation learn through the internet media source like as YouTube and others as a result they can adopt knowledge and skills very short time because, they can familier with this types of the technology.
On the other hand, few people who have more interest to build a professional career in arts so, they can join this types of the class and learn and more pratice how to develop multiple types of skills which required in the arts. For instanse, few people have no interest in build a career in this field because, most of the people often argue tnhat anyone can do it so they can fell nervous in front of human.
In conclusion, I believe that, people do not have attitude anyone can do it because, it is not easy task and it required lot of hard work and enough time for learn after people perform infront of people. Not only require skills and knowledge but also require hard work and passions.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The student attempts to address the prompt by stating a partial agreement with the notion that anyone can do art and that unskilled people achieve fame, mentioning skills, YouTube, and career choices. However, the development of ideas remains quite limited and vague throughout the essay. For instance, sentences such as 'some children born with many skills so they can perform many types of the arts' lack extension, clear reasoning, and concrete evidence. The writer's position is discernible in the introduction ('I partically agree to this notion'), but the arguments in the body paragraphs drift into general statements about learning online or feeling nervous, rather than directly debating whether genuine talent is undervalued due to untrained individuals becoming rich and famous. Consequently, the response fulfills the basic requirements of addressing the topic, but the ideas are under-developed and lack the depth expected for a higher band, fitting the Band 5 descriptor.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organised into four paragraphs with an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion, showing an attempt at structure. However, the logical progression is frequently disrupted by unclear referencing and weak cohesive links. Transitions like 'On the one hand' and 'On the other hand' are used mechanically and do not accurately reflect opposing or balanced arguments appropriate to the context. Furthermore, sentences are often disjointed, and the relationships between ideas are hard to follow, such as the sudden shift in the third paragraph regarding why people feel nervous in front of crowds. Repetition of transitional phrases and an overall lack of smooth internal cohesion place this performance firmly at Band 5.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The student uses a limited vocabulary range that is minimally adequate to convey basic concepts related to arts, skills, and careers. There are frequent word choice errors and awkward collocations throughout the text, such as 'In a present days', 'individual with no talent to become', 'internet media source like as YouTube', and 'more pratice'. Spelling mistakes ('partically', 'familier', 'Instanse', 'tnhat', 'fell', 'passions') and grammatical confusion with word forms (e.g., 'passions' instead of 'passion', 'for learn' instead of 'for learning') are noticeable and occasionally cause strain for the reader. While the student attempts less common vocabulary like 'professional career' and 'knowledge', the high frequency of lexical inaccuracies prevents the response from reaching Band 6.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The writing demonstrates a very limited range of grammatical structures. The student attempts complex sentences, but these are frequently faulty, poorly constructed, or run-on sentences joined incorrectly by conjunctions and commas (e.g., 'Nowadays, some children born with many skills so they can perform many types of the arts.'). There are persistent, fundamental errors in verb tenses, articles, prepositions, and subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'it required lot of hard work', 'after people perform infront of people', 'people do not have attitude anyone can do it'). These frequent errors cause difficulty for the reader and mean that error-free sentences are the exception rather than the majority. This profile corresponds to a Band 5 in grammatical range and accuracy.
