Student answer (Band 6.0)

Body 1 easy to get job, familiar environment easy to cooperate

Body2 explore new culture , better carrer prospects in international job market, develop communication skills

People have different views about professionals, some individuals believe that doctors and engineers should work in their country where they did their training, while others believe that they have the right to work overseas if they want. Although working in a country where they get training provides several benefits, I believe overseas work allows to widen career prospects.

On the one hand, there are several benefits to work in a country where they get training. Because professionals can get their job easily and also they can cooperate easily with the environment which is quite familier to them. For example, if someone get training from a company, after training company often offers them to join their company. Moreover, they find it easier to cooperate than other place or country. In addition, professionals can contribute something valuable to their countrys' people.

On the other hand, I believe that professionals should be free to work in overseas if thay want, working in a nother country allows them to explore new culture, new work environment. Moreover, It offers them better career prospects in international job markets. For instance, software engineers may join international company, such as, Google, Amazon, which helps to broaden their career opportunity. Therefore, they become more confident and also develop their communication skill.

In conclusion, although working in a country where professionals get their training which provides certain benefits, I believe professionals should be free to worko in another country. Because they should get opportunites if they want to swich their work into another country.

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 6.0

You address both views and make your own position clear: you acknowledge benefits of staying in the training country, but argue that professionals should be free to work abroad. Relevant reasons include easier employment and contribution to the home country, alongside cultural exposure and wider career prospects. The examples about a training company and software engineers applying to international firms help illustrate these points. However, some ideas are asserted rather than fully explained. For instance, the claim that professionals can “contribute something valuable” to their country is not developed, and the company-training example does not clearly apply to doctors and engineers generally. Explain the wider effects of each view and connect examples more directly to the question to make the discussion more complete.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 6.0

The response has a clear overall structure: an introduction, one paragraph for each view, and a conclusion. The contrast between “On the one hand” and “On the other hand” makes the discussion easy to follow, and the main position is repeated in the conclusion. Some linking is mechanical, however, with repeated use of “Moreover” and “Therefore,” and the opening notes (“Body 1 easy to get job…”) are not integrated into the essay. A few connections are also unclear: “Because professionals can get their job easily…” is a sentence fragment, while “although working in a country where professionals get their training which provides…” makes the conclusion difficult to follow. Use complete sentences and clearer references between claims and examples.

Lexical Resource: Band 5.5

You use a relevant range of vocabulary, including “career prospects,” “international job markets,” “work environment,” and “communication skills.” These phrases help express the main ideas, and the meaning is generally understandable. However, several word-choice, collocation, and spelling errors reduce precision, such as “work in overseas,” “a nother country,” “familier,” “carrer,” and “opportunites.” Some expressions are also vague or unnatural, including “cooperate with the environment” and “switch their work into another country.” Aim to learn vocabulary in natural combinations—for example, professionals can “adapt to a familiar workplace” or “relocate to another country”—and proofread spelling and word forms. This would make your adequate range more accurate and flexible.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.5

You attempt both simple and more complex structures, including a concession in the introduction (“Although working…”) and conditional phrasing (“if they want”). Most ideas remain understandable, but some grammatical errors occur across the response. For example, “Because professionals can get their job easily” is a dependent clause used as a sentence, and “if someone get training” has incorrect subject–verb agreement. The conclusion’s “although…which provides” construction also combines clauses incorrectly. There are errors with articles, plurals, and sentence boundaries, as in “join international company” and “communication skill.” Practise building complete sentences with clear clause relationships, and check agreement and article use. Greater control of these structures would make your argument smoother.
