Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 3.5

You state a clear view—“I totally disagree”—and refer to both doctors and engineers, so the response is relevant to the topic. However, the discussion does not clearly explain the case for requiring professionals to work in the country where they trained, and the opposing view is only briefly mentioned. Reasons such as doctors helping poor people and engineers contributing to construction are relevant, but they are difficult to follow and are not developed with clear examples. The conclusion repeats the general importance of these professions rather than resolving the two views. The response is also 22 words below the 250-word minimum; the 23 words copied from the task prompt do not count. To improve, explain each side directly, support each reason with a specific example, and make your opinion’s reasoning explicit.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.0

The response has an introduction, two body paragraphs and a conclusion, and signposts such as “Firstly,” “secondly” and “In conclusion” show an attempt to organise the discussion. However, the progression within paragraphs is often unclear: the first body paragraph moves from doctors studying abroad to engineers and building without explaining how these points connect to the views in the question. Some linking phrases, including “In contrast,” do not establish a clear contrast, while repeated references to “all countries” and professional workers make the flow feel circular. Improve coherence by giving each body paragraph one clear purpose—one for each view—and arranging its reason, explanation and example in that order. Use pronouns and linking expressions only when their relationships are clear.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some topic-related vocabulary, including “professionals,” “doctors,” “engineers,” “benefits” and “government,” which helps identify the subject. There are also attempts at less common expressions, such as “professional individuals” and “productive.” However, spelling errors and inaccurate word choices frequently make the message difficult to understand: “respectfully job,” “desire will be a good doctor,” “buit bullding” and “hardworking struggle” are unclear or unnatural. Several phrases also repeat general words such as “good” and “important” instead of specifying the intended idea. Build accuracy with common collocations—for example, “provide medical care” and “contribute to infrastructure”—and check spelling carefully. More precise vocabulary would help you explain the benefits and drawbacks of working abroad.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both short statements and longer sentences, and some basic meaning can be understood, for example, “All countries need a good doctor.” However, sentence structures are often incomplete or inaccurately formed, which makes relationships between ideas unclear. Examples include “doctor is very necessary all areas,” “some doctor desire will be a good doctor,” and “all country have been building.” There are recurring problems with articles, plural forms, subject–verb agreement and verb patterns, as well as punctuation and spacing around sentence boundaries. Practise building complete sentences with a clear subject and verb, such as “Doctors are needed in every region” or “Some doctors move abroad to study.” Then check agreement, articles and verb forms, especially when writing longer sentences.
