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)

Nowadays in certain nations individuals believe anyone can become rich in the field of music,literature,acting,arts,etc.and famous and valid talent is not valued by masses.I personally disagree with given statement and in upcoming paragraphs im gonna discussion my opinion.\

First of all we look at famous artists like pablo piccaso or leonardo the vinci they already set the bar way to high their paintings are world famous given the popularity normal lookers believe painting should have standard and not anybody can become famous and rich in arts it is still the case worldwide,Same for music people only love genuine musicians and good singers there is different genre in music some people like jazz some don,t but masses seek better music the competiton is hard not every person can genuinely become singer and get famous. There sure is different opinions some folks hate leonardo the vinci,s art but for others his painting are god sent, same for musicians they are treated like celebrities the truth is because of their work and talent not because they can just draw or make music at the end their popularity is justified..

Now we look at literature we have famous example like thomas edison he is well known scientist reason being his inventions like bulbs and that wasnt a normal invention and today he deserves all the appreciation,famous artists like tom cruise is famous because of hard stunts he do not every individual can perform like he does. jumping from planes etc. i sure believe there is talents in other field that get shadowed but their hardwork helps them in future, And also some individuals see other personalities unworthy and pass comments like they are not talented but every talent is valued in todays centuary,

In conclusion i firmly believe not anyone can do it people are famous due to their hardwork and contribution there are some indiduals who get shadowed by others but they shine to in future and hate against famous personalities is unjustified.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You state a clear disagreement in the introduction and conclusion, and you try to support it with examples from painting, music and acting. However, the response only partly addresses the central claim: it does not clearly explain whether people without talent are becoming rich and famous or whether genuine talent is undervalued. Several examples are also inaccurate or poorly matched to the arts argument: Thomas Edison is a scientist, not a literary example, and Tom Cruise’s stunts do not establish that fame is based on artistic talent. Claims such as “people only love genuine musicians” are asserted rather than supported. Develop fewer, more relevant examples and explain how they prove your position.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, so there is some basic organisation. The main position is repeated at the beginning and end, and phrases such as “First of all” and “In conclusion” signal stages of the essay. However, progression within paragraphs is difficult to follow: the first body paragraph moves between painters, music and differing opinions, while the second shifts from literature to Edison and then Tom Cruise. Connections between these examples and the main argument are often unclear. Linking expressions are limited or mechanical, and long sentences joined by commas make relationships between ideas harder to identify. Give each paragraph one clear point, order its supporting details logically, and use precise references and transitions.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “genuine talent,” “genre,” “competit[ion],” “appreciation” and “hardwork,” which helps communicate the general subject. However, the range is limited and several choices or combinations are inaccurate or unnatural, sometimes making the intended meaning unclear. Examples include “normal lookers,” “god sent,” “talents in other field,” and “they shine to in future.” There are also frequent spelling and form errors, such as “piccaso,” “centuary” and “indiduals.” Aim for accurate, natural collocations and check spelling carefully; for instance, describe audiences as “ordinary viewers” and say that artists “gain recognition” or “are overlooked.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences with clauses, for example, “There sure is different opinions some folks hate…” However, complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors in agreement, articles, verb forms and sentence boundaries can make the reader work to understand the message. Examples include “there is different genre,” “the hard stunts he do,” and “not every individual can perform like he does. jumping from planes.” Several sentences run together without appropriate punctuation, as in the opening body paragraph. Use shorter, complete sentences while checking subject–verb agreement and verb forms; then build complexity with controlled clauses, such as “Although tastes differ, successful musicians usually need skill and sustained practice.”
