IELTS Writing Task 2 question

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 6.0)

Many individuals argue that working professionals such as doctos and engineers should be employed in country where they finished their training. while other believe they should be free to immigrate or migrate to other country for work.

In the eassy below, i will be talking about both the topics and give my view.

Firstly, if individual who got thier training in advanced field like health science & engineers and they are employed in the region they got the training it can benifit the local community, and help them advance in this fields. For example, if someone got trainined to be a doctor in rural area of a country like canada where there is alredy shortage of doctors. and if the doctor choose ro pratices medicine in that rural area that can help limit the gap between shortage of doctors and patients.

On the other hand, if highly trained individual who wants to pratice in thier field but not in the country where they got trained, they get more access to opportunities and even high paying jobs. Also, some individulas like to immigrate to other country so they get chance to pratice in thiers field with more advance technology. For instance, a software engineer will have less opportunity in country like india compared USA. Also, they pay/salary difrencess is anormous in third world country compared to more developed countires.

In conclusion, if professional such as doctor and engineer decide to work in country where they have been trained that can help local communities and bring in lots of development in various field. If professional decide to migrate to other country for better work oppoutunity and higher salary it should be there perosnal choice. In my opinion, individual should be free to work where they like regardless of country they got training. However, if someone have used local resources such as grats, scholarships, and low intrest student loan then those individuals should work where they got there traning.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.5

You address both sides of the discussion and give a clear personal view: professionals should generally be free to work abroad, with an exception for those who received substantial local support. The rural-doctor example supports the argument for serving the training country, while the comparison between opportunities in India and the USA illustrates why professionals may leave. This covers the task well, but some points are asserted rather than fully explained. For example, the claim that working locally will “help them advance in these fields” is not developed, and the final condition about grants, scholarships and loans appears suddenly without explaining how it should be applied. Develop these ideas with clearer reasoning and examples to make the response more consistently persuasive.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.5

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, separate paragraphs for the two views, and a conclusion that states your position. Sequencing phrases such as “Firstly” and “On the other hand” help readers follow the discussion, and the examples are placed alongside the relevant arguments. However, some linking is mechanical, and the conclusion introduces a new qualification about publicly supported training rather than fully drawing together the points already discussed. There are also places where connections between ideas could be clearer, such as the shift from better technology to higher salaries in the second body paragraph. Use transitions that show the precise relationship between claims, and ensure each paragraph develops one connected line of reasoning.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use relevant vocabulary for the topic, including “local community,” “shortage of doctors,” “opportunities,” “technology,” and “scholarships.” These choices make your main ideas understandable, and you attempt some topic-specific phrasing. However, spelling errors and imprecise or unnatural word combinations are noticeable, including “doctos,” “benifit,” “pratice,” “salary difrencess,” and “there traning.” Phrases such as “advance in these fields” and “more advance technology” also need more natural forms. This range is sufficient to communicate the discussion, but accuracy and collocation are not yet consistent. Check spelling carefully and learn common combinations such as “practise medicine,” “career opportunities,” and “advanced technology.”

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and complex sentences, including conditional structures such as “if the doctor choose to practise medicine in that rural area” and a longer sentence beginning “if highly trained individual who wants to practise.” This shows an effort to express relationships between ideas, but control is uneven: several complex sentences are incomplete or have faulty clause structure, and errors in articles, agreement and verb forms recur. For example, “if individual who got their training … and they are employed” lacks a clear grammatical structure, while “if someone have used local resources” has incorrect agreement. Sentence boundaries and capitalization also need attention. Build accuracy by checking each sentence for a clear subject and main verb, then review articles and subject–verb agreement.
