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)

No, I don't agree with these points. if someone is really talented so she\he must avail the oppurtunity. More chances should given to her\him. We should appreciate the talent not the arrogancy. As I want to share one of my experience was that, when I came to universty life, there was the voting for our class CR. Many students of our class, camdidate for the CR, but our head of department kept a condition for all the candidate. He asked one by one to all yhe candidates that why they want to become the CR and tell me who is cr? and what are the responsibilities of cr.everyone answered but our whole class select the candidate which has given the proper answer and who show his abilities properly and communicate properly.

I thought that talent should be appreciated. But I agreed with this quote that practise makes a man perfect. If you want to learn something and you have a keen desire to learn it, than it's not be impossibe for you. But if a person is too much confident about that he did not practice and say that I Could complete my project work in a night before submission date.you must work hard fot what you want to achieve. if we give plenty of chances to talent than it make us proud for whole country instead of giving chances to over confident people.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

Your position is stated clearly at the start: “No, I don't agree,” and you express the view that talent should be appreciated and supported. The university class-representative example is relevant and gives some support to your point about recognising ability. However, the response only partly addresses the specific claim about people without talent becoming rich and famous while genuine talent is overlooked. The example concerns choosing a capable student, rather than fame, wealth, or the arts, and the later point about practice introduces a related but not fully connected argument. The response is also 16 words below the required minimum. Develop the connection to the arts and explain how talent, practice, and public recognition relate to your position.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

There is some organisation: you state your opinion, give an example from university, and then add a point about practice and hard work. The example also follows a basic sequence, from the candidates being questioned to the class selecting one. However, the overall progression is not consistently clear. The shift from the class representative to “practice makes a man perfect” is abrupt, and the final sentence does not clearly connect its contrast between talented and overconfident people to the original question. Linking phrases such as “But” and “if” are used, but relationships between ideas are sometimes unclear or repetitive. Use separate paragraphs for your position, supporting reasons, and conclusion, and make each transition explain how the next point supports your argument.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some relevant vocabulary, including “talented,” “appreciated,” “responsibilities,” and “abilities,” which helps communicate your main ideas. There are also attempts to express more specific concepts, such as “keen desire to learn” and “over confident people.” However, the range is limited and several word-choice, spelling, and collocation errors make parts difficult to follow. Examples include “avail the opportunity,” “arrogancy,” and “candidate for the CR”; these are not natural or accurate expressions in context. Spelling errors such as “oppurtunity,” “universty,” and “imposibe” also reduce clarity. Build a more precise vocabulary for discussing artistic ability, public recognition, and success, and check spelling and common word combinations carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including conditional forms such as “If you want to learn something…” and a relative clause in “the candidate which has given the proper answer.” These attempts show some range, but complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors can make the reader work to understand your meaning. For example, “More chances should given” is missing a verb form, while “if someone is really talented so she e must avail the oppurtunity” has problems with clause structure and pronoun use. There are also errors in agreement and tense, as in “it make us proud,” and punctuation and capitalisation are inconsistent. Practise forming complete clauses and checking subject–verb agreement, verb forms, and sentence boundaries.
