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)

It has been a debate around the world among several countries where people often think that becomming rich is easy if you belong to the indusry that includes music, literature, acting or arts.

If we look back a decade, theaters were most popular among countries due to the diverse talent that was shown by the artists. Not everyone was able to create that atmosphire because they lacked talent. Special renowned artists were gathered at a point to deliver the act that showed their grip on that specific domain.

In my opinion, having an attitude that 'anyone can do it' is not justified. A singer performs a song at a stage because he has a firm grip on his vocal cords, has confident over his guitar and holds great confidence on stage to perform infront of thousands of people watching. Creating pottery requires focus and skills. A random individual who lacks these abilities cannot craft a masterpiece. These skills require years of practice, hardwork and dedication. These people are not God Gifted but they have spent most of their time building the talent.

Today people who lack these talents often make remarks on such artists or craftsmen just because they are jelous of what they have achieved in their life. The wealth and fame these people have is due to years of hardwork they have put in their work.

I think if someone wants to be skillfull and master any specific skill they can do it but the question is can they spend years on practising? So instead of not valuing such artists we must appreciate them. Their efforts must be encouraged and it should be taught to the younger generation aswell that these people hold a respectable ground in our society. They contribute alot to our entertainment, literature and art.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

Your position is clear: you reject the idea that anyone can succeed in the arts without ability or sustained effort, and you conclude that artists should be appreciated. The examples of singing and pottery are relevant and help explain the skills involved. This addresses the central question, but some parts are developed more fully than others. In particular, the claim that people who criticise artists are jealous is asserted rather than supported, and the opening discussion of theatres being popular a decade ago does not clearly establish how fame and wealth are distributed today. To strengthen the response, explain more directly whether you agree that people without talent become famous and whether this causes genuine talent to be undervalued, using a specific example or clearer reasoning.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a recognisable overall structure: it introduces the issue, gives examples and reasons, and ends with a recommendation to appreciate artists. Paragraphing generally separates these stages, and links such as “In my opinion” and “So instead” help signal the argument. However, progression is not always smooth. The paragraph about theatres a decade ago is only loosely connected to the question, while the shift from artistic skill to critics’ jealousy is abrupt. Some references, such as “these people,” could also be clearer because they may refer to artists or critics. Build each paragraph around one main point and use a sentence to explain how each example supports your position; this would make the connections less mechanical and more precise.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a relevant range of vocabulary, including “diverse talent,” “masterpiece,” “dedication,” and “younger generation,” which allows you to discuss artistic skill and recognition. There are also attempts at more specific expressions, such as “grip on his vocal cords,” though this is not a natural collocation. Several spelling and word-choice errors—“becomming,” “indusry,” “atmosphire,” “jelous,” and “skillfull”—reduce accuracy, and phrases such as “holds great confidence on stage” and “at a point” sound awkward. Aim for precise, natural combinations and check spelling carefully. For example, “confidence performing on stage” and “artists gathered together” would express your intended meanings more idiomatically.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You use both simple statements and some longer structures, including the conditional question “if someone wants to be skillfull … they can do it” and the relative clause “artists or craftsmen just because they are jelous.” Meaning is generally understandable, but some grammatical errors remain. For example, “there is an attitude … where people often think” uses an unclear clause structure; “has confident over his guitar” has an incorrect grammatical form; and “the wealth and fame … is” has a subject–verb agreement problem. There are also issues with articles and sentence construction, as in “at a stage.” Review agreement, article use, and the grammatical patterns required by verbs and adjectives. More accurate control of these forms would make your varied sentences clearer.
