Student answer (Band 5.0)

Professonals of any country are the basic need for any devlepoment in country. Some people think that professionals like doctors and engineers of any country should work in their relative department in the country where they completed their training while some other poeple argue that professionls have their own choice wheather work in their own country or work in some other states in which they did not done their study. I will discuss both views and then give my own opinion.

On the one hand, some people think that the masters of any field should work in the same country in which they spent their training sessions. Firstly, some people believe that the main positive of working professionls in country where they did their training is that the professionals are able to read the mindset of native people and also knows their traditions and their culture so professionals can work with them with ease and comfortably. Furthermore, some people think that the professional doctors are know the local people behaviour of the country there they spent a amount of time and in this way doctors can easily understand their problems.

On the other hand, some people argue that professionals are free to work in the country where they comfortable. To commence, some people believe that if professionls like to work in some other places it is better becasue where they go they are able to understand some new things and also deliever some important lectures to others if they did not know.

In conclusion, different people have their own opinion. I think that professionals should work in the country where they done their training it is more benificial for country and also for professionals

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You introduce both viewpoints and state your preference in the conclusion: “professionals should work in the country where they done their training.” The first view has relevant reasons, particularly familiarity with local people and culture, but these points are repeated and not fully explained. The opposing view is much less developed: you say professionals can learn new things and deliver lectures, but do not explain why they should have the freedom to move or give a concrete example. Your position is present, though its reasoning is brief and the introduction does not clearly preview the argument. Develop both sides more evenly, explain the consequences of each, and support your opinion with a specific example.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, one paragraph for each view, and a conclusion. “On the one hand” and “On the other hand” help readers follow the change in perspective, while “Firstly” and “Furthermore” signal supporting points. However, progression within the paragraphs is sometimes repetitive: several sentences begin with “some people think/believe,” and the second viewpoint moves quickly from working abroad to giving lectures without a clear link. The conclusion also repeats the opinion without drawing together the reasons. Use a wider range of referencing and linking expressions, and make each sentence build directly on the previous one.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-relevant vocabulary, including “professionals,” “training,” “traditions,” and “culture,” and the reader can generally identify the topic and main ideas. However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are inaccurate or repeatedly used, which sometimes makes meaning less clear. Examples include “masters of any field” for qualified professionals, “relative department” for their relevant field, and “work in the country where they comfortable.” There are also noticeable spelling errors such as “Professonals,” “devlepoment,” and “becasue.” Build a more precise vocabulary for migration and employment, check spelling carefully, and avoid repeating “some people think” when presenting arguments.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and longer sentences, including clauses introduced by “while,” “where,” and “because,” and the overall meaning is usually recoverable. However, the range is limited, and attempts at complex sentences often contain errors in verb forms, agreement, or sentence construction. For example, “doctors are know” combines incompatible verb forms, “professionals are able to read … and also knows” has faulty agreement, and “where they done their training” needs an auxiliary verb. The final sentence also joins several ideas without clear punctuation. Practise forming accurate clauses with consistent subjects and verbs, and check auxiliary verbs, articles, and sentence boundaries before submitting.
