Student answer (Band 4.5)

Every profession is a major impact in our life. Some people believe that professionals, for example doctors and engineers, should be available to work in the country where thay did their training. But others believe they should be free to work in another country if they desire. I have a mixed opinion and I will explain in detail.

To initiate, doctors and engineers are the main hero of our country. On one hand, When these people do the house-job in any country level so it is necessary should be required to opportunities for permanent job in the country where they did their training. In addition, when they do job in same place where they did their training so it is a good point for our country in this case they would be satisfy the many people in our region as well as they will explore the country and they will prepare the many doctors and engineers.

On the other hand, Others people believe they should be free to work in another country. When these doctors and engineers do the job in anothe country they learn the new language, skill and as well as new culture. Also, They adopt the new lifestyle due to this their thinking level will be different.

To conclude with my personal opinion, there are many pros of these professionals. They should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others people believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.0

You introduce both positions and state that you have a “mixed opinion,” then give a reason for each side: staying may help serve and train people locally, while working abroad can expose professionals to new languages, skills, and cultures. However, the discussion is brief and these points are not explained with specific examples or developed consequences. Your conclusion also repeats that professionals should work where they trained without resolving the mixed position or clearly weighing the opposing view. The response contains 194 words, below the required 250; 58 words copied from the task prompt were not counted. To strengthen the response, explain both arguments in more depth, give a relevant example, and state a consistent, clear opinion.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, separate paragraphs for the two views, and a conclusion. Phrases such as “On one hand,” “On the other hand,” and “To conclude” help signal the stages of the discussion. However, progression within paragraphs is limited, and some links are mechanical or unclear. For example, the first body paragraph moves from “house-job” to permanent employment and then to exploring the country and preparing professionals without showing how these ideas connect. The conclusion largely repeats earlier points rather than drawing them together. Develop one main idea at a time and use clearer references and transitions to show cause, contrast, and result.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some task-relevant vocabulary, including “professionals,” “permanent job,” “language,” “skill,” and “culture,” so the main topic is generally understandable. However, the range is basic and several word choices or collocations are inaccurate, which makes some sentences difficult to interpret. Examples include “Every profession is a major impact,” “main hero,” and “they would be satisfy the many people.” There are also spelling errors such as “thay” and “anothe.” Aim for more precise expressions for the arguments, such as describing how trained workers contribute to local services or gain professional experience abroad. Check spelling and learn common word combinations rather than translating phrases directly.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt both simple statements and longer sentences with clauses, for example, “When these doctors and engineers do the job in anothe country they learn the new language…” This shows an effort to connect ideas, but control is inconsistent and errors occur in basic sentence patterns as well as longer ones. In “it is necessary should be required to opportunities,” the verb structure is incomplete; “they would be satisfy” has an incorrect verb form; and “Others people believe” has a number-agreement error. Capitalisation after commas is also inconsistent, as in “On one hand, When…” Use shorter, complete sentences while practising accurate subject–verb agreement, articles, and verb patterns before adding more complex clauses.
