Student answer (Band 5.0)

It is often whether discussed professionals like, doctors and engineers should be forced to do work in the nation where they would their pratice or few other public believes free to do job in other naton if they want to do. This eassy focus on both the aspects followed by my opinion.

To begin with, one reason that believe professionals forced to do work on thee nation where they do their trainning. Friendly environment can encourage them to do much more work.To explain it in details, when a doctor or engineer feels own related environment it help to reduces their stress. For instants, when a person have their profession out of their own country they feel unworthy with stress As a results, if he get a friendly own nature environment he can do work on the country where he do his trainning.

On the other hand, there is one reason public believe professionals can freely choose the nation where he or she really want to go for their works. Extra fees on development countries. To elaborating it in further, public can choose nation where they can get enought money to fullfill their basis needs. For instants on, a person who sacrifies anything to get profesions like doctors and engineers that's why he or she should views on different nation to get information about income. as a results, they can be happy with where they freely choose their own choice.

In conclusion, professionals should be forced to do job on the place where they do their pratices or to be free to do work in nation where they choose.

Regarding to my opinion, I think free to choose is suitable because when they get enought money for their work they automatically become faster worker for every work

Task Achievement / Task Response: Band 5.0

You attempt to discuss both views and give a personal position, so the response is relevant to the question. The first body paragraph supports requiring professionals to stay in their training country by suggesting that a familiar environment reduces stress. The second presents freedom to work elsewhere, linking it to earning enough to meet basic needs, and the conclusion states that you favour free choice. However, these points are limited and not fully explained: the connection between familiarity and a professional obligation is unclear, while the argument about income does not explain why professionals should be free to move. Your position is also expressed awkwardly and only briefly. Develop each side with a clearer reason and a specific, relevant example, then explain your own view more directly.

Coherence and Cohesion: Band 5.5

The response has a recognisable structure: an introduction, separate paragraphs for the two views, and a conclusion. Phrases such as “To begin with,” “On the other hand,” and “In conclusion” help signal the stages of the discussion. However, progression within paragraphs is often difficult to follow because ideas are repeated or linked unclearly. For example, the first paragraph moves from a “friendly environment” to reduced stress and then to working in the training country without clearly explaining the relationship. The second paragraph’s opening, “Extra fees on development countries,” interrupts the argument. Some linking phrases, including “To elaborating it in further,” are also used inaccurately. Organise each body paragraph around one clear claim, followed by explanation and an example.

Lexical Resource: Band 4.5

You use some vocabulary relevant to the topic, including “professionals,” “development,” “income,” and “basic needs,” and you attempt phrases such as “friendly environment” and “sacrifices.” However, the range is limited, and frequent spelling, word-form, and collocation errors make parts of the response difficult to understand. Examples include “pratice,” “trainning,” “naton,” and “fullfill”; “extra fees on development countries” is also unclear, and “faster worker” does not express your intended point naturally. Repetition of “work,” “country,” and “free” further limits precision. Build a small set of accurate topic phrases—such as “work abroad,” “retain trained professionals,” and “career opportunities”—and check spelling and collocations before submitting.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Band 5.0

You attempt both simple and more complex sentences, including conditional structures such as “when a doctor or engineer feels…” and “when they get enough money…”. However, the range is limited, and errors occur frequently, sometimes making the intended meaning hard to follow. For example, “it help to reduces their stress” has problems with subject–verb agreement and verb form, while “when a person have their profession” has agreement and sentence-pattern errors. Articles, pronouns, and sentence boundaries are also inconsistent, as in “a person have their profession out of their own country they feel unworthy with stress.” Practise building accurate subject–verb–object sentences first, then add one subordinate clause at a time. Check agreement, verb forms, and punctuation in each sentence.
