Student answer (Band 5.0)
In today's world thinking power of individual is too low, this is because lake of knowledge and ability. Some people says that professional employes like doctors and engineers, should work in the country from which they had done training and degree. There are some people who known importance of opurtunity, they thing professionals should be free to work anywhere in the world of their choise.
The importance of knowledge and skills is everywhere, but the combination of both is gained by training and development of furthur study in that field. However, this is a thing which several country provide for students. In some cases, to achive this type of education student have to travel other country by leaving his own. For example, you are studying in mechanical engineering and living in India, but you can see how huge infrastructure of machine learning is in Germany. This makes an oppurtunity of developing research for your education purpose which furthure help you.
The people who think about working in that country which provide you degree are not understaning about ehnancement in worldwide. For instance, you have pursued master from USA in IT and opened a company in India, this makes carrier oppurtunity for local people and increase indian gdp by some persent. The other who know about this are helping to inograte such kind of habit in left over people. The handeling and integrating of workload is easy, but the job placement matters.
In my opinion you should pursue training as well as job in your choise of country.

Task Achievement / Task Response — Band 5.0
The response addresses both sides of the argument and provides a personal opinion, meeting the basic requirements of the prompt. However, the development of ideas is limited. The arguments regarding the benefits of international training and the economic impact of professionals working abroad are somewhat disjointed and lack depth. The explanation of why professionals should stay or leave is not fully explored, and the connection between the examples provided and the main argument is often unclear. To improve, you should focus on expanding your points with more logical reasoning and clearer examples that directly support your stance.
Coherence and Cohesion — Band 5.0
The essay is organized into paragraphs, which helps the reader follow the structure. However, the progression of ideas is often confusing. The use of cohesive devices is mechanical and sometimes inaccurate, such as the transition 'The other who know about this are helping to inograte such kind of habit in left over people,' which is difficult to interpret. Referencing is also inconsistent, making it hard to track the subjects of your sentences. To achieve a higher score, ensure that each sentence flows logically from the previous one and use a wider, more accurate range of linking words to connect your ideas.
Lexical Resource — Band 5.0
The vocabulary is quite limited and there are frequent errors in word choice and spelling, such as 'lake' instead of 'lack', 'employes' instead of 'employees', 'opurtunity' instead of 'opportunity', and 'inograte' instead of 'integrate'. These errors occasionally impede communication, requiring the reader to guess the intended meaning. The range of vocabulary is insufficient to express complex ideas effectively. You should focus on learning the correct spelling of common academic words and expanding your vocabulary to include more precise terms related to professional development and international labor markets.
Grammatical Range and Accuracy — Band 5.0
The essay relies heavily on simple sentence structures, and there are frequent grammatical errors throughout the text. Issues include subject-verb agreement (e.g., 'Some people says'), incorrect article usage, and awkward phrasing (e.g., 'thinking power of individual is too low'). Complex sentence structures are attempted but are often faulty, leading to confusion. While the meaning is generally discernible, the high frequency of errors in basic grammar significantly impacts the quality of the writing. Focusing on sentence construction, subject-verb agreement, and basic punctuation will help improve your accuracy.
