Student answer (Band 5.0)

In some countries at present,there is a behaviour that anyone can do it in the arts such as music,literature,acting etc.As a consequncies people without talent become wealthy and famous and an individuals who have genuine talent they not get appreciation and value of others.I totally disagree with this and my explantion will describe in the following paragraphs.

First and foremost,if people not have any talent than it is not possible to become reach.It is possible they are getting fame,but that can not make them reach.For example,many infulancer are now makking reels and shorts,Though they not get money for make those reels.Secondly,if an indviduals not have any kind of telent,still they try to get famous than they might be succesful because not forget aim is also one type of talent.

On the same hand,people who have talent and they focus on what they want to become than one day they will get appreciation and earn value by people.Although they not get fame now,one day surely they get it.This is because they have talent which other people not have.Moreover,a person who have special talent in music,acting,art than they can earn money easily.Not only they earn money but they can also become a famous person if there any art become viral or appreciated by a famous person.For instance,there is one famous musician from india who sing very well and he not forget his aim to become popular and for that reason he is now become famous singer name a Karan aujla.

To sum up,people with talent is always appreciated by other.However,it takes time,when they started to get fame then they know how many people are valued them just for their talent.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

Your position is clear: you disagree with the claim, and you give reasons involving the effort required to become successful and the eventual recognition of talented artists. The examples of online creators and Karan Aujla make the response relevant to the arts and fame. However, the argument only partly addresses the central claim. The point that people without talent cannot become rich is asserted rather than supported, and the influencer example does not establish that they earn no money or lack artistic ability. The discussion of talented people becoming appreciated is also broad and repetitive. Develop the contrast more directly—for example, explain how popularity or commercial success can differ from artistic merit, and support your view with a specific, clearly explained example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs presenting reasons, and a concluding summary. Sequencers such as “First and foremost,” “Secondly,” and “To sum up” help signal the stages of the argument. However, progression within paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow because ideas are linked mechanically or do not clearly support the preceding point. “On the same hand” introduces a contrast, but the paragraph mainly continues the argument for talented people. References such as “they” and “it” can also be unclear, and several points repeat that talented people will eventually gain recognition. Use more precise links between claims and examples, and make each paragraph develop one distinct reason in a clear sequence.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-related vocabulary, including “genuine talent,” “appreciation,” “famous,” and “viral,” and you attempt to discuss both artistic ability and public recognition. However, the range is limited and several word-choice, collocation, and spelling problems make parts of the argument difficult to interpret. Examples include “become reach” for becoming rich, “earn value by people,” and “an art become viral.” Misspellings such as “consequncies,” “infulancer,” and “telent” also reduce clarity. Aim for accurate, natural phrases rather than repeating general words such as “famous” and “talent.” Learning collocations such as “gain recognition,” “achieve commercial success,” and “artistic merit” would help express your ideas more precisely.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a conditional structure in “if they try to get famous, then they might be successful” and a concession beginning “Although they not get fame now.” However, control is inconsistent, and errors in verb forms, agreement, articles, and sentence construction frequently affect readability. For example, “they not get appreciation” needs an auxiliary, while “a person who have special talent” has a subject–verb agreement error. The sentence beginning “Not only they earn money” also needs a correctly formed inversion. Some sentences run together without appropriate punctuation. Practise building accurate clauses first, then combine them using conjunctions; check auxiliary verbs, subject–verb agreement, and sentence boundaries during revision.
