Student answer (Band 5.5)

Today in some countires there is ongoing debate about that some people have no skill in art like music, acting, art but they have attitude like anyone can do it easily therefore individuals are becoming wealthy and famous. As a result real talent has no more valued or appreciated by individuals. People who just do any pathetic things on social media are becoming famous rather than individuals those were promoting geniune art. In this essay i shall describe about this issue.

In past years, individuals have intrust about one art so they procced with it and have qualties to act. For instance, if a person have intrust in acting so they wanted to gain skills and work in movies, drmas etc. After seeing there skills citizens like him, and they get succesfull and appreciated because of their work. Popularity needs patience and skills then they become famous or popular.

Today, peoples are involved in these type of things that doing un talented things can create more views on social media, because individuals are not appreciating those people who are talented. Although in today era, peoples are becoming famous easily and becoming rich without talent. For example, A famous youtuber ducky bhai, has no skill of any art just showing their daily routine and making vlogs but majority of the peoples like him and support him even children's are appreciating him. After this support ducky bhai become successful in terms of becoming rich and popular over world-wide.

In conclusion, there is no value of genuine or talented art. People who have attitude of doing any thing are becoming famous and rich. Because of peoples those are promoting them.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You address the topic and give a clear general view that people without artistic talent can become famous while genuine talent is overlooked. The example of Ducky Bhai helps illustrate your point about social-media popularity, and the contrast with people who develop acting skills is relevant. However, the position is not fully explored: the opening says this is an issue you will describe, rather than clearly stating how far you agree, and the conclusion repeats the claim without explaining its implications. Some claims, such as “there is no value” for genuine art, are broad and would benefit from qualification and support. Explain why audiences reward these creators and how this affects talented artists to develop the argument more fully.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure, with an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion. The paragraphs broadly separate past recognition of skill from current social-media fame, so the reader can follow the main contrast. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes unclear, and several links are mechanical or imprecise. For example, “As a result” introduces a consequence in the opening, while “Although” begins a sentence that does not present a clear contrast. The final sentence, “Because of peoples those are promoting them,” is incomplete and does not clearly connect to the conclusion. Use clearer topic sentences, make each example directly support its paragraph’s main point, and ensure pronouns and linking phrases refer unambiguously to the ideas around them.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “talent,” “appreciated,” “skills,” “views,” and “popular,” and the example of vlogging gives the discussion relevant language. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, particularly “famous,” “people,” and “becoming rich.” There are also noticeable spelling and word-choice problems, such as “geniune,” “intrust,” “un talented,” and “pathetic things,” which can make your intended meaning less precise; “pathetic” does not clearly express the idea of content that lacks artistic skill. Aim for more accurate collocations and a wider range of terms for online creators, audiences, and artistic achievement. The suggestions below offer practical alternatives.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including a conditional example beginning “if a person…” and a contrast introduced with “Although.” However, complex structures are often faulty, and frequent errors in agreement, tense, articles, and sentence construction sometimes make the meaning difficult to follow. For example, “if a person have intrust … they wanted” shifts between singular agreement and inconsistent tense; “a famous youtuber … has no skill … just showing” lacks a well-formed connection between clauses; and “After this support ducky bhai become successful” has an incorrect verb form. Practise building accurate sentences with one clear main clause, then add subordinate clauses only when you can control their grammar. Check subject–verb agreement and keep verb tenses consistent.
