Student answer (Band 5.0)

In the modern era, to become an engineers, doctors and others have to much struggle. People should give priority to mother land. As per my opinion, where they learn their profession place can makes them successful. Thus, living in own working place have more comfort rather than working in other country.

To begin with, nowadays for starting a new profession of new work have numerous struggle due to that people faze lots of problems in initial stages. Moreover, field like doctors and engineers have a high respect in every country also we can say they are representing country through to the work. Living in country where you completed your training have wide range of benefits first and foremost your are gel with the places in addition to that we know about the areas and according to that we can start our new stage of life. Furthermore, if they work in suitable environment so they feel great and also it will helpful for countries economy.

On the other hand, if people will move to other country just for starting new carrier so it will difficult because new atmosphere and work with new people is hard thing. Apart from it, in new country starting a new field is too difficult and lots of people can not find a perfect place to start new journey. However, difficulty in initial stages will destroy them as a financially and economically.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You give a clear opinion that professionals should work where they trained, and you offer relevant reasons, including familiarity with the area and a possible contribution to the national economy. However, the task asks you to discuss both views, and the case for being free to work abroad is not genuinely developed: the paragraph beginning “On the other hand” mainly lists difficulties of moving, rather than explaining why professionals might choose or benefit from working overseas. Several claims, such as “they are representing country,” are also asserted without a specific example or explanation. To strengthen the response, present a fair argument for each position, then support your own view with a concrete example and clearer reasoning.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.0

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, separate body paragraphs for the two positions, and a conclusion. Connectors such as “To begin with,” “On the other hand,” and “Therefore” help signal the intended organisation. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow because several ideas are joined without clear relationships, as in “first and foremost your are gel with the places in addition to that we know about the areas.” Some linking phrases are also used mechanically or do not accurately express the relationship between ideas. The conclusion repeats the preference for working in one’s own country rather than drawing together the discussion. Use clearer topic sentences and develop one point at a time, with references that make each idea’s connection explicit.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You attempt vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “profession,” “economy,” “environment,” and “initial stages,” and you use some phrases to discuss benefits and difficulties. However, the range is limited and several word choices or collocations make the meaning unclear. Examples include “faze lots of problems,” “gel with the places,” “tremendous vides,” and “grub the knowledge”; these do not communicate the intended ideas reliably. There are also repeated general terms such as “new” and “difficult,” which limit precision. Build a bank of accurate topic phrases and check collocations and spelling before using less familiar expressions. More precise wording would make your arguments easier to understand and more convincing.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, and the response includes some subordinate clauses, such as “if people will move to other country…” and “where they did their training.” However, complex attempts are often faulty, and errors in agreement, articles, verb forms, and sentence construction frequently affect clarity. For example, “where they learn their profession place can makes them successful” has an unclear structure and incorrect verb form, while “working in hometown have” has a subject–verb agreement error. Punctuation and sentence boundaries also need attention, particularly where several clauses are joined together. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then add one subordinate clause at a time, checking agreement and verb forms.
