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)

There is a trending argument that people having talent such as arts, music, literature, acting is the skills that everyone have and they become celebritiy and earn money whereas, the real talent is not recognized. Regarding my opinion, I completely disagree with the statement because in arts, consistency is important part of it and should be able to maintain the struggles and difficulties comes with it .

To begin with, there are several reason why i didnot support the part that anyone can do it. The first factors is consistency. To explain, people with god gifted talent doesnot mean that they can do it anywhere without the dedication and practices, they have to be consistent to get fame and income. Similarly, the another reasons is overcome the difficulties. Elaborating further, people should maintain their reherasal and face the struggle and do a great hardwork to know in the world and to earn money.

Although, people without god gifted talents have to do a lot of struggles too to get a work to survive their lives but, it is about the luck of us that we have talents or not. Likewise, we cannot be jealous with others talent. Firstly, individuals have to face the consquences and work daily without complaining that other people have better life because everybody have their own problems.

In conclusion, Every person have their own issues to deal in their lives. As far as, I am concerned, I believe, talented individuals have to do a lot of struggles to get a fame and earn income through it whereas, normal people get a daily schedule and peaceful life in the end of the day.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You state a clear disagreement in the introduction, and your discussion of dedication, practice and the difficulties involved in pursuing an artistic career is relevant. However, the response only partly addresses the central claim: it does not clearly examine whether people without talent become famous and wealthy, or whether genuine talent is undervalued. The point about luck and not being jealous shifts attention away from the question, while the contrast between artists and people with a “daily schedule and peaceful life” is asserted rather than explained. To strengthen the response, develop a few directly relevant reasons and support them with a specific example, such as how training and public recognition affect an artist’s success. Keep the position clear throughout.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The essay has a recognisable introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion, and signposts such as “To begin with,” “Similarly” and “In conclusion” help show the intended structure. However, progression between ideas is not always clear. The second body paragraph begins with “Although” but does not establish a clear contrast, and the move from artistic talent to jealousy and ordinary people’s lives feels abrupt. Several linking expressions are used mechanically, including “To explain,” “Elaborating further” and “Likewise,” without always making the relationship between ideas precise. Organise each paragraph around one main point, then explain and illustrate it before moving on. Clearer links between the argument about practice and the question of fame would make the overall progression easier to follow.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “dedication,” “struggles,” “fame” and “income,” and you try to vary expressions rather than relying entirely on basic words. However, the range is limited and several inaccurate word choices or collocations make parts of the argument difficult to interpret. For example, “god gifted talent,” “know in the world” and “maintain their rehearsal” do not express the intended ideas naturally; “celebritiy” and “reherasal” also show spelling problems. Some phrases, such as “the luck of us,” are unclear. Build a more precise set of expressions for artistic careers and recognition, and check spelling and collocations. Choosing familiar, accurate wording will communicate your ideas more effectively than using phrases whose meaning is uncertain.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including clauses introduced by “because,” “although” and “whereas.” This shows an effort to express relationships between ideas, but complex sentences are often faulty, and frequent errors affect clarity. Examples include “people having talent … is the skills,” “everyone have,” and “people should maintain their reherasal and face the struggle,” where agreement and sentence construction are problematic. Articles and plurals are also inconsistent, as in “consistency is important part” and “several reason.” Punctuation sometimes creates awkward breaks, particularly in “Although, … but,” and the conclusion contains several unnecessary pauses. Practise building accurate sentences with one main clause and a clearly connected supporting clause, then check subject–verb agreement, articles and punctuation.
