IELTS Writing Task 2 question

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Student answer (Band 4.5)

Half of the population belives that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. While other half of the population belives that they should be free to work in another country if they wish.

I belive that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the same country where they have completed there training because every different country trains differently for example, as a doctor the method of treatment are differently done in different countries, and same as in engineering for example construction in different countries such as in cold place they use woods to make house and in hot place they use cement, etc.

An professional which completes there training from different country where they uses different materials and different methods and where they work there will be different materials and different methods, which makes no sense. So I belive that professionals, such as doctors and engieers, should be required to work in the country where they complete their training to remove unnessary mistakes.

But the others who belives that they should be free to work in another country if they wish are also right because the every person should get freedom of work and were to work. Because if a person is been presurized to work in the enverment they do not like to work they will make mistakes in the professions which they works. So they are also right that every person should get chance to work in the another country if they wish

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 4.5

You present a clear opinion in favour of requiring professionals to work where they trained, and you also acknowledge the opposing view that people should have freedom to choose their workplace. The examples about medical treatment and construction materials are relevant, but the explanation that training methods differ is broad and does not show clearly why this should require someone to remain in that country. The freedom argument is also only briefly explained. As a result, the task is addressed only partially, with ideas under-developed. The response contains 194 words, below the required 250; 68 words copied from the task prompt were not counted. Develop both sides with specific reasons or examples, and explain your position more fully.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 4.5

The response has a basic paragraph structure: an introduction, a paragraph supporting your opinion, and a paragraph presenting the alternative view. This helps the reader identify the main stages of your argument. However, the progression within paragraphs is sometimes difficult to follow, particularly in the long explanation beginning “An professional which completes there training.” Ideas are also linked mechanically through repeated “because” and “for example,” while the opening repeats much of the task wording. Some references, such as “they” and “there,” are unclear. Use shorter, more logically ordered sentences, make each paragraph develop one main point, and use linking expressions and pronouns precisely.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.0

You use enough topic-related vocabulary to communicate the general subject, including “professionals,” “treatment,” “construction,” “materials,” and “freedom of work.” However, the range is limited and several words or phrases are repeated, especially “different country,” “methods,” and “work.” There are also noticeable spelling and word-choice problems, such as “belives,” “engieers,” “unnessary,” and “presurized,” which reduce accuracy and polish. Some expressions are not natural in this context, including “cold place” and “hot place.” Build a wider set of precise terms for professional migration, workplace choice, and local practices, and check spelling and collocations carefully.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 4.5

You attempt to connect ideas in longer sentences, for example with “because” and “which,” but these complex structures are often faulty, and most sentences contain grammatical errors. Examples include “the method of treatment are differently done,” where the subject and verb do not agree, and “An professional which completes there training,” which has problems with the article, relative pronoun, and possessive form. The final paragraph also contains unclear constructions such as “if a person is been presurized” and “the professions which they works.” Sentence boundaries and punctuation need attention as well. Practise accurate simple sentences first, then add subordinate clauses while checking agreement, articles, and verb forms.
