IELTS Writing Task 2 question

In many countries these days, the number of people continuing their education after school has increased, and the range of courses available at universities and colleges has also increased.

Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant experience.

Student answer (Band 5.0)

Mostly people in many countries start their study after the school the percentages of these peoples are increased due to this the courses in collages and universities are more so in my opionion this is the postive development which helps the students in future or a practical life to choice the right and best way to make there life secure.

First of all in this way the courses in the universities are exceeded and this may help the students to learn eassy and in this way they have many options to select the right course to push themselves to get the degree. in past there a some courses but now many courses are available for students to choice whats they like it is very benificial and a great need.

Secondly these courses help the students to select the best field or profession to secure our future

and in the practical life they feel easy and they have have some usefull skillls and they use these skill and get great jobs. like in IT its is great field for future it is usefull for every student in future and now the use of AI it is very benificial and easy for everyone to make life eassy and the next most important field is Law the world is running on it every country,species,every thing that have mind have there own laws but in the human some laws are manmade or some are the made by nature manmade laws are use in every society it help in our daily life so every field have there own importances so first we need any course than we select the the right field so if universities have much more courses it is a great benifiet for students.

In conclusion i say that if the people starts their studies after school it is a nice development or it is very benifecial for the student to select the right courses in the muchmore options of courses given by the universities and the collages in this way students have the great number of fields to select instead selecting some common field so its is very postive and great development for us.

AI examiner evaluation

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.5

You clearly take a positive position, stating that more courses give students options and can help them choose a profession. The discussion of IT and law also provides relevant examples. However, the response addresses the topic only partially because it focuses mainly on the wider range of courses, while the increase in the number of people continuing education after school receives little explanation. Several claims remain broad or unclear, such as saying courses help students “secure our future,” without showing how this happens. Develop two or three main reasons with specific explanations or examples, and make the link between increased participation in further education and its effects explicit.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a basic overall structure: an introduction, two body paragraphs signalled by “First of all” and “Secondly,” and a conclusion. This helps the reader identify your positive view and the main supporting points. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow. The long second body paragraph moves from job skills to IT, AI, and then law without clearly connecting these examples to one central argument. Linking phrases such as “in this way” are repeated, and some references, including “they” and “it,” are unclear. Organise each paragraph around one main idea, use shorter sentences, and explain how each example supports that idea.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “universities,” “profession,” “skills,” “IT,” and “AI,” and you attempt to express ideas about career choice and future security. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, particularly “courses,” “students,” and “beneficial.” Frequent spelling errors, such as “opionion,” “collages,” and “benifiet,” make the writing less clear and reduce the accuracy of your vocabulary. Some combinations are also unnatural, for example “push themselves to get the degree” and “the world is running on it.” Build a wider set of accurate academic phrases and check spelling and collocations carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt to connect ideas in longer sentences, and you use basic sequencing structures such as “First of all” and “Secondly.” However, sentence structures are limited and many longer sentences are difficult to understand because of frequent errors in clauses, agreement, articles, and punctuation. For example, “Mostly people in many countries start their study after the school” has problems with the article and noun form, while “if the people starts their studies” has subject–verb disagreement. The sentence beginning “in past there a some courses” is also incomplete or incorrectly formed. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then add controlled subordinate clauses and review verb agreement, articles, and sentence boundaries.
