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 recent days, it is becoming common phenomena that "any one can do it' in different fields of media leads to individual becoming popular personalities having no experties, while professionals will get ignore. In my opinion, i totally disagree with the statement because natural talent is always integral and should be celebrated meaningfully.

Natural talent is always long lasting, and effective. People having strong grip on their talent can always find ways to nourish and polish themselves. For instance, a young Hira Qaiser has recently gained popularity from a reality show by competing hundreds of contestants through her unique voice to audiances and judges.

On the other hand, people having no genuine talent can put their efforts to get themselves involved in media industry, but this strategy is of only short term worth. This attitude can leads to creativity, while professionalism could pass generations to generations. For instance, India's Got Talent afamous show in india annually announce authentic contestants, but only having natural talent could leads to successful future.

In conclusion, bybirth talent do not need alot of hardwork and efforts, it makes way easily to reach its peak, although natural notions can stimulate hidden talents, a

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You state a clear disagreement in the introduction, and the examples of Hira Qaiser and a talent show are relevant to the arts and public recognition. However, the response only partially develops the argument: it does not explain convincingly why genuine talent remains valued, or how people without talent become rich and famous. The claim that natural talent is “always long lasting” and that it “do[es] not need a lot of hard work” is asserted rather than supported, and the second example is difficult to interpret. The conclusion is unfinished, so your final position and reasoning are not brought together. The response is also 53 words below the required minimum. Develop each main point with explanation and a specific, clearly connected example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “For instance” and “On the other hand,” and a conclusion. This gives the reader some guidance, and the contrast between natural talent and short-term popularity is relevant. However, progression is limited because the paragraphs do not consistently build a clear line of reasoning. The link between “no genuine talent” and the claim that this attitude “can leads to creativity” is unclear, while the talent-show example does not clearly support the point that professionalism passes between generations. The conclusion ends abruptly with “a,” disrupting the overall flow. Make each paragraph focus on one claim, explain its connection to the question, and use linking phrases only where the relationship between ideas is clear.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt topic-related vocabulary such as “natural talent,” “professionalism,” “creativity,” and “nourish and polish,” showing some range beyond basic language. However, the usable range is limited by repeated wording and noticeable errors in word choice, collocation, and spelling. Phrases such as “common phenomena,” “strong grip on their talent,” and “short term worth” are not natural in these contexts, and spellings such as “experties” and “audiances” make the writing less clear. “Popular personalities” is also less precise than a phrase describing fame or public recognition. Aim for accurate, natural collocations and check spelling; this will make your ideas easier to understand and help you express distinctions between skill, effort, and fame.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You use both simple statements and attempts at longer structures, including “although natural notions can stimulate hidden talents,” so there is some effort to vary sentence form. However, complex sentences are often faulty, and errors occur frequently enough to make parts of the argument difficult to follow. Examples include “this attitude can leads,” “only having natural talent could leads,” and “bybirth talent do not need,” where verb forms or subject–verb agreement are incorrect. The opening sentence also has unclear sentence construction, and the final sentence is incomplete. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, then check agreement and verb forms. Use punctuation to separate ideas and ensure every sentence, especially the conclusion, is complete.
