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)

It is often argued that in some nations presently,there is an opinion that anyone can do it in such as arts,music,literature,acting,art,etc.Therefore, people with no skills becoming productive and famed and true talent is not valued while some people argue with this view.

I agree that people with out talent are becoming famous than genuine persons

to large extent.

The primary reason why i support this view is that is most of the individuals ability are not recognised by the public and they are hiding their talents in the hands.As a result,it is becoming a disappearing in the society.In other words,some folks are taking advantage of this situation and demonstrating their unwanted talent and revealing their knowledge to others these is not right path to expertise the skills.For example,In primary school the faculty is training the music without any appropriate knowledge and experience.Furthermore,this things makings this argument highly convincing.

Admittedly,opponents may claim that anything can be achieve because such kind of attitude makes people them d to tdo anything to get succeeded even to choose the wrong pathways and make real people to fell awakward with the behaviour.However,this agruement is less persuasive since these will not be forever with them.Therefore,I still believe that becoming a influential figure in society in without talent may give success nevertheless,it cannot prove that skills are one which don't originated from their inner souls.

In conclusion, although there are valid arguments on both sides,I strongly believe that people with no knowledge one day the reality will appears in the society.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You state a position—“I agree that people with out talent are becoming famous”—and return to it in the conclusion, so the response does address the question. However, the position is not consistently clear: the opening mentions that “some people argue with this view,” and the discussion of opponents is difficult to distinguish from your own argument. The main point about talented people being overlooked is relevant, but it is not explained with a clear cause-and-effect chain or a convincing example. The primary-school music example concerns teachers’ qualifications rather than people with no artistic talent becoming rich and famous. Develop one or two directly relevant reasons and explain how they support your agreement.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has an introduction, body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “The primary reason,” “Admittedly,” and “In conclusion” show an attempt to organise the discussion. However, progression between ideas is often unclear. For example, the paragraph beginning “Admittedly” shifts from the claim that anyone can succeed to “wrong pathways” and then to whether skills come from “inner souls,” without showing how these points connect. Some linking phrases, including “As a result” and “Furthermore,” introduce relationships that are not fully explained. References such as “this situation,” “these,” and “this argument” can also be hard to follow. Make each paragraph develop one central point, and use clear topic sentences and explicit links between claims and examples.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “genuine talent,” “taking advantage,” “recognised,” and “influential figure.” This shows some effort to express abstract ideas, but the usable range is limited and several word choices or collocations make meaning difficult to understand. For instance, “productive and famed” does not clearly convey becoming rich and famous, while “hiding their talents in the hands” and “expertise the skills” are not natural expressions. There are also spelling and word-form errors, such as “agruement” and “succeeded.” Aim for accurate, natural combinations rather than more complicated phrasing: for example, describe talent as “overlooked” or “undervalued,” and explain that performers “gain fame despite limited ability.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including a concession beginning “Admittedly, opponents may claim…” and a reason introduced by “since.” However, complex structures are often faulty, and frequent errors can make the intended meaning difficult to follow. Examples include “people with no skills becoming productive,” “most of the individuals ability are not recognised,” and “anything can be achieve”; these show problems with verb forms and subject–verb agreement. Sentence boundaries and punctuation are also inconsistent, as in the opening, where clauses run together after “presently” and “arts.” Practise building accurate sentences with one main clause and a clearly controlled subordinate clause, checking agreement, verb forms, articles and punctuation before adding further ideas.
